It was our first time at Dewey's. Our friends have raved about the place and decided to take us there after a track meet at Welcome Stadium. It did not disappoint! We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was fantastic! The pizza menu was extensive with all fresh ingredients. I love that you can have your pizza made exactly how you want it...white or red sauce, all types of cheese toppings, and the assortment of mushrooms is yummy. I can't compliment this establishment enough. We will be back soon! read more

Their pizza was pretty good! It'll definitely fill you up. Their waiters are attentive and will keep your glasses full. I appreciated the customer service my mother and I received. This is a good place to go if you want to try new toppings on pizzas. They have good combinations read more

Dewey's has the freshest ingredients on their pizzas, calzones & salads! My favorite is their Caprice Pizza, which has olive oil, minced garlic, mozzarella-fontina blend cheese, fresh basil & roma tomatoes on it. I have multiple friends that love their calzones as well. You will not be disappointed! PS: Their RANCH = 5 out of 5! read more

Ok, this place is a chain, but it is awesome. I took off a star because it is a chain and I am against chains on principal. Ok, I had the Caprice and was blown away. The crust was perfect, and the cheese was wonderful, The mix of cheeses, veggies, and meats is mind-blowing at this place - considering it is a chain. Now, the garlic was supposed to be minced but they put whole cloves on the pizza. I thought this was wonderful. Good beers on tap, nice decor, and on the ball service from a very friendly crew. Close to UD, takes credit, open late, and good for families. read more

Dewey's has pizza that is great by Dayton standards but just good by anywhere else's (Dayton has HORRIBLE pizza). The Billy goat (but with red sauce) is my fave. However, the salads here are so addictive. I get them constantly to take home and take to work with me. The grape and walnut has become my new favorite, I can eat it by the bucketful. Try them all, they are all delicious. read more

Ordered the Dr. Dre and was completely disappointed. I drove home 18 minutes away and the pizza was ice cold when I got there. Not only that, I swear there was NO CHEESE which defeats the purpose of having a pizza entirely. Chicken was very bland. Poor representation of the name "Dr. Dre." read more

Ate at Dewey's by chance on a road trip last week. I would go back to Dayton just to eat here again. I had the Edgar Allan Poe and it was amazing!! read more

I was visiting the area for an interview and went here afterwards. It was awesome that they have the option for 2 different pizza styles on one pizza. Also, I could have mixed the sauce types too (which isn't common, at least where I live). The mushroom pizza was fabulous. The chicken rosemary was also good, but if I got to order from here again, I'd probably reorder the mushroom and try another new option. The crust was amazingly fluffy and light. I have a few places back home in the Bay Area that I love, but I'd have to say that Dewey's was just as great or better. Plus, the service was speedy and the staff was super sweet. I accidentally left something there and didn't notice until I got back to California. ... they're mailing it back to me, and seemed happy to do so. Wow. Talk about great service, and nice people! Ambiance: it seemed like a mix of family, friends and business. If I had a business event going on, I'd feel fine going there. Yet, it was relaxed enough that I felt fine reading a book there on my own. All table seating and they put the pizza on a raised tray in the middle of the table. read more

Ordered pizza on phone and told to arrive in 40 minutes. When arrived, order hadn't started and was told it would be another 20 minutes. Recommend avoiding phone orders and just got in to order as the wait time is the same. Note: Just watched them make my pizza after being here for additional 15 minutes. read more

Excellent pizza. Great selections. A maze of pizza options. Sort of a Cheesecake Factory for Pizzas. Great in dining experience before Covid. We do takeout when we can get down there. Wish it was closer. read more

Very very very pleased with the service and the food! Rarely do we ever feel welcome with our 4 children! The host, waitress, cooks were all super friendly and put on a show for us as we watched them flip the dough! Will definitely come back!!!!!! SUPER PLEASED! read more

Excellent pizza! They have your traditional pizza and white sauce pizza as well. I've also had great service every time I am in there. That is honestly one of the reason I choose Dewey's over other places. Seriously the best pizza in Dayton. Another cool thing they offer that we did this Spring was to take part in Dewey's Pizza school. They take you in the back and let you make whatever pizza you want. They show you how to stretch the dough including tossing it in the air and then let you put whatever toppings you want on it. From there you can either share your pizza on the buffet or take it back to your table for yourself. This was also one of the first times I've tried there salads and they are outstanding! read more

I've heard so much about Dewey's and have always wondered... what's the big deal? Well this pizza was yummy! I had a white pizza with spinach and fresh mozzarella, and the meatball pizza. Both extremely satisfying and flavorful. Service is friendly as well. Definitely a great place to grab a bite with friends. read more

So I've never been in Dewey's but my lovely, understanding boyfriend thoughtfully drove and picked up a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza which was the Edgar Allan Poe and the Billy Goat one weekend when I wasn't feeling well. It certainly helped me feel better! I love that at this place, the toppings are the star. It isn't so much about the crust, or the sauce, but rather how everything interplays to create so much flavor. The hunks of garlic were delicious and almost buttery and I found myself picking them off of the remaining slices just to savor them! They were so nice to suggest that they do a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza as the boy and I do have different tastes and we both wanted to get something that we liked (but still have enough to share!) They have them where I live in Columbus but I've never been there. I may have to try them out now. read more

Great pizza with good crust. Actually, good pizza with great crust! Awesome toppings, exceptional salads, and a nice tap beer selection. Only negative on the pizza is they tend to be a bit oily (not greasy, olive oily -- if there is a difference). Place is a little loud and always crowded, but I guess that goes with being popular. Given the choice, I will go with Spinoza (plus up for atmosphere, pizza, and beer) but I have zero issues when the gang wants Dewey's. read more

Just OK. I don't really have any complaints. It was sort of like a chain-restaurant experience. Pretty good pizza. Fast service. Price is fair. read more

Checked this place out after hearing about it from multiple people. I came here for dinner at around 7PM and there was about a 20 minute wait to get a table on a Sunday. While you're waiting there is a glass window where you can see the workers hand tossing pizza in the air, which is always fun. After we were seated, they gave us water and gave us a little time to look at the menus. It's a little pricey, but the pizza's come out pretty huge. What we ended up getting was 2 pizzas, one with half southwest bbq chicken, which was a little heavy on the bbq sauce to be honest, and half ryan's inferno, which was the best one in my opinion, but the sauce was as little overpowering as well. The other pizza was half build your own with pineapple and black olives, and half the seasonal special, which was some sort of stuffed baked potato pizza, which was pretty good, but a little lacking for flavor and kind of salty. The best part of the pizza was the crust, which was chewy but crispy at the same time, and just tasted fresh! Overall, I was impressed with the quantity of the pizza because if you get the large, they are humongous and more than enough food. The execution of the flavors could be better, but it may just have been the pizza's that we ordered. The waiters are always willing to tell you their personal favorites and what we should order, which was really helpful, so A+ for service. Grade: B- read more

Loved it. Food was excellent, waitress recommended the Porky Fig, it was amazing. Wait staff was great, very attentive. They also have craft beer on tap. read more

Trendy family oriented with an active vibe with equally more customers over 50 and many clearly over 70 on the night I visited (Saturday) attested to the multigenerational appeal of this pizza. I ordered a 13 in half-half Don Corleone and half Procheutto Arugula. A glass of the JackieO brown ale complemented the pizza perfectly. The arugula pizza was the clear winner where the greens tossed with vinaigrette was an awesome combination especially with the addition of cracked black pepper which Chrissy recommended. The meat mix of the Corleone was unusual for most pizza establishments and one I'd recommend trying. Only thing was I sat at the bar and the servers were bringing their dirty plates and depositing them in front of me on the way to the kitchen. Not entirely appropriate. But then again, this establishment is not really a bar. Still... And if you're counting calories, they tell you what the calories are for everything on the menu, including the beer. The problem is that this makes going to this restaurant a guilty pleasure, but at least you're informed! It was a pleasure nonetheless. read more

It's been a few years since I had eated @ Dewey's, but every pie, every salad was first rate. Great staff and a perfect selection of beers on tap. Gotta love the Dr. Dre pizza read more

Good atmosphere for a pizza place. It's not a pizza joint. It's a pizza restaurant. Good selection of drafts and the menu features tasty combinations of offerings. If you get a salad, it's a little pricey but the atmosphere makes it worth the occassional visit. read more

Great pizzas great selection. Solid prices always like coming here for pizza. Solid location. Awesome they have gluten free pizzas

My family loves the location near UD! They have great pizza and salads. But I think its the exceptional customer service that keeps us coming back! The bartender offered a wealth of info on the beers on tap allowing me to sample all I inquired about as we waited to be seated.Keep up the great work read more

Hands down the best crust I've ever tasted on a pizza! I love the college town trendy cool atmosphere. The logo and marketing is fantastic. And the choices of pizza....out of this world!! The Buffalo chicken pizza is flat out amazing!! The Billy Goat pizza is very good, but could benefit from black truffle oil drizzled on it, it would make it perfection in a pizza! Spectacular service and phenomenal food will keep us going back again and again! The peppercorn ranch salad is to die for!! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Service is exceptional and the salads pizza and draft beers are top notch!! For a family of five, we order two 17" pizzas and there isn't a lot packed up to take home. My 6 year old can polish off half a 17" pizza by himself if I would let him. If you go, you will not be disappointed! read more

Awesome pizza and calzones service and staff very friendly. Dewey's has been a great place for me to go and get great food . Only a few blocks away from Miami Valley Hospital been here for over 50 days Kendall was our server my last visit and was very nice and knowledgeable on the menu items. Thanks Ken read more

My family and I have been patronizing this Dewey's location for over a decade and have never had a bad experience. Not only is the food fresh and delicious every single time, it's my belief that any new business (and many existing ones) should have to take classes in customer service from Dewey's. Every team member is intent on keeping happy customers and it's kind of nice to be able to see how the meals are made through the large glass wall that shows the kitchen area. Dewey's is a great place for families, date nights, business lunches, or a meal after the game. read more

A wonderful, relaxing ambience...and with beer, wine and pizza...who could ask for more? Well of course we all do... and there is. The Dewey's team has developed what seems to be a one of a kind customer serving process. ALL of the service staff wait on ALL of the customers (and at high speed)...the result is spectacular and responsive service. The menu is simple: great salads, delicious hand-tossed, stone baked pizzas and irresistable desserts. It's like the TV "Cheers" bar where everybody knows your name. read more

Deweys is a rare gem in the Restaurant Chain spectrum. I typically get the Billy Goat and the pairing of Goat Cheese with Sun-Dried Tomatoes on a perfectly shaped and hand tossed crust that tastes fantastic is hard to beat. Hands down, this is the best pizza in Dayton. The prices are slightly higher than normal pizza places but you get quality ingredients and a nice experience. One of the highlights of my visit with my child was allowing her to go up and watch the pizza dough tossing. The guys in there were awesome! They were tossing flour at the glass that separated them like zoo animals from the watching masses. Good fun! read more

Everything I've had at Dewey's is awesome. The specialty pizza's are creative & delicious, the salads are fantastic too. Service is good and always with a smile, you can't go wrong here. read more

LOVE THEIR PIZZA! I've been to Dewey's many times and I always leave a happy camper :) Great quality, excellent service, and most important....the food is sooooo freakin good! You can't go wrong with anything you order but I usually go one of two routes: 1. Ryan's Inferno....because how can you say no to ranch drizzle, chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, and gorganzola cheese on a delicious crust??? The answer is, YOU CAN'T! 2. Custom - black olive, ricotta, and feta cheese. All the toppings are really fresh and always yummy. Another must have is their caesar salad. It's pretty much your typical caesar but for some reason theirs just tastes better than most. If you haven't been, go now! You won't want to order delivery ever again! read more

The best ever! The porky fig is unbelievable! Will do pizzas half and half. The large could feed two for four meals ! Great service, wish we lived closer! read more

We have heard nothing but wonderful things about this pizza so of course had to give it a try. We went on a Wednesday evening and it was not too busy. We ordered the harvest salad and a large pizza, half bronx and the other half the meatball. The salad was very good, fresh and tasty. The pizza however was very disappointing. I'm not particular about how done a pizza is cooked, but this was underdone, very doughy towards the middle. I found that the toppings were fresh but very sparse, considering the price of their pizzas I just expected a little more with the toppings. Very average to say the least. The service however was excellent and above average. read more

Service was spectacular! Food was amazing! What more could you ask for? Definitely will be coming back! Melanie was fantastic

Wow! Amazing food ... awesome service! We'll be back when we're in town again. The Harvest Salad was uniquely delicious.

Dewey's is a staple for us. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is always incredibly attentive and kind. We often jokingly wonder where Dewey's (all Dewey's- not just this one) finds their employees because we have yet to meet one that isn't an A+ waiter/waitress/bartender/etc. Sometimes we order carry out because my husband loves the pizza (he would give it 5 stars; my rating of the pizza is 3 stars). But sometimes we get carry out because I want one of their delicious salads! I personally love their house salad and their seasonal strawberry macadamia nut salad. And then inevitably I steal a piece of pizza. read more

Dewey's is the BEST OHIO pizza. It is always busy on weekends, so expect a 10-30 minute wait for prime dinner time. If you want to save a little money, I would go for the Calzone. It comes with three toppings, is the size of a small pizza folded in half, and is under $9. Whereas a small pizza is about $12.50 with a cost for every topping. I get my Calzone without ricotta cheese, and am very generous in dipping it in the sauce. Why is Dewey's the best? The crust, and their Red Sauce. My mom is also a fan of their salads, which they seem to be proud of. I have not tried their desserts, but they are always changing and are brought in from a variety of local bakeries. You will not be dissappointed in their Customer Service! Everyone works as a team and splits their tips at the end of the night. They have a magical code to every drink, and will most likely never ask you what you had, but will always properly refill it. If you happen to have a problem, the management goes above and beyond to make it right. read more

Excellent pizza and outstanding service! We had "The Meatball". This is our first time here and we will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Awesome service, fast, and friendly. We got half and half of their specialty pizza. Every time a worker would walk past our table, they would stop and offer refills. The pizzas took around 15 mins. They don't charge for refills and gave us ranch to go. Comfortable and clean inside along with a bar with beer on tap. They have a wine menu as well. Very impressive and very tasty, definitely recommend. read more

One of the best pizza joints I've been to in a long time, with easily one of the best pizza crusts I've ever tasted. Considering this place is in Dayton, OH, we weren't expecting much of a comparison to what you can get in/around Boston, but Dewey's certainly brought a high quality pie to the table. Everything tasted phenomenal and you could tell how fresh the food was in every bite. On top of good eats, the service was meticulous and everyone in the place was catering to our dining experience as we sat at the bar for a late lunch. I'd highly recommend making this place a definite stop if you're spending some time in Dayton, OH. Will have to make it back to Dewey's on an annual basis to try out all of the pizzas they offer on the menu. Every single one sounded amazing. Really glad to have stumbled upon this place thanks to yelp. read more
