We did not have a positive experience with the food from Flying Pizza. We ordered carry out and the restaurant was clean and the staff was very nice. We ordered a two topping medium pizza and an order of breadsticks. The total for these items were just under $30 before tip. The breadsticks were so hard, they were impossible to bite, we had to tear them to eat them. The pizza was fine, but it had so much dough. The dough overtook the whole taste of the pizza. We would not return. read more

Flying Pizza in Centerville is hands down the best New York-style pizza in the area. The crust is exactly what you want--thin, crisp on the bottom, with just the right amount of chew. The sauce has great flavor, the cheese-to-sauce ratio is spot on, and the slices are big enough to require the proper New York fold! What really sets Flying Pizza apart is the consistency. Whether you're grabbing a couple of slices or taking home a whole pie, it's always fresh, hot, and delicious. No gimmicks, no trying to reinvent pizza--just really damn good New York-style pizza done right. If you're anywhere around Centerville and haven't tried Flying Pizza yet, you're missing out. Easily my favorite pizza in the area and absolutely deserving of five stars! read more

Flying Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Ordered by the slice. Food quality was as if they'd left the slices out for hours. Just not good.

This location is always consistent. Excellent overall. Food. 5 stars. Service. Counter service to order, but they bring it to your table. Ambience. Nothing fancy. No atmosphere but clean., Friendly. read more

Tried this place because several locals have mentioned it being the best NY style pizza in town. I was very disappointed. I ordered ahead due to wanting a calzone and there being a wait time. I also ordered a slice of pizza. The pizza was lack luster and you could tell they added the pepperoni onto a slice of pre-cooked cheese pizza and then re-heated it. Speaking of the pepperoni- it was WEIRD. Tasted more like a salami blend than traditional pepperoni. The calzone was also disappointing. The cheese inside was weirdly runny. Having been to the North East quite a few times to visit family, this definitely misses the mark. read more

I have not been there in years, but it just was not as good as I remember. Definitely could've used more sauce on the pizza.

How have I not had this pizza before?!?! As advertised, it is a definite 'New York style' pizza. We went with a large sausage, pepperoni, and extra cheese. It was huge! The pizza was cut into 8 large slices. We definitely had leftovers. If you don't want a whole pie, they also sell pizza by the slice. The pizza was yummy. It was generously filled with toppings and bonus...not dripping with grease. The box and paper was almost clean. We also went with some side salads. These seemed fresh and included extra crispy veggies and cheese on top. Plus, the lettuce was a nice, dark spinach, versus the iceberg mix that many restaurants use. I did carry out tonight but the inside definitely had a nice sit down area if you'd rather eat out. The guys at the counter were busy. There were a lot of younger employees learning the 'ropes' but everyone was really nice and patient. I didn't have to wait on my call ahead order. I was a little disappointed there was no diet pop in the cooler to take home but not a huge deal. We will definitely be back! read more

They offer a variety of crusts like Sicilian or thin NY Style and have pizza by the slice at all times. Pizza is solid and warmed on the spot. read more

Flying Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Very nice family run pizza place. Very New York style pizza my kids loved it and insisted on leaving a review.

Definitely my go to pizza spot in Dayton. Me and my friends have been going here since high school and we love coming back to get some when we're in town. We stopped in and my friends 4 year old daughter smashed 2 slices on her own (that shows how good the pizza is!) The pizza is always fresh and cheesy and sprinkling some red pepper flakes on top of it in combination with the Parmesan cheese makes each bite perfect. Can't wait for my next trip home to get some more. read more

Flying Pizza - a large pizza on a table - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Everything is always top notch. Pizza is THE BEST in Centerville, coming from someone who has grown up with it. I also love that they sell Mikesell's chips, another Dayton classic. I've never had a bad experience with them. Always super friendly, willing to go above and beyond for all customers. Just this last time I was in one of the brothers that runs the place walked a pizza to an elderly man's car unprompted. Would recommend anyone in the area to stop in, grab a slice, and support these awesome people!!! read more

the price went too high! for just a large cheese pizza. and they just recently, because we haven't been there for quite a few months, changed the red sauce, which has always been a staple of Flying Pizza, that made the flavor so delicious, and now it is Terrible. The red sauce changed the whole flavor of the pizza and so it's plummeted as far as popularity at our house.Before they lose a lot of people they need to go back to the original red sauce. read more

Solid pizza with a cute joint-style interior very reminiscent of a pizza shop in New York. The people at the front are always nice with warm greetings. read more

Go to downtown location. Great Pizza. This Centerville store has changed something plus very skimpy on ingredients. I used to go at least once a week. Over the past several months I have noticed the taste difference. Now if I want flying pizza I drive downtown the parking is free. I won't be back to Centerville store. read more

Been coming here since I was a child! Love this place! The pizza is amazing and the staff is friendly!

If you are located anywhere in southwest Ohio, or passing through Centerville on a road trip, EAT HERE. This place has a true New York feel, the gentlemen behind the counter provide customized service (I enjoy a well done pie), and the pizza is incredible. Toppings are fresh, dough is fresh, and the taste is great. Cannot go wrong. 10/10! read more

Not the best and not the worst. Pretty average pizza and calzones. Neapolitan style pizza is meant to be thin and flavorful. They got the thin bubbly crust right, although it tasted like the dough was only all purpose and not double-0 and maybe had some conditioner in it. When we make our Neapolitan dough it's always 00-flour and top shelf ingredients. We also always bast the dough with olive oil and crack salt across the entire thing. Flavor wise everything was pretty bland. The marinara sauce had no flavor at all. Crush tomatoes and season the sauce with salt or something! The pepperoni calzone also flavorless. The spinach and ricotta calzone was tasty but dipped in the flavorless marinara and it all fell apart. For the price, Old Scratch continues to be the best pizza in the area, unless I'm doing my own dough and baking my own pizza. It's as close to the pizzas as we make and learned to make from folks who've traveled through Naples for many years. Flying pizza is okay. Give it a shot, maybe you'll like it. It's just not for us. read more

Almost everyone I know loves pizza, and they all know the type of pizza they like best. We have tried many different styles, but it's hard to say which is the absolute best. New York style pizza seems to hold a special meaning to many folks, and we had our own special experience with that. There was a great joint just a few doors down from a bar that a friend owns in NYC. Hard to replicate. So we have been our own search for what we think is great NYC style pizza. This place is nice, great folks working behind the counter, super friendly and helpful. Pizza was good but my usual complaint in places like this is that the mushrooms weren't fresh. We had pizza by the slice so maybe next time we will get a whole grab one made and really get the full experience. People in the area seem to love this place. read more

Some of the best pizza we have had In a while. Service was great as the guys here are kind and patient, prices are very fair and overall the environment is very enjoyable. We may have just found our favorite spot and hidden gem! Very affordable to stop in for a slice of pizza and pop-we will be recommending to others and coming back! read more

Been coming here for years. My all time favorite pizza anywhere. Always get a square and a slice. Both great but very different from each other. read more

I ordered large Special. Tasted really good! The only regret is that it didn't have green pepper and I wanted more balanced ingredients. Thumbs up!! By the way, I was a bit concerned that the worker did not wear a mask when I came in to pick up the order. Hope he was wearing one when he made the pizza... read more

Picked up for my wife as she used to go there for lunch. We like to go to local pizza places. This was for her. I had a slice. Not the biggest fan. read more

My number one, go to pizza place in the area. The pizza is consistent every time and the staff is always friendly.

I DO love this pizza but not enough to see the establishment seriously so Covid freaked out that it's almost completely embarrassing. I feel like I'm walking into the set of OUTBREAK! Honestly, is there something going on I'm not aware of? Come on man... like the other review, if you're that scared maybe you should have shut the business down till you felt comfortable opening back up like normal restaurants do. I won't go back either until the craziness ends. I will go to my other go to. It sucks cause I like to support small family owned businesses. The pizza is really awesome BUT, at some point you have to ask is this really helping or hurting my business...100% hurting. read more

They're apparently still scared to death of covid. Most restricted/ locked down place I've encountered in the past year. I won't return until the nonsense ends. Literally five stand-up signs outside the front door telling you to wear a mask. The pizza is good, but if you're that scared, stay home. read more

In a city with a lot of pizza options, this place stands out! I love their New York style pizza and humble little shop in Centerville. Feels like a real local spot when you go in. I always get pineapple pizza (don't @ me), and it never disappoints! read more

I swear to god I hate some human beings! The fact that these owners want to protect themselves and their workers bothers people so much that they refuse to go in. Good! More pizza for me! I love this spot, the food and the service! Keep doing what your doing Flying! I will always support! Mask or not! Still wearing mine too! read more

I really wanted to give this place flying colors, but our pizza was overcooked and sadly they do not use fresh mushrooms. I think the NY style pizza would have been really good if it had not been overcooked. So, I might give it another try. This location is far from fancy in decor, but it's clean. The pizza only took about twenty minutes, so our wait was not long. We ordered the smallest New York Style whole pizza, which was three pieces each for two people. It really doesn't sound like a lot, but the slices are huge. We ended up taking half the pizza home - which is always great for lunch the next day. It wasn't bad, it wasn't the best - but I'll try it again someday. read more

This is one of those inconspicuous places with the BEST pizza! Pizza by the slice or the whole pie, your choice. The slice alone is bigger than my entire hand. They offer two varieties, neapolitan and sicilian. The only wrong choice in not getting a slice. read more

Flying Pizza is very overpriced!! So, I would not go there. Go to Pizza Hut or Papa John's, as it is way cheaper and better!!

Great New York style pizza. I know some people who are from New York that would disagree, but fuggetaboutit. I like it. The Sicilian thick crust is a treat, with lots of garlic. I've been eating pizza from this joint since the 70 s. It's very good. read more
