The food options are pretty limited in Kenton, but this pizza place is pretty solid. We come here when we're in town visiting my grandma. This time my husband and I got: - Chicken Ranchero Pizza (14" with Traditional Hand-Tossed Crust) - Italian American Pizza (12" with NY Style Crust) - Cheesy Breadstix The Chicken Ranchero was my preference between the two. I didn't pay close enough attention when ordering and didn't realize the Italian American didn't have sauce. It was good, but I think it would have been a lot better with a tomato sauce. The Cheesy Breadstix were cheesy as advertised and delicious. This continues to be my go to spot in Kenton. read more

Ask your server what the real prices are before you order. All the prices in the menu are wrong. I discovered this when I got my bill and saw I was charged more for all the calzones that we ordered than the price in the menu. When I brought this to their attention they acknowledged prices had changed but the menus aren't updated. When I pointed out the price in the menu is the advertised price the owner (through the waitress because he wouldn't face his customers directly) pointed to a statement on the front stating the prices may be different. This is false advertising. The food is really good and the waitress was awesome and she ultimately adjusted the bill (I hope she doesn't get in trouble for doing the right thing). We will not be returning because we don't support shady unethical and illegal practices that this establishment is engaging in. read more

A friend recommended this shop for amazing pizza. I'm particular about what I like and thought we would give it a try since she raved about it. The crust is spot on, marinara delicious as well. We started with the pizza rolls which were maybe even better than the pizza and we pigged out on those so we hardly had room for the pizza. My son and I went non traditional. He had a bacon cheeseburger pizza. Now he likes onions, but maybe not enough for what was on the pizza, it pulled away from the rest of the flavors. Without the onions, it was to die for. My truck smelled like onions for days after transporting leftovers. I had a margarita and it tasted fabulous. It has a garlic butter sauce and tons of cheese. I may now need a heart cath! Both of these reheated well in my air fryer. My husband had a supreme pizza that he said was very good as well. I did not sample it, but looked like a traditional supreme with their fab crust and marinara. Evidently we were too busy stuffing our faces to snap any pics! I didn't mention staff! We were one of the few people eating in on a late Saturday night. Takeout orders were hopping. Our server was friendly, checked in often and offered suggestions. We definitely will eat here again. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. Drive from Lima at least twice a month just for there super deluxe.

We used to live in Kenton and at least twice each week, would order a couple of pizzas to go. The pizzas were always excellent, the order was ready to go when I walked in the door (a lot of times it was busy at the counter, but a couple of the employees recognized me and brought the pizzas up to the register ... I always liked that !! Still a great place even though I've been gone several years... came back for a funeral earlier this year, and still great pizza and service. read more

Its been awhile since I've had this spot, so I figured we'd put it back in rotation. After browsing the menu, two specialty pizzas caught my eye: Louisiana Cajun Chicken, and Chicken Bacon Ranch. Chicken Bacon Ranch - so flavorful, creamy and melty, and just delicious! One of the best takes on this flavor combo I've ever experienced. Louisiana Cajun Chicken - Never had a pizza with a legit Cajun based sauce, but this was a culinary stroke of genius. With chicken and smoked bacon, the sauce has a smoky-sweet taste, so it's not on the spicy side. How all the ingredients blend together, you won't miss the spice. I will say this: the pride and attention they take in their toppings offerings really make a difference on their pizzas...especially the smoked bacon. If you're even remotely close to this spot, you owe it to yourself to check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food, service, atmosphere! Highly recommend this place. Pizza was great ! Nice clean restaurant as well.

Some of our children live in New York. Michael Angelo's is a slice of New York in Kenton Ohio. Best pizza in town.

A little pricey, but the best pizza in town. Try the 101 pepperoni. Nice patio to set at in the warmer months. Not a lot of seating inside

Stopped at Michael Angelo's while passing through town. What is there to say? When pizza is good, pizza is good! If I was back their way again I would certainly patronize their business again. read more

This used to be the place to go for pizza in the area ....... was a little expensive but well worth the price. Not sure what has happened but while the price has stayed the same the quality has really deteriorated. read more

We like the pizza and go for it as we like. Our last time was surprisingly good. The pizza we ordered was made wrong and we were informed of that before it was brought out. So, that pizza was on the house, and we also got the correct pizza as well. Oh yes, that's a lot of pizza!! For 2 people! Thank you! read more

Year's ago this was a very good pizza place. Now it's very greasy pizza. However, the best pizza in Kenton. read more

When it comes to pizza, this is a place you need to try. Cajon chicken with extra extra cheese is my favorite. It comes with extra cheese, but it's awesome when you have them add more. read more

Amazing pizza!! The service is great and friendly. If you love loaded chips, this is the place to get them. Hands down the best!!

I have to say I wish I was in Kenton more often just because of Michael Angelo's Pizza! The menu isn't like the usual pizza house. It's more of a gourmet pizza place. I had a cheeseburger pizza and it was great! Cheese bread, BOMB! The service was outstanding and it wasn't a long wait for my food. Good seating room and it looks like there is outdoor seating in the summer, but I could be wrong about that one. This is a GREAT pizza place! read more

Great pizza especially for the area, the staff is great and a little more pricey than other options but worth the few extra bucks for a consistent and quality product read more

When my husband suggested this place I was excited. I love small nonfranchise pizza places. We split the pepperoni breadsticks which are not really breadsticks but are more liked baked pepperoni filled burritos. Paired with the garlic dip, they were beyond fantastic!! My daughter and i split their Margherita and my husband had the Italian American. Leftovers are expected! The portions are huge and delicious. Now for the lone negative we encountered. Service was slow! They prioritize takeout orders over dine in -- as they should-- and there was a lot of that tonight . Be patient... the food is so worth the wait!!! read more

We live in Kenton & frequent Michael Angelo's often. We have had many items on the menu & have never been disappointed. My grandchildren love the desert pizza (Peanut butter & chocolate) no big surprise there! Definitely recommend. Like many places, they are short on help so they are doing carry out only at this point. read more

As most people would agree I hope. The pizza is excellent. The service and employee attitudes are beyond in need of supervision. There were 4 female employees that were more interested in laughing with each other and joking around rather then getting organized and address the customer needs. The clip board with pending ticket orders were hanging in plain view and there were 10 pending orders. I tried to phone in an order but the answering machine said the box was full so I drove 15 minutes to see what's up. The employee at the counter admitted to me that they put all the lines on hold. She then told me it would take 15 minutes for my order. I sat out in the car and returned 16 minutes later. My ticket order was still 4th in line and not started yet. So while I continued to wait I noticed the continuous horse play. I hope the owner reads this and gets pro-active with his staff or I am afraid that a once excellent pizza place will bite the dust. read more

Good pizza...nothing spectacular, but good nonetheless. Service was really good except when she went on break. Didn't see anyone for 30-minutes and she even told her coworkers that she was going on break. I would come back, but would probably try some other places first. read more

Michael Angelo's is basically Kenton's claim to fame behind those disgusting Coon Dog Nationals that we hold every year. The owner, Michael Shepherd, has been on the US Pizza Team twice. And he's pretty good! Anyhow, the food. The food is excellent, their pizza is regarded as what pizza should be. It's traditionally done in the New York style of big floppy pieces and lots of sweet sauce, which is a huge change of pace around here. The prices are a bit high, but you get what you pay for. Aside from the standard pepperoni/cheese/sausage/whatever pizzas, Michael Angelo's has a lot of gourmet specialty pizzas too. My favorite being the Louisiana Cajun Chicken Pizza, an award winning pizza, and for good reason. My recommendation is to get a nice traditional pie, and an order of twisty breadsticks to go with. Absolutely delicious, and it's one of the few good things I can say about Kenton. Now let's just see if the city council manages to scare them out too. God I hate this shithole! read more

Wow! I haven't eaten here for years and it is even better than I remember! My wife and I started with cheesy bread sticks. This is basically small cheesy pizza with delicious pillowy crust. My wife got a calzone and I got an Italian-American personal pizza. Both were fresh and tasted great! read more

Michael Angelo's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Kenton, Ohio

When we travel, we are always on the look out for non-fast food joints for lunch, so when I saw Michael Angelo's listed on Yelp we checked it out. The pizza was really good - we had a large Hawaiian pizza - which was more than enough for three of us. We got a dozen BBQ wings too - I wasn't terribly impressed with the wings. They were pretty fatty and kind of soggy, and we didn't finish them. I wouldn't order the wings again. I think our waitress was having a bad day, but overall I'd come back for the pizza! read more

This is my go-to spot when I'm back at home in Kenton, which isn't very often! But when I am here, this is what I ALWAYS get. I assume my family gets annoyed by it! They barely even have to ask what I want for dinner anymore! I have never had a bad pizza here; we usually get take out. but have dined in a few times and always had a great experience. They have a great menu with a lot of options, you can't go wrong! Their subs are always great, I always split a BLT with whomever is up for it! I don't know when I'll be back in Kenton, but I will definitely be getting Michael Angelo's! read more

Best pizza in town, the county even! I like thin crust supreme. My wife likes the Marghetta pizza . Pepperoni rolls are great! Yes it's expensive, but you get what you pay for. read more

In town for the night for work at the local hospital and ordered dinner before my shift. I had the Italian sub and it was out of this world! The fresh bread really made this sub great. Well done folks! Would highly recommend! read more

The best pizza in my opinion, my husband and I drive from Indian Lake to go here because it's so good. They are busy a lot of the time so you might have a wait if you plan to dine in, so be ready for a wait, it's mostly like that on weekends. But it's so worth the wait, I love their sauce and the crust is amazing. We love the peanut butter and chocolate pizza, it's very good and get a take home box because you most likely won't finish it, because it's sweet and filling. If you are looking for a great pizza stop here, it's not a cheap throw it on the pan pizza either, I think the price is fair for the quality and quantity of food that you get. The toppings are fresh not dumped from a can like most places. read more

I like Michael Angelo's food, I am giving them a 2 star because their website is grossly out of date. Ordered take out and arrived to find my bill was 40% higher than it should have been. read more

We order Carry out for a meeting for 4 people. We got the special of the day which was 2 topping large for $11.99 each. It was a good value and two pizzas fed the group well. The outside artistry is very nice with American flag. Well done. Nice local pizza place. read more

Wow! Really enjoyed the thin crust pizza we had tonight! The crust was just a little crunchy which I think is just right. Service was great as well. I just wish there was something they could do about the cold air that went through the room every time someone came in or out. If we weren't from out of town, I know we would be frequent visitors! read more

I need to explain why just two stars. Mostly due to disappointment after the big buildup I got from friends. I am serious about pizza and could be considered a pizza snob. I have been to famous pizza places all over the US and Italy, I have been making my own for decades, and I have very specific tastes. A colleague and I drove 60 miles from another small town in OH just to try the pies. 60 miles each way, so we made the effort from our side. To be clear, the pizza I had was pretty good, and I'd be glad to have this place in my home town. However, I had much higher expectations. First, the salad was highly forgettable. I ordered a balsamic dressing that was just vinegar, period. I sent it back for ranch, not a good sign. But this is a small town in the eastern Corn Belt and fancy salads probably wouldn't do well. I decided to order a Margharita pizza since they are very basic and I wanted the quality of the crust to come through. This was not the classic Pizza Margharita, not even close. There was no tomato on the pie other than some small pieces of tomato sprinkled on top. The "white garlic sauce" was invisible and could not be tasted either. I asked for my pizza to be light on cheese, again to experience the crust. What I got was crust, lots of cheese, and a few bites of tomato. No basil whatsoever, just some dried oregano. A serious pizza guy like the owner ought to know exactly what you put on a Margharita, or not call it by that name. The crust was quite good, but there was so much cheese fencerow to fencerow that the crust was buried. If you are in Kenton and want a nice pizza, way better than the chains, this place is fine. If you want serious pizza that hews to tradition, and have to travel to get it, better get Jim Lahey's book "my pizza", and make your own. read more

Was here for a wedding and had to get lunch in between ceremony and reception. The best place in Kenton. They had a few craft beers ans their pizza and bread sticks are delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming. If you are in kenton, this is definitely the place to get a bite to eat read more

Heard about this pizza place by reading Michael Shepard's book "Growing Pizza" and really wanted to try it. I just started in the pizza business in Eastern Indiana and me and my friend decided to make the hour and a half drive to try it. The toppings and the sauce were great but the crust itself was my favorite part. Crust was nice and crunchy and had that amazing flavor only his oven can make (couldn't get the waitress to tell me what it was lol). Definitely worth the road trip and being a pizza guy that hasn't been in the industry long it gave me something to shot for... Thank you Michael Shepard and all his great employees. read more

Awesome pizza! Fresh salad and pizzas can be ordered any size, even specialty pizzas. Great!

My husband bit into a hard piece of something in our pizza and broke a chunk out of his tooth, several attempts were made to contact the owner with NO response! read more

Relying on Yelp for our quick business stop in Kenton lead us here. Service is outstanding - very warm and friendly. I had the Margherita Pizza, my husband had the deluxe, and my 11 year old had the pepperoni 101. Everything tasted very fresh. Margherita had great flavor and was light at the same time. It was one of the best I've had. Our only regret was not noticing they had an option for thin, crispy crust, and the server, who was otherwise wonderful, didn't mention we had a choice. I guess we were in a hurry and didn't look too closely at the menu. Someone at the next table ordered it and it looked FABULOUS. I'm still thinking about it wishing I would have known. My bad. Their signature crust is most excellent, and I would happily eat it again though. We were intrigued by the peanut butter chocolate dessert pizza and gave it a try. Not our favorite. It's a GIANT mound of straight, very thick peanut butter on crust (looked like a whole mid-sized jar) with big chocolate swirls. Too much for us, especially on top of our actual pizza. It didn't go together well at all...for us. All the tables around us ordered the breadsticks to start and I think we missed the boat there. They also just switched to Pepsi products, and I'm personally not a fan, so my only other suggestion would be to switch back to Coke products, especially with pizza. :) read more
