Our host was able to make reservations for seating areas for large numbers of people, so once we had two areas of a dozen or more, and a couple other times we had one area of that size. This flexibility was a big plus because we could only guess at how many would make it each time. We had ice-cold beers of every description, including IPAs, hazys, and other local crafts. I can't name them all, and some drafts aren on the printed menu, bu5 8 kniw we had Psychopathy, a flavorful IPA, and Seeing Colors Tropical IPA, with a sweeter / hazy profile. Dont miss their cocktails! We loved the S'More Espresso Martini: vodka, chocolate liqueur, coffee tiqueur, and espresso :-) So much yum! And we ordered various pizzas. Our favorite was the Scenic Supreme (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, black olives) and the Vista Veggie (about the same without the meats). I also saw friends devouring Caprese Canyon (olive oil, minced garlic, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, roma tomatoes, balsamic drizzle). And of course regular pepperoni. Tasty crust, tasty red sauce, (you could get white sauce), generous toppings. We got the large sizes, which were enough for at least four people per pie. Sandwich-wise, the most popular was the Cuban Reuben: marble rye, corned beef, ham, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, dill pickle, and Russian dressing. It's the added ham and pickles that move it toward a Cuban sandwich. Well-stacked, hot, and flavorful. For local flavor, the Goetta sandwich: that flavorful Cincinnati oat-pork hash, with candied bacon, american cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, and ranch. Here and there we shared Buffalo fried-Cauliflower with celery and ranch on the side. This was. Not as spicy as it could be. But if you're going to eat cauliflower, this is tasty approach. We like the tangy Fried Pickle Spears better, served with lightly-spicy chipotle ranch. And we added some fresh crunchy Caesar salads, too, and and amazing pecan, apple, blue cheese, cranberry salad! So many candied pecans! Somehow, the servers kept up with an erratic flow of orders from different groups, keeping track on portable devices, so it was easy for each group to settle their own bill as-needed. It may not sound like much, but it was impressively smooth and error-free. And the staff remained helpful,and cheerful throughout. They built a large playgroup area with slides and climbers and more. Inside there's a large play camper that we spent a lot of time in, too! This is a great place for fresh-air dining, for large groups, and especially for kids. We lived the food and drink. Lots of wonderful leftovers, especially those huge pizzas!

Although the place was not busy, there was a large table with a baby and 2 pre schoolers. They were all well behaved, but still I'm always surprised that breweries are now for kids. I really liked the decor!

From the moment I stepped into Old Scratch Pizza in Centerville, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting atmosphere coupled with the enticing aroma of wood-fired pizzas immediately set the stage for what was to be a delightful dining experience. But it was "The Dayton" pizza that truly stole the show, affirming why this spot deserves every bit of its acclaim. Crafted with the finest local ingredients, "The Dayton" is a testament to the art of pizza-making. The perfectly charred crust, light yet crispy, provides the ideal foundation for a generous topping of pepperoni and a heavenly blend of cheeses that melt in your mouth. Each bite of "The Dayton" is a harmonious symphony of flavors, paying homage to the culinary spirit of Dayton itself. What elevated our experience further was the exemplary service. The staff at Old Scratch Pizza are not just employees; they are passionate ambassadors of good food and great times. It's rare to find a place where the excellence of the food is matched by the quality of the service, and Old Scratch Pizza excels at both. In a world where the art of genuine hospitality can sometimes feel forgotten, Old Scratch Pizza reminds us of its value. It's not just about eating; it's about the experience, the community, and the joy of sharing a meal that's been prepared with care and skill. To anyone looking for not just a meal, but an experience to remember, I cannot recommend "The Dayton" pizza and Old Scratch Pizza enough. Five stars truly aren't enough to capture the excellence of the food and the warmth of the service here. Whether you're a local or just passing through Centerville, make sure to stop by Old Scratch Pizza. It's more than just a meal; it's a taste of the heart and soul of Dayton. read more

Title: Yum I recently had the pleasure of trying the wrap and meatballs at Old Scratch, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! The veggie wrap was perfectly balanced, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that blended together harmoniously. The hummus was the kicker. The meatballs were a true standout - tender, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a burst of savory goodness that left me craving for more. The attention to detail in preparation and presentation was evident, and the friendly staff added to the overall positive experience. Go CHS!I can't wait to return for another mouthwatering meal! This place definitely deserves five stars! read more

This is our new weekly pizza place. We've been going every week since they opened. Everything is made fresh to order and with the highest quality ingredients. The atmosphere is relaxed. The salads are crisp (my son always gets the Caesar salad and loves it). Our favorite pizzas are the Angry Beekeeper and Prosciutto Arugula. They always have a great selection of beer on tap at the walk up bar so you never have to wait on a drink. If the line is long, the wait is worth it. As soon as you order you are seated and can help yourself to a drink and relax while waiting on your pizza (that you won't feel guilty eating). It's delicious and I look forward to our visit each week. read more

I've been going to the old scratch location in downtown for quite sometime now but have recently been to the one in Centerville since it's closer to my house. The Centerville location has lived up to the started that the Dayton location has created as being the best in town. The new location is a great open concept allowing family and friends to gather for great pizza and an assortment of craft beers. I would highly recommend to anyone and I will always be an OSP supporter! read more

Hands down best pizza in town! Having celiac disease I'm very hesitant to eat at pizza place due to cross contamination.

It was easily enough for two or even three people to share. I also had the mushroom steak sandwich, and it was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't the usual smushed, greasy mess you sometimes get with steak sandwiches. The ingredients tasted fresh, and it was flavorful without being heavy.

Thankfully, the cashier kindly substituted cookies instead, and they were a tasty consolation prize.

It definitely earned a spot on my list, and I'll be back--with enough courage to click that "burn the pizza" button next time!
