    Elliot pizza

    Back within a few days. Added three photos. Large Elliot pizza. The name for their cheeses pizza. Lot of cheese. The photos shows just part of their large dining area, the pizza and the three ovens. Semi self service. Order at kiosk, it's brought to the table.

    A couple very close friends of ours took us here for pizza and we definitely enjoyed it all. This is brick oven pizza done right for sure. We're almost jealous of how close they live to this spot. We went on Sunday for lunch and they weren't terribly busy. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring your order to your table when it's ready. The place itself is very laid back and relaxed. The staff are all super friendly. Their menu is all about the pizzas but also features sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Want an adult libation? They've got a great beer selection, good list of cocktails, and a nice wine selection although not as big as the beer selection. My fiancee got the Shroom pizza and I got the apple cider pork pizza (monthly special). For our drinks, my lady got a Cabernet, and I had to try the Warped Wing OSPizza Pilsner. The wait was definitely not long and our pizzas were delicious, especially my apple cider pork pizza, because all the toppings went together so well. If you go this month, I highly recommend ordering one. My fiancee loved both pizzas too. They also have classic vanilla soft serve ice cream if you make a $1 donation to Cones for a Cause (they help a number of non-profit organizations in the Dayton area). Perfect finish to our meal. We'd absolutely go back here again!

    Finally visited the Centerville Old Scratch location and holy cow is it nice. Think pizzeria meets beer hall -- very spacious interior with lots of community style picnic seating. They have large garage type windows lining the front which provide an indoor-outdoor setting when opened. They also have a small patio. The pizza is definitely some of the best around, but don't sleep on the salads or sandwiches. Overall, Old Scratch is definitely worth the visit.

    The pizza was delicious. I had the hot honey one (1st on menu). It was enough for lunch with leftovers. Also got the meatballs as a shareable. You come in and first see the food counter where you order food. After paying you get a number on a metal stand, they bring it to your table. Next you go to the beverage counter and order. Mostly it's long communal style tables and benches inside. Today was rainy and cool, but I saw a lot of outside seating for better weather. Those were the usual round metal tables that seat 4 or 5. Parking is tight though.

    In town on business and decided to stop in for dinner. Bell's reps were onsite handing out free swag and 3 of their beers were on tap. I sat at the bar so I could order my food and drink at one place and not have to go through the food line and drink line separately. I started off the Bell's Amber and Pimento Cheese appetizer. I really liked the hot honey drizzled over the pimento cheese. For dinner I ordered the Dayton pizza. It's covered with pepperoni, which does make it a little greasy, but still very good. The beer I ordered with my pizza was Toppling Goliath Dorothy's New World Lager.

    Stopped by on Saturday afternoon to enjoy pizza, we couldn't decide so we crafted our own with red sauce, pepperoni, cheese, mushrooms & arugula Mom enjoyed a colter - you help yourself once you receive a cup after placing your order. I enjoyed a craft beer from upstate NY from the bar. The pizza arrived hot and fresh right from the oven. Reminded me of pizza in Naples. Definitely get the arugula on a pizza, the pepperness of it adds the best flavor to a pizza. Delicious & will be back for more.

    Do you have gluten free pizza crust? I don't see it on your website.

    Hello Steve. Our menu has a little symbol ( GF ) marked on our salads and appetizers but not on our pizza's. However, we can make any pizza Gluten Free. It is a 3.00 up charge. We do have a separate station that these are made on as well. Thank you… Read more

    Do we need to make reservations?

    We do not accept reservations. Although it can be busy sometimes, we are quite experienced at accommodating parties of all sizes.

    Anyone know what kind of hand sanitizer Old Scratch in Centerville uses?

    We use a brand called Refrasia Care. It is packaged in larger containers which makes it convenient for us. Thank you!

    I hesitated to give it a try after reading some of these reviews about how great it was you could…read moresit and let your kids run rampant, and how great the staff is at dealing with running screaming kids. Then I thought okay it's mid week, lunch time, so I came in. I was limited on time, came in and ordered a pizza and a beer. Told the server she could serve it in the to go box since I had to go sooner than I would have liked. Service was friendly, prompt and she still checked on me after I had paid. 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!

    Parks and Rec is the 3rd Mad Tree location we've been to and even though we like the others a lot,…read morethis was our favorite. My husband was saying how much better it will be when we come back in the summer with the huge patio and all the garage doors open. I agreed, but I also think part of the reason we loved it so much was that even though it was a cold, gray February day, inside Parks and Rec had so much greenery and lots of windows so it felt summery inside! Our server was super friendly and went over the menu with us, telling us which items were most popular and which were his favorites. I got the peanut butter porter which was really good and hubby liked his s'mores stout as well. We split one of their huge pretzels which came with whole grain mustard and beer cheese...delish!! Then I got a 1/2 apple and pecan salad, which was more pecans, apples and dried cranberries than salad (and I mean that in the best way!) My husband let me try one of his chicken wings which had a nice spice to it. We were very pleasantly surprised at how great our whole experience was because the reviews were pretty mixed but honestly, it was a great visit from start to finish. Highly recommend!
