    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!

    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.

    I am visiting customers in the area and staying at a local hotel. I love wood fired pizza and thought I would do a help search. This came up as close and highly rated. It's very industrial looking. Big dining area that you seat yourself.order at the counter. Then sit and wait for it. You can order drinks at the bar. It's separate. I got the margarita pizza and house side salad. Both came out at the same time in about 5 mins. Salad was good and nice size. The pizza is. 6 slice all 1 size. Pizza was decent. I thought the middle could have been cooked a bit more. It was pretty floppy. The sauce is very tomato tasting. Not bad. Cheese was skimpy but you can add more parmesan to it. I did like the char on the crust just wish the middle got more cook to get the whole thing crispy. Staff was nice. I went on a Wednesday afternoon around 3:30p so not dinner time or lunch time. There were a handful of other patrons. I sat at the bar and got a cider. They had a few choices and I got to taste which is appreciated. Overall not a bad experience. I'd go back if I lived in the area. Just tell them to make the pizza a bit more done.

    This is a tough review to write because we've always liked Old Scratch, but I didn't really like the pizza I chose this time. The prosciutto and arugula pizza sounded good but was just bland, in my opinion. I think we'll stick to a pizza with red sauce next time. The caesar salad was fresh, with just enough dressing. As always, the service was very good. A manager went to the back and got us sides of marinara then we later saw him busing tables and even fixing a wonky table leg.

    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!

    Great ice-cold beers, pizza, more. Playground! Indoor and outdoor seating…read more We were in town for a wedding, and we ate at MadTree Parks & Rec several times (May 2026). 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!

    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!

On my first visit, I ordered a cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks, and the Trio Delight pasta. When I arrived to pick up my order, it wasn't ready, so I had to sit around and wait for a bit. The cheese pizza was very forgettable. I was expecting an excellent wood fired char, and that's not what I got at all. I'm guessing they just use stock photos on their website, which sucks, because that pizza looks great! The pasta was okay. It was better after I reheated the leftovers in the oven. Second visit, I ordered the cheese pizza again, and the bruschetta appetizer. As I said before, the pizza was definitely forgettable. I quite literally forgot that I had even had it before, and I would not have ordered it again had I remembered. The bruschetta... LOADED in onions. I put the leftovers in my fridge, and my fridge and freezer still reek, and I've been breathing fire ever since I ate it. Too many onions, and not nearly enough basil. I would not get the bruschetta again. The pizza and pasta wasn't bad, but I wanted it to be SO much better. It's one of those places that I'm not going to write off completely, but I'm definitely not rushing back there. Just bummed because I wanted it to be better.
