Came here recently for a pickup order. We were under a bit of a time crunch so I was very pleased with how quickly they were able to fill the order (~10 min). The pizzas were the smaller side (one pizza could serve two hungry adults). Their ingredients were high quality and the pizzas tasted great. We didn't sit down but the eating area looked really inviting, clean and spacious. I definitely recommend coming by here if you are in town and we will be back. read more

Good pizza! Pizza - Sauce is good and ample. They offer a build your own and several prebuilt pizzas. No substitutions on the prebuilt pizzas. Toppings are plentiful and high quality. Meats were not greasy and their sausage is made in house. They give ample mozzarella on the pizzas. The crust is pretty thin. On their one size pizza, the tip of the pizza is not supported when you pick up a poece and toppings fall off. Either use 2 hands or a fork to start a piece. The end crust is not very bready or substantial. Drinks - over a dozen beers on tap. Some foreign, most local. Good selection. Service is timely and good. The restaurant ambiance is nothing special when the doors are closed. We were there when it was snowing. The 2 garage doors open during the spring make the place special, I am sure. read more

So good. Why is "The Classic" the last item on the pizza menu? ... it should be up front and center! Love the vibe of this place and the pizzas are the perfect size. read more

Old Scratch Pizza - The Classic - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday. The place was pretty empty. Ordered the Specialty Aloha Pizza and an Elliot. The Aloha was very disappointing. Toppings were scarce to say the least and it lacked flavor. The Elliot which is just a cheese pizza was good as usual and had twice the cheese. This was the second time in a row I thought the toppings were lacking. I had the same issue with a Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza previously. read more

I was waiting to try Old Scratch Pizza Neapolitan Style. I enjoyed the Pepperoni (Dayton), Mr. Scratch, Margarita, and Cheese Pizza known as The Elliott. The Angry Beekeeper was the most spicy one. Old Scratch bakes their pizzas in a brick oven unlike other pizza places. The leader of the non-profit in Columbus suggested Old Scratch and was not disappointed. The Caesar Salad was great with their homemade dressing. When I am in Dayton, I will have to check out Old Scratch Pizza with some friends. Thank you so much. read more

About $30 for a pizza and one cider(or beer). Pizza is about big enough for 2. You order, pay and get a number. Then you move down the line and wait again to order a beverage and pay. Get prompted to tip twice(for the food order, and again for the separate drink order) They have bench seating and long tables or 4 seat tables. I came here because I was nearby, this original location has not been my favorite. I tried to ask for a box when I ordered and got the answer that I could have one later, or get it to go. I replied that I was just trying to save someone some work later as I was planning on eating some now and taking the rest. The cashier looked at me like I had 3 heads and smirked condescendingly. That I could do without. They have 3 wood fired pizza ovens, really cool to take a look and see it in action. A few TVs up near the bar. One gal busting A handling the entire seating area with delivering food to the tables. It was kept clean promptly too. She should get the tips!! The pizza was very good, super thin crust, with fresh ingredients. I got the Angry Beekeeper, with hot honey, fresh basil, salami and 2 cheeses. It was delicious. read more

This was the best vegan pizza I've ever had. And the closest one in flavor to pizza in Italy. The dough is delicious, the tomatoes are the best quality, definetly imported from Italy. We really liked the concept of the place, delicious pizza with a full bar. The design is pretty modern, with long tables and cool utensils/napkin/plates kits on each table. What brought me there was a separate section of the menu dedicated to vegan pizza, this is very rare, so I've had to try how is it. The best hands down. With a glass of cold beer, it was the most amazing end of the long day at the Hocking Hills State Park. My husband also enjoyed his pizza and beer. We both agreed it was one of the best we've had so far in US. Knowing that they have 4 locations around Midwest, I'll make sure to visit them in the future while traveling in this area. read more

We've heard a lot of good things about this place and so we had to try it out during UD family weekend. The white pie was SO GOOD.Crispy crust with the perfect amount of flavor. Dayton pizza had my FAVORITE type of pepperoni which is the small slices. The crust on this one wasn't as firm as the white pie but was just as flavorful. Service was fast, pizza was hot and we were really happy with this wood fired pizza joint. Was super nice to have the option to sit inside or out since the weather was nice. read more

Chill vibes, order then they deliver your food to you. Was quick and easy. Order drinks at a bar and you just wait. Down fall: the appetizer of the bread is just pizza bread Salad was too saucy I would say less sauce or on the side The hot honey pizza had too much honey. However the white pizza was delicious! Would come back for that! Hummus was alright They know how to make great drinks! read more

I ordered the BLT wrap and it was awful. The wrap its self is literally pizza crust wrapped around lettuce and tomato. The bacon is actually bacon bits. So it felt like I was just eating lettuce and a few tomatoes. My boyfriend had to remake me the wrap. Unfortunately we didn't have bacon so I had to eat the bacon bits but he made it so I didn't have to eat the pizza cr read more

The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. They have good and fun drinks! It was busy but was not overwhelming.

We were in for a bowling tournament and Old Scratch was right down the road. We arrived on time because after we sat down people starting lining up. Pizza came out fast and hot. Everything was wonderful. They don't skimp on the toppings either. Wish you were closer to where we live so I can try more pies. If I'm ever in the area again. We will def be back. read more

Love this place so much! The crust is delicious and the Angry Bee Keeper Pizza is so good!

We have been to the Centerville location but this was our first time at the Dayton Old Scratch and it was hopping! When we first walked in, we didn't see any tables but the manager greeted us as we stood in line to order, asked how many in our party, pointed to the table we should take, then went over and cleaned it off himself. Throughout the evening, he was helping out with whatever was needed and greeting customers. We ordered our pizzas and they came out hot and delicious a little while later. We enjoyed our cocktails as well. read more

First-timer, visiting from Louisiana for work. My colleagues always talk about Old Scratch so I had to try it for myself. Very busy Tuesday but I was greeted upon entry, quickly served at the bar where I ate and enjoyed a glass of wine, and my pizza came out fast. Let me tell you, their pizza was one of the best I've had. I highly recommend giving them a shot at earning your business. read more

Old Scratch Pizza - Dayton Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

The venue gave like a clean 2000's pizza place next to a bowling /rollerskating rink vibe. Their custom ovens looked impressive. I also loved that their staff was so kind and courteous. The pizza was delectable. I personally loved the Prosciutto Arugula pizza. It was savory and the thin crust was perfectly cooked. My friend likes the Angry Beekeeper Pizza. It contains honey. Pizza Math: A=r² 9 inch pizza = 63.62 square inches 12 inch pizza = 113.10 square inches * Two 9-inch pizzas: 2(63.62)=127.24 square inches * One 12-inch pizza: 1(113.10)=113.10 square inches Cost per square inch: * Two 9-inch pizzas: 127.24/19.986.37 square inches per dollar * One 12-inch pizza: 113.10/157.54 square inches per dollar Conclusion: The bigger pizza gets you more pizza per square inch. So, order the bigger pizza. read more

I thought that the pizza was solid. They use 00 flour, so no need to get the gluten free crust. I got gluten free crust and asked for extra crispy. I think that the original crust may be better as the consistency of the gluten free while good, may not be as solid as the regular crust done extra crispy. I would have liked a bit more cheese, but still a staple. It has a good ambiance with music that is nice and not overbearing. Would definitely come back. I sat at the bar and liked the lady who served me. She was friendly and professional. read more

My friends and I were attending an event at the Dayton Convention Center. Old Scratch Pizza & Beer is nearby that location. The restaurant has a counter to order food. After you order food your order is delivered to your table. There also is a bar for alcoholic drinks. I opted for the Lunch Special with Margherita Pizza and a Caesar Salad. The price for the lunch special was reasonable. The salad was first delivered. The dressing was good and the ingredients were fresh. The pizza arrived a few minutes after the salad it was piping hot and perfectly cooked on wood fired oven. I will definitely visit this restaurant again if I am in the area. read more

I picked up my usual order (meatballs, house salad, shroom pizza) and everything was delicious as usual.

There is just something about going to Old Scratch that no other Pizza place has. Maybe it's the atmosphere or just how it smells when you walk in. From seeing the stone fire ovens in the back to smelling the fresh pizza when being brought out to tables. We always order 3 or 4 pizzas when we go just because we like so many of their choices. Also, we always enjoy their Salad with their creamy Italian dressing. The staff is always friendly and respectful. I have been to 3 of their locations. Dayton, Centerville, & Beavercreek. All 3 are worth stopping at if in the area. Best thing is we always go as a family event. Defiantly a place good for families. read more

We came to Dayton for a weekend trip from Pittsburgh, just to check it out! As is our norm when we travel to new places, we always like to try a well rated pizza joint in town. Old scratch did not disappoint. The service was very fast and the pizza was divine. Lots of people in the restaurant that night and it took some effort to find a parking spot and a place to sit, but we were undeterred--just means it must be good and we were in no big hurry! We got the angry bee keeper and a margherita to share between my husband and I and our two toddlers. It was enough for all of us and we loved both pies. The angry beekeeper was our favorite, as it was something more novel, but we enjoyed them both. If we lived in the area I'm sure this would be a place that we would frequent. read more

Old Scratch Pizza - Angry beekeeper - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Came as part of my 5,700 mile 30 city food tour research. Really enjoyed the counter service and lunch value. Ordered the angry beekeeper which had tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, spicy salami, and house made hot honey. The pizza was very tasty. Enjoyed the crust and the toppings. The hot honey leaned sweet so I asked for Calabrian chili oil to balance for some heat. The service felt a bit slow and disjointed searching for numbers on tables. Otherwise a positive experience and a tasty pie read more

Good food, good service, and A nice indoor and outdoor dining. I would highly recommend.

Contrary to all of the positive reviews, I am suspect is old scratch pizza ages their dough atleast 24 hours before use. If you are prone to stomach indigestion due to "fresh" pizza dough this place might do it to you. I cannot seem to escape bloating and an upset stomach all three times I have tried to go here and force myself to like it (because it does taste great). However, service is always quick and ambiance is nice. read more

A love letter to old scratch pizza: There isn't a week that goes by that I don't think about Old Scratch. It's a place that quickly established itself as a hub for community gathering, and instilled a belief that a place like Dayton Ohio deserves to have something special. I met the love of my life at the bar in Old Scratch. We now share two beautiful children together. But that's just the kind of atmosphere that exists in this place, where a restaurant that's so community driven is capable of opening those doors of friendship, camaraderie, and even love. The food, the staff, and the owners outwardly show their passion for these values, and hold true to the principles of quality that you don't often see in America these days; especially in a place like Dayton. The Sollers (family owners) are the kindest, most thoughtful people you could ever hope to meet. They deserve every ounce of success that comes their way. Their dedication to such high standards is clear in the way that their business operates. So if you're visiting Dayton for the first time, or you somehow just haven't made it there yet, I encourage you to go check it out. Have a Caesar salad and a shroom with chicken sausage for me. read more

We celebrated a friend's 70 birthday here. He wanted a low key vibe ambiance and that was what it was. The restraint was packed so we made allowance for the delays in service. We ordered several pizzas including the special breakfast pizza, the mushroom, and three or so others. I loved the mushroom. Delicious. We also ordered the salad and an order of cauliflower. The salad was amazing and even the kids in the group loved it. The cauliflower looked beautiful on the outside but was not cooked all the way through. read more

Morgan is amazing! Pickles need work, a chicken breast option and chocolate ice cream!

My first time ordering from Old Scratch Pizza. I ordered the Dayton Pizza and added jalapeños and had it uncut. My plan was to refrigerate it and pop it in my oven for later and it was the best pizza I've had in Dayton since I've moved here and I love all the Dayton spots but Old Scratch was the best so far. I've ordered Sally's Apizza (New Haven, CT) numerous times via Goldbelly delivery service and this blew it out of the water. read more

Great place! Quick service and great quality pizza. Cool atmosphere. We enjoyed it after a bike ride.

The pizza! Chef's kiss. Angry beekeeper a the Dayton are incredible. Perfectly crunchy thin crust. Nice flavor on both. Bartender Morgan makes a fantastic old fashioned. Good bourbons at the bar and she interacted knowledgeably with everyone regarding cocktails and tap beers. The oven roasted olives were the perfect app. Tasty little morsels. Definitely will go back when in town. Great vibe as well. The ovens are truly authentic. read more

This place was amazing. Service was great. When you walk in you order your food, take a number, then someone puts you at a table. We had the meatballs, Cesar salad, and chicken bacon ranch pizza which was delicious. I had a drink the thyme spritz I think it was called, that was great too. Overall great food, great atmosphere, and great drinks. Very retro and new inside. Would definitely come back . read more

Love the changes this establishment has made since opening. Their cauliflower appetizer has always been a favorite, but new additions to the menu were great also. Got the hummus platter and loved the flavor of everything. Still not as many topping options as I would hope, but I appreciate the quality of quantity approach. Gluten free crust is some of the best I've ever had and I love that they cook it at a different rate than regular crusts, when I go other places it will be burnt to a crisp. Outdoor seating area is cozy and inside are many more long family style tables. Service is friendly enough, not much interaction needed but they will come take trash if needed. read more

I've really grown to love Old Scratch through the years. The restaurant is always clean and well maintained. I love the openness of the restaurant and the in/out door eating space. I really appreciate the vegan pizza options and the gluten-free options. The vegan Mr. Scratch is my favorite (without the chili's). It's always well cooked and I never have issues with my gluten or dairy allergy. My kids and husband also really enjoy Old Scratch as well. The food is well worth the price. It's always fresh and good, quality ingredients. Service is great as well. read more
