OMG! Your pizza special The Animal was so amazing. I tried it last night and loved it. I was so sad that today is the last day for it. I had to come back today to get it again. So delicious! read more

When they first opened I was very much against the ordering and seating set up. Community tables are not my favorite concept, considering a lot of people aren't that friendly or welcoming. I also don't like that you stand in line to order as soon as you get there, then you have to wait around for a table to open. Luckily it hasn't been that busy the last few times my friends have dragged me there so seating hasn't been as much of an issue as it used to be when they first opened. The food is good. I like the cauliflower appetizer, and some of the pizzas I've tried. And I like the style of pizza much better than thick crusts or other heavier doughs. The service is fine. They just drop off your food. You get your own drinks either at the bar or the soft drink machine. Overall it's a decent joint. Not my favorite and I think a bit overhyped, but still enjoyable when friends and family want to go. read more

Love the different type of pizza, it's different than most pizza joints! Service is always pretty solid besides they do get along line a lot, but I just think they need a bigger space and that will come down the road if they keep doing a great job! read more

Th food was great and the service was even better. Such a great ambiance. We will be back!

Best pizza! Been all around the world- Italy, Spain, Alaska, and New York. Dayton, Ohio has the best pizza- lol. Has a creative menu and great beer list. Never disappoints. Fun atmosphere great and great price. Indoor or outdoor seating. Great friendly service. Watch your pizza being made in the crafted wood burning ovens. read more

What a neat place. The environment is game day focused but with serious pizza. The pizzas are reasonably priced for the size and toppings. I would call this a crust focused pie. I'm used to the focus being the pizza toppings so I consumed twice the amount of slices I usually would. So no guilt ordering your own pie. read more

That pizza is awesome and the atmosphere is friendly. The pizza is original and crispy.

Flew in to watch the races at Eldora and wanted to grab a quick bite. Service was great! Pizza was even more amazing! Delish!

The meatballs are always delicious. I tried the seasonal veggie (carrots with pepitas) and it was delicious!

Amazing pie and chill atmosphere! We will definitely be back! Prices are great as well!

BEST PIZZA IN THE AREA!! Went here on a Friday night for dinner with a couple buddies. Once we entered, the line then had to start forming outside. It took a significant amount of time to finally order and get a table. You can get a beer while you wait in line. I would recommend ordering beforehand and picking it up. We tried the Pep Rally, Chicken Bacon Ranch, and Mr. Scratch. It didn't take long for our pizzas to come out. Due to being very hungry and the pizzas looking really good, for the first time, the phone did not eat first. The pizza was thin and did have a crispy underside. The pizza was very soft but still had a great taste. The Pep Rally was must try. It had a very complimentary sweet taste to an extremely mild spiciness. My buddies enjoyed the pizza so much much that they came back a few days later and introduced it to more buddies. Overall, I will keep coming back when in the area. read more

Individual sized, Neopolitan style pizzas? Count me in! We enjoyed our experience at Old Scratch from essentially the moment we parked. Approaching the building, you will notice a large mural with the logo, and an adjacent outdoor patio. It was pretty crowded when we went on a Friday night, and the line was almost out the door. When we got inside, I was impressed with the size of the interior as well as the layout and decor. As we approached the ordering counter, there was an employee directing us to which tables were available to sit at after we ordered. You order food at the counter and are given a number to put on the table. If you want adult beverages, those are ordered at a separate counter to help with flow. It took about 20 minutes for the pizzas to be ready after ordering. They also have appetizers, salads and a few a sandwiches, but we opted to stick with pizza since that's the reason we came. We wanted both a 'red' and 'white' pizza so we chose the Angry Bee and Chicken Bacon Ranch. The Angry Bee has a base of tomato sauce topped with fresh mozzarella, basil, spicy salami and 'house-made' hot honey. The Chicken Bacon Ranch was as expected with white sauce (ranch) base, topped with chicken sausage, applewood-smoked bacon and red onions. Both were pretty good, but I wish they were cooked a bit more -- the crust wasn't as crisp as I had hoped. Not unexpected though, as they are so busy they probably try to crank out the pizza's as quick as possible! I will also mention that the hot honey really wasn't hot at all -- even with added red pepper flakes I was disappointed with the heat level. We did enjoy both pizzas though and were able to take a few slices home for leftovers. Overall, we really liked the atmosphere and the pizza was decent -- but next time would definitely order it extra crisp or the like to get that extra crunch on the crust! The pizza is a solid 4/5 but the staff and environment has me bumping this review to 5 stars! read more

Pizza is one of our go-to foods and comfort foods. We especially like wood fired pizza. Old Scratch was a nice surprise. Very welcoming atmosphere and lots to choose from on the menu. We ordered a Deluxe (pictured) and a Mr. Scratch and both were delicious. We also ordered a Caesar salad. Everything was great. You go to the counter and order your food, they give you a table number and bring it to you. All pizzas are 12", although they apparently have a 9" for lunch. Very competitive prices. Highly recommend. read more

This used to be my old Warehouse years and years ago, but they really fixed it up. Looks amazing. The pizza was absolutely epic

Great service and food. I placed an order online and I appreciated the curbside pick up service. My food was fresh, hot and flavorful.

Excellent food, both times I've been. Ate in the first time, but got to go this time and it's great either way. We tried the Dayton and the Angry Bee Keeper. They were both amazing and I wished I'd order bigger or more We had friends from out of town and they were impressed as well read more

This was our first time at Old scratch pizza as we're staying for few days at Dayton and trying new places. This place seems to be packed and good with family and friends. They make cute Mickey Mouse shape pizza for kids which is really cute. I personally love their margarita pizza. It is a casual place. Service is good. read more

Been hearing about this pizza, and finally got to try. It is close to UD Arena and we met family here before game. Food was plentiful, and not too expensive. You order, pay, and then they bring it out to your table. Here's the rundown: Full House Salad - $15 but easily fed 4 or 5 of us. And it was great! Margherita Pizza - $12.70 and one was plenty for 5 or 6 of us to have a slice. Angry Beekeeper Pizza - $14.70 and loved the hone on this! Deluxe Pizza - $15.70 and was delux Vegetable Special - $11 and this just puzzled me. I originally thought it was pizza, but was grilled vegetables. Mostly leafy lettuce, and the advertised cabbage was no where to be found. Would not do this again. Beer and wine are available for purchase as well, and it was comfortable to bring the young ones here. Good pizza...but not my favorite. Still, I wouldn't hesitate to dine here again. read more

Went here for a group event and they had a separate room we used which was really nice as an option. The pizza was good and they had a number of drink options. The salads cane with a lot of dressing already mixed in. If you prefer lighter dressing, might want to ask for it on the side. They had a little of vegan pizza options and gluten free crust if those things are of interest to you. read more

Second of many visits to come! Ordered online for pick up and it was ready in 15 minutes and the pizza was excellent!

This place is hit or miss. Sometimes the house salad is bomb and sometimes everything kind of falls flat. Young staff that generally don't care very much. It's pretty much self service, you order at the counter, someone brings your food, but you get your own drinks and refills. And good luck trying to get a box when you're done. I know where the boxes are by the kitchen by this point because no one will bring you one and I have to get it myself. I'm not sure why the tip suggestions are so high when it's not a full service restaurant. The suggestions are 20%, 25%, and 28%. My total was 24 dollars and I chose custom tip for 4$. The cashier was a young pretty brunette girl with a mullet. She said 'cheap' under her breath and then said 'oh sorry'. In a passive aggressive way. My friend had just been diagnosed with acute leukemia and I was in a bit of a daze so I couldn't really process what she'd said til later. Very rude and inappropriate. read more

Great service - easy in and out - cares about community ;) maybe need a trivia night???

The pizza is great, but the combination of being unable to provide custom orders along with most DoorDash orders being wrong in some capacity is astounding. When I order a Prosciutto Arugula Pizza , it came in pieces - the arugula and lemon dressing came in separate containers, which was fine, but not as advertised and too, not the experience delivered in store. The most recent time I bought it they forgot the lemon dressing and arugula entirely. You people are incredible but it seems like a 50/50 shot whether or not I get the actual experience I wanted when in store. The ambiance is incredible, though, and when outdoor seating is available, it's really nice and beautifully lit, but I would never recommend ordering anything from here, because - while a valid thing to behind in, it seems they're not really ready for the whole DoorDash business that's boomed in recency. read more

Great pizza and great service. A must visit Dayton staple. Order the Angry Beekeeper

Great staff, and great pizza. The atmosphere was upbeat and the service was fast. Would definitely recommend the place!

Found this gem by pure luck, and I'm so glad I did. I was so hungry, I ordered online and drove straight there even though it said it would be about 25min, I arrived and talked to an employee who told me to take a seat and my order would be brought to me in a few mins. It was about 10mins earlier than estimated! I ordered an Angry Beekeeper pizza and it was so good! The balance of the spicy salami with the hot honey, the perfectly charred neapolitan style crust, the fresh mozzarella, it was just fantastic! I'll definitely go back next time i'm in town! read more

Let me start this review by saying damn you Old Scratch Pizza. You are going to cause me so much work as I have to go back through every pizza review I have ever done and drop them all by one point. I am currently eating here for the 4th day in a row and I am sampling my 6th different pizza. Every single one was off the hook. I am eating things I would never consider at other venues and I am loving them. I am begging you to open up a location. In iowa. Please!!! Craft beer selection is on point and the service is incredible. Thank you!!!! read more

While visiting in the area, the nieces and nephews chose to go to old scratch. I didn't care for the pizza so much as the others did. To me, all I could taste was charcoal. Not exactly what I want my pizza to taste like. Would I eat here again? Probably not, but we did have a great time. read more

very good pizza. The system of the restaurant is very strange and service is 50/50. But the food is almost always great

Environment is great really welcoming. Food is astounding! Try the pizza with basil huge game changer! Service was great. Bathrooms clean. Little to no smell. Great place great environment. read more

My sister and I went to Old Scratch before taking an art class. We weren't exactly in a hurry but we weren't looking for a long dining experience. Ordering is easy--no frills--and the person who took our order was lovely. Service was quick so this would be a great lunch spot if you like fresh food but have limited time. We shared a half Caesar salad (perfect for 2) and 2 pizzas. (We could have shared one, but now we have leftovers!) Both pies were crispy, hot, and flavorful. Loved it and we will be back. *Note: we observed several curbside pickup orders and they seemed quick and efficient, too. read more

Arrived at a busy time, lunch on UD parents weekend. About 8 groups ahead of us, waited 20 to place order at counter-you have to order then get seated. But all worked out. Pizza is great, but this time a little off (maybe because of being rushed) beekepper had too much basil, bacon chicken was drenched in ranch. All good tho, still my fav UD spot. read more

Old Scratch is a casual pizza joint with a small menu and friendly, fast service. Their pizzas are thin crust with robust, flavorful sauces and fresh mozzarella. We ordered the prosciutto arugula pizza and the Mr. Scratch pizza with Italian sausage and basil. The arugula was lightly dressed in olive oil and Parmesan cheese which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, this is solid pizza place that we would visit for lunch on a weekday again. read more
