    Italian Sub
    Hay S.

    This pizza is PHENOMENAL. Italian Sub was Good. Pricing is fair for portion & quality! My first time and definitely won't be my last. We got a large meat lovers and an Italian sub. Pizza is thin and cooked perfectly, hearty amount of tasty sauce, toppings are top tier with JUICY Italian sausage, fresh LEGIT bacon crumbles & pepperoni is on a DONATOS level, with pieces of ham that are not slimy or seem to have been frozen. Plenty of toppings. The sub would be top quality if it had a flavor to the bread, maybe a garlic butter on top or even cheese and be toasted. MORAL OF STORY my family will be back & we will be telling EVERYONE about this pizzeria.

    Counter for ordering.

    Good solid pizza. Fresh and hot each time. The staff was delightful to me. Parking and maneuvering can be a bit of a pain.

    No matter what you pick you can't go wrong with Padova's! Yahya and staff know your name and order by heart! Food is always consistently amazing, out fast and always hot!!

    Large pep sausage xcheese Yummmm!

    Padovas has been consistently the best pizza I've had in Columbus. Always affordable, cooked evenly, cut all the way through, and delicious!

    You get 2 Italian sub with medium pepperoni for 17.95$

    Decent pizza if you like your sauce thick n sweet. Pepperoni not spicy just normal. The cheese itself doesn't have a deep cheese flavor. The crust is decent. The Italian subs were not as good as the Big Don from Donato. Most of the flavor is from the Italian dressing. Just ok.

    If you are a thin crust pizza lover, this is one of the best. Pepperoni was just like I want it. The kind that curls up with little grease puddles. Fantastic sauce. Absolutely fantastic. Only $13.95 for xtra large pep.

    Large pep and extra cheese please

    I used to live close now I live in reynoldsburg but I made the trip down noe Bixby and just as good as I remember I did opt for extra cheese this time YUM!!!

    So I've been doing the low carb diet for over a year now and last night I decided to have a "cheat" night. I have no regrets in choosing Padova's as my cheat meal! They have an awesome pizza recipe. The sauce has a sweetness to it and their sausage has got just the right amount of spice. I am typically not a fan of sausage on my pizza but their sausage recipe is delicious! The only reason they didn't get 5 stars was that the crust on the center pieces was not as crispy as I thought it should have been. But if crisping the center pieces means the outer pieces change texture or consistency then I would keep it as is. And as I sat in the car waiting for my husband to get the pizza... I noticed that there is a Donatos's pizzeria just 4 doors down from them. It says a lot that a mom and pop place can stay in business with a big box store only a few doors down! This is a special place and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    An order of the pizza rolls !

    Im still kind of new to the area and wanted to try a different pizza place for dinner . Read some reviews before deciding to order . I was pretty hesitant about ordering just because the reviews didn't seem that great. However, I decided to order anyways! The gentlemen at the counter when I picked up were really nice ! I ordered a medium pepperoni with an order of their pizza rolls. The pizza rolls are FRIED !!! I was happily surprised by this !! The sauce on the pizza was good! There was a good sauce, crust (thin crust), and topping ratio ! Overall a really good pizza!

We also got sat fairly quickly with a group of 6 on Wednesday, which is when they have their buy three any wood-fired pizzas for $45 deal. Will definitely go back!

We…read morespent over $80 on a to-go order that included two Gina's Gem, a big cheese pizza, and a salad. The pizza arrived cold but was still edible. Unfortunately, the Gina's Gem was nothing like what was advertised. I was expecting warm, crusty bread with a roasted cheese dip on the side so you could tear pieces of bread and dip them into the cheese. Instead, the cheese had already been spread directly onto the bread and toasted together. Because of that, the bread lost the texture you would expect--it wasn't crusty or dippable at all. It ended up soft, almost soggy, and the cheese was baked onto the bread rather than being a dip. The whole appeal of the dish was supposed to be the warm bread with the roasted cheese to dip into, and that part was completely missing. Included with the bread was a hot honey that missed the mark on being "hot" and some kind of jam. These options just made everything even more soft....which should have been impossible. The salad was actually the best part of the meal - even though it was a bit spicy. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so this was a big letdown--especially for the price. I just wish the to-go version of the dish matched how it's described, or that expectations were set correctly when ordering. Unfortunately, this experience made me lose all trust in ordering from here again. I can't believe we waited until exactly 3pm (when they opened) to order this.... At the very least the pizza should have been hot.

The food does take some time, so be ready to wait and maybe grab a drink while you hang out. The pizza was really good, but definitely on the heavier side. Wings were decent.

    You ever walk into a place and think, there's no way something special is hiding in here?…read more Yeah....That was me. An old tavern in Columbus. Dim. Historic. The kind of spot where you expect a solid beer and maybe some decent bar food. What you don't expect? One of the best Detroit-style pizzas of your life hiding behind a window in the back like some carb-based speakeasy. And when I say hidden, I mean hidden. No flashy signage. No "best pizza in town" ego. Just a quiet little window cranking out square pies that deserve a standing ovation. I ordered the classic red top -- already a bold move -- and added pesto because balance matters and I like to live a little. The result? Beyond reproach. Fresh, loaded toppings. Sauce with depth. And that crust... that beautiful Detroit crust. Crispy edges with that caramelized cheese halo, but still chewy and pillowy inside. The textural contrast is what separates amateurs from legends -- and this? This was legend-level execution. Easily top 3 Detroit-style pizzas I've had. And that's not a casual statement. If you don't understand the life-altering power of true Detroit-style pizza, I regret to inform you... you have not been living. Go find the window in the back. Trust me.
