We drove by Werkhaus Pizza and thought, "Hmm, we should check this place out sometime". I looked it up on Yelp, learned they offered deep dish pizza, and we made plans to check it out. We arrived during the week just as they opened. The restaurant was empty with one other couple coming in before we left. The place has a decidedly Italian vibe. The server was sweet. In an effort to recreate our favorite deep dish pizza from California from Zachary's, we ordered a pizza with spinach and mushrooms. The pizza was pretty tasty. It has a good mix of fillings and the crust was not bad. It didn't compare to Zachary's, but in our search for deep dish pizza in Cincinnati, a search that's still underway, Werkhaus was OK. It's close so we'd come back, but we still have some exploring to do. read more

The deep dish pizza is the best in Cincinnati. The sauce is sweet with a great amount of cheese.

My family had an excellent dinner at Werkhaus! We arrived right as it was opening on Sunday and there was already a line forming at the door. We were seated easily, but it was clear this place is an institution! My husband loves pizza and said this is one of the best Chicago pizzas in our area. I also couldn't believe how quickly they got it out to us. I thought it was okay, but I'm not a pizza connoisseur! Our kiddos loved making their own pizzas. They had one cheese and one pepperoni, and both had leftovers. I really liked their pizza (a thinner, traditional crust). read more

The service. Is always and I've had their pizzas and their steak hoagies. Their pizzas when you ask for extra cheese. You get extra cheese and it's bubbling. When it comes to the table, my sister-in-law and I love it. read more

Been here several times after my review and but tried new things on their menu this time. Never had the pickle pizza and I have to say it was fantastic. My wife liked it and she is the type that sticks with what she likes and she said she would eat this again. My wife got the flat bread pizza which is new. She liked the thin crust but thought it was a bit dry. I don't know if it was just this time or if they make it that way but needed a little more sauce. I had the stuff pizza. I really enjoyed it. I don't know if I would get a large pizza but the small was filling enough. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our lunch at Werkhaus! Walking inside made me feel nostalgic for the classic pizza places I used to go to when I was a kid - the atmosphere was cozy. We got a 9" deep dish pepperoni pizza and it was super delicious and filling. Our server Makayla was really nice and took great care of us (along with at least 5 other tables). A great place to stop for deep dish outside of Chicago! read more

Werkhaus Pizza - 9" deep dish pepperoni pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I used to stop by here regularly when I lived in the area but this was my first visit in several years. Unfortunately it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. We called in and stood around for a few minutes trying to figure out if someone is supposed to approach us for seating or if we had to go to the counter. After awkwardly lingering for a bit I managed to catch someone who added us to a waiting list. The wait itself wasn't bad considering how busy it was. Our table ordered 2 salads, a pizza hoagie with chips, lasagna fettuccini Alfredo. We also asked about the PB&J special which the server said was a dessert. I said we would like to order one and they said they'd put it in shortly after bringing out our food. Then the waiting began. It took quite a long time to get our salads and sadly they forgot one of them. The rest of the food was also a fairly long wait and ended up being a mixed bag. The lasagna was great, the fettuccini Alfredo was bland and hoagie was awful. They also forgot the chips that I ordered with the hoagie. A while after finishing the meals our server approached and asked if we'd like to dessert or if we were ready for the bill. I reminded them that we ordered the PB&J and they said it was being worked on. After another 15-30 minute wait our Pb&J was brought out in a to-go box. We ate it there all of us were underwhelmed. It was just fine. Basically warm dough with some Skippy and Smuckers. We had ordered some dessert to take home before we were seated since they were running low and they were nice enough to keep it in the refrigerator while we ate. Unfortunately we didn't notice until we got home that they gave us the wrong thing. Sadly, I don't think any of us will be returning anytime soon. read more

The staff is wonderful, suggestive, and the portions are huge. That said, it's a once in a while kind of pizza place, as it is deep dish pizza, and it's a lot to eat. Great for 4 or more people, I definitely wouldn't take this on by myself. read more

Great deep dish pizza, regular pizza and low carb meals. Side salad is pricey. Soups are not your typical soups. read more

They did it again! I usually order their killer Chicago style pizza, but not tonight. Tonight I got the spaghetti carbonara. Like the pizza, it was awesome! For dessert, we had the made in house peanut butter pie! Service is always great. Always plenty of parking. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

Nice selection of menu items. Food always tastes great! Can dine in or carry out and food quality is equally good!

Got takeout, it was ready a little early. My pizza was amazing!!! I got the stuffed pizza (chicago deep dish style) and got the classic chicago one and it was so delicious! I will definitely be back! The inside was small and cute, too! Old time italian restaurant vibes. read more

It was our first time at Werkhaus Pizza! We went early evening on a weekday, almost had the place to ourselves, service was wonderful!

Werkhaus pizza is one of the top five pizzas in Cincinnati. The price is reasonable for what you get in size and quality.

I have eaten many times at werkhaus, I just picked up a large and a medium stuffed pizza spent $40 and the food was terrible cold with no taste. Hardly any pizza sauce and very little pepperoni will never visit again horrible read more

This was our second time eating here. Being from NY and having had Chicago style deep dish pizza we are in love with Werkhaus Pizza! We tried the spinach/mushroom deep dish and their garlic bread this time and both were outstanding! Their sauce is absolutely delicious, the crust is amazing, the spinach, mushrooms and cheese make this our fav! read more

The crust was good with an abundance of toppings. I really liked the deep dish and it tasted just as good as warmed up

Delicioso deep dish pizza. They also serve up a mean traditional style. Interior decor is quaint and a must-try restaurant read more

Werkhaus Pizza - Chicago Classic - Pizza Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This place was truly a home town pizza joint! We went at 7:30 pm on a Friday night and got seated immediately! The wait staff was kind and attentive. I ordered a build your own pizza- each topping was $1 which didn't really make it an affordable option... but I know what I like haha! The pizza was good- had more cheese than I typically like, and a very pan fried crust- which isn't my first choice- but I know it's preferred by many! The cheese garlic bread was good- but light and crispy- not the typical dense kind I expected. Overall, very good, give them a shot! read more

Werkhaus is definitely not the same pizza it was a couple years ago. My family all agree they have changed there recipe,gotten smaller and less toppings. I don't know if the family that owned it sold it or what but the quality is just not there. The service is not the same, I called and ordered 2 hours before I was to pick it up and got there at the time I told them and still had to wait 12 minute. My family has tried and tried hoping it will get better but this was our last try. read more

We went here after our neighbor mentioned them and then we saw a review in the paper. The place was packed the night we went but the servers were on top of things. Service was attentive. We shared a Caesar salad. The dressing was house made but the large salad was probably more than the two of us needed. We tried an original cheese pizza and a Chicago Classic. We did this both so we could have left overs and so we could compare the two types of pizza. We found the sauce on the Chicago pizza very full of tomato flavor but otherwise a bit bland. The Cheese pizza was more to our liking. My husband could not resist taking a piece of their cheese cake home. It was quite good, with nice lemon flavor. Except for some of the chocolate deserts, they make all of their cakes. We will go back and probably, in the future, also do take out as well. read more

Everything'. We love their pizza! The tuna salad is delicious! Also the chicken salad. Service is excellent!

At a fifth of a mile away, this is the closest restaurant to our home -- what a privilege that is! In this charming establishment that seems like an actual house remodeled into an Italian place, top-quality deep dish Chicago pizzas are offered, with Carbonara and Fettuccine Alfredo dishes that use egg-free substitutes, as well. My "regular" meal would be a small Chicago Classic, a small order of bread sticks and a Pepsi Zero. read more

We are Werkhaus fans. It's a cozy neighborhood gem with good food and good service. All the italian you expect with great pizza and other dishes. Great for the 2 of us or family. read more

Downgrading my review to three stars. Unfortunately, Werkhaus has gone from good to average. Everything just is not as good as it once was. Service is no longer welcoming to all. Servers seem to spend their time talking to regulars. In doing so, they do not notice when other tables need assistance. I can see how this is a draw to regulars, but it does not make those who patronize the establishment less often feel welcome, or that their business is appreciated. Food is less full, and more sloppy. Toppings are not as plentiful. On top of everything else, the food was fairly bland. When the ingredients/toppings themselves are flavorful, I can understand using less seasonings. When those ingredients/toppings are bland, additional seasonings are needed. On no-chain establishments, I try not to downgrade my reviews, but in yhis case, all of these problems just added up. read more

Very good food and service. Always something different on the menu daily, soups are delicious. The pizza is tasty in the deep dish is phenomenal. Also have a nice beer selection. read more

I love their "stuffed" deep dish pizza, honestly the best pizza I've ever had. Highly recommend.

It's the best Chicago-style pizza available in Cincinnati. The atmosphere is homey, the staff is friendly, the place is hopping every night of the week and they do a stiff take-out business. My new number-one choice for pizza! I am looking forward to trying more menu items as well. read more

We got the stuffed pizzas, just a cheese and a pepperoni to try the basics. The food was great and staff was attentive. Would recommend and eat again if visiting from Kentucky. read more
