"A Franklinton fixture since 1959, this spot still uses the original hulking brick ovens to produce crisp, square-cut pies with a chewy crust, slow-simmered sauce and provolone that melts into the edges. Pepperoni is placed under the cheese so its flavor seeps into the sauce, and virtually everything is handmade—from dough proofed for days to sausage ground in-house—creating a loyal clientele that even hosts milestone events like wedding receptions on-site." - Wendy Pramik
