    Garlic knots
    Juli K.

    My kid is in college in Athens. We decided to drive up to try this pizza (and garlic knots!) after seeing this place on Instagram. It was totally worth the 3-hour round trip. The selection of specialty pizzas with dog pun names was amusing. We got the Three Little Pugs pizza, which had bacon, ham and sausage, along with artful dollops of ricotta cheese to cool down the spice from the hot garlic chili crunch oil. The garlic knots were big, fluffy and super garlicky and better even than the hype. We got some of their Tyrannodog Sauce (A house-made, dragon's breath chili pepper spicy ranch dressing) and dipped the knots into it. It was so good, we left with a bottle of it. It's spicy and garlicky in all the best ways. Staff was friendly and helpful. Be aware, there is ONE TABLE inside and a few outside the shop. It's mostly a to-go spot, but it's totally worth it. Absolutely amazing.

    Black Dog Pizzeria has gotten buzz for their pizza, particularly the garlic knots. We got food to go, a large veggie pizza and order of garlic knots. Thoroughly enjoyed both. They serve pizza both New York and CBUS style. Got the latter. Cannot comment about the ambiance of the place. Presentation: 9/10. Pizza looks visually appealing, and cheese isn't burnt or underbaked. Enough veggies. Taste: 10/10. Every bite was great. The garlic knots were as advertised Overall, would get it again. It's close to where my in-laws live whenever we return to CBUS.

    Ordered delivery. Came early. Driver very nice. Order was correct. Food was really good.

    16" New York Style with pepperoni, black olives & banana peppers.

    Had Black Dog Pizza last night for the first time. Have to say we were pretty happy w/our experience. We got a 16" w/pepperoni, black olives & banana peppers & the distribution was well done. Sauce was good, not wowing; crust was not a thin but a "Medium " thickness. Baked well. The garlic knots were very good, but not as good as I thought they would be. Still, worth the price. There WAS a wait after the time they quoted me, but not much. Not bad overall. I would definitely go back & WOULD recommend it.

    Had to try the monthly special the Newfoundland which was good! The chip was our favorite with a bit of heat and I could go on and on about the garlic knots YUM!

    One Of the Most conflicting reviews, I have ever had to do. And it is frustrating because, This business has such a high-quality product and high-quality people, But the hours can confuse that average pizza connoisseur, Want a pizza on your lunch break at noon? Forget about. How but a bunch of pizzas, For that Sunday kick off game, or a Saturday Buckeye Game day Tailgate. These hours make that impossible. There are missing out of the main segments of business, for there amazing product. It took me 5 times just to try this, because of the hours, but is that why the staff is so nice? These people give exceptional service, but they are not a threat to anyone except around dinner time. Improve the hours keep the service, and you'll be able to have multiple locations and no problem unless they want to keep it it's a small I'm not sure what the goal is but thanks for a great product

    If you're a fan of specialty pizzas, which I am a super fan, the this place is a must try. Really loved everything. The black dog really delivered on the doubling of pepperoni! The pesto and burrata combo on man's pesto friend was excellent. Sometimes both of those things on pizza can be bland but it was seasoned very well. And the alohound was the big surprise. Not Hawaiian pizza fans in my house AT ALL, so was very surprised when my husband wanted to try. They over delivered on the meat which cut through the sweetness of the pineapple well and the addition of cinnamon broke my brain in the best way. My only minor complaint is that the crust was a little on the chewier side. Will definitely try again though. We ordered takeout and everything was delivered on time and as expected. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!

    Bark-B-Q Chicken Pizza & Buffalo Chicken Dip
    Ebenezer B.

    Black Dogs' is hands down my favorite pizza spot. Not only is the ambiance and service great, but the food is amazing ! Plus, what other pizza spot is offering buffalo chicken dip ?? My go to pizza is their Bark-BQ pizza. It's topped with chicken, jalapeños and mozzarella cheese and drizzled with bbq sauce, cooked to perfection! The shop is dope as well! 9.2/10

    Since I live an hour west of Columbus, I don't get a chance to visit many of the newer places I'd like to try...that being said Black Dog has been on my list for awhile and finally had a chance to carryout these amazing garlic knots i've been hearing about! Totally worth the hype and the pizza was just as good! Definitely one of the best pizzas I've had in a longgg time! Definitely looking forward to trying some other pizzas from here!

    Got takeout so I'm unable to evaluate the bathroom, but I'm sure it's nice. This pizzeria caught my eye due to some dedicated foodies on the FB page and one of the owners sharing pictures of their delicious pies. I gotta say, I was not disappointed. The pizza has that classic crispy texture of NY style pizzas without being overly cracker-ish that I see in these more tavern style pies. I really liked the sauce and they were very generous with the peps. The price seems about average but that's a plus since I think the food has quality. The staff are lovely humans and even address by name at the counter. I really liked the ambiance Overall. Overall i'd give it a 3.8/5, Im excited to go back and try some of their other styles!!

    This is our favorite pizza in Columbus! The garlic knots are next level! We got two orders tonight! The service is always fantastic! Such a cute shop too!!

    I was sad to hear they were closed for 5 months due to a fire. Now that they are reopened, we decided to order some pizza for delivery. When ordering online, it will redirect you to the "Slice" app, which is relatively easy to use/place your order. It gives you an ETA but it's not 100% accurate. Our order ended up being delivered even though the app still said they were "prepping it". Even though it got delivered sooner than expected, the food was not hot when it got here, more like warm. We love their Cujo, NY style pizza. The flavors are great - pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, topped with hot honey! I also decided to try their cheesy pesto sticks. I was a little disappointed when I didn't see a sauce since the menu stated it came with a side of pizza sauce. I'm not sure if they forgot to pack it in my order but my palate was really searching for it while I was eating the sticks. Without the sauce, the cheese sticks are good, with a mild pesto flavor, but they are very dry. They have a good crunch to them though!

Well, I would have to agree with you except that 1) he kept talking about his ex (they broke up 8 years ago and she's married in Washington DC) and 2) he said that he will never date a girl who does Pilates. She has to only lift heavy. (Help. That is insane, but it only gets worse). 3) I later learn that he wants a biker chick with tattoos (he has no tatoos and no bike). So essentially, this chiropractor, who didn't even initiate the sharing of his name, is describing a man. HES DESCRIBING A MAN. Also, he kept making fart jokes and actually farting. AND, I learned later, that he lets his looks "do the talking," excuse me? You're almost 30 and just described someone's dad as your dream woman. Anyway, my dad ate my leftovers which was essentially the entire bowl bc I had a very small appetite during this "date," I hope you can understand why. He said it was delicious.

    I stopped by here a couple nights ago with one of my coworkers while on an out-of-town work trip…read more Despite being a Monday, the place was actually pretty busy. Regardless, we were seated right away. We were given a spot at a high top inside but adjacent to the open windows for some fresh evening air and a nice cooling breeze. Unfortunately, service throughout the night was a little spotty. The first round of drinks took a while to come out, the app went missing, our server (who seemed slightly less than enthused all night) took the liberty of snagging an extra one for us, and then our entrees came out right at the same time. I started with the sunrise mojito. Being a bit of a rum snob, I am particularly picky when it comes to rum-based drinks and this one did not disappoint. Probably one of the best takes on a mojito I've had in quite a while. I eventually followed that up with the peach bourbon smash, which was also tasty but pretty heavy on the peach and less on the bourbon. To get started on food, we ordered the street corn nachos. Now, I do love street corn, but something about corn on top of nachos on paper doesn't exactly sound like my personal first choice. However, since my coworker was putting the food on his company card, he went that route. Man, what a mistake I made in my assumption. Absolutely amazing. Gooey cheese, excellent flavors, and not too much to fill you up. My coworker got the shrimp capellini, which looked excellent and he agreed it was solid. I opted for the crispy chicken sandwich (a gochujang aioli? Come on). The sandwich was delicious. The chicken was indeed crispy but also quite juicy. The fries were also delicious being slightly soft, slightly crisp, and not too salty. All in all, a couple service hiccups aside, this was a really fantastic place. I definitely will be sure to make my way back here if I find myself on another work trip for sure!

EVERYTHING on the plate worked together very well! Could have put shit on a shingle over that plate and it would have been delicious. After waiting a bit for flash to drop the check, I realized it was in a bar glass in front of me. Nice to see my Mich Ultra was only $3!

Our server was also very nice and checked in on us regularly. All in all, a really solid experience. The menu had lots of delicious sounding burgers and salads, not to mention a good assortment of mocktails. Definitely a place I would come back to next time I'm in town!

My friends enjoyed a side of their fresh pita bread, and went back up to get a side of hummus which they gave us for free!!! One of my friends said, I quote "I could eat this every day!!!" And the other wasn't a huge fan, but said it was alright! I am somewhere in the middle, but this is coming from someone who originally was craving a carrot, celery, tomato, bacon, broccoli, type salad, and NOT someone who is big on Greek. Definitely give this place a try! They do not skimp on portions and it was an inexpensive lunch for 3 ($34)!!!
