Our friends are regulars here. We pop in with them here and there. It's always good. Always busy. They have a nice variety of options. The pepperoni pizza is so good. Thin crust. Crispy. The good little pepperonis that curl up. The donors sub is delicious as well. It's your classic Italian sub. The pork nachos are delicious as well. Don't forget to try the meatballs. read more

Cardo's Pizza & Tavern - Pizza Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Judging by the foot traffic coming and going from this festival place, it's a regular place for a lot of people! I found this on google when i put in find gluten free near me. I was delighted to find a lot of options! Keep in mind there may be cross contamination so take it as you will. I ordered the Italian sub on gluten free and it was so very close to a normal sandwich I was very excited! I also ordered a gluten free pizza and found it great! The big restaurant held a lot of people and was pretty comfortable. read more

Cardo's Pizza & Tavern - Double ? Sausage. Nope - Pizza Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

The staff is nice the bartenders are nice we always have a great time when we dine at Cardo's!

Had a chance to check this place out today on a suggestion. I have to say it was a good call. It being a hot Sunday, I expected most people to be outdoors and not packing the restaurant, and I was right. Still, there was a fair amount of people there. We were told to sit wherever we liked. Service was quick, pleasant, and she made a great recommendation, convincing me to try the fries until my pizza order came. They didn't take long either. Nice and hot, crispy and flavorful, without too much salt. Just as we were finishing the basket, our order arrived. Cardo's Special: Sausage, Pepperoni, Green Peppers, Onions and Mushrooms (which I had removed). As usual, I took a piece of sausage off to try separately and it was delicious! Packed full of juice and flavor, just the right amount of seasoning and a great texture, resulting in a greater chew. The entire ensemble was put together well, temperature hot, just the way I like it. This is why I prefer to dine in. The dough foundation was nice and firm with the right amount of crunch, balancing it out perfectly. There are pizza places I visit and then there pizza places I would visit AGAIN. This one is definitely the latter. Give them a try. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. read more

Great Service, Pizza was good but Skimpy on pizza toppings, $9 salad was pathetic, probably a 1/4 head of lettuce in it , sub was weak, price points are exorbitant ,you got me once never again ,one and done at this place , at least 20 better options in and around Columbus, GOODBYE read more

Excellent quality and service. The pizzas were so good we came back less than a week later for more. I do wish the onions were sliced thinner for the sub lol but that's just personal preference. We really loved the entertainment as well on a Thursday there was a great acoustic singer who started with Tom Petty . He was wonderful. Truly enjoyed it. read more

DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS!! My brother recommended and we decided to try it out. The pizza is phenomenal. It came to the table piping hot and two 14 inch pizzas were more than enough for four adults. On top of the amazing food, the price is more than reasonable and the customer service is top notch. Will definitely be returning. read more

First time having their pizza. We did a carryout. We was hoping it was like the Cardo's pizza on Lockbourne...NOPE! Definitely not even close. My husband and I didn't care for it. It looked good when we opened the box but just had no good flavor. read more

Cardo's Pizza & Tavern - Pep pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

Cool atmosphere in Pickerington! I frequent this location, especially during the summer months. They often have live music out on the patio. They do have music indoors on occasion as well. Started with a salad and finished with a cauliflower crust pizza. The salad was good. Nothing special, I suppose I could have dressed it up and asked for extra toppings. The pizza was good, but that crust only comes in 10". There was a good amount of toppings and the crust was crisp. The Ruben is by far my favorite, good size with plenty of meat, cheese, and kraut all on the marbled rye bread! Highly recommended! Check this place out if you get a chance! read more

Cardo's is a great place to catch a game, drink some local beer and get some apps with friends or family. Their pretzel bites with the beer cheese are fantastic! Their pizza is delicious, too, and definitely offers lots of customization! They have a PourMyBeer system that offers a great selection of local craft beers which you can pour & pay by the ounce. You get a PourMyBeer card which connects to your credit card and you always see exactly how much you are pouring (spending) in a real-time, super fun experience of being your own bartender! read more

Short and sweet review...... The pizza is on point in every way. The pep n cheese is incredible and the meat lovers is equally great. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu. Can't wait to catch a game in the bar area and enjoy a draft beer with one of their appetizers. Great pizza for sure read more

This is our local spot. The pizza is really good and the food is good. If it's your first time, you have no choice to make the best boneless wings in Cardos sauce. I'm telling you do not order anything u til you have this!!! Have the pretzel bites with the beer cheese. You will thank me and yourself for reading this and making the beat decision. read more

pizza was great, beer was an inch from the top and the server shorted me $10...nope, not very cool.

I'm always looking for a new spot on this side of town. It's not new but I wish we would have found it sooner. Huge restaurant and bar with a super cool patio. Lots of great food items on the menu. I loved the taco pizza. My husband had the pulled pork nachos. Delicious! We enjoy craft beer and good bourbon. They had both. The patio with choose your own taps is amazing. It's hidden in a shopping plaza by Kroger so you may pass it over. Stop in and try it. Game day hasn't started but this will be a great place to see the great game of football. Woo-dey!! read more

Great food Had the pretzel bites, hot, salty, awesome Tried the pizza, it was fantastic Great service As busy as the place was we didn't have to wait for our order, more napkins, drink refills Great entertainment The night I was there, Fox Pause was playing and they were a joy to watch. The music was not overly loud, allowing us to enjoy it as well as talk Fair price For everything Plenty of parking and room read more

We stopped in to Cardo's on a Wednesday evening for the first time. I like that it has a bar side and a more casual side for families or being able to have a private conversation. We had our young daughter with us and it's very kid friendly. They had live music that was very good! Our server Byron was very attentive and friendly! Food is good prices are also good overall! We had the Mac n cheese bites and a pizza and a grilled cheese for the baby! All items were good and we finished all of them! Sometimes bars/pubs in strip malls are hit or miss but this was surprisingly nice and enjoyable! Good mix of channels on the Tv's from sports to news (as a news junky I like that). Thanks for the nice night my family and I will return! read more

My stepson always raves about Cardo's so I thought that we would check it out. I placed a phone order for takeout and the order was hot and ready within twenty minutes! Yes! The pickup was quick and efficient too! I pulled up curbside, a server asked for my name, and then delivered the food to the passenger seat of my car. The food was still hot when I got home. We had the Cardo's Special Pizza, the spicy garlic chicken wings, and the cheesy garlic bread. The pizza was pretty good! The special pizza is topped with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. I really liked the fresh toppings on top. They had great flavor and were nice and crunchy. We weren't big fans of the crust. It seems that the crust may be pre-packaged dough. The spicy garlic wings were really good. They were hot and crispy. The cheesy garlic bread had a nice, garlicky flavor; however, was a little too chewy for me. Overall, we had a great experience at Cardo's and enjoyed the food we had! read more

Love there food unfortunately to keep it affordable they don't put on enough tomatoes lol

I purchase a pickup order here with some frequency so tonight's experience was quite surprising. The food here is very good but I gave it a two star based on the managers/owner(?) attitude. When picking up my carry out order, I asked the young ladies at the register if they sell bottle beer for carry out. A gentleman at the end of the bar (owner/manager?) said yes. I asked for a certain craft beer and he said no, When I asked for another type of craft beer he stated no and the told me they had no craft beers in bottles ( in a very snippy tone). I then asked the ladies at the register what local beers that they do have in bottles. They said they didn't know. I asked for a couple local brands and the gentlemen went off in a huff to get them as if he was being put out selling something to a customer. I made a comment to the ladies behind the register that their manager seemed a little p*ssy. They said he was tired....still no way to treat a customer read more

I called in for a take out. The lady that took my ordee was very friendly and made sure she took my order properly. I ordered two pies one cordo and one pep pie pizza. I also order some mild wings. The pizza is thin and it gives you a taste that reminds you of eating donatos pizza. I asked for extra sauce but I would still say the pizza was to dry. I enjoy my pizza to be saucy. The wings there fried then covered in sauce. It was just okay. Over all it was just okay pizza. read more

I give the bar 5 stars... we thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar having a drink while waiting on our pizza to go... the bartender was friendly and attentive! She made good suggestions!!! Originally I give the pizza I ordered 2 or 3 stars....but then we had a second try... with the interactions of the owner, a much better tasting pizza, and a fabulous time at the bar, we give Cardo's Pizza and Tavern 5 stars all around! read more

This is my second time eating here. The first wasn't particularly memorable, but this time was much better. The buckeye pretzel bites with beer cheese were amazing!! Highly recommend those even though they are a bit pricey. The pepperoni pizza had a nice crispy crust, but could have used more pizza sauce on it. The cauliflower crust pizza with mushrooms was cooked to perfection!! It can definitely be challenging not to burn a cauliflower crust, but Cardo's knew exactly how to cook it properly. Definitely recommend the cauliflower crust if you are trying to keep it healthier. read more

My family and I tried Cardo's for the first time and were seriously impressed. Servers were extremely friendly and helped each other, pizza was terrific, wings were cooked to perfection and the pulled pork was delicious, not to mention the funnel cake sticks...yum! We will definitely be back. read more

Was on the hunt for something close(ish) to the hotel and yelped out this place. Was super busy and a little chaotic with large parties, but didn't have to wait to be seated. Started off with a garden salad which was pretty basic, nothing spectacular but I was so hungry I didn't leave a piece of lettuce on the plate. Ended with a 10" veggie pizza. Pizza came out quick which was perfect, was a little bland and in my opinion needed more sauce. However, it was cooked perfectly. Server was good and the service was quick. read more

Cardio's was decent although I'm not a fan of the mega Jumbotron sports all day every day atmosphere. I would probably return for a carry out moment. The service was awesome, and our server was very attentive. The pizza was a bit bland somehow. I want to say it was the crust. I like a thin crust but it just had zero flavor at all. read more

Best pizza in town. I highly recommend the cauliflower crust pizza with sausage, pepperoni and onion, well done. Good food. GREAT crowd. Best patio in Columbus. read more

Love this place. Good food, pizza is always consistent in presentation and tastefulness, the staff is great and the place is always fun!

Visited this local establishment last evening. Was told to just have a seat anywhere. I understand businesses are hurting for employees. However waited 25 minutes and not one employee even made a point to even recognize we were there. They seemed to be taking care of their "regulars" however. We all got up and just left . We will not be returning. read more

Got to visit Cardo's a few weeks ago and had so much fun, their pizza is awesome as is the rest of their food. We got some boneless wings in Cardo's sauce and they were to die for! The atmosphere is great too, perfect place to catch a game in the bar area and enjoy a draft beer with one of their appetizers. Their PourMyBeer system offers a great selection of local craft beers and the best part is you serve yourself, you can pour as little or as much as you want! We were able to sample a few things before committing to a full glass. Highly recommend, will definitely be coming back myself. read more

The pizza was good but your wings are soggy and nasty like my stomach hurts so bad... FUCK CARDO'S

So stopped in here after leaving the gym to grab some pizzas to take out for the family. When I entered they had live music and an atmosphere that seemed to be fun. The girls at the check out were very nice. I got a pepperoni and a pepperoni, peppers and sausage, both pizza were excellent. Crust was thin and crispy, cheese, pepperonis and other toppings were delish. The constructive criticism would be a smidge more sauce. This was my first time here and chances are I'll probably go back to dine in. read more

Yeah Man- this place knocked it well out of the park! Did you know they had the best pizza? The crust is thin, firm and crispy with plenty of flavor. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness. The toppings are finely sliced and generously applied. It was so good. The wings were large and tasted great. They have a full bar with a good house red. The beers are perfectly poured and are at 33 degrees F. The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. Apparently they have live acoustic music and trivia etc. throughout the week. They have an awesome back patio as bug as the restaurant itself. This place is a real gem! I wish i lived nearby. WTG Cardos Tavern! read more
