Please come to this restaurant if you are in the Cincinnati area!…read more First, I wish to state that I am not from Ohio and that this is my first time eating at Two Cities, but this restaurant might be my favorite pizza shop going forward. Second, I only had two of the items on the menu but so many of the other options on the menu looked amazing as well. This Two Cities was built inside the old city hall of Mason, with Mason being a cozy little town in of itself. The restaurant smells amazing upon entering, course it would because they cook their food fresh. It's even got a little ramp that leads down to the main seating area for mobility impaired persons. My first minor issue with this Two Cities was that the booth I was sitting at was slightly raised by a literal step, which nearly made me trip while exiting the booth because I hardly noticed getting into the booth due to my height (6'3 at the time of writing review). There are other booths though that are not raised, so an opinion is to be based of where you are seated. My waitress was really kind and offered a helpful opinion when I was deciding on which pizza to get after being seated by a host. The waitress also allowed me to put in my order all at once (drink, appetizer, and entree). The appetizer (garlic parmesan fries) arrived fast and were undoubtedly scrumptious; the fries were a near perfect mix of crunchy and soft with the shredded parmesan and minced garlic adding extra flavor. Their ranch is also superb. I got the 13" Rhythm Road Pizza (which I shared with someone. I could not eat half of a deep dish pizza alone) and it was something else. Most importantly, it had MASHED POTATO on it instead of a traditional pizza sauce and notably, chipotle aioli drizzled on top (there are more toppings, of course, but they're more normal toppings). Unfortunately, the pizza slices were unevenly sliced, leading to inconsistent slice size and the toppings slide off the pizza easily when scooped up with the provided pizza spatula, all minot grievances of course. The only true complaint I had with this Two Cities was that my waitress did not actively seek out to refill my glass when it was empty. I will say that my drink was not close to the edge for her to see, but it was within view from any view of the table. There were a relatively high number of customers in the restaurant for the time I was there (about an hour before closing), so I don't hold it against her for not noticing. The cups were average size, so I wasn't exactly dying of thirst while dining. The music inside was of good taste and was at a very respectable volume. The other patrons were also well mannered and I had no need to raise my voice to speak to my dining buddy. The final thing I wish to add to this review is how nice the bathroom was. They were very clean, had two urinals (short and tall), one wheelchair accessible stall, nice smelling soap, a simple water control handle, a foot doorhandle, and MOUTHWASH. This is only public building I have ever been in that has offered complementary mouthwash, let alone a bathroom. This could be an Ohio or Midwest exclusive thing, but I enjoyed using the mouthwash nonetheless.

Main Street, Mason, Ohio Day two of the great Ohio Collegiate travel expedition, and the Mrs. found a new pizza joint to try. We fired up the GPS and headed south to Mason, Ohio. Now, when I think of Mason, I usually think of big fancy houses, snooty HOAs, and Kings Island. But driving in? It totally gave me Washington C.H. vibes. Nice ranch-style homes, some with the neighbor's car chilling on blocks in the yard. Honestly? It was refreshing. Looks like they have all classes of people coexisting. It was comfortable, zero pretentiousness, and normal. Passed the vibe check, no cap. Let's talk about Two Cities Pizza Co. The concept is genius: Two friends wanted to spark the great pizza debate (New York Style vs. Chicago Deep Dish) under one roof. Why fight when you can just eat both? A true bipartisan solution this country desperately needs. The Vibe: They took over the Historic City Hall building downtown and it's incredible. Tons of character. They have plenty of outdoor seating--you know, for the psychopaths who enjoy eating outside during the 7 minutes in Ohio when it's not 100 degrees with 200% humidity or 32 below zero. But hey, if sweating in your pepperoni is your thing, it's there. Inside, the decor is on point, with air conditioning. They've got a wall that looks like the Wrigley Field ivy, subway-themed restrooms complete with the overhead transit handles (DO NOT TOUCH THE HANDLES ), and even fake pigeons up in the rafters. It's definitely giving main character energy. Great tunes playing too--Billy Joel, Chicago. Huge booths. Friendly staff. Shout out to Ivy. The Menu & The Grub: Cold beer and pizza. Name a better duo. I'll wait. They have everything: wings, calzones, and NY specialty pizzas with... mashed potatoes? Wait, what? They also offer cauliflower crust and non-dairy cheese for our friends who can't handle lactose. Here's what we shoveled down: Bootleg Bread: Basic cheesy bread but baked with garlic and herbs. The crust was great, and the cheese was thick and substantial. Very good! Perfect seasoning. NY Style Pepperoni: Delicious, exactly what you expect. A reliable classic. #Boring Bull and Bear Calzone: Stuffed with pepperoni, bacon, mozzarella, parm, and garlic. The crust was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spot on. BUT here's the controversy... It came with their self-proclaimed "Famous Ranch Dressing." Look, I know people will fight literal wars over ranch in the Midwest, but I wasn't a fan. It had a strong Worcestershire vibe to it. A little too aggressive for my taste. Good for some, not for me. (The chunky "red sauce" was absolutely awesome, though!) The Plot Twist: A very nice surprise--they brought us a totally FREE order of New York Funnel Cake Donuts. Didn't ask, didn't pay. Maybe because it was our first visit? Or maybe they just respect the bald head. Either way, fried, tossed in cinnamon and powdered sugar, they tasted exactly like the county fair. Absolutely bussin'. Ask for them by name! The BaldWhiteGuy Rating: ‍‍‍‍: 4 out of 5 Bald Heads. Lost one head because I was severely disappointed in the "Famous Ranch". But heck if you like it, you can purchase a bottle. I will be making another trip to try out the Chicago Style Pizza. If you're near Kings Island, it's worth a stop. Great prices, great food. Tell them the Bald Guy sent you!

I used to come here for their buffalo soldier pizza. Our service was slow to start but eventually was better towards the end. We tried their wings and potato skins for apps. The wings had sort of a funky taste to them not sure why. They were cooked well and had a nice crisp though. I used to come here all the time and it has been probably been 2 years since I've been. The Italian margarita was great still and they seemed to be busy. I would come back to try a different pizza.

We ordered a Sicilian pep (which actually serves probably closer to two people, not three) and a Mr. Brown. The Mr. Brown had great mushroom flavor, but I couldn't appreciate any truffle at all. The cheese was also crispy rather than my preferred -- gooey/stringy. I also sampled my friend's Sicilian pizza. The crust was lacking the pillowy chew (I expected a slightly firmer foccacia texture), and instead had a harder crunch. Overall a great experience from a service standpoint but I think I'll try satisfying my future pizza cravings elsewhere

Taglio has THE BEST pizza and dessert in the area. But, they…read moreare also the best at judging people and creating an unwelcoming environment. The food alone is 5 starts: Seasonal pizza, GF Detroit Style crust...every other pizza pales in comparison. I will dream about this pizza, even though I was hungry after. More chicken needs to be added! The chocolate sorbet was exquisite. No notes. Was not offered to add candied almond or hot honey, it didn't need it. Possibly best restaurant dessert. Lower score because I was judged harshly by my server about where I lived, them being uppity and saying, "Eww, I'd never live there." After observation it seems mostly "regulars" dine here, I must have not looked expensive enough, or behaved poorly enough. For the price, I shouldn't be leaving hungry, or ashamed. Taglio, I will forever crave this meal, and forever feel awkward about dining with you.

From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was spotless, and even the bathrooms were incredibly clean. The food was fantastic too. We ordered pizza, salad, an appetizer, and dessert, and everything came out quickly and tasted great. We were honestly shocked that the entire meal was under $50. And, we were in and out in about 45 minutes without ever feeling rushed. This was some of the best service we've had in a long time, especially while traveling. We'll absolutely be stopping here again -- this is officially our new pit stop between Tennessee and Pennsylvania!

The table heights and the relationship to the chair heights are all very strange/uncomfortable. I believe the lower round tables are adjustable, so it could be fixed on those but there is no place to sit other than the bar thats not oddly uncomfortable. 2. The process to get food and drinks is a bit back and forth. Mostly the drinks. You have to get your fountain soda from the bar, but the fountain machine is over by where you order pizza. Would make a lot more sense if the bar just sold alcohol, and the pizza place sold the fountain glasses. 3. A little short on beer selection for such a big place but what was there is good so not sure if this is a complaint or observation. It's probably just that the bar is so huge and the tap wall is just not matching the vibe. 4. My pizza was on the borderline of undercooked. I would just gather up all the pizza cooks and implement a new rule. Check the bottom of the pie. If it's as blonde as Pamela Anderson on Baywatch, stick it back in. I will be back, it's better than some places i have been, just needs a few tweaks.
