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!

We replied we have gotten pizza here before and it has never been this over cooked! We then replied back that yes, we understand it's cooked on a conveyor belt, but the temperature to the oven is probably higher! So if you want an over baked pizza and questioning attitude then order Raymond's! After all, there are so many competitive pizza restaurants around them!

We had better service here than most "normal" sit down restaurants. And the food...not one item we have tried was bad, the vast majority have been the best in their category. Best mozzarella sticks: it's obvious it's a higher quality mozz than whatever everyone else uses. Crispy perfection! Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times. This has been the ONLY cannoli in the greater Cincy area that is worth consuming, IMO. All in all, we would dine in at Il Gusto constantly, if we lived closer. Glad they're on DoorDash though! If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

Yesterday we tried the Corner deli and we had a great experience. Tony was friendly and patient as we asked many questions. :). Very nice guy who knows how to make a very flavorful pizza. PLUS, They sell by the slice!! This was awesome for me because my family all likes a different topping setup. Due to this we almost always just get cheese pizza which we have grown to love and a good cheese pizza can be amazing but toppings are a nice change! Anyway, I got a piece of cheese pizza and a piece with meatball and onions. I enjoyed both a great deal. The meatball/onion combo are very flavorful and enhanced the cheese pizza a great deal.... Then I had the piece of cheese pizza and I have become boring and just love the simplicity of the cheese pizza and Tony makes a great slice of cheese pizza! Maybe get meatballs on the side next time is what I am thinking. We ordered the small salad and LOVED the Balsamic Vinaigrette (Tony mentioned it was homemade)... It was a fresh salad that we shared so it was cool that we could get the croutons and the cheese On the side.... Husband doesn't like them but I think they make the salad :) We had a very nice experience and I look forward to coming back and trying the gravy fries.
