    The Entree Applewood-Bacon Ranch Salad was delicious.
    Mary Beth W.

    We had an absolutely delicious lunch at this location this week. The salad was delicious and piled high with lettuce and toppings - the dressing was thick and creamy. The pizza was covered in pepperonis and the crust was perfectly cooked. The team who was working during the early afternoon on 9/9/26 did an awesome job. We were very, very happy we stoped at the Dayton location for lunch.

    About $30 for a pizza and one cider(or beer). Pizza is about big enough for 2. You order, pay and get a number. Then you move down the line and wait again to order a beverage and pay. Get prompted to tip twice(for the food order, and again for the separate drink order) They have bench seating and long tables or 4 seat tables. I came here because I was nearby, this original location has not been my favorite. I tried to ask for a box when I ordered and got the answer that I could have one later, or get it to go. I replied that I was just trying to save someone some work later as I was planning on eating some now and taking the rest. The cashier looked at me like I had 3 heads and smirked condescendingly. That I could do without. They have 3 wood fired pizza ovens, really cool to take a look and see it in action. A few TVs up near the bar. One gal busting A handling the entire seating area with delivering food to the tables. It was kept clean promptly too. She should get the tips!! The pizza was very good, super thin crust, with fresh ingredients. I got the Angry Beekeeper, with hot honey, fresh basil, salami and 2 cheeses. It was delicious.

    The Classic

    So good. Why is "The Classic" the last item on the pizza menu? ... it should be up front and center! Love the vibe of this place and the pizzas are the perfect size.

    I was waiting to try Old Scratch Pizza Neapolitan Style. I enjoyed the Pepperoni (Dayton), Mr. Scratch, Margarita, and Cheese Pizza known as The Elliott. The Angry Beekeeper was the most spicy one. Old Scratch bakes their pizzas in a brick oven unlike other pizza places. The leader of the non-profit in Columbus suggested Old Scratch and was not disappointed. The Caesar Salad was great with their homemade dressing. When I am in Dayton, I will have to check out Old Scratch Pizza with some friends. Thank you so much.

    This was the best vegan pizza I've ever had. And the closest one in flavor to pizza in Italy. The dough is delicious, the tomatoes are the best quality, definetly imported from Italy. We really liked the concept of the place, delicious pizza with a full bar. The design is pretty modern, with long tables and cool utensils/napkin/plates kits on each table. What brought me there was a separate section of the menu dedicated to vegan pizza, this is very rare, so I've had to try how is it. The best hands down. With a glass of cold beer, it was the most amazing end of the long day at the Hocking Hills State Park. My husband also enjoyed his pizza and beer. We both agreed it was one of the best we've had so far in US. Knowing that they have 4 locations around Midwest, I'll make sure to visit them in the future while traveling in this area.

    White pie

    We've heard a lot of good things about this place and so we had to try it out during UD family weekend. The white pie was SO GOOD.Crispy crust with the perfect amount of flavor. Dayton pizza had my FAVORITE type of pepperoni which is the small slices. The crust on this one wasn't as firm as the white pie but was just as flavorful. Service was fast, pizza was hot and we were really happy with this wood fired pizza joint. Was super nice to have the option to sit inside or out since the weather was nice.

    Chill vibes, order then they deliver your food to you. Was quick and easy. Order drinks at a bar and you just wait. Down fall: the appetizer of the bread is just pizza bread Salad was too saucy I would say less sauce or on the side The hot honey pizza had too much honey. However the white pizza was delicious! Would come back for that! Hummus was alright They know how to make great drinks!

    Margherita Pizza with olives and Calabrian chili
    Dalia A.

    Delicious wood fired pizza! Large, open space with plenty of seating both tables on their own and community style seating. You order at the front and they bring the pizza to you. We got the margherita pizza and an additional margherita pizza that we added olives and Calabrian chili - pro tip if you like some spice! Pizza was crisp and delicious. Overall highly recommend!

    Grace J.

    I really enjoyed this pizza spot near downtown Dayton! We got the hot honey pizza, special white pizza, and garlic bread! The crust on the pizza was very soft and stretchy!

    We were in for a bowling tournament and Old Scratch was right down the road. We arrived on time because after we sat down people starting lining up. Pizza came out fast and hot. Everything was wonderful. They don't skimp on the toppings either. Wish you were closer to where we live so I can try more pies. If I'm ever in the area again. We will def be back.

    We have been to the Centerville location but this was our first time at the Dayton Old Scratch and it was hopping! When we first walked in, we didn't see any tables but the manager greeted us as we stood in line to order, asked how many in our party, pointed to the table we should take, then went over and cleaned it off himself. Throughout the evening, he was helping out with whatever was needed and greeting customers. We ordered our pizzas and they came out hot and delicious a little while later. We enjoyed our cocktails as well.

    Venue
    Ry C.

    The venue gave like a clean 2000's pizza place next to a bowling /rollerskating rink vibe. Their custom ovens looked impressive. I also loved that their staff was so kind and courteous. The pizza was delectable. I personally loved the Prosciutto Arugula pizza. It was savory and the thin crust was perfectly cooked. My friend likes the Angry Beekeeper Pizza. It contains honey. Pizza Math: A=r² 9 inch pizza = 63.62 square inches 12 inch pizza = 113.10 square inches * Two 9-inch pizzas: 2(63.62)=127.24 square inches * One 12-inch pizza: 1(113.10)=113.10 square inches Cost per square inch: * Two 9-inch pizzas: 127.24/19.986.37 square inches per dollar * One 12-inch pizza: 113.10/157.54 square inches per dollar Conclusion: The bigger pizza gets you more pizza per square inch. So, order the bigger pizza.

    Angry Beekeeper Pizza
    Suzie D.

    I thought that the pizza was solid. They use 00 flour, so no need to get the gluten free crust. I got gluten free crust and asked for extra crispy. I think that the original crust may be better as the consistency of the gluten free while good, may not be as solid as the regular crust done extra crispy. I would have liked a bit more cheese, but still a staple. It has a good ambiance with music that is nice and not overbearing. Would definitely come back. I sat at the bar and liked the lady who served me. She was friendly and professional.

    Ask the Community - Old Scratch Pizza

    Do you deliver to Reydo Circle in Springfield at Comfort Suites?

    Hi Nathan, we use 3rd party delivery apps like Doordash to deliver.

    Why can't I order carry out on a Sunday at 7:00pm?

    Typically, that is not the case. Occasionally, like possibly last night, we will turn off online ordering if for some reason the dine-in business is unusually overwhelming. It is something that we try not to do, but occasionally we do to be sure… 

    Do they have a happy hour or any specials? If so when and what time?

    Yes, drink discounts and specially priced pizzas from 4-6 weekdays. Subscribe on FB to see their weekly offerings. Check out their website for happy hour details. Great place!

    It's July and there's a heat wave, so I've been avoiding the worst of it by spending my time inside…read moreand working to rehydrate. Dayton Beer Co., is one of the very nice spots where that's possible. The taproom was cool even when the sidewalk outside felt like it was melting. The big windows brought in the bright summer light without the punishment of actually being out in it. I brought my laptop and with my nice seat in the back next to a power outlet, I was able to get things charged, enjoy a pint and sit in the air conditioning undisturbed. Their beer list looked like a good spread of guest beers and their own core beers. A draft Paulaner was my first choice but hey, I can get that anywhere. The light options included their own Gem City Light and that worked very nicely. The space works for solo time in the afternoon, but it could also work for a nice meet up with friends. There's plenty of room to spread out and not feel like you're crowding anyone. I sat for two hours and no one minded at all! Overall, it was an easygoing place to cool off, hydrate, and enjoy a well-made beer while waiting for the temperature to go down. [Review 775 of 2026 - 307 in Ohio - 25956 overall]

One big miss from the watch party piece of things is they had an outdoor seating area and even had a stage which would have been awesome to protect the game onto but they didn't and their TVs were not in sync so one would show the goal seconds before the one near it...was super annoying. If downtown Dayton and want a drink...this place works.
