I've been eating Plaza Pizza for as long as I can remember. (40+ years!). When I loved in Newark is…read morewas a weekly staple and when I moved to Columbus in 2003 I'd make as many trips as I could just for the pizza. I was worried when ownership changed hands and had heard a few rumors that things had changed drastically. I'd not eaten there since the change but had a major craving this past week. I was happy that I could now order on line ahead of time and even schedule a pickup days in advance(and pay ahead of time).. I had a question and the owners answered me asap and even checked back to see how I enjoyed my pizza. Pickup during this time of social distancing and Covid 19 was a breeze and they'll even bring it to your car if you call them. Pizza review... Pretty damn close to the original taste! That amazing cracker crust... Just enough grease....yum. I did notice a little more spiciness to the sauce but that didn't bother me one bit. I'll be back very soon!!!! Keep up the amazing pizza and service!!

My husband and I have always made it a point to stop at Plaza Pizza whenever we're in Newark…read more Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a huge disappointment. The restaurant just doesn't seem to have recovered since COVID. They no longer offer dine-in service, and all of the tables have been pushed in front of the prep area, so customers can no longer watch the pizzas being made--a feature that used to add to the experience. The condition of the restaurant was concerning. The ceiling tiles were stained and discolored, several were out of place leaving openings to the floor above, and there appeared to be visible mold on ceiling tiles and around the vent above the pizza ovens and prep area. Given the location, it raised concerns for me about sanitation and food safety. The drink cooler was completely empty. When we asked, we were simply told they were out of beverages. We ended up buying drinks from the business next door, where they mentioned that Plaza Pizza customers regularly come there because the pizza shop doesn't have beverages available. The pizza itself wasn't what we remembered. The signature cracker crust that made Plaza Pizza special is gone. It lacked the crisp, fresh texture it once had and instead tasted stale. The bottoms of both pizzas were also dotted with black debris from the oven deck -- the oven decks have been cleaned between pizzas which should be a standard operating procedure. The restaurant was extremely hot inside, and I noticed ingredients such as sauce being kept in containers on the counter rather than in a refrigerated prep table. Having spent many years working in food service, those observations prompted me to review recent Licking County health inspection reports. I found multiple repeat violations that had reportedly remained uncorrected, which made the issues I observed even more concerning. This restaurant used to be one of our favorite stops, and it's disappointing to see how far it has declined. I genuinely hope the owners invest in cleaning, maintenance, and stronger food safety practices because Plaza Pizza was once a local gem. Until then, we'll be taking our business elsewhere.

Well I've tried the other pizza competitor and wasn't a fan. But Pizza burg's pie is pretty good. I gave them 4 outta 5 because I generally don't like a sauce that's a little sweet, but the spice of the pepperonis tends to help balance that. Also not a fan of the crumbled sausage. But will order again for sure!

Couple drafts beers. frosted pint glasses! Sauce people, great taste, not too spicy or sweet. Just right! Crust snobs, in between doughy and cracker. Soft on top, a little crunch on bottom. Not thick. Cooked very well. Cheesers!! I really liked the taste. That bite with all cheese is satisfying. I would order a cheese only and be good with it. Pepperonis that curl up when cooked and crisp a little around the top ring. That's how it should be!! Nice sized nugget sausage that added a little spice to each bite. Banana peppers with some snap when you bite them. Not all thin and dehydrated from cooking. Saw a few subs other diners were eating after I'd ordered. I'm going to try one of those next and maybe one of the many desserts

The food itself I would give 4 stars, the pizza was good. The vibe inside with the decor and…read morehometown pride was really cool. But the experience as a whole left things to be desired. We ordered for dine in, we were told to get our own cups from this little bar area. However every cup had a nasty smell like it was stacked while wet and had black dots on and specks of things (mold maybe?) I asked the girl working the counter and she gave me some styrofoam after I told her the cups were dirty. No problem. Our pizza came out with the wrong toppings at first which was fine- We waited and they corrected it. What I couldn't get over though was the absolutely filthy plates. The plates again on this bar thing were self serve and I don't think had been cleaned at all and if they were the dishwasher needs to be retrained on sanitary rules and food safety. The stacks had old food stuck to the bottom of nearly every plate. I know this because I sifted through to try to find ones that would work for my little family. I couldn't find any that I felt comfortable eating off of, and I got the impression they weren't really washed. I began to feel annoying to our waitress "Addison" because I again brought up something.. and now the plates were gross. Addison - who in general was very kind and doing the best she could. She explained to us they are short staffed and that the boys in the back weren't doing a good job washing. She personally took 4 plates for us and washed them- which I really appreciated. The table behind us though - not even five minutes later I watched her serve with the dirty cups and plates. That grossed me out so much especially after I had just told her about the cleanliness. It took all I could do to not say something to the table - but my husband said not to cause a stir.. I'm telling you - I'm a person who isn't afraid of a little dirt. This was UN CLEAN. I'm rating it 2, not to be a jerk- because the food was pretty good - but because the cleanliness needs be addressed.

I heard a bit of hype on this spot from some folks at work, and while me and the fam were out doing…read morea few errands, thought we'd stop by and give it a shot for lunch. I'll start off by saying that this spot was very clean, especially during the afternoon rush. I'll start off with the wings since I'm a wing kinda guy. I was really thrown off by the dry season for mango habanero, I was expecting these wings to be sauced up. Honestly they weren't bad. Not the best, but still delicious for dry rub of this flavor. The sub was not your run of the mill sandwich, this sub had a generous portion of meat to it. Very good sub for lunch. Pizza was really nothing spectacular, and let be be fair, this wasn't a terrible pizza, it was just a pizza. For a thin crust, was a tad let down with the flimsiness of each slice. And maybe I need to start ordering pizza a little well done. Maybe it's my fault. Still, I need to be fair here with my review, the service was very good. There was hardly a wait for the drink orders to be taken and served, and the server was very customer focused and very engaged. Will we come back, yes, more than likely. Good spot for a quick lunch, we will definitely have to give the rest of the menu a chance.

The noodles were hard and the garlic bread accompanying it was cold. Wasn't worth take away box to fix flavor at home. The steak sub was ok but I was hungry by the time we ate. It wasnt sliced steak as normally found at other restaurants; it was more like a cube steak..? Added red pepper flakes and Parmesan for added flavor. The salad looked and smelled very good but was afraid to eat bc of the bad vegy reviews going round with people getting sick. If I return it will only be for the pizza which I wish I could've gotten but we attended an event and they weren't serving pizza. Ahhh ambiance: door frame in event room was crumbling and nasty looking at the bottom. Ugh.
