    St. Francis Apizza on Erie Ave is a deal that cannot be beat! This pizza is as good as any in the whole city. For the price and size, it is an unbeatable value. I had the Erie Ave. It was a bomb! Hot honey, pepperoni, jalapeños with basil on the side. This takeout only spot has my pizza ready before the estimated time. Ordering was painless and pick up was swift. This is my new go to spot for a great pizza!

    Amazing. Some of the best dough/crust I've ever had. You have to try this place if you're a serious pizza eater. Great service. Easy pick up. Place is always nice and clean. Try it. Thank me later.

    half burrata margarita, half vegan pepperoni pineapple- it was ok

    Adding a star because of the great customer service I received after my review. The manager reached out, apologized and gave me a full refund. This is why we try to support local!

    Pizza time!

    My fiancee and I had been to their location in Oakley and loved it so we decided to try this one too. The big difference is that this location is carryout only. I'll admit I was taken off guard when I was calling in out order and was told they have a different menu than the Oakley location and they don't do Chicago-style pizzas like Oakley does. Still, we're flexible, and we were wanting some good pizza. We opted for a NY style 16" with sausage and mushrooms. It was ready in about 20 minutes and was just being put on the front counter as soon as I arrived. Timing is everything. Aside from pizza, they also have salads, cookies, gelato, and bottles of wine and brews from Wandering Monsters to take home as well. Of course, the pizza was fantastic, and we'll certainly be ordering carryout from them again.

    For carry out only. Although I did notice a couple of outdoor tables- so weather permitting. We placed an online order for a 1/2 Erie Ave pizza and 1/2 Cincinnati supreme. Thin crust with a nice crisp. Pizza was ready when stated and the staff were amiable. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The crust was an amazing thin and chewy-crunchy one. Price is moderate.

    My friend and I ordered a custom pizza with pepperoni, spinach, and ricotta and it was good! Crust was not my preferred style but all the ingredients were of quality and tasted great. The restaurant is takeout only (although there are some folding tables outside) and we ordered online. The pizza was likely ready after 20 minutes but it was still hot when we picked it up after 40 min.

    Monday special, tavern style with sausage

    Phenomenal pizza. Highly worth a visit. Pizza was piping hot, fresh and delicious. Online ordering was clutch as I didn't know how busy they would be. Was able to eat outside. Plenty of tables to enjoy your pizza and a beverage. Owner was super nice and we chatted about restaurants around town. Shout out to him for providing awesome service and being genuine. Best tavern style pizza I've had in some time. Visit this spot. You will not be disappointed. Can't wait to come back and try their east coast style pies that are served on other days besides Monday. I love all pizza so both would definitely be up my alley :)

    Half supreme half pepperoni.

    One of my top 10 pizzas. Incredible crust. Quick service. Carry out only. We had a couple slices tailgating style. Well done!!

    Ordered: Erie Ave We were at a nearby restaurant for lunch and I saw so many high rated reviews of the best pizza in Cincinnati that we had to stop by to get a second lunch. The reviews were not wrong- it is currently the best pizza that I've had in Cincinnati! On Saturday, they have a 10 inch special for half the price. The pizza was still warm when we got home and every bite was perfect! The crispy crust, quality pepperoni, hot honey and the sauce was everything! I appreciated the fresh basil on the side. I wished they had an indoor seating area so we didn't have to wait to get home to eat it.

    Half Erie half, half white pizza

    Great pizza, great salad, good selections but not as many at the Oakley location. The ingredients were very fresh and the Cesar dressing was delicious. Some red sauce got on the white pizza but can't complain too much. Garlic sauce was mainly oil so would recommend another dipping sauce.

    Frozen pepperoni

    Made my way in on a Monday for their take on Chicago Thin Tavern Pizza. Just one size, 14" and only on Mondays. Dough fermented for a week. This was my first time here, so I'm guessing regular style is New Haven. I enjoyed my pizza and they even pie cut it for me. Pepperoni with hot honey hit the spot. Could have used a couple more minutes in the oven. Just learned they just opened a dine in restaurant in Oakley, but closed Mon-Tue. They will have tavern style there the rest of the week. This place is only to-go.

    St. Francis Apizza is one of my favorite spots in town. The crust is what makes this pizza. It is crispy and not too thick. One of my favorite things they do is Tavern Style Mondays. I'm from Chicago and its hard to find any square cut pizza here. They do it so well and thin, plus when you add the cup-and-char pepperoni it is spot on. The only thing I wish is they had was sit down so I could eat it right away! It is carry out only, so I have to wait till I get home to eat it!!

    Had to find a descent spot here in Cincinnati so this was the one my son and I tried out. Ordered a pizza with half of 2 of their specialty pies in one pie. Descent quality ingredients, nice flavor palette, crust was a bit tough but overall good. Ceasar salad was good as their dressing was homemade. Worth a try if in Cincinnati.

    My only complaint is wishing there was an eat-in option. The crust got a little tough on the ride home but overall, it was a great pizza

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!

    We stopped in before a show at Southgate House. It was a Friday and we made reservations for 5:30…read more Reservations at this time were not needed; it was not crowded. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. They have outside seating, which could be nice in the right weather, though the area is just feet from the main drag. Our server was fine. I have no real recollection of them. We ordered a deep dish, looking to find a pizza as good as Zachary's in California. Bourbon House Pizza is not as good as Zachary's, but it is the best deep dish pizza we've tried in the Cincinnati area since we've been back in Cincinnati since 2021. We made our own pizza in an attempt to match our favorite - spinach and mushrooms. It was good. I enjoyed the sauce on top. Under the sauce, the cheese was very thick making the overall taste of the pizza very cheesy. We had a similarly cheese deep dish in Chicago. Our pizza at Bourbon House was better. I will say the crust is thick. I would have eaten the crust if there had only been two pieces per person. Since I was faced with potentially eating four pieces, I opted to skip the crust. One of our group asked if she could order from the kid's menu. The server had no issue with the request. Oddly enough, her meal was huge! We were all surprised it was a kid's meal. Our fourth ordered a small pizza. It looked like it had pineapple on it. I didn't ask how it was, but he ate every bite. It must have been a small and it was the perfect single serving size. Oh... we ordered a medium deep dish. It was eight pieces and was too much for two people. Because we were going to a show after dinner, we didn't box up the leftover two pieces. This size pizza would be great for four people to share. We will continue to look for great deep dish pizza, but we definitely found a good one at Bourbon House Pizza.

We hadn't been to Newport on the levee in a while and were quite surprised at how few people were around. Idk if it's normally like this now or if something was going on, but it was kind of shocking. We got the pretzels and cheese appetizer, which was good. We know deep dish takes longer to make and cook, but we didn't see our waitress or our pizza for an hour after we ordered. The pizza was good, not great. I can describe it as the thickness and weight that most people that haven't had a real deep dish would think it should be. The crust is very dense, not light and airy. It's also kind of spicy, which I liked, but my wife didn't. It was kind of loud, even though there weren't very many people in there. They also have TVs with sports on all over, so it's kind of a sports bar/sit down restaurant. We would recommend it and would probably go back.
