This is a special of theirs the All' Amatriciana. Delicious! That's all I will give you. But I will also share that the staff and bartenders are amazing, chill, and welcoming. The focaccia bread is worth the trip alone (sorry I didn't photo it) . The vibe in here is upscale but not pretentious. You can eat upscale food and fancy bev but also feel chill at home vibes.

Wayfarer Tavern - This is a special of theirs the All' Amatriciana. - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Kentucky

Love this bar. It's in an old building with the ambiance of exposed brick, and wooden floors. Beautiful. The food is amazing - we had the Caesar salad and meatball appetizers and the Tavern Classic pizza. All delicious. Although I would say that while the Caesar salad is rightfully delicious, it's not a classic Caesar flavor profile. I want to go back and explore other intriguing menu items! Our server, Ann, was attentive and helpful and made the evening very pleasant for us. Thank you! read more

Great little place in Dayton, KY. Old building with a great bar. Two rooms plus outdoor patio that gets afternoon shade. We sat outside and our server was very attentive even though they have to go out the front door to get there. Only two beers on tap, but others in cans/bottles. Lots of wine options. Full page of cocktails. The pizza was awesome. Perfect crust. We shared the seasonal summer corn elote pizza. Perfect taste and spice. We started with the beef carpaccio and summer watermelon and tomato salad. I would highly recommend both. Definitely a place I will visit again. read more

Stopped in here earlier on a Friday evening just ahead of their rush(with lots of people waiting what looked like awhile for a table). We've been meaning to get here as all of our friends have raved about it. It's nestled all the way down the adorable business-filled Sixth Street in Dayton, KY. We struggled to find the parking lot that was mentioned and just took an easy spot on the street. I recommend getting a salad, drinks, and/or starters as the pizza takes awhile to come out, but is so worth it. We made the mistake of not ordering enough at the beginning and had to wait extra long when we opted to order a second one mid-meal. Don't be like us, order lots of pizza to start. It's so good, trust me, you'll want more. read more

Best service delicious pizza awesome Caesar salad and great bartenders. Cold frosted glasses for beers if you ask.

I was in the area so I stopped in to get two pizzas for carryout to take home to West Chester. These pizza's are our kind of pizza! Thin crust with a crusty cheesy edge, great sauce (red more moist than the white) and plenty of toppings to pick your favorite combo. I especially loved the Peppadew peppers. At $23 for a 12" pizza, they were a bit pricey. The service was very friendly. I wish we had a place with pizza like this nearer to us. read more

DO NOT SLEEP ON WAYFARER TAVERN! We've been at least four times in the last six months and it has never disappointed. We took foodie relatives who were in town from LA last week, and they were floored. We got 6 different pizzas - all amazing and all delicious. We went back last night and had more of an appetizer feast. We got MORTADELLA + WHIPPED RICOTTA MORTADELLA TONNATO HOUSE MADE FOCACCIA SOUTHERN SNACK PLATE MARINATED BEANS WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO OYSTERS (6) They were all INCREDIBLE. Fairly stuffed, we decided to order one PIZZA ALL'AMATRICIANA, which was the perfect salty, spicy ending to yet another amazing meal at Wayfarer. Our server was seasoned, and knowledgeable. She was unobtrusive but readily available whenever we needed her. There isn't a single thing I would change about this place. It's truly a find!! read more

we went here after seeing it on Chowdown Cincinnati, and we're so excited to try it out There was a 45 minute wait to sit inside, but outside was available, so we decide to sit outside and were completely fine with that because it felt great out. our server was amazing, and he was great and super friendly while the girl that delivered drinks seemed to be very annoyed with our presence. I really loved the focaccia bread and the Caesar salad. I thought they were absolutely delicious. And would 100% go back. Just to eat that. As for the pizza, I was not impressed, and it had a hot honey sauce on it. That was good, but it seems to be completely covered in it, in a negative way. I had two small pieces, and then decided to just leave the rest due to not enjoying. I would come back to give this place, another chance or just for the Caesar salad. read more

Love everything about this place! It's so great to see quality food coming in to Dayton, ky! The interior is fun and cozy, we loved the bar area and the food was delicious! The carpaccio was some of the best we've had in cincy! We also loved the crispy pizza crust! We tried the staff pick of the month and it had pepperoni and hot honey. read more

The hubs and I have been on the hunt for the best pizza, and this was a recommendation. Very interesting pizza combinations! They were unfortunately out of foccacia bread when we got there, but the manager told us about the secret garlic Flatbread option and we were sold. We also got the meatballs. We were surprised by the size, but with all the food we had it seemed smart that the meatballs were on the smaller side. Cool little place, we'll definitely come back. read more

This place is soooo good! The Caesar salad was phenomenal and full of flavor. The toasted breadcrumbs and Caesar dressing that came with it had us begging for more. We had the classic tavern pizza and fully planned on taking some home, but my husband and I CRUSHED it because it was that good. We are already planning another trip back so we can try a different pizza! read more

Went to Wayfarer for Valentine's dinner and had an excellent time! It's so great to see new spots popping up in Dayton. My favorite part of the meal was genuinely the cocktails. They were perfect. The meatballs and pizza were delicious. I like how the pizza is cut into smaller squares. Overall it was very delicious, but it was a bit pricey for pizza. Service was good and the ambiance is an elevated bar. Has a very cozy vibe that I really liked. We will be back! read more

Finally tried out the much anticipated pickle pizza at wayfarer. While the food and drinks were tasty it's definitely overpriced. Also our pizza orders were accidentally served to the table next to us so while we watched them eat our 2 pizzas and their 2 pizzas we waited over 45 mins for ours. The staff comped focaccia, another round of drinks and our $8 peppadew appetizer which was nice of them. Kinda wish they took care of at least one of our pizzas. We unfortunately didn't have the best first experience :( read more

From the food to the drinks to the atmosphere and service, Wayfarer is just killing it. We have been there a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Friendly staff, tasty food, and good drinks. Can't ask for much more! Highlights so far include the pickle pizza and Korean corn bbq pizza, but the caesar salad and stuffed peppadew peppers are a must have as well. The cocktail menu is well thought out and has options for everyone. The strawberry puree cocktail (I forget the name but we subbed out vodka for the gin) is just the perfect summer drink. Also, they have a very generous rewards program, which makes it a great place to throw into the regular rotation. Can't wait to go back! read more

Tavern Style pizza in Ohio is hard to come by ever since I moved from Chicago and this one is the best I've found. For just being open a few months their pizzas hit the spot everytime. The pepperoni on this pizza is filled with cup-char pepperoni! The only thing I noticed was the service was quite slow and hope this will improve the longer they are open. I'm glad I found this spot because now any time I am craving tavern style I will be sure to pick up a pie from here. read more

Are you kidding me.... Our kid just graduated from Xavier and this was our last meal in Cincy. I wish we found this 4 years sooner. Some of the best pizza I've ever had - try the Pickle Power and Double Trouble. Beef Carpaccio was ridiculous! The vibe and service in the place was phenomenal. Give this place a go. read more

Cool little tavern in a remodeled old house. Went there for lunch and had a great time. Great friendly service! We shared marinated olives, chips and horseradish onion dip, and the Devil's Backbone Pizza with red sauce. The olives were amazing! Good marinated olives, but topped with chopped almonds, garlic, and cheese (just a little of each) and came with hummus and focaccia. The horseradish onion dip was nice and came with an assortment of colorful vegetables! The pizza was good as well - tavern cut with dollops of spicy sauce on top. Finished it off with a root beer float with vanilla gelato. Not far from Newport - worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

My family and I were here celebrating my uncle's retirement and everything was incredible! Not pictured but equally delicious were the meatball appetizer, pepperoni pizza, korean corn cheese pizza (the bbq on this one is kind of spicy, which I liked but some would've preferred it on the side), trusty chords pizza, and veggie deluxe. Our server Riley was great as well. read more

This place serves interesting pizzas like Korean corn and Dill Pickle, along with craft cocktails and small bites. I think it's something fun and different, but all of the pizzas are 12 inches and around $20 a piece. They are a touch overpriced for the value so I'm not sure I would go back, but I do see this as worth a visit if you haven't been! The Korean corn was our favorite, and the Caesar and tavern salads were good too read more

Made it in tonight for their soft opening and was not disappointed. Super cute spot in Dayton. Bartender Scott was amazing and they were packed! Always got to work out the kinks but the food was amazing!!! Had a little bit of everything: oysters, meatballs, beans, mortadella, and stuffed peppers to start. Highlights were the beans and peppers by far. I would have preferred the oysters to come with everything on the side but still good. Always prefer west coast oysters too. Got a wedge and literally almost licked the plate. Deluxe pepperoni pizza and dill pickle. Both the best! It's donato's style, could have been a bit crisper. Pepperoni won in my onion but the group was a mix. Either way solid place! read more

We went in on Sunday at 2:00 in the afternoon. There was one table already there and we were the second. We ordered 4 pizzas and drinks. It took right at an hour to get the pizzas, and one of them was the wrong pizza. They did remake it, and it only took half an hour. If you want an interesting twist on pizza they have it and they are pretty good. Just be ready to wait and they are pricy. If you are expecting a Chicago tavern style pizza, this is not the place for it. read more

Wayfarer Tavern is making some of the best pizza you'll find in any city, anywhere. The restaurant its self is classic and welcoming. Great vibe. The service is always top notch. We've tried a few of the specialty pizzas and loved them all. For me, it's usually cheese pizza, but with tavern style pies it's fun to get more than one and share. Try the Korean Corn if you're looking for something non traditional. 5 stars across the board. read more

Wayfarer Tavern - Korean corn pizza / cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Dayton, Kentucky

Honestly great and inventive pizzas are coming out of Wayfarer Tavern, which also offers a fine selection of tempting cocktails. For a family dinner, we ordered three different 12" pizzas -- the Korean Corn Cheese (Confit Garlic Cream White Sauce, 3 Cheese Blend Corn, Sweet & Spicy Pickled Jalapeño, Gochujang BBQ Sauce, Green Onion After Bake), the Pickle Power (Confit Garlic Cream, White Sauce, Pickles, Onion, 3 Cheese Blend Fresh Dill, Chive, House-Made Ranch, & Ridged Potato Chips After Bake) and the May Staff Choice (Crispy Cup-and-Char Pepperoni, Bacon, Sweet & Spicy Pickled Jalapeño, House-Made Hot Honey, Red Sauce, 5 Cheese Blend). All were really good but the Korean Corn Cheese was my favorite with all the ingredients blending to create something really special and different. I was going to have the El Capitan Margarita when our great server let me know about an off the menu special margarita made with ginger. It was wonderful. The only reason I am not giving Wayfarer a top rating is the level of noise in the restaurant. Between the wood floors and high ceilings, there is nothing to soften the sound of happy conversations. I truly only caught about 20% of our table talk, which is a shame given how rarely we are all together. read more

Wayfarer is a great addition to the Greater Cincy Pizza scene serving up tavern style pizzas. The outdoor seating is super great on a nice day and the service was friendly and attentive. The star of the show was the caesar salad. The crisp lettuce, toasted breadcrumbs, anchovy pieces and flavorful dressing went perfectly together. The tavern style veggie pizza was very unique with the lemon and ricotta with a great cook on the pie. The cheese was cooked well and was solid, but the flavor was nothing special. I am excited to come back and try the pickle and Korean corn pizza! read more
