    I haven't had this pizza in a long time (5+) years, but it's somewhere my parents used to get all the time when I was younger. I got a double pepperoni well done on a Tuesday where they had a special and I only paid $15.95 and it was totally worth it. The pizza itself was delicious (I love the sauce) and exactly how I would have wanted it. I'll definitely be back again soon. If you want to try a fire pizza spot definitely check out rotolos.

    Rotolo's in Grandview was among our first Columbus-style pizzas when we moved to Central Ohio. My wife and used to pick up a pie a few times a month and eat it off the dash of her Honda Civic at a nearby park. Pretty sure there was still the distinct aroma of pepperoni, sausage, and fresh garlic in it when we sold that car. Still a family favorite more than 20 years later.

    A solid pizza! Crust has a great pull not over done nor to crispy. Sauce is top notch and cheese is steller! Great Columbus style pizza!

    They have good pizza, but they put way too much cheese. If cheese is your thing, I definitely recommend them. Sauce is just a tad bit spicy. Not all that spicy. It's really good pizza. My favorite part is how they kinds burn the edges of the pepperoni.

    Best pizza in Columbus! Can’t believe I waited so long to try them. Perfect crust texture and plenty of toppings. 10/10

    This is by far the best pizza in the city. Highly recommend. A great small family business, a true gem in Grandview. Dom is a great guy and knows how to take care of his customers and does a lot of good for the community. This is a weekly spot for us

    Just recently moved into the neighborhood and thought I would give Rotolo's a try and I wasn't disappointed. The pizza was very good with a fair price. I will be back to order again.

    I can confirm these are the cheesiest Pizzas I have ever see and tasted, but something really really catch my eye and heart is that I ordered a family Spaguettis with meat sauce. OMG! You are not wrong with this Pizzeria. Only take out no dinning inn.

    Everyone is always so nice here and the prices are very fair. We've only ordered pizza and it's very good: crisp crust and lots of toppings. One favorite is the white pizza. The flavor of the tomatoes is outstanding. My other favorite to get if I want something different than the rest of the family is an individual sized sausage, mushroom, and green pepper. There's something about that size that is perfection in both quality and quantity. I highly recommend.

    Great crust, a nice thick layer of cheese, and generous toppings. I couldn't believe the heft of a large pizza! Also, be sure to listen to the over-the-top jingle on their webpage!

    Been patronizing Rotolo's pizza for many many years. You won't find a cleaner and more smooth running restaurant in Columbus. I highly recommend there food, pizza, Italian subs & Meatball subs. Keep up the great work!!

    Wife and I got the lasagna dinners. Both very very greasy less the sauce is grease then it had none couldn't eat. Salad had hair in it. First and last time there.

  • 1/5 j b. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pizza, but anymore they can't get it done in a timely fashion. This time I placed the only order for pick-up at a specified time (1+ hr from order placement) and when I arrived at the appointed pick-up time I was told 20 MORE minutes. Just unacceptable. And they don't even have delivery or sit-down - just carry-out. Hate to say goodbye, but this is just a completely unacceptable customer experience. If you have all day and don't mind waiting A LOT, then go for it. But if your time has any value, look elsewhere. Update: Operator eventually offered to refund money, which is of course a nice gesture, but I haven't seen the money yet and it doesn't really compensate for time lost and frustration.

    I've ordered pizza, Italian dinners, subs from many restaurants all over the country, including Columbus and without question - Rotolo's is the best I've had for take out. Their food rivals many excellent sit down, fine dining Italian restaurants. This evening, we ordered a cheese pizza (best in Columbus) and spaghetti with meat sauce, plus a meatball. A very nice salad & great bread came along with that pasta order. It was fantastic! Well done 👏 Kudos to the family & owners of Rotolo's. I will definitely be back soon. Next time I'll see if you have cannolis as well. Thank you for a great experience.

    My family orders from here every Friday!! We have for years. Hands down the best pizza in town . If your wanting pasta try the rigatoni!! Rotolo's is a staple in our home for Friday night pizza night. You'll love the atmosphere and everyone who works there. Highly recommend you try it A.S.A.P😁

    In this constant changing world of conveyor pizzas it's good to know that the Rotolo family is still here giving you quality like it was done yesterday by their parents I know that people are in a hurry and they want everything done quickly and on the conveyor belt but there's nothing like quality over speed and quantity freshly baked in the oven by a Pizzaiola (a trained pizza baker) instead of setting a timer for the pizza to go through a conveyor oven machine. That's Amore 💋

    I stopped by to purchase some dough to try and make a pizza at home. It was one of the best "homemade" pizza's I've ever had. I will be stopping in again soon to buy more dough and pizza! Rotolo's is a fantastic pizza shop!!!!

  • 5/5 Arvi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best Italian cuisine in Ohio. I have had the pleasure of visiting Italy many times and eating locally and to see the same quality, standard and taste in our very own backyard in Columbus was surprising. I have tried other places but no one comes close to the Rotolo's. 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Eric T. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pizza in Grandview closely first to Panzera’s pizza. They toppings are great and the sauce oh the sauce! I prefer the veggie but the meat is great too they make their own sausage. The salads are great for a pizza shop.

  • 5/5 Jay U. 1 year ago on Google
    Columbus style pizza at its finest. Not just family owned, but family operated. As a result, the consistency follows. Every place will have an off day, but it’s rare here. Great pies. This place is an institution.

  • 5/5 Stacy S. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Rotolo's! In addition to their great pizza, they have the family-feel that reminds of how hometown pizzerias used to be, growing up. I appreciate that you can call, speak to a human being and place your order. The owner is really kind too. I suggest it for a great pie and great service.

  • 5/5 Stephanie T. 8 months ago on Google
    The pizza, bread sticks and pasta salad were delicious! We ordered for pickup and the staff was not very welcoming, borderline rude when we picked up. Would still go back because the pizza is THAT good.

  • 3/5 Adam B. 1 year ago on Google
    I really wanted to give this place a 5 because the pizza was fantastic but I ordered a custom pizza on the website with pepperoni on the whole thing with additional toppings on half but they forgot the pepperoni entirely so my girlfriend was stuck with plain cheese pizza. They were also out of the shandy I had ordered for her. Great pizza, disappointed with the attention to detail though.

  • 5/5 Vincent P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Pizza, service and people. I have been going there since 1980. It has not changed and love them.

    What an absolute treasure find this was for our team meal! I can't say enough positive things about the owner, Dominic, the manager, Rick and their team at the Columbus location. We brought 80 rowers and coaches to a regatta this weekend and not only did Dominic get on the phone himself to assist me with team allergies and determining the correct quantity to order, but he also worked within our budget. The communication was outstanding and the food even better. The kids devoured the pasta trays and the food was PIPING hot even upon return to the team tent ! We will 100% be using Dominic and Rotolos for the rest of our trips to the regatta next year and years after - thanks for everything guys! OUTSTANDING!
