    What a great way to experience Cincinnati! We enjoyed the pizza and the salads which are completely unusual and not like any other regular old pizzas. Very delicious meal. And I think the best part was being able to watch the young folks in the kitchen, throwing the pizza dough and truly having a good time doing it.

    Favourite pizza in Cincinnati! For vegetarians, Socrates Revenge is a really good option.

    Clifton location. The food is absolutely AMAZING - everything we tasted we loved!! One of the BEST meals we had in Cincinnati. The staff was super friendly & went out of their way to make sure we felt welcomed & fun! Dining area super clean & relaxing atmosphere. My Granddaughter had a blast watching the staff make pizzas! Thank you Dewey's pizza for making it a fun family dinner night! 🍕 We WILL be back!! ❤

    Pizza is definitely great, but the overweight server was impolite and snappy with us (a group of brown people) tonight (11/16/2023) while being cheerful with other people that looked like her. I’m not sure if it has something to with ignorance or the assumption that this discrimination is not very obvious. Regardless, my future visits to Dewey’s would be for takeout only, because the pizza is consistently amazing.

    Went to try the Yukon Cornelius and was not disappointed. We did half Yukon Cornelius and half Don Corleon, with the Peppercorn Ranch salad, and the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious.

    Dewey's is the only place I will order pizza because I need gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian. They're gluten-free crust is absolutely outstanding. And I often get double goat cheese which I can eat in place of dairy to which I am allergic. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

    This place is fabulous. We had to two of their pizzas and a salad. Everything tasted fabulous. The staff made certain that our drinks never went dry and were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely visit Dewey's again.

    Delightful little place in Clifton. Parking in the lot off the main road, food was delicious and fresh as were the toppings. The price is very affordable too. Staff was attentive to online special instructions and it was a quick checkout when I picked it up. Highly recommend this (and all) Dewey's pizza!

    Love Dewey's cheese pizza! Very large portion sizes and super cheesy. Delicious crust! The service is excellent and the interior of the restaurant is clean, stylish, and well suited for groups. Will be back again!

    Really solid pizza joint in Cincinnati. The crust is fluffy and baked just right with some fun specialties like Porky Fig. Window to kitchen is fun for kids who can watch the kitchen staff toss the dough. Good beer selection. Good for small groups or a date.

    I'll start by saying, we're from the city with the best pizza in the world, Chicago! I did not expect this pizza to be as good as it was. I got the Porky Fig and it was amazing. My husband got the Dr Dre and loved it. My boring small children just got pepperoni. We loved it. If we're ever back in Cincinnati, I know exactly where we're coming back for pizza!

    Enjoyed our first visit to Dewey's! 4.5 /5.0. We were told by UC graduates that Dewey's is the best pizza in Cincinnati, and one of their most favorite overall. It did not disappoint! We enjoyed Socrates Revenge and the Southern BBQ Chicken. Both very solid thin crust pies.

  • 5/5 Greg W. 1 year ago on Google
    Dewey's is, hands down, the best pizza in Cincinnati! It is to be experienced, dine-in, fresh out of the oven! The Edgar Allen Poe is a family favorite. There are plenty of options that can easily be made vegan as well. The house salad is also exceptional and tasty!

    I was excited when Dewey’s acquired the building that used to house a Subway sandwich shop on Ludlow. I thought the restaurant would be expanding their business and have an entrance on the very prominent "back side" of their current restaurant. Ludlow-facing entrance. This would bring Dewey’s more business by drawing in patrons from the main business street (Ludlow), and would also add an inviting dining space where patrons could sit by the window and enjoy a view of Burnet Woods rather than a parking lot (the current view out their current entrance on Hosea). Sadly, it would seem that Dewey’s has no plans for this building. YEARS HAVE PASSED. They renovated their restaurant but haven’t touched this building. Instead, they are letting this very prominent street-facing side of their business deteriorate. I couldn’t be more disappointed in Dewey’s. They have let this cute little building turn seedy. It looks horrible and can’t be helping the neighboring businesses. The awning is disintegrating, the windows are filthy and have been tagged with graffiti, and the interior is clearly simply being used as a storage area. Do better Dewey’s! Demonstrate you care about the neighborhood and revive the Ludlow-facing side of your business!

    We were not satisfied with the pizza, asked for sausage expecting round ball shaped sausage like most pizza places nope it was sliced and looked like kielbasa smoked sausage which I don't like and my sister said it didn't taste good so I took a bit and didn't like it either! Told waitress that we were expecting regular sausage and she said that was the only kind they had. Well they need to put picture of the sausage or explain what it is! Didn't have enough pizza sauce on it either.

    As always, a very consistent, high-quality dining experience, whether dining in or carrying out. Need a taste adventure? Try the Tito Santana. Yum! Nice selection of beers and soft drinks. Ready? Loosen you belt!

    The pizza is delicious. Customer service is incredible. They noticed the mistake on our pizza before they brought it to us. They gave it to us to have while we waited for them to make a new one. They didn't even charge us for either pizza which we didn't realize until we got our bill. That says a lot about their integrity and care for their customers.

    This Dewey's🍕Pizza is really nice! The staff is wonderful, and the Manager is a Woman also. And it's ducked off in a nice hidden oasis part of town. Bought a Pizza to go, but I will definitely be dinning in my next go around..

  • 4/5 Susan T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had calzones which were delicious but had dry corners, if you will. I also had the peppercorn ranch salad which was very good. But to me, the pieces of romaine were too big and the tomatoes were very possibly from a bag, not hand prepared. But I would definitely order again. It was GOOD and the service was very good too.

  • 4/5 Stephen L. 1 year ago on Google
    I would stick to ordering the basics like the Caprice or pepperoni we tried the Dr Dre and the Edgar Allan Poe and they were okay but we prefer the basic pizzas more. And the crust was delicious.

  • 5/5 Alexander C. 1 year ago on Google
    Forgot to leave a review here when I came in 2019, but was walking down Memory Lane with some old pictures and remembered how great the pizza was! Got a terrific custom personal pie with bacon and red peppers, and it was one of the best pizzas I've had in the last several years. Good location right near the Cinci Zoo if you're in town. Great customer service. Highly recommend!

    We are from Indianapolis and so glad we stumbled upon this spot! The Don Corleone was so good… high quality toppings and the crust was devine. Friendly and fast service, and a nice selection of craft beer.

  • 4/5 Marques J. 2 years ago on Google
    When I first moved to Cincinnati, one of my first questions to my local friends was, "Who has good pizza?" A friend recommended Dewey's so when I was in the area one day, I decided to get one. While it seemed more expensive than I thought it should be, I didn't regret it. I got a half-baked and finished it at home. The crust was so good that I still think about it sometimes. The curbside delivery was really quick as well.

  • 5/5 Courtney 2 years ago on Google
    Great customer service! They made a small error on our order and went above and beyond to fix it. Not sure if the woman I spoke with was the manager or shift supervisor, but she was so kind and considerate! And the pizza was delicious!

  • 5/5 Tristan W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the reason we will remain loyal to Dewys… Ordered takeout here last night. We typically specify “well done,” bc we like it crispy. One of our pizzas was on the undercooked side and was a bit soggy. I called and the manager was very apologetic and immediately offered to redo the pizza for free and included a gift card for our next visit. This is customer service! Again, this is why we remain loyalists. The pizza was good too.

  • 4/5 Jackie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Edgar Allen Poe was great. I would have rated a 5 except we had to tell 3 different servers that we wanted to have a couple beers before we ate. Why don't they just have one come to our table?

  • 5/5 Makarand P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place with really good Pizza. They can make half red and half white sauce pizza along with toppings. I wish I was having 🍻 with Pizza. Everyone is very friendly and kids also had lot of fun eating chocolate cake 😂

  • 5/5 Doug S. 2 years ago on Google
    Julie and I love this place. We had a GREAT experience there this weekend. The food was well prepared and creative. The service was OUTSTANDING. (Thanks, Rachel!) It's one of our go-to places in Clifton...one of our favorite neighborhoods.
