There was a Noble Romans pizza in Fort Wayne years ago and we loved the taste,great pizza! You can't find them in to many places any more but there is one right off of I-65 near Columbus. We had to stop in on our way to Nashville,Indiana. We always liked the deep dish Sicilian pizza and it lived up to our memory. If you like great tasting pizza and your in the area of Columbus,Indiana, stop in and check it out. You'll leave satisfied but wishing you had one near you!

Every few months we like to eat here after church. Last Sunday it was time to do so again. Upon entering we noted a few changes to the interior. It is still nicely appointed; just different. We do like the pictures on the walls particularly of places we have been fortunate to visit. A friendly hostess seated us and then Annie our server politely greeted us and took our drink order. My wife (and son who was not with us this visit) like their flavored ice teas and my mother-in-law likes that she gets a lemon wedge in her water. When Annie returned with our drinks she also had our fresh bread--two loaves--and their "dip" which is a nice change from other places. Although we sometimes like their soups and house salad, all of us decided to go with the Caesar salad. We all enjoyed them. I went with the chicken balsamico for my entree. I enjoy the mixture of flavors in it. My wife selected the bowtie festival for the first time and really liked it. At her suggestion I tried a couple bites and wholeheartedly agreed with her (I might just get it the next time we return).My daughter, a huge pasta lover, created her own pasta dish. she chose penne for the base and then went with a pesto sauce and chicken for her meat. Lastly my mother-in-law chose the lasagna and pronounced it her favorite.Our waitress was efficient and gracious throughout. Upon leaving we noted the attractive landscaping as well.

I have been going to Mancino's for probably 6 or 7 years. I really do like their Grinders.Some time ago, I thought the pizza (Mancino's Pride) was great. They describe the pizza as "loaded". It used to be. Lots of toppings. Then it seemed like they started cutting corners. Now it is a crust (pretty good) with not much topping at all.
7. Marco's Pizza
Reviewed By alliancemark
My family tried this Marco's location for the first time on a Friday night. We called in a carry out order. It was ready in less than 20 minutes. We tried the White Cheezy on classic crust with garlic butter crust topper. It comes with 4 types of cheese including Feta and also onions, bacon (we left that off), sliced tomatoes, and garlic butter sauce. This pizza was outstanding with a unique and rich flavor and a great crust. We also tried the Meat Supremo and it was very good. The staff was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this location of Marco's Pizza.

As a New Yorker I am always on the hunt for great pizza. This is the best NY style pizza I have had in the Midwest. Service is great and the pizza is always outstanding.
5. Arni's Columbus

Reviewed By twparks1948
I was thrilled having moved to Columbus to see there was an Arni's- hadn't ate at an Arni's in a long time. Pizza was undercooked- they were busy and not sure if they were just trying to crank the food out or what. Service was absolutely horrible- I wanted to get up and leave but husband said no- you been wanting to come here. Took 35 minutes to even be acknowledged with a menu- totally unacceptable. Forget ever getting a drink refill. I know everyone has a bad night once in awhile so we will give it another chance- if next time goes the same way that will be our last trip and tells me there are management issues.

Tried this pizzeria recently for carryout. The pizza, a large deep dish, was very tasty with good crust and plenty of cheese and toppings. The pizza was ready when they said it would be and exactly like we ordered it (a refreshing change from another local pizzeria that we recently reviewed) - a good value all around.

I always feel like I am bothering the stoners that work there. The service is bad and they're not prepared for kids at all. The food is great if it ever gets to your table. It's really disappointing too because we loved the one in Bloomington when we lived there. Clyde,We are sorry that your experience at Puccini's in Columbus has not been up to par.That said, we wanted to let you know that the Puccini's in Columbus is changing over to Bucceto's in Columbus. Same great menu, but even better as the Bloomington Bucceto's team takes over the management and operations.Grand Re-Opening will be April 7th and 8th...hope we see you back in the near future!

Small locally-owned Italian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Columbus. Outside dining available as well as a private upstairs banquet room. Decor is accentuated with local artists' work on the walls.
Reviewed By johnfjohnston
Had a pleasant meal. Our server was a delight and was the best aspect of the evening. The food was enjoyable although not outstanding. There were three in the party, thus just three small portions of bread were offered. Stuffed pork chop was a tasty special this night. Meatballs had a surprise...pumpkin seeds. Pasta was standard pasta.

Here on a 4 day bike ride (TandemRally)My husband and family started a micro brewery in Iowa 9 years ago, so when we travel we have to check out other local-to-the area breweries.We went for the brew pub and tried several, very good brews ... but noticed the pizza. The brewpub started out making pizza so it had to be tried ..... ..... WE ORDERED 1/2 & 1/2, veggie and lasagna. While the veggie was GREAT, the lasagna was OUTSTANDING!!!!Hoping to get a pizza to go on our way back to Iowa tomorrow. LASAGNA of course!!
