We love Donatos pizza... but have had numerous problems with delivery orders from this location. On one occaision we ordered 2 subs, one was wrong (no big deal), called and they said the right one would be right out... an hour later no sub, I called back and they never made it because they didn't write down who had called and complained just that someone needed that sub. After a heated phonecall the "manager" said she couldn't authorize giving us free food because there was nothing wrong once we finally got the right food... eventually we did get our meal free... we love the food but if you don't want to stress about your food order it carryout!

Stop by and visit us - we love serving our Middletown neighbors! Our entrance is off Roosevelt Blvd., just a little west of the pizzeria. Turn in at the light and take the service drive around back to our parking lot. Select from our entire menu of LaRosa

I can always find something to eat here but it's definitely not a favorite. I go when it's someone else's choice. I do like their kitchen chips with diablo sauce and garlic fries as appetizers but beyond that, nothing thrills. They are open until midnight on Friday and Saturday and we showed up at 11pm. Our server was fine but her helper was clearly annoyed and certainly did not hide the fact that she was miserable.

Ate here on a Wednesday night. Promptly seated by their friendly staff. I had the chicken parmesan, which I enjoyed. A good piece of breaded chicken and angel hair pasta with marinara, also came with a salad. Wife had the spaghetti with meat sauce, which had plenty of meat. Others had the pepperoni pizza and the fettuccine alfredo. Everyone enjoyed their meals.
6. Dewey's Pizza

Admittedly, it takes a lot for me to get excited about pizza. This did not accomplish it. Dayton, in fact, has its own pizza tradition, as exemplified by Marion's and Cassano's: thin, crispy crust, cut into small squares. If one burns out on that, Dewey's is a reasonable alternative. The ingredients are the stars here, and they're quite good. The crust--not so much. It's just bready enough that it doesn't get crisp, or have an real body. I did, however, have a quite creditable calzone.

We were driving through downtown Springboro on a weekend evening after returning from an activity in Mason, Ohio. I had spotted the Ambiance Wine Bar and Art Café several months ago and was curious about it. We were pleasantly surprised to find this super cozy and romantic café situated in a renovated historic home. There's a small front patio with room for a couple of tables and chairs. The interior has a great ambiance, as the cafe's name suggests--with hardwood floors, chandeliers, and two rooms. The bar is in the main room, and there's another adjacent room for overflow seating. The café includes a wide selection of red and white wines by the glass as well as a full menu including pizza, salad, and pasta. Home made desserts are created weekly by the owner from scratch. I had a glass of the pinot grigio, and my dining partner had a red blend. We shared the dessert of the week which was a cream puff with strawberries. It was the perfect size for sharing and came with fresh strawberries and cream, light and fluffy layers of pastry. The owner stopped over at our table to make sure we were doing well, and she shared with us that the café does not advertise. They will email you the weekly special dinner and/or dessert. We will definitely return for the next special, as this is a very convenient stop on our trips to Cincinnati. It is a very relaxed, casual, super friendly atmosphere which we can enjoy with our friends.

We ate here on our way back from the Smoky Mountains. We were waited on my Tyrah J and she was excellent! She was efficient and kind. We ordered fettuccini alfredo and 5-cheese ziti. Both were excellent, but the alfredo sauce was the BEST I have ever had! Creamy, tasty, and generous!
3. Cassano's Pizza King
Reviewed By Dmcdon2851
We have been patrons of a competing area chain centered in Cincinnati for many years. Circumstances led us to the Springboro Cassano's Pizza. I was so surprised at the quality of the product that my pizza allegiance may change to Cassano's. The crust was thin, crispy and very good. The quality of the ingredients was impressive. We ordered an Italian Sausage Pizza and the pieces of sausage were large balls of sausage the size of a quarter. They were spaced very close on the top making it a True sausage pizza deluxe. The young man at the counter was pleasant and engaging. We will be back and have found a new first choice pizza.

Shaddocks Pizza was a staple for me growing up. My grandparents lived in Middletown Oh for 40 years, every time we would visit Shaddock's was on the menu! They have a very generous amount of cheese on their pizzas. They are also very consistent on the quality and taste. The homemade sauce they use is a wonderful combination of tangy yet sweet. Their pepperoni is strategically placed under the cheese to keep it moist and delicious! It's a great little place to get pizza. If you're ever in town check it out. They do not diss appoint!

Went with my wife and another couple. They had recommended this place. Pizza is made fresh and tastes fresh. They use quality fresh ingredients! We also had appetizers that were moderately priced and extremely tasty as well. There is a big room upstairs for parties. A great place to eat and relax. Wish I lived closer! As someone from NY, this was good pizza!!
