Pizza may be one of the most universally loved foods, but not every pie is created the same. Crust thickness, cooking methods, toppings, cheese, and regional traditions can completely change the experience from one pizza to the next.
Luckily, pizza lovers can sample several different styles without leaving Henry County. From classic American pies piled with favorite toppings to thin, foldable New York-style slices and Neapolitan-inspired pizzas fresh from the oven, there is a slice for just about every craving.
CLASSIC-STYLE PIZZA
When most people picture a neighborhood pizza night, classic American-style pizza is probably what comes to mind. Somewhere between thin and deep dish, these pizzas typically feature a sturdy, slightly chewy crust topped with tomato sauce, plenty of melted cheese, and seemingly endless topping combinations. It is familiar, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser.
15th Street Pizza & Pub
A longtime Henry County favorite, 15th Street Pizza & Pub puts its own spin on the classic pizza-and-a-cold-drink combination. Build a pizza with your favorite toppings or choose one of the restaurant’s specialty creations, then settle in for a casual meal with family or friends. With a relaxed pub atmosphere and an extensive selection of beverages to pair with your pie, 15th Street is an easy choice for a traditional pizza night.
NEAPOLITAN-STYLE PIZZA
Neapolitan pizza traces its roots to Naples, Italy, and proves that sometimes simplicity is best. Traditionally, the style features a thin, soft crust with a puffed, lightly charred edge and a simple combination of fresh ingredients. High-temperature ovens cook the pizzas quickly, creating a crust that is tender in the center with blistered spots around the outside.
De Horno Pizzeria & Cocina Mex
At De Horno Pizzeria & Cocina Mex, pizza shares the spotlight with Mexican cuisine for a combination visitors may not expect to find in the same restaurant. Its Neapolitan-inspired pizzas offer a departure from the heavier American-style pie, with an emphasis on the crust and oven-baked flavor. It is an especially fun stop for groups who cannot decide between pizza night and Mexican food.
NEW YORK-STYLE PIZZA
Big slices, thin crusts, and plenty of cheese define one of America’s most recognizable pizza traditions. New York-style pizza typically has a crisp exterior with enough flexibility to fold the slice in half, making it just as suited for a quick lunch as it is for a full pizza dinner. Whether topped simply with cheese and pepperoni or loaded with extras, the oversized slices are part of the experience.
Davinci’s NY Style Pizza
The style is right there in the name at Davinci’s NY Style Pizza. This longtime local restaurant specializes in thin, New York-style pies alongside a menu of Italian favorites. Grab a whole pizza for the table or enjoy a slice when the craving strikes.
I Love NY Pizza
I Love NY Pizza brings another taste of the Northeast to Henry County with generously sized, thin-crust pies made for anyone who believes pizza is best enjoyed by the slice. Classic combinations keep things familiar, whether visitors prefer a simple cheese pizza or something with a few more toppings.
Lovin’ Oven
Lovin’ Oven rounds out Henry County’s lineup of New York-style pizza spots. Its thin-crust pizzas offer the familiar combination of a crisp base, chewy bite, flavorful sauce, and plenty of cheese that fans of the style know and love.
Poppin’ Pizza
For another take on the New York-style slice, stop by Poppin’ Pizza. Thin crust, melted cheese, and plenty of topping possibilities make it a casual option for satisfying a pizza craving without overcomplicating things.
GREEK & ITALIAN-STYLE PIZZA
Pizza traditions around the Mediterranean offer yet another way to enjoy a pie. Greek-style pizzas tend to feature a thicker, chewier crust and can incorporate ingredients associated with Greek cuisine, while Italian-inspired pies often emphasize classic sauces, cheeses, herbs, vegetables, and meats. For diners who like exploring flavors beyond the typical pepperoni pizza, these restaurants offer plenty of possibilities.
Olympia Pizza
At Olympia Pizza, Greek and Italian influences come together on one menu. Pizza lovers can enjoy hearty pies in a welcoming neighborhood restaurant while anyone in the group craving something different can explore additional Greek and Italian favorites.
Graffiti’s Pizza – A Greek Taverna
Graffiti’s Pizza brings Italian-inspired flavor to Henry County’s pizza scene. From familiar pizza combinations to specialty pies, it offers another way to explore how different ingredients and preparation styles can transform a simple combination of dough, sauce, and cheese.
