I’ve tried Pizza Bandit a few times now, and I am less than impressed. I think what gets people in, is their crazy combinations and Facebook presence. In my experience, their pizza just has not been good. The sauces are what makes their pizza, and you shouldn’t have to douse pizza in random sauce to make it tolerable.
On my most recent order, we ordered ahead of time by more than 12 hours, with a specific pick-up time, and our pizza was ready 35 mins early, (you get a text when your order is ready). We were in the middle of grocery shopping on the other side of town, and couldn’t just drop everything to go pick up our pizza. So we ended up with cold pizza.
In my opinion, PB does not reheat well, so leftovers end up getting thrown out. For me, this has been one of those restaurants that has been hyped up SO much, that by the time you try it, it’s like “Meh.” ♀️

The pizza I just had was not made by someone who cares about pizza. The photos speak for themselves: the crust was semi-cooked as bottom of the pizza was white, and it was gummy to eat. The 2 stars were earned solely from their spicy sauce which was genuinely awesome and should have been on some chicken bc again that sauce is outstanding!…but the pizza contributed 0 to that star count.
I’m genuinely disappointed that this place was all hype, this was simply not good pizza. I know I ordered near closing time, but just look at the pic of the bottom- it’s stark white, why in god’s name wouldn’t someone put that back in the oven? It’s clearly not done and for $25 I kinda expect someone to care a just a little about how it turns out.
To be thorough, this also was not new york style pizza- yes the slices are large; but the dough is 2-3x as thick as it should be and there’s too much cheese for that style. This is closer to papa johns but with much better sauces.

We ordered 2 whole pies this weekend(half pep and half just cheese) both times. The first was Friday night while at the Yellow Cab for Dayton Sideshow 2022. Then another Sunday while dismantling my art display. The pizza is full of very yummy flavors. If you order an entire pizza, you get 6 dipping sauces. Will definitely be getting again. The slices are huge. A pizza is cut into 6 slices. Fold it up, dip in a sauce, and consume…. Repeat until full.
Thank you Pizza Bandit for the damn tasty pizza!

The sauce: 9/10
The crust: 7/10 (I would go to a 9.5/10 if it was crispy as a NY style pizza should be)
The topping ratio: 10/10
Bonus points for giving you up to 6 sauces that are out of this world delicious! (I tried the chipotle ranch , sweet garlic – it’s like Papa John’s garlic but on another level, and marinara )
I would give this Pizza 4.5 stars if I was allowed and I think it’s the #3 best pizza in Dayton, OH.

We ordered the Crab Rangoon pizza on a recommendation from a friend. It tasted just like the appetizer. It even had the pastry shell pieces on top. A little sweet but overall good pizza. It is a bit pricey (because it is a speciality pizza) however, in line with other speciality pizza places you may have visited.

I’ve been here several times and their pizzas never disappoint. Tried one of their honey and brie pizzas and the flavors were on point. Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for NY style pizza with a twist!

It’s a shame because the pizza is pretty good and they are one of the few places in Dayton w vegan cheese options, but this place is ridiculous. It’s never open when it claims to be. I placed an online order and they just decided to cancel it. Their hours are so sporadic. They won’t survive when Late Night Slice comes to town.

Good pizza, but other than their daily/weekly specials, there’s very little variety as far as toppings (pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers, feta..). Gluten free pizza was good, $10 for a 10″ pizza, 75 cents for extra toppings. Not bad, but didn’t blow us away. Inside was a little grungy, but at least there were tables!

I had a slice of the Mac N Cheese with hotdogs pizza. It was amazing! And a huge slice! I want to try more of their pizzas!
