This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. Plenty of options for ordering a variety of pies, be sure to check out the hot honey dip to add onto your pizza, what an excellent addition. A Big variety of drinks to pick from, super fast service and really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place to everyone and we will definitely come back ourselves sometime soon!!!

Low key place with quality gourmet pizza, bar with good beer and cocktails, nice atmosphere, inside and outside seating, plenty of parking. Would come back here for sure. Recommended.
I had to ask for the fresh basil because they baked it originally (which is no good) and even though I asked for no chilis, they snuck them on so I had to pick them off. Otherwise the pizza was great. Good crust, good ingredients.

Old Scratch has easily become one of my favorite spots in Dayton, and honestly, it’s my perfect go-to place on a Sunday. The atmosphere is casual yet modern, making it a great place to unwind whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, meeting friends, or even going on a date. It strikes that rare balance of being lively without ever feeling overwhelming, which makes it just as comfortable to stop in solo as it is to go with a group.
The food is absolutely amazing every single time. My personal favorite is their pepperoni pizza with hot honey—it’s the perfect combination of savory, spicy, and sweet that keeps me coming back. Pair that with their refreshing berry lemonade, and it’s basically my idea of the perfect meal. The quality is always consistent, and I love that every location I’ve been to maintains the same great standard.
What also stands out about Old Scratch is the staff. They always bring a positive attitude, are quick to help, and really make the whole experience better. I’ve never had a complaint, which says a lot. Overall, Old Scratch is easily one of the best spots around for good food, good vibes, and good company

It had been well over a year since I’d last been to Old Scratch. I can’t say much has changed inside, but has the pizza always been so skimpy on ingredients? I’m sorry, but I think a pizza, especially a specialty pizza, should have more than one of each topping per slice. This one had, exactly, 7 thin slices of salami, one on each slice, and one in the center of the pizza. It had even less basil. Cheese was ok, and the sauce/crust were good. I felt it was a poor value for the money, I won’t be back.

Today was my first time having scratch and I really don’t have no complaints. I will say I expected the pizza maybe to be a bit bigger. But what I will say is they give me more the quality over quantity type of feel. Which I honestly don’t mind, because the freshness and the taste were just sooooo good. It’s more on the thinner side of pizza, but packed with flavor and topping. I’d comeback forsure, maybe dine in next time since they have a nice little bar set up!

Old Scratch Pizza delivers a vibrant and engaging dining experience, making it a solid choice for pizza lovers. The atmosphere is undeniably lively, creating a fun and energetic backdrop for enjoying a meal.
One of the standout qualities is the staff’s patience, particularly appreciated by first-time visitors who might be overwhelmed by the menu choices. They take the time to explain options and make recommendations, which is a significant plus.
The crust is a talking point; it’s packed with flavor, showcasing a unique blend of tastes. However, it could benefit from a bit more crispness to achieve that perfect textural balance. The sauce and ingredients, on the other hand, are undeniably fresh, contributing to a high-quality pizza experience.
A notable feature is their constantly rotating beer tap selection. This ensures that each visit offers a different and exciting beverage experience, catering to those who enjoy exploring various craft beers.

Old scratch is our first pick for a spontaneous night out. All pizzas – but especially their margherita – are consistently delicious and it’s clear they take pride in their house-made sauce and dough. We love trying their seasonal veg specials, especially the street corn that comes back each summer. Parking at this location is minimal but we’ve never really had a problem squeezing in on the street. You order at the counter and choose your own seating, but I love that they avoid the awkward food-in-hand shuffle around a busy restaurant by metering the food line during busy nights. Sometimes lines can be long on warm weekend nights, but once you order, you’re guaranteed to have a table. We always enjoy bringing our out-of-town guests to try (in our opinion) the best pizza Dayton has to offer.

In town for the night and decided to try here for dinner. It was fantastic! I got the Angry Bee Keeper with a side of ranch… YUM!! I also tried their pimento cheese with hot honey and cracker and Pilsner, both were wonderful! Very much enjoyed my meal here.
