Old-school pizza joint with roomy booths famous for double-crust pizza with homestyle sauce.

This has become our favorite pizza place! We like to sit in the cozy bar area cuddled up in a booth. The cocktail list is impressive, they are known for their Long Island Iced Tea, though I settled for a glad of Cabarnet Sovignon., which was delicious. My husband had an IPA which was also tasty.
We ordered the house salad, medium size to share. The portion was way more than the two of us could eat. Fresh shredded cheese and the house salad dressing made this dish hard to push away!
We had to save room for the deep dish Godfather pizza. We ordered a medium and found again, the size was way more than we needed for just the two of us.
Karmen was our server, she was attentive and patient with us as we looked over the menu. The place was so packed by the time we left and with good reason!
Best pizza in the Fort!

I really thought this was going to be one of the best in the area. I was a bit disappointed and I brought 2 pies thinking it wasn’t going to be enough. It wasn’t like the NY style I was hoping for. The pizza was good, it had plenty of cheese and it was pretty fat/ thick so I got full fast. The disappointment was that it wasn’t foldable like a thinner crust and it was a bit doughy. My stepson and daughter was like where is the pepperoni . It was mostly hidden under neath all the cheese, I prefer to be on top like most pizza shops do. So even though it tasted good it was just average pie. Maybe it was because there were just busy or it’s just the way it was made. There is one spot that was wood fired and I wanted to try but there hours close early- there review was average and some ssid it was made sloppy. Who knows, I’m sure they have other great food here but the pizza it be a while before trying again. It’s still a place to check out if in the area.

Definitely fork and knife pizza. Thickest pizza I’ve had in Fort Wayne for sure. They do things a little different though, crust, sauce, toppings, then cheese. So it’s almost like a Chicago deep dish pizza but not as deep dish.

Okay I wasn’t skeptical going in about how great this pizza was. However now I am to a certainty that it is in fact the best pizza I have ever had. Fort Wayne, IN is filled full of great food places as an overall I believe this pizza and this location is one of the best if you are a foodie. The pizza probably weighs 8 lbs for a medium it’s crazy. It’s enough pizza that 3 grown men who were hungry set down to eat 2 mediums and left with a full box of pizza and had trouble walking. If there was 10 stars available I would give it. Every time I come back to Fort Wayne for the rest of my life this will be the spot I eat dinner at least once a week. Staff was great, owner was very chill. They kept my drink full which is great. It’s not just a 1-1 type of thing if another staff member passed by you they will fill your drink as well. Wonderful place to go. 10/10 recommend.

This is the best pizza. I’ve had the best pizza in Chicago and this pizza beats them all. The sauce is a zing, the crust, buttery. There is so much cheese on these pizzas it makes your jaw tired after chewing. Best pepperoni in the state.
The guy who took my order was great, you can tell he enjoys his job. Everyone there seems happy.
They also gets points for having Three Floyd’s on tap.

The West Jefferson Oley’s has so much to offer! Yes, of course they have the best deep dish outside of Chicago, but thats just the tip of the iceberg. All of their dishes are made with an attention to flavor that you just can’t find anywhere else. The atmosphere is cozy, and inviting. Maybe you’re not looking for a full, delicious Italian meal Maybe you would just like a great appetizer and an amazing cocktail, if that’s the case, then you’d be a fool to go elsewhere. This place truly is one of a kind in all the best ways!

I don’t say this lightly. This legitimately maybe some of the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. And I’m kind of a pizza snob. Every time I come through town now, which is not often enough, I’m about to get a couple of these pizzas to go. They have an option to get half baked pizza so you can take them home and put them in your freezer then Cook them later.. I will be doing that, For sure.
About the pizza itself. I just got Pepperoni. But I believe that if a pizza place can pull off a really good pepperoni, they can do anything. The crust is a really good pan style crust, Chewase and taste homemade. The sauce, pepperoni and cheese combination is the perfect flavor combination. I can’t put my finger on it. I just know that it’s just right.
If you’re ever within the area, please go here. You will not regret it. I will definitely be someone who comes back here time and time again until I can’t anymore. Also, the pizza reheats in the microwave or the oven.
10 out of 10. Would recommend.

If you love pizza, or want the best pizza in the Fort Wayne area, Oley’s Pizza is you place!
Oley’s Pizza is by far some of the best pizza we have ever had! While their deep dish is very much like Chicago Style, you do not have the Chicago Style wait!
Being a small place, we didn’t have high expectations for their cocktails. But let me tell you, their cocktails are on point! Their old fashioned was excellent! The burned brown sugar on the orange slice is a really great look, taste, and aroma!
The house salad was excellent, and we all enjoyed the house dressing. It is like Italian dressing with some unexpected sweetness! It’s a definite must have.
Pizza: we had the Oley’s deluxe and made some substitutions which was absolutely no problem.
Our friend got the Italian beef sub, and it was also phenomenal! They also got the margarita pizza, and as you can see in our pictures they are not shy with the basil!
In conclusion, would we drive 2 hours from Detroit for this pizza? YES!!
Would we recommend Oley’s Pizza? HECK YES
You need Oley’s Pizza in you life. Do whatever you can to try it!

Good ratings because pizza was good. Nice flavor and even though it was a busy Saturday the online time matched when it was done exactly which many don’t do today so good for them. Places like this are worthy of support. You might miss this just driving but that would be your loss. Definitely worth it.

The food was good, but they just really raised their prices to the point we will not be back. We got a large deluxe deep dish pizza ($49.45), an order of Buffalo Wings ($17.25) and four soft drinks ($3.50 each). The total bill for a pizza, wings and pop was over $103 with tax and tip!!!!
