Pizza Oven

Pizza Oven, located at 320 West State Street in the heart of Alliance, Ohio, has been Stark County’s favorite pizza joint since 1956. Founded by Joe and Georgia DiPietro, the family‑owned restaurant still crafts every item from scratch. Walk inside and you’ll see the glowing brick ovens that give the signature rectangle‑cut pizza its crisp edge and perfectly blistered cheese pull. Choose from classic red‑sauce, white, or specialty pies topped with fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, or seasonal vegetables. The menu also boasts their legendary broasted chicken—pressure‑cooked for a juicy interior and a crunchy crust—available as individual dinners, king‑size portions, or party barrels that can feed a whole block. Don’t miss the pepperoni rolls, soft dough pockets packed with thick‑cut pepperoni, a true Stark County staple that disappears in minutes. For pasta lovers, baked ziti and broccoli alfredo are made from scratch and finished in the oven for a comforting, cheesy finish. The interior blends retro diner charm with modern lighting; red‑checkered booths sit beside a wall of memorabilia celebrating seven decades of community service. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Pizza Oven offers fast online ordering, quick pickup, and delivery from the Alliance location. Prices are family‑friendly, with combo meals that feed a crowd without breaking the bank. Throughout 2026 the restaurant runs its 70th‑anniversary giveaways, featuring daily discounts and surprise menu items announced on Instagram @pizzaovenohio and Facebook. The staff, many of whom are second‑generation DiPetros, greet guests by name and keep the line moving. Free parking is available behind the building, and the location sits just a block from the historic Alliance train depot, making it a convenient stop for commuters. Whether you’re a local craving a nostalgic slice or a traveler exploring Ohio’s small‑town food scene, Pizza Oven delivers handcrafted flavor, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
