Village Point Parlor

Nestled on Main Street in the historic village of Hayesville, Ohio, Village Point Parlor is a family‑run pizza restaurant that blends small‑town charm with gourmet flavors. The brick‑faced façade opens onto a bright dining room where reclaimed wood tables, exposed‑brick walls, and vintage neon signs create a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Chef‑owner Marco Rossi hand‑stretches each dough daily, using a wood‑fired oven that reaches 800°F to deliver a crisp, leopard‑spotted crust. Signature pies include the “Hayesville Harvest” topped with locally sourced apples, caramelized onions, and smoked Gouda, and the classic “Midwest Margherita” featuring fresh basil from nearby farms and buffalo mozzarella. A rotating seasonal menu adds creative options such as the “Pumpkin Sage” in autumn and the “Berry Balsamic” summer pizza. The Parlor also serves a curated selection of craft beers from Ohio breweries like Great Lakes Brewing and Fat Head’s, as well as a small wine list highlighting regional vintages from Hocking Hills Winery and Troutman Vineyards. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., the restaurant offers take‑out, delivery, and a cozy indoor patio for al fresco dining in the warmer months. Prices range from $12 for a personal pie to $22 for a large family‑size, making it an affordable spot for families, couples, and groups. Friendly staff are happy to recommend pairings, accommodate gluten‑free crusts, and host private parties in the back room. Parking is free in the adjacent lot, and the location is a short walk from the historic Hayesville Train Depot and the scenic Ohio River Trail, perfect for a post‑meal stroll.
