The dewey's pizza Story
In 1992, Dewey Strite opened a small pizza kitchen in Worthington, Ohio with a single conviction: that a truly great dewey's pizza starts with exceptional ingredients and genuine care. What began as a neighborhood favorite quickly earned a reputation across United States for pizza that felt like home — warm, honest, and unforgettable.
The deweys philosophy has never changed. Every dough is hand-stretched. Every sauce is made from scratch. Every dewey's pizza that leaves our kitchen reflects the same passion Dewey poured into that very first pie. Today, our locations across the region carry that same spirit forward — one slice at a time.
- Hand-stretched dough crafted fresh every morning
- Signature sauce recipes passed down since 1992
- Premium, locally sourced toppings and cheeses
- Stone-fired ovens for the perfect crust every time
- Community-rooted, family-inspired values
