Papa Dino's Pizzeria

I'm always skeptical when trying new pizza / Italian places in tourist towns. This place did NOT disappoint. Holy moly was their cuisine the most solid I've had in a long time. The parking lot was my first clue that this was going to be good because it was packed, customers were filling every seat and for good reason!!!We got the garlic knots, fried ravioli, penne with chicken and red sauce and a calzone with chicken, jalapeños and pineapple. The knots were perfectly baked with a little crisp and a good chew. No sauce needed because the garlic butter and parm on these bad boys packed a seriously unbeatable flavor. Dipping in marinara just made it even better.The fried ravioli was better than any chain restaurant I've ever had. Crispy on the outside and warm with a good cheese pull on the inside. OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS. The penne was served with a real grilled chicken breast. Not any of that weird pre cut frozen stuff you typically get with Italian restaurants. ITS THE REAL DEAL!!!the calzone was absolutely perfect. Cheese was perfectly melted on the inside and plenty of toppings were stuffed in that amazing pocket of dough and crusted with parm and butter!!!! AMAZING!!! I can't wait for our next trip out here so we can come back and try more of the menu!

A really fun pizza place for the family. Ample free parking leads you to the big outdoor dining area with tables and chairs to enjoy your pizza. Fun barstool seats and bar decor. Inside there is large selection of craft beer and sodas. Something for everyone beverage wise. Lots of cold beer, colas, and energy drinks. The pizza was pretty good, a little saucy/messy for me, I'd get a simpler pizza the next time. Wings were also decent but very saucy. Atmosphere and service were excellent. Order inside and they bring it out to your table with plates and napkins. A great place to go after a day exploring.

This wood fired pizza was FANTASTIC! The beverage selection was huge- even included a beer cave to explore. Local wines, fancy beer and all the beer staples were available too. The garlic knots were ginormous ! Delish! The marina was yummy as well. Actual crushed garlic on the knots - NOT garlic powder! We'll be back...a lot! So nice to see the communities in our "backyard" thriving. I hope they enclose the patio for late fall/ mild winter day use! We brought home almost a full pizza. We had ordered 2 mediums for 4 of us. The medium was a large at most places. (And 1 of the 4 of us is a football player with a huge appetite!)

A couple of years ago, South Bloomingville was a gas station, a bar, and a couple of houses. We stopped at the pizza place, and they have a really nice set up there.They have a great outdoor eating area, they have nice handmade pizzas. They got a good selection of food and drinks there.The lady who took the order was friendly, and she explained the menu so she knows her stuff. I got a cowboy pizza with the jalapeños cause I like the spicy, and I got my kiddos a cheese pizza and they enjoyed it too. They have some really nice specialty root beer there too, and my kiddos really liked it.

Hands down best pizza around. We got the meat lovers and it was very good. The pizza came out very fast too. Only taking around 7 minute to receive. Would definitely recommend stopping into this place if you are in the area.

We called ahead and it was only 45 minute wait which considering it was a Friday night was really reasonable. The drive back to the cabin was 15 minutes but the pizza was still hot and amazing! We got a supreme, meat lovers, Hawaiian and a pepperoni and we loved them all. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Tried them when we were at Hocking Hill Tree Houses. Pizza and salads were excellent and so was the service. Very friendly staff.

Absolute gem of a place! Perfect one stop shop if you're staying in the area. Delicious, fresh wood fire oven pizza with other appetizers such as salad and wings. They have a little wine and beer shop too with endless options from beer to local wine and even N/A drinks. 5 star service as well, everyone that worked there was so sweet and took pride in what they do. Would 100% come back. They have a couple tables inside and a nice sizable patio outside.

Papa Dino's food is definitely five star. We hosted a group of nineteen family members to kick off a reunion of a few days. PD's pizzas, garlic knots, and family fries went well with the drinks we selected. There was even a gluten-free crust option. The food was hot out of the oven and didn't cool long before it was eaten on the covered front porch. Papa Dino's is a takeout, meaning that we should think of it as a picnic spot. They do provide portajohns but there is no water for handwashing or complimentary to drink. The staff was very helpful and guided us through the menu selections of this newly-opened place. They had one of the biggest business days of their operation the day before our arrival. Unfortunately they ran out of chicken (except for wings) which narrowed our pizza choices a bit. They might learn how to resupply quickly so future dining may not be a problem.

This is honestly the second best pizza I've had outside of New York; topped only by White Post Farms in Tamworth, New Hampshire; The crust was cooked perfectly, the sauce wasn't too sweet, and the cheese was perfect; the garlic knots were great, and the Frank's Original hot wings were amazing! Add in the fact that they sell wine and beer at the same price as big box stores in the area; this is probably the best place to eat anywhere near Hocking Hills! Don't miss out on this gem. // the service and staff were also absolutely impeccable, we'll hopefully get a chance to eat here again before heading back to New York.
