Pie of the Tiger

Nice hole-in-the-wall pizza spot situated in the back of Short North Tavern. I walked in at 4:58 and knew it was my time to shine when the guy behind the back door lit up the little sign and pushed out the POS system he had on a little bar cart. I ordered the margherita and 15 minutes later came out the guy with a smile on his face and an 8 inch pizza box in his hand.The smell of the box when I opened it in my car brought tears to my eyes, it smelled pesto-y and garlicky and absolutely delicious. I took a bit of it when it was piping hot and all the cheese fell off in a wet sloppy mess so I cursed my impatience and waited 5-10 minutes before trying again. The pesto was really bright and flavorful, and the fresh mozz and ricotta really put it over the top and made it that much more decadent. The crust was also fantastic, Detroit style with the crispy edges is my preferred style. Only note was that they should have used low moisture mozz instead of the fresh stuff because all the cheese on top of the fresh tomato made it super wet and goopy. Flavors were excellent though. Will definitely be back for more, maybe with a friend next time!

Sort of difficult to find and less than friendly service, but the pizza was really good! I wish there were more toppings considering the price, but the crust was phenomenal.

Great Detroit style pizza spot + laid back bar with affordable drink prices and nice bartenders!!!

If the pizza isn't like this, I don't want it.I visited Pie of the Tiger for the first time recently, most likely because it's hidden inside of the Short North Tavern.I stopped in for drinks on a game day and made a mental note to come back for some 'za the next time I was in the mood.I am so glad I did! I went with the Margherita and was absolutely not disappointed with my choice. It was fully loaded with gooey goodness, delicious pesto sauce, tomatoes, and mounds of ricotta and mozzarella? cheese. It only comes with four slices but honestly each slice is basically a meal for me. I saved the rest for later and even the crust was still crispy and delicious when reheated in the toaster oven.I don't eat pizza very often but I probably won't risk wasting a pizza night anywhere else in the future. Thanks so much, Pie of the Tiger! This is what ninja turtle dreams are made of.

By far one of the best pizza spots I've had in Columbus, super tasty and high quality. I grew up in Ohio and this pizza is insane !

There's the scoop. This pizza spot is technically a pop-up inside of one of my favorite bars in the Short North, the Short North Tavern. I sure hope it stays considering how often I drink there and how often I realize I need something to eat before I leave. I've had nibbles of friend's pizzas but I recently got my own with a friend and was able to get the full experience. We got the cheese pizza and holy cow it was good and a large portion. They call it a mix between Sicilian and Detroit style pizza and it comes in four big slices. We only finished about half of it and saved the rest for the following day. I loved that the sauce was on top and the garliciness (is that a real word?) was prominent. The crust had a bit of a crunch to it (my favorite) and we were both extremely satisfied.I highly recommend and will definitely be having it again and plan to explore their pizza menu further.

I am on a pizza roll lately! The best pizza I have had in Columbus. Perfect amount of cheese, pesto was an unexpected treat, and the crust is unreal.

One of my favorite pizza spots in the city. My favorite Detroit style in the city!Love this place! All the flavors are so fresh and lovely and wonderful!

We decided to go with classic toppings (pepperoni,sausage,banana peppers) rather than any specialty pies. So my review is based on that. Nice dense flavorful pizza. Exactly what I expected. Also another thing I noticed, I'm pretty sure POTT is owned by Yellow Brick. Yellow brick bought their Chicago deep dish recipe from a guy named Lou Tristano who had a shop in Grove City years ago. Lou's recipe is killer. Well, to me POTT tastes exactly like the Tristano's pie (now owned by YB) just in a different shape. That's not a complaint at all. Just an observation. Good pizza for sure

Pizza was good Service was good Ambience was cool too I had the margarita chicken pizza
