Plank's Cafe & Pizzeria

I've rediscovered Planks after about a 10 year hiatus as a friend moved back to town and it's her favorite pizza. Time stands still in Planks--it's the same good ole OSU bar that it was a decade ago! The clientele is older as is the staff. It's very charming and the service can be spotty depending on how busy it is and what night of the week you go on but the food is worth it. They have a lot of blackboard daily specials as well as a soup of the day offering. The pizza is thin crust and party cut Columbus-style. It's a good experience and there's a huge lot so there's always plenty of parking. Definitely give it a try!

If you're looking for old school, this is it. The menu is expansive and blast from the past. You'll find standard sandwiches and homemade soups in addition to pizzas and fried foods. Think things your mom might've made for you anywhere between 1950 and 1980. Their crust is a sweet crust and it's thin cut Columbus style. Yes it does darken around the edges because of the sugar content. It's pretty tasty if you're in the mood for it.

I know this is Yelp but it's a nope for me at planks I paid 20 bucks for a small all the way pizza well I guess they was almost out of veggie because ain't to many on my pizza paid for extra banana peppers well y'all can count the pieces and to top it off it's was sweet who the heck uses sugar in the dough noooooooo noooooo noooo I wanted to send tor back but I was hungry oh catch the burnt up thin crust how do you burn a thin crust The pep pizza was to sweet for my husband he didn't finish it

Football with the Swiss. Amazing place and amazing service. Really like coming here and so do the Swiss food is great as well.

I'm originally from Central Ohio and was back visiting for a class reunion. The night before I was flying back to Florida, one of my friends suggested we grab dinner. There is a big private parking lot, so we didn't have to drive around looking for parking.She said Planks had the best pizza. Of course whenever anyone tells me a place has "the best," I am skeptical. Well, Planks DOES have the best pizza ! We got a large pepperoni. The thin crust was wonderful and slightly sweet thanks to the corn meal. The sauce was also slightly sweet with no acidity. Service was attentive without being pesty. My ice tea was refilled as soon as the glass reached half full.We sat in a booth and were able to watch USA basketball in the Olympics on one of the many flat screens. It was not crowded and was not loud.I will definitely be returning here when I am back in Central Ohio.

July 18 2024 Worst pizza experience, food experience in years. Went in starving left ordering elsewhere. Ordered Appetizers sweet potato fries soggy limp cold gooey dipping brown sugar cinnamon butter (sauce in description) however it was rubbery due to being cold, Garlic cheese bread barely cooked NO Garlic at all! and the sauce with for dipping taste like water!Said ow well hopefully pizza will be good NO NO NOI am a pizza connoisseur; this was not pizza I literally could not chew it was so rubbery, full of sugar, the crust was as if you baked then allowed to sit out for several days then put toppings and rebaked. This is nothing like when I was young Sorry planks i will never be back.

Ok these guys have the sweetest crust for a pizza! They put sugar in their pizza which sets them apart and makes them unique. I didn't think I would like it so much, but it's not that bad!! There are two locations; this one on Parsons and the other on S. high St. I've only ever been to the one on S High St. we dined in and had a great time. The service and food were good. The interior is what you'd expect for a pizza place but it's in German Village so it has more of a neighborhood vibe to it.Haven't been inside to the one on parsons. But my fiancé went in last night to get a to-go order and by the sounds of it, it didn't sound like a great experience. He waited more than 30min for his pizza because the bartender gave his pizza to someone else. The three servers working there, he said, were annoyed at the bartender for his lack of attention.When I first moved in down here in GV I was told to only go to the planks on High St. I see why now.We don't go often enough nor do we get pizza often, but I will say this the pizza is good!

My husband and I went to Planks for the first time yesterday. What a wonderful experience! We loved the atmosphere. The woman that took our order was so fun to talk to. The bartender was very friendly and fun. The food was out of this world. I had the special, homemade lasagna. Delicious! We live about an hour away but, we enjoyed it so much, we plan to make the trip back soon.

We ordered a large "all the way" pizza, wings, and a Italian sub. The pizza was a middle of the road pie, sweet sauce and crust that was nice for a change and a combination of toppings. The toppings were of low quality and you could taste it. Some tasted as if they were frozen diced peppers and onions thawed and slapped on the pizza into the oven, pepperoni are few and far between, you won't be impressed by planks pizza but you won't be entirely disappointed either.The sub, the sub had a nice sesame bread but the top bun was soggy and the lettuce was wilted badly and barely enough. It had pizza sauce on it which I wasn't expecting and overall is a hard pass for me.The wingsThe wings were just store bought frozen wing dings heated up. If you like a processed commercial breaded wing packed with enough sodium to kill a horse and don't mind paying 12 bucks for seven Walmart freezer section wings then by all means go ahead

Planks on Parsons looks so warm and inviting on the inside.So clean from floors to bar area. Great lighting and service.The juke box plays continually and is Fun all aroundJust a few minor differences, No Popcorn anymore. PeanutsIn the shell are provided but I miss the popcorn. Thanks COVID.They sell a lot of Pizza. Toppings are good, hot and cheesey butI avoid the sweet crust. I had a Brat, Sauerkraut and GermanPotato Salad. I will sticks Schmidt's for that from now on.
