Mary's Pizza

Best pizza in the entire world. Wish it was in Florida now that I unfortunately moved here.

Tucked away in what looks like used to be a garage in the small town of Lisbon, OH is Mary's Pizza. My fiancé grew up eating this pie and I've heard time upon time how good it is. You have to call ahead because it takes about 45 minutes to make, but the friendly staff will have it ready for you to pick up in a quick in and out when ready. They also have shirts you can buy with the logo on them. The pizza is definitely unique, a tick crusted Ohio Valley style (so the cheese is added after it's cooked in the oven and melts on top) with more of a pasta sauce rather than a traditional pizza sauce. Personally, I thought this sauce was one of the best sauces I have had on a pizza; it was slightly sweet and cooked with ground sausage and beef which added a depth to the flavor. Some pieces of meat were too large for my liking, but from what I've heard it's chef dependent. They also didn't skimp out on the amount of sauce. Now, if you like a traditional light tomato pizza sauce, this is probably not the pizza for you. As someone who prefers a traditional or thinner crust, this crust was much too thick for my liking. This was more of a focaccia style, but unlike Detroit style that is pan fried, this is just thick and crunchy. The flavor was okay, but was somewhat lacking. Lastly, the cheese. If you've never had Ohio Valley style pizza, it's definitely different than anything you've had before. First of all, they use provolone rather than mozzarella. Second, the cheese isn't baked on the pizza, it's added on top of the hot pizza fresh out of the oven so it melts on top. So if it doesn't appear completely melted, that's because it isn't. This makes it seem a little thicker on top, it also hardens faster. We didn't eat this totally fresh so the cheese was a little hard, but it would have been better if we ate it in the car. Overall, this was a good slice. I could only eat one because of how thick it was and hearty the sauce was, but it just wasn't my preferred slice of pizza. If you like a thick crust or the Ohio Valley style, this is the pizza for you.

Best pizza around hands down. They have a sweeter sauce as their regular style and also a more acidic rustic sauce if asked for. Granted being in the Ohio valley there is a lot of great pizza places here this place really shines. I've been eating here for well over 20 years and will continue to do so as long as I live in the area.

First time visiting as I'm in town for work. Ordered a Mary's W/ Everything except mushrooms and I think my pizza weighs about 3-4.5 lbs. figured since I missed lunch I'd be able to eat half a normal pizza. Not this thing. Two slices and I've got to take a break. Think I have enough for a midnight slice and breakfast and lunch tomorrow.

If this is what Mary's Pizza is coming to I would just as soon buy a pizza in a box at the grocery store and cook it at home. Mary is rolling over in her grave if you're trying to say this is what she used to bake. The sauce and the toppings were all good, but what you call dough I think I was eating biscotti. I needed a steak knife to cut through the bottom 1/8 inch of the dough. I wasn't a little disappointed, I was greatly disappointed.

If the whole tomato pizza doesn't sell you, the hardworking staff will. Keith is a gem! You can't get pizza like this for the price anywhere else, it's a family tradition for almost everyone in Lisbon.

We ordered pizza when staying at Postcard Beaver Creek because they recommended it. It did not disappoint! The sauce was very sweet and paired well with the provolone. My boyfriend had the gluten free crust and I had the thick crust. Next time we go to Postcard Cabins, we will be trying the thin crust for sure. The onion rings were a large portion and remained crispy for two whole days!

BestPizzaEver.Well a tie with nicks pizza in wellsville. Wish the hours were more normal.

Great food!! I got a sausage sandwich and my hubby got the wings!!! Busy place for a reason!!!

In town for 40 year SHS reunion from A2, Michigan. Mary's pizza retains the same flavor and quality as in 1983. Difficult to find this in todays market. The sauce is just sweet enough, with generous cheese over the ordered toppings. Dough done just right. Steve continues the tradition set by his grandmother, Mary.This is pizza that is not found elsewhere. Pepperoni rolls and focaccia sandwiches also excellent.
