Emelio's Restaurant

Love me some Emilios!! 25 min drive is well worth it. Always perfect double pep.

12/22/2023 Some of the best pizza in Columbus! You have to get the special salad! It has crispy fried pepperoni and the best Italian dressing I've ever had! Love this place! Delicious. This pep pizza was excellent!

My new favorite Columbus Pizza, this chill bar has great prices and great tavern pizza. The char of exterior bites are spectacular and the crispy peperoni is beautiful. Both halves were fantastic, this pie was so much fun to eat and there’s a great local vibe with lots of tvs for sports too. Good space, nice and clean inside, and friendly staff make this bar super chill.

If you like slightly charred cupped pepperonis on your pizza, then this is your place!

Alright, we’re at Emelio’s, Georgesville Road—Columbus, Ohio. Old-school joint. No fancy wood-fired ovens, no imported Italian flour drama. Just classic tavern-style pizza. You walk in, you know what you’re getting—football pizza. And I mean that in the best way. Went with the cheese pizza, also tried the pepperoni, but let me say this upfront—the cheese is the move. Straight up. Simple. Powerful. That cheese/sauce combo? Punches way above its weight. Sauce is the real MVP—bold, savory, probably packed with herbs and secret magic. Cheese just rides the wave. Crust? Perfect. No joke. Not doughy, not overdone—just right. And the undercarriage? Legit. Golden brown, holds up, no flop. I ate the whole pie in one sitting. That’s how you know. No shame. No regrets. Atmosphere? It’s exactly what you’d expect. Whether you’re a sports fan, cop, or just a regular guy, this is where you post up, grab a pie, No frills. No nonsense. Just great pizza. This isn’t a Neapolitan, it’s not artisan—it’s Columbus tavern-style at its best. And you know what? It delivers. Final score: 8.4 out of 10. This is a go-to pizza. Maybe even the best in Columbus for this style.

New favorite tavern style pizza! The cracker crust is a delight. We usually order sausage and onion pizza and the single meatball side. The food is consistent and staff is super friendly. Emilio’s has a new customer for life! Peace

This place is a classic!!!! A must try if you are in the area. GREAT PIZZA! Friendly service and prompt. The everything pizza is sooooo good and I normally don’t like everything pizzas. So good!

I had the best experience working with Emelio's Catering for my wedding! I worked with Haifa to help plan everything. She always responded quickly and it was obvious she genuinely cared about delivering great service. I received several compliments regarding the food and service they provided from guests - the appetizers were especially a huge hit! During the wedding, the staff was super friendly and continuously made sure my husband and I had everything we wanted. This is by far one of the easiest vendors I have worked with - everything went flawlessly. I highly recommend them!
