Pickerington's pizza options run from red-sauce comfort rooms to a New York-style counter and one kitchen that puts chicken tikka on a pie. None of it needs Columbus-style party cut to earn its place. Here is what actually holds up in this suburb, plain crust to specialty topping.

Pizza Cottage runs on plain, dependable pies, and the record is consistent on that point: the pizza is the order, full stop. The fettuccini Alfredo and other pasta entrees draw more mixed reactions, so newcomers should stick with a pizza and treat everything else as a side thought. A no-frills, family-friendly stop for a quick weeknight dinner.

MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub covers more ground than its name lets on, with a happy hour built around Huckleberry Margaritas, Southwest Rolls, and a Banh Mi Flatbread that stretches the menu past straight pizza. The Chicken Tortilla Soup and MacKenzie Pasta round out a group-friendly room that works for a casual dinner as much as an after-work stop.

Cardo's Pizza & Tavern is a regulars' room, the kind of place friends bring friends because it is always busy and the pepperoni pizza is a known quantity. The double sausage pizza draws occasional complaints about topping accuracy, so it is worth confirming the order at pickup. Priced for a casual, no-reservations night with a crowd.

Grapevine Pizza & Cafe pitches itself squarely at families, with free popcorn at the table and chicken tenders sized right for kids alongside a pizza the record calls genuinely good. Fried mushrooms are a real side worth ordering. Online ordering runs pricier than calling in directly, so takeout customers do better dialing the counter.

Pizzeria New York

Pizzeria New York earns its name with a white pizza and garlic knots that read as legitimately New York style rather than a regional imitation, and delivery orders come through reliably with meatballs as a worthwhile add. Execution has been inconsistent on individual pies at times, but the room's regulars keep coming back for the style itself.

Beyond Dough Pizza takes the biggest swing on this list with a Chicken Tikka Pizza that lands with real flavor and restrained heat, plus a thin-crust Supreme Pizza that holds its own against more traditional toppings. Service is fast enough for a lunch break. The record shows real disagreement on quality, so consistency is worth watching.
