Beavercreek Pizza Dive

Great service, great pizza. Glad I skipped Marion’s and came here. It’s like a fantastic cross between Dayton and east coast pizza. Salad was good too. Highly recommend.

We were a bit spoiled where we were before, and it took some time to find really good pizza in Beavercreek. This is the best we’ve had so far. The crust was crisp where it was supposed to be crisp and chewy where it was supposed to be chewy. Also, the toppings were fresh, not processed and precut. The only thing that keeps me from giving a higher rating are the weird hours of operation. What pizza place closes at 9PM on a weeknight? Seriously?

The pizza from this place ROCKS. While I am just inside their delivery area, I would make the drive to order their pizza before I ever go back to Dominos, Papa Johns, Jet’s or any other place in the Beavercreek area. The crust is perfect. Chewy, stands up without wilting over and has that great bottom that is perfectly browned and tasty. The sauce is equally good.
No skimping on the cheese either. I don’t know for certain, but my guess is that the cheese is the real deal. Stringy, tasty and so very delightful.
As for the toppings, you can put FRESH MUSHROOMS or canned. Myself, I cannot imagine eating a pizza with canned mushrooms. The pepperoni is the real deal. Not the big round slices you see on the other pizza places in town. Small, perfectly sliced and fairly thick piece of pepperoni adorn the pizza.
Just put them on speed dial on the phone.

My newly situated little family and I recently moved to Beavercreek (my parents have been here for years) and have been looking for a new pizza joint. This pizza place is located in Beavercreek ( Unilocal says Dayton) a couple of miles from my home. It’s situated in a small lot with a decent number of parking spots for patrons.
I find the pizza sizes’ names to largely misleading. What exactly is a Bambino? Why is there no Large? And are you really a New York style pizza place? Why is it so easy to spend $ 50 on TWO pizzas here? I digress. I don’t know the answers to more than half of these questions. What I do know is that the pizza is good. Average for the area. The crust? It’s what I go to Beavercreek Pizza Dive for. The crust complements the tangy/​sweet red sauce well as it’s lathered with a sweet garlicky blend.
H and I haven’t gone here for the All You Can Eat yet, but I’m sure we will soon. I will note though, that the place is average sized, but can feel small quickly.
One caveat is that this place closes SOOOO early. It closes at 9pm! I’m from New England so I’m used to pizza places closing at 2−3am.

The Italian was very good, the supreme was ok. The crust was the best part of the pizza, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. We will go back and try others.

I was born in Rome Italy, this place definitely reminds me of home .I eat here every chance I get love the garlic butter and the $ 5lunch specials, service is always excellent great people!

Cannot mention the famous pizza chain (under a bridge in Brooklyn), these guys are close! Fresh dough, slow-​simmered sauce, great cheese blend. If they were to offer sauerkraut topping, they would be spot on a Germanic pizzeria in NYC! Looking for a traditional NY giant slice pie? These guys have it! Great pizza, good prices

Locally owned/​operated, quality food, and attentive staff.
Food:
Scratch made dough starts everyday. Style is reminiscent of classic New York City (think Joe’s Pizza of Greenwich Village), with a thin yeast risen dough, midely sweet red sauce, and lots of delicious mozzarella. Crust is baked to perfection during a short ride on the conveyor oven, and is finished on the other side with a rub with a house made sweet garlic butter.
The chef/​owner has a number of novel pie’s including the Bomber, Greek, and BLT just to name a few. The bomber is a a meatlovers dream; layers of all things meat (sausage, pepperoni, bacon, and ham) with a few sliced banana peppers, and copious amounts of mozzarella are sandwiched between two rounds of dough, and coated with glaze of sweet butter. Each slice is a meal in itself, and sure to resolve even the most extreme hunger pains. The Greek and BLT feature a standard pie, which is topped with greens and different sauces after it rolls through the oven.
In addition to the pie’s, plan on enjoying some of the pretzel bites or bread bites. These treats are a different take on the standard breadsticks found elsewhere. These dishes include a choice of dipping sauce. Id recommend opting for the spicy nacho cheese, it wont disappoint!
Their menu also includes other treats, such as sandwiches and calzones the size of your head!
One thing you can always be assured, is that your meal will be prepared fresh from scratch with quality products and care.
Venue:
The shop location and unassuming exterior might have you wondering it this is the right place. Rest assured, it is a hidden gem! The parking lot has space for around 15 vehicles. The restaurant features two primary dining areas, the front patio and inside. The patio offers picnic style dining with a few corn hole boards to pass the time while you pie is made fresh. Inside has about 10 tables, generally seating 4 people each. There are a few tables that seat 6 or 8. All of the tables are free standing, and could be moved to accommodate a large party. A promently featured hot bar makes possible a Monday special pizza buffet, which features almost every pie for patrons to sample.
Staff:
The restaurant generally is staffed with 5 – 8 employees. From the owner down to the cashier and everywhere between, are commited to providing the best possible customer experience. The staff also partners regularly with local schools and nonprofits to host fundraisers and give back to the local community.
Through and through, Beavercreek Pizza Dive offers quality food, family atmosphere, and community value.
Id highly recommend trying them out next time you and you family are craving quality NY style pie!

Love the selection of pizza on Monday night buffet night. If they don’t have it, they will make it.

I love the pizza buffet. I am always finding my favorite pizza then try another and that becomes my favorite. The pretzel bites are great and the spicy cheese goes so well with them. Theresa, the owner remembers me and makes me feel so welcome. The staff works together well and goes above and beyond great customer service. I have nought the cinnamon sugar pretzels and they are a wonderful treat. I have gotten the Italian sub and buffalo chicken sub also really delicious. Prices are very reasonable.

Great pizza, prices and awesome service! Our new go to spot for lunch. $ 5 for a huge slice of pizza, breadstick and a nice salad. Super friendly!

One of the best pizzas I ever had! The bomber pizza was on point and the employees were very friendly. It is a clean restaurant and great specials.

Stopped here for lunch one day when working in Dayton. I picked up their 2 slices for $ 5.00 special. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered a cheese slice and pepperoni slice. I guess I got there a little late because I got the last slice of each pie, not sure how long it had been sitting there, but figured what the heck. They heated it up, I took it back to my office and was not disappointed in the least bit.
The slices were giant, think NYC style slice! They tasted pretty darn good too. One of my tests for Pizza is that it doesn’t flop down when you try to pick it up to eat… and these slices passed the test. I could pick it up and eat it without having to hold it above my head and directing it to my mouth. It folded nicely too, just like NYC slices.
The crust was thin with a light chewy texture. The cheese, plenty of it, was tasty and the sauce also had great flavors. I will definitely go back here again if I find myself in Dayton again.

Without exaggeration, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Staff is SO kind and always happy to help it seems. Lunch deal is great, 2 slices for 5 bucks, and they’re HUGE!

Pizza is amazing! ! Great flavors and service. So many creative creations. Come out and try a slice of everything. Kid friendly!!! Indoor and out door seating.

Disclosure: did not dine in, ordered and carried out.
The place was slow, nobody was dining in when I picked up around 6 pm. The place definitely had a «dive» feel to it, but not dingy by any means. I would take the family back and dine in.
The pizzas: had two different pizzas, cheese for the kids (was free as a daily deal) and a BLT pizza.
The cheese pizza was probably the best cheese pizza I’ve ever had. Granted I rarely ever eat cheese pizza (how boring). The crust was flakey, light and crunchy. The sauce was tasty and you definitely must like garlic.
The BLT pizza was decent, nothing over the top. I’m honestly not a fan of BLT pizzas anyhow, my wife loves them. Unfortunately, the one BLT pizza my wife never stops talking about is at a place near Mt Vernon, OH which is the gold standard of BLT pizzas (to her). Luckily this BLT pizza is close to the gold standard for her. For me, I enjoyed the pizza without the extra toppings, just straight up bacon pizza, the way the good Lord intended.

Dive would be the right name alright. From the outside it looked like we were in for some trouble, but we could not have been more pleasantly surprised! We got the veggie pizza + sausage and it was delicious! The fresh flavorful ingredients coupled with the light full crust was spectacular! They also bring out yummy little balls of bread with some sweet coating that might have been honey. The crust was my favorite, idk how they got it so light and airy while still keeping the fullness, totally satisfying my ranch dipping craze. This is without a doubt out new favorite pizza place!
Would love to see them grow, for more seating for dine in customers (because the place was packed) and more non soda drinking options

I think the pizza here is the best in the area for price and service is always great. The place is always clean, they staff always greats you with a smile and great place to bring the kids. Very kid friendly.

A lot of people think pizza is like sex, even if it’s bad, it’s still good. I think of it like sex too, if I’m paying money for it, you should at least put some effort into it. (Okay, I’ve never paid for it, but I’m sure if you wanted to try out that analogy, CraigsList would be a good start).
Beavercreek Pizza Dive had great reviews on Unilocal,so naturally, being a fan of pizza and having it in the vicinity of work I went to check it out. Now, I’ve never been to New York, and outside of the more famous NY pizza chains (think Michael Scott’s favorite) I haven’t had New York style. I saw that the Pizza Dive was offering a $ 5 for 2 slices deal I decided today would be the day. I was the only person dining in during my 20 minute window and wished it had more dine in business (they deserve it). Why do they deserve it? Because they came out with 2 HUGE slices as pizza as big as the tray they gave me. The crust was crunchy, the sauce, sweet and tangy, and the toppings were delicious.
On top of everything, the folks working there were very nice and accommodating. I’m coming back soon Pizza Dive, and I’m bringing friends.

So, full disclosure here: after writing my initial (3-​star) review of Beavercreek Pizza Dive, I was contacted by Theresa – one of the owners of BPD. She appreciated my honest feedback and offered a $ 25 credit, if I’d be willing to give them another run. Far be it from me to turn down some free pizza, so I accepted!
This time around, I got our pies without the garlic/​butter glaze – one cheese and one Hawaiian (and a BLT for Jules, but we’re not counting that one). Much to my excitement, I was pleased to see some New York style pizza much closer to what I’d expect from some traditional thin crust. The proportions of cheese to sauce to crust were perfect, and the crust itself was perfect for folding. Minus the outside glaze, BPD’s pies were exactly what I’d originally hoped for.
One thing I hadn’t gotten to try earlier was BPD’s pretzels, which were an utter delight. Dense and delicious, the pretzels had just the right amount of salt and were a solid deal at 4 for $ 5. Definitely worth your money.
As you can see above, I’ve gone ahead and increased my rating of BPD to 4-​stars based on all this. While the glaze still isn’t to my taste, the pizza is great without it and the pretzels were an added bonus. Plus, it’s wonderful knowing that the owners really care what you think as a customer and value your happiness.
