Oley’s Pizza

Oley’s is fun! Chicago Style pizza is good and we always get a big salad too to make it easier on your stomach ;) the bread knots are a must try. There is to wait a bit but the atmosphere is so warm that even the kids don’t mind! They also have San Pellegrino water!

I don’t eat Oley’s as much as I should. Moving to southwest Fort Wayne, I will probably be eating more. Hands-down…the best pizza in town. I’ve never had anything else other than the pizza, but I don’t want to. I’ve also only had the double-​crust, which is great. You will need a fork for this pizza, and don’t be surprised if you can only eat 2 pieces. A medium pizza feels as heavy as 2 large pizzas. I have yet to eat inside, but carry-​out is excellent. Give yourself plenty of time, especially on Friday & Saturday night, as they are very busy. Keep up the great work Oley’s.

Very good deep dish pizza very small place was crowed on Friday best pizza in fort wayne

One of the BEST pizza places in Fort Wayne! Love their Chicago Style

This review is coming to you from an avid pizza lover. Moreover, I am a Chicago style in the Chicago vs New York style so I may be a little biased. That being said, this place is incredible. From the food to the atmosphere to the service. We started off with the garlic knots which were absolutely delicious. (Side note: they’re almost more delicious cold the next morning…) We also ordered a deep dish stuffed pizza, an Oley’s favorite, and it more than exceeded expectations. For a pizza to be great it needs to start with great crust and with deep dish I think it’s sometimes hard to get a crust that isn’t reminiscent of cardboard. The crust was perfect, the toppings weren’t too heavy for the structure and were most importantly fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was perfect. It’s the pizza parlor that has been around since anyone can remember with low lighting, wood panels and intimate booths. Probably the best feature, though, was the service. Lovely was our service and she more than lived up to her name. We smiled all through dinner and ended up moving to the bar just to laugh with her some more when dinner was through. So glad we picked this spot can’t wait to go back!

Amazing food and great service! Local restaurant with amazing cheese bread and pizza. Would definitely recommend!

Decent pizza. The dough is too sweet for my taste and the pizza is too heavy. The deep dish didn’t impress me. It seems like everybody in Fort Wayne says to come here and I don’t quite understand why. I mean, it wasn’t bad, but didn’t live up to the hype.
Atmosphere: Décor hasn’t been updated in probably 30 years. I know people go for the pizza, not the décor, but I still feel it’s worth saying.

Wow— the pizza was awesome. We had the Florentine double crust and managed to eat 1 piece each and take the rest home. There were pounds of cheese. The bread sticks were good, nothing spectacular, with a very tasty cheese sauce. Our only complaints were a somewhat un-​convivial and un-​attentant waitress and a glass of the «cheapest» house dry white wine for $ 7.75! The prices are not on the menu and the waitress didn’t know anything about them. And it wasn’t even a good pour.

This is a great Chicago pizza. But they seem overwhelmed with customer service. Last time we ordered we waited an extra hour because the person on the phone didn’t get our order to the cook. It was just gone. And they promised us a free pizza next time. Nope, we weren’t in the system. My husband loves this place, but until they take care of customers… no thanks.

The deep dish offering from this place is my favorite pizza in Fort Wayne. Now there are some people out there that say that deep dish pizza can’t really be considered pizza. Those people are misguided and sad. Anyways, the rest of the menu is pretty standard Italian fare. But you should probably just order a deep dish pizza, ok?

$ 8 lunch pizza buffet WITH drink?!? Shut up and take my money.
Pizza is surprisingly well above average, and I really liked the sandwiches too.
The food is generally a bit heavy, but it’s a pizza buffet. I’m not stopping here in between training sessions for a marathon. The décor is definitely «no frills» but I’m only there for the cheap, good eats.
My coworkers tell me of some kind of monster 10 lb pizza you can call in and order. They apparently have been living off one for most of the year.

Honestly, I’ve had Chicago pizza, and I would take Oley’s any day of the week over it. The double crust deluxe pizza is just full of toppings, cheese, and flavor. You shouldn’t be able to eat more than two pieces — this stuff will fill you up!
Just to note this place is worth the wait — once seated, you will have to wait at least 40 minutes for your food. Your patience will pay off, I promise!
On a side note, the salads and breadsticks are good too!

In town on business and wanted something to go to take to my hotel. Ordered the oley’s deluxe roll. Wow is all I have to say. I wish they gave a bigger sauce dipping but still 5 stars.

Oley’s would get 3.5 stars from me. The pizza is very good, and pretty close to authentic Chicago style. My only gripe is with the sausage — I would prefer it to be pattied rather than crumbled, but what can you do?

Fun and cozy atmosphere. Excellent food. Decent prices, but very slow. Thank goodness for good company or the three hours we were there would have been awful.

Some of the best pizza in town and arguably the best local pizza place. I love their deep dish Chicago style pizza. It has so many topping crammed into it. It is amazing. Not for the health nut for sure!

OMG. I am tired from eating and need a nap. It is absolutely Fantastic here. Deep dish Soprano with breadsticks. 100% worth the bill. I will be back and that’s a fact!!!

If I could give negative stars I would. …DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY. Tables not cleaned and food crumbs everywhere. Staffwas rude. Waitress had to be asked to clean off the table. Then left silverware from previous people and straw. GROSS NEVER AGAIN. So worth the drive to the BEST OLEYS on Colisseum and Lake.

I like the bacon club pizza but single crust. We also got double crust and we liked the single crust better. We also had some garlic knots with cheese dipping sauce and the dipping sauce was really good. The service was really slow and they forgot one of our items but the food was really good.

I cannot say enough about Oley’s Pizza.
They are known for their double crust pizza (crust, cheese, crust, toppings, more cheese). However, their single crust is phenomenal as well. Try the house dressing — dip your pizza in it.
One of the better kept secrets is their sandwiches. I like the hot ham and cheese. They use the same cheese as their pizza and they put it on a garlic buttered bun. Again, dip in house dressing and you won’t be sorry.
Everything tastes wonderful. You can tell that they don’t cut any corners.
They have a cozy bar in the back room that feels like you are down in someone’s basement. It reminds me of a place you would find in Bloomington or another college town. Nice cold beer to go with your pizza.
The service is wonderful and friendly as well. This place is definitely always on my list when I visit Fort Wayne
