Enrico’s Pizza & Restaurant

Family and I really love this place! Small family owned with the family running the entire thing. Pastas are homemade as well but we can’t seem to order anything but the pizza! Not a place for you. If you are in a rush.

Best pizza in Dublin. Service can be slow and lacking but if you want authentic Italian style pizza this is the place to go.
I’d recommend take out as there isn’t much seating and they are always busy.

When we arrived and walked down the corridor we see what seems to be a family working the floor and the kitchen. There were a few older individuals (maybe 70s and 80s), individuals in their 40s and 50s, then a couple younger individuals. I felt like this was a good start, a true family owned and operated restaurant.
They cleared a table for us and we sat down. The inside was very smoky and I make a comment to my partner… he didn’t think anything of it and it wasn’t bothering him, to be honest. But, the entire restaurant seemed to be in a fog of smoke from the kitchen.
The server we had was nice, hovered a couple times where I had to ask her to come back to take our order because we weren’t ready. But she was nice and respectful. We ordered garlic bread with cheese and a pizza with multiple toppings. The garlic bread with cheese came out and it was good. It seemed to be on an open sub. Although not necessary, it would have been nice if it was served with their red sauce, especially if it’s homemade.
The pizza came out and it seemed to be between thin and thick pizza — the crust was crunchy. If I’m being honest, I really wanted to like this pizza, especially with seeing the family run business, but I didn’t care for the pizza. The crust tasted like thick cardboard to me and I really hate saying that. The toppings didn’t seem to be as fresh as other pizza places. I prefer NY style pizza… thin and foldable.
When we finished, we asked the employees at the register a few questions, which was nice. This is definitely a family owned and run pizza place. Some people might love this kind of pizza, so please try it out and see if it’s your «go-​to» pizza shop.
Note: they do not stay open late, even for pick up, and they do not deliver.

This place is a staple for us, and the place we go when we want pizza. Tip — get there when they open because the place isn’t huge and they get busy quick. They make many Italian favorites, but I have to admit I have only had the pizza and side salads. My wife doesn’t eat carbs, but she does when we go to Enrico’s. Cheap pizza and beer, who could want more.

Glad that I decided to not completely write off Enrico’s.
Since my last review… I’ve had several instances where Enrico’s product was severely underwhelming, super sauce-​y, and hard, extra thick crust. In fact, it’s been nearly a year since my last visit to this Dublin staple, because of a couple dismal pies.
I gave it one more shot. I ordered a pie to-​go, walked in, picked it up right on time, and headed home.
It was very good. I ordered it with Capacolla (fancy Italian for ‘ham’) and it really sufficed for what I wanted. I also picked up an Italian sub, which was very good, but not the best in the area.
The pizza is still a nice in between pizza. Not thin enough for a ‘St. Louis style cracker crust’, but not thick enough for Detroit, or Chicago. Right smack dab, in the middle… Ohio best.
There’s still the same old Italian Grandma’s and Grandpa’s in the back, and there’s still the kids running the front of the house. Nothing old, nothing really new. Just the same Enrico’s everyone’s used to.
**Much to my surprise: Enrico’s opens their doors for lunch. White collar workers of the area, rejoice!

Not bad but not that great. I will say that the cheese was pretty tasty, but other than that it’s nothing to rave about and I have had way better. Have to say that Arni’s is my all-​time favorite. No one even greet you when you walk up to the counter, good luck getting a «hello» from the less than friendly staff.

I went here tonight because it was close to my hotel. I wanted good pizza.
Ordered the medium «everything above» from the menu on their web site, told to wait 30 minutes. It was ready when I arrived, but they forgot I asked it be cut in slices and cut it in squares like they normally do. They did provide paper plates upon request for my carry-​out. The guy at the register was extremely nice and prompt.
Got it back to the hotel in just a few minutes and couldn’t wait. Wow, it was very good. They pretty much nailed the crust, and there were plenty of toppings.
It cost about $ 15.50 seemed reasonable. I’ll go again if I’m ever back in Dublin.

I’ve been going to Enricos for over 20 years now and it is consistently the best pizza on the northwest side! My fav is the «everything above» pizza-​sausage, mushrooms, peppers and onions. Their crust is mildly sweet and crisp-​not as thin as New York style, not as thick as pan pizza –just right!

Very awesome pizza! The place is pretty small and after having this pizza, it made me happy to see why it was so packed. This place deserves to be known. I will be back.

Average at best. Sauce tasted like pure tomato paste. I like my pizza by the slice not cut into pieces! Very disappointed!

Great PIZZA. Everything is handmade. The service is great and the food is as well. You might have to wait due to small space but its well worth the wait!!!

We have been going to Enricos since the early 80’s and it’s just as delicious now as it was then. We regularly make the drive from Reynoldsburg to Dublin (about once a week) for this pizza.
The minute we walk in we start salivating! The crust is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and made fresh daily. I love the sauce and the pepperoni. And it’s loaded with cheese. We went last night and ordered an everything above, a pepperoni and a Hawaiian and they were all amazing. My husband and my daughter talk about the double sub and how no other sub tastes like it. It has ruined us for chain pizza joints.

So so delicious. We had half pep and half everything. The crust was nice and crispy, cheese was loaded and the toppings taste so fresh! One word=Fresh!!!

My husband and I love Enrico’s pizza but we only order it once in a while because they do not deliver. We normally do Pizza night on Friday so be expected to wait a while even for a pick up. There is usually a long line of people for pick up on Friday. But it is definitely worth it.
Our favorite is anchovy, olives, sausage and extra cheese. They are a little skimpy on the cheese, we think.
I scored 4 stars just because of the wait time but the taste is worth 5 stars.

We order out EVERY Friday night here. After 6 pm be prepared to wait for dine in. Italian family run, so expect Italian attitude. Friendly but not falling all over you to get you to return. You WILL return for the pizza. We tried to order subs once, but didn’t compare to Iacanos so we just stick to pizza. Anyone who says a chain pizza is better just prefers chain pizza. One last thing: when you walk in, Mom will be tossing and dishing out salad and Pop will be washing pans! I guarantee it! Oh! And order your pizza «pie sliced» if you enjoy the traditional slices. They’ll be glad to do it! We do it so we can get an even share of the perfect bone.

By far the best pizza in Columbus. Mom and pop run… Actually whole family run. Love the tiny dining room and no frills. Canned soda, canned beer, love it! The spaghetti and meatballs are amazing. The red sauce to die for! Is the service fast? NO! But good things come to those who wait. My husband and I eat here a few times a month. They know us and treat their regulars great! I love it that they randomly close for family vacations and throw a hand written sign on the door. Gotta love small local businesses. I will continue to support this place.

After reading all the reviews I wasn’t sure what to do. Definitely a mixed bag of comments. I decided on a takeout pizza. It was ready on time and the elderly couple was in the kitchen still at 8pm prepping and cooking. The place smelled amazing too. The lady who took care of me was very polite. So far so good on all fronts.
Now to the pizza, it’s good, it’s very good. But it is no New York pizza. What it is, is hand made pizza in a great pizza oven that is old, and that old oven supplies the pizza with great flavor and a great crust. The sauce is sweet I would have preferred more but that is my opinion only. I got hot peppers and ground beef, all tastes and appears fresh. As long as this place is open I don’t see myself ordering from a large chain anytime soon.

Good pizza. 5 star pizza if you get with light cheese. Easily best in Dublin. Dewey’s is pretty good too though. Good crunchy crust and really good sauce. It would be nice if they delivered, however it seems they don’t need to in order to stay busy.

I decided to give this place a try and ordered two pizzas tonight. When I picked up the boxes, I was surprised by the weight. They are pretty dense little pizzas. The price was pretty reasonable. I didn’t care much for the taste. They were both very bland. I would rate Enrico’s about the same as a chain restaurant like Dominos. It’s not that good, but I would eat if there was nothing better to eat.

Enrico’s is almost five stars for me, but I have to give a qualifier here: if you go to Enrico’s, don’t expect it to compare to Bono or Harvest. It’s not the same kind of pizza.
Enrico’s is like. .. what Pizza Hut would taste like if Pizza Hut were GOOD. Crusty, slightly greasy but also crisp (a little too much grease for my Californian husband but he INHALED the pizza anyway and loved it), old-​school Midwestern kind of pizza done really, really well. It’s not a flavorless grease bomb that tastes like soggy cardboard. It’s what I remember from when I was a kid, in the best way possible.
You’re not really going to find unusual, gourmet combinations here. They aren’t topping their pizzas with lovingly-​roasted fennel. As much as I love creative pizza combos, sometimes, you just want (or did want, before I went vegetarian) a pizza slathered in pepperoni and sausage. I would come to Enrico’s on those nights. And yeah, I’d make the drive up to Dublin for it (not a little bit because I can pop over to Yaourt afterward for some of that bomb coconut yogurt).
The service was not overwhelmingly friendly, but was perfectly fine. It seems to be a family-​run business, so I’m not really expecting professional service levels. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious and we were taken care of, if not heartily welcomed. Slightly better service would bump it up a star, but let’s be real – we’re going back whether it gets that fifth star or not.

I decided to throw caution to the proverbial wind today and simply get in my car and drive and find someplace to eat that I hadn’t tried before. My mind turned to pizza, as it tends to, and I spotted Enrico’s. I had heard from fellow Unilocalers! and friends at work that this place was really great so I decided to go ahead and give them a try. I walked into a fairly small but nice pizza place staffed by a couple of older Italian ladies and a couple of younger workers making pizza. I ordered a small with pepperoni, anchovies, mushrooms and extra cheese.
15 minutes later I was on the road with my pizza. I did take a pic here before I left the place so you could see how the pizza looked made fresh. The extra cheese was in abundance to the point that I think next time I’d be just fine with a regular amount of cheese. Biting into the pizza was pretty good, it had a good amount of sauce, as I said the cheese was plentiful and so were the toppings. The anchovies were especially good as they were dolloped on to the pie as if they were hamburger topping as in feathered about rather than long strands of anchovies like most all other pizza places do it. I really like that style. The sauce was slightly sweet but mostly tomato tasting with a hint of oregano and spices. The pepperoni was good but fairly non-​descript and the mushrooms tasted pretty good but I would have preferred a bit more. They also tasted like they were canned and you know what, that’s just fine by me as I like how canned mushrooms taste.
My only real issue, and this is just preference, is that the crust, although delicious, is a bit too much crust for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, the pizza was very good and I devoured about a bit more than half of the small pie right away but I do prefer a bit more of a thinner crust than what Enrico’s has. The slices in the middle, being that the pie is square cut, yields a thinner, less «bread-​y» crust and those were my favorite. The crust is quite good actually and does taste homemade, not frozen, but again, just a bit thicker than I’m used to.
The value is pretty good as well, for the pie I got, a small pizza with 4 toppings for $ 13.00 flat. Now I consider that a real value considering it will yield me nearly two meals as the small is a fairly nice sized piece of pie.
This place is pretty darned good and I’m looking forward to trying their Italian sub next time. If you like a bit thicker pizza crust this place would no doubt rate at least 4 stars most likely for you. I’ll be trying this shop again for sure.

Yum! I’m slightly obsessed with pizza, but finding good pizza is not easy… I tried this for the first time and I am very happy!
I recommend adding green peppers! Delicious!

In town for the evening, and Unilocaled around to find a good pizza joint near Hilliard. So glad I did! Enrico’s is the real deal… Crispy outside crust, perfect fresh doughy middle, tomato sauce that actually tastes like tomatoes and herbs, and plenty of toppings and cheese.
It was a little on the pricey side if you are comparing to, say, Domino’s (I paid $ 17 for a large two-​topping, $ 6 for a quart of salad to accompany), but THIS AIN’T DOMINO’S… You are getting your money’s worth in quality.
Only downside is that it is ultra-​greasy, but I don’t know how you make truly delicious pizza without that factor.
