...wait, people actually question this?

I mean, it's not nationally iconic or anything like that, but it is definitely and obviously a very specific thing. (I come from a family of Tommy's partisans.) I swear, folks come here with the idea that we're a faceless nothing and go out of their way to try to force it when it doesn't turn out that way...
Has anybody ever tried pizza from Mikey's Late Night Slice? I've never had pizza from there but my daughter and son in law say it's outstanding.

I've not gotten the opportunity to try several of those, alas.Tommy's is outstanding. Also a big fan of some other Columbus Style pizza places like Panzera's, Rubino's, Terita's and Eagles. A lot of people like Massey's and Donato's, but they're further down on the list for me.
I have and it's okay. They're basically trying to do New York style here and they do a fair job.Has anybody ever tried pizza from Mikey's Late Night Slice? I've never had pizza from there but my daughter and son in law say it's outstanding.
Sadly, there's something about the texture of their crust that I really don't like.Grandads is the standard by which all other Columbus style pizza should be judged
If you want NY style, don't go to Mikey's. Go to Cafe Napolitana on N High.
Turns out I can order from there via Grubhub, so I gave this a shot for dinner the other night. Can second this recommendation.If you want NY style, don't go to Mikey's. Go to Cafe Napolitana on N High.

2 slices for $8.00 lunch deal

One-topping 16' mushroom (about half last night, the rest for breakfast and lunch today), so, yeah.What kind did you get? I love the mushrooms they use. Beefy.
If you're downtown, the closest legit Columbus-style pizza places are probably Rubino's in Bexley, or Rotolo's or Panzera's in Grandview Heights, both about 10 minutes away. Plank's on Parsons might be a candidate, but their sauce is very sweet. There are a couple of good downtown pizza places that serve more traditional pies, including Cafe Napolitana which is outstanding pizza by the slice. I'm less familiar with Polaris, but Westerville isn't too far and Pasquale's is good as is Antonio's and Giammarco's.When I'm in Columbus, I'm usually either at Polaris or downtown. Any good Columbus-style pizza joints in either area?
Other than Donatos. I can be at one of those in five minutes if I can hit all the lights green.
looks like Jets from the picture… but I love Jets so…Anthony's Detroit is my #1 overall.
Not the biggest fan of Ginther but kudos to him for supporting this ideaArena District DORA would allow fans to drink, shop, and stroll | NBC4 WCMH-TV
Columbus City Council has begun the process of establishing a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area — or DORA — in the Arena District.
The DORA would allow residents to buy alcoholic beverages at participating bars and restaurants, then take the drinks with them as they walk around the area.

Vinegar is not BBQ
BBQ in Columbus starts and ends with Ray Ray’s. There is no other discussion about it.I'm a Texas BBQ fan but the vinegar based sauce is a Carolina thing.
Look I love BBQ - but Ray Ray's (best in town IMO) is $26/# of brisket. City is still $19/#. City leverages purchasing a heck of a lot better than Ray Ray's, but Ray Ray's style of smoking is better.

Here's the thing we need to see if he can run a restaurant. He closed several in the past.
He's very good at food trucks (less people to manage) and now he has a guy to help him.
So he's a great Pit Master but IMO City has the advantage for # of people served and for have 50 some restaurants
But no doubt his food quality is top notch.
Brick and Mortar restaurants can be overrated. I'll take quality over quantity any day.Here's the thing we need to see if he can run a restaurant. He closed several in the past.
