To continue our pizza adventures Chris, Xander and I set off not to long after the first, to a place south of campus called Yellow Brick Pizza. It was absolutely amazing, after the first experience left us a little underwhelmed Yellow Brick Pizza popped us right back up and got us excited for our little pizza tour once again. The service was impeccable and the pizza was up there with the best. With what I thought was a great mix between the three parts of the pizza, the dough, the sauce, and the cheese. None of the three were out of balance with the others and it made for a nice Monday night for the three of us.
The next weekend we were off again this time to the North Market to a pizza place we had all tried once before, Sarefino’s. Though the first time we had come by the pizza had been a little extra greasy this time it was just right. As well the whole environment of the North Market just makes it extra fun to hang out with our friends as we all sit together and eat our ‘za. We are already planning on heading back to the North Market again next semester so Xander can get his beloved sandwich.
Our next experience was about as close to campus as you can get at Aracri Pizzeria. We went after game day and it was PACKED. Regardless service was quick and we were able to get our pizza surprisingly quick for how many people were going through the line at the time. Though this pizza didn’t measure up to some of the other places on our list with nothing really standing out other than a general lack of taste. Regardless it’s very close so if someone was desperate for some off campus pizza while in their dorm room that is where I would have to recommend going.
Finally we walked up to Mikey’s Late Night Slice. My expectations weren’t very high after walking in to the store. With seemingly only one woman working and the only place to eat being an old and banged up counter I was prepared to end our adventure on a low note. However, after I bit into my slice all my expectations got blown out of the water. This was in my opinion they best pizza out of all the places we had been thus far. The single woman who was working also made decent conversation and was very welcoming of us. This all mixed with the proximity to where our dorm is almost certainly makes Mikey’s Late Night Slice the best place for us to get pizza in the future and certainly a worthy end to our culinary odyssey.
This was a ton of fun and I’m glad I had two partners all the way through the end of the project to hang out with and enjoy each place with. We aren’t planning on being done with the pizza of Columbus just yet and plan to continue next semester. Anyone who also wants to shoot for the stars in the pizza galaxy that is Columbus honestly just go for it. There are winners and there are no real losers because at the end of the day you are still eating some pizza with your homies and that’s never a bad experience.
