Plaza Pizza® The Flavor of the Best Quality Pizza in Ohio
Pizza has become a staple in the American diet because it’s versatile. Purists can easily stick with traditional flavors, while those with a more adventurous palate can find outside-the-box toppings to please their taste buds.
One thing remains the same: everyone wants the best quality pizza wherever they order.
Good news! Plaza Pizza® offers the best quality pizza in Newark and Heath, and we’ve been in business for over 50 years as one of Ohio’s iconic pizza destinations.
The Best Quality Pizza Starts With Tradition
When Plaza Pizza® initially opened our doors in 1971 in Newark, Ohio, we understood that to capture our customers’ loyalty, we needed to capture their taste buds.
To do this, we insisted on freshness, flavor, and top quality ingredients. Our dough is made fresh, by hand, every single day. Over the years, we’ve perfected the satisfying cracker crunch of the Plaza Pizza® thin crust. Our customers often tell us this is the best part of our pizza.
Next, we ensure our toppings are satisfying not only in choice but in quantity. Finally, we perfected our proprietary sauce recipe in such a way that has made Plaza Pizza® a favorite for generations of families.
From 1971 on, Plaza Pizza® became a Newark, Ohio destination for the best quality pizza. Our top quality pizza graced birthdays, graduations, holiday gatherings, retirements, and more, and generations of Ohioans grew up loving what Plaza Pizza® served: unbeatable, flavorful pizza that made a satisfying crunch with every bite.
Even people who moved away from Newark made a point to visit Plaza Pizza® whenever they returned for a visit. That’s how we know Plaza Pizza® is the best quality pizza: we became a destination to visitors and residents alike for all their special occasions.
Plaza Pizza® Brings a New Generation of the Best Quality Pizza
In 2019, the original owners of Plaza Pizza®, after 48 years, were ready to retire. Residents of Newark, however, weren’t ready to say goodbye to the best quality pizza in the area. One family in particular, the Claggetts, felt strongly that Plaza Pizza® should remain open for business.
Ben, Brian, and Olivia Claggett had fond memories of Plaza Pizza®, having grown up with the distinctive, zesty pizza sauce and signature crunchy crust as a part of their favorite childhood moments. With the support of the wider Claggett clan, Ben, Brian, and Olivia set out to keep the tradition of Plaza Pizza® alive.
Upgrading the Plaza Pizza® Systems that Deliver the Best Quality Pizza in OH
As Plaza Pizza® entered its 5th decade in business, it became clear certain aspects of the daily operations had become antiquated. What worked well in 1971 was not as relevant beginning in the 2020s.
The Claggetts understand life moves at a faster pace than ever, and while loyal customers love the best quality pizza they can get from Plaza Pizza®, they also desire more convenient ways to order and pay.
So the Plaza Pizza® way of placing orders got a facelift. Now, customers can order online through the website, and those orders can be paid for using a debit or credit card.
We are, of course, still happy to hear from customers who prefer to place their orders over the phone and pay using cash. After all, traditional methods are part of what we all respect about Plaza Pizza®. But now, customers have more options in how they order and pay.
In addition, we’ve expanded Plaza Pizza®, so now our customers can get the best quality pizza in Heath, Ohio, too. When choosing to order online, customers will be directed to select the location closest to them.
This enables us at Plaza Pizza® to serve our customers with the biggest upgrade yet: delivery! Yes, Plaza Pizza® now delivers the best quality pizzas to Newark and Heath residents.

Plaza Pizza® Expands Our Menu
As wedded as we are to tradition at Plaza Pizza®, we also recognize that people’s tastes can be bigger than what was once available on our menu. Of course, we’ve kept all the beloved menu items that make up the best quality pizza. We’ve just added new items to give new flavors a chance to shine.
Those looking for something other than pepperoni or sausage may find themselves intrigued by Buffalo chicken pizza, which carries a bit of a zing and is topped with ranch and green onion when it comes out of the oven.
Or if you’re looking for flavor over heat, a BBQ chicken pizza might be more your style, with a BBQ sauce base rather than our traditional marinara pizza sauce. It also includes red onion, pineapple, and once out of the oven, is drizzled with more house made BBQ sauce and cilantro for extra flavor.
Perhaps a healthier spin is what’s on the menu, and we’ve got that covered with our cauliflower crust pizza. Available in a 10” crust, this option has that same satisfying cracker crunch for which Plaza Pizza® is known, and only 20 carbs and 140 calories per slice! While this crust is gluten-free, it is prepared in a kitchen among other ingredients with gluten, so please consider your level of gluten sensitivity when ordering a cauliflower crust pizza.
Maybe pizza isn’t what you’re craving. We’ve got you covered with delectable garden or Italian salads, or a Torpedo sandwich that’ll make your mouth sing. Our garlic bread or garlic bread with cheese rounds out any order.
We can even satisfy the sweet tooth with the Shirly Lou dessert pizza, with house-made apple pie filling, streusel topping, and drizzled with icing. Named after our beloved late grandmother, it’s a surefire hit!
If you’re looking for the best quality pizza, look no further than more than 50 years of tradition with a modern twist at Plaza Pizza® in Newark and Heath, Ohio!
