Believe it or not, the first pizza delivery dates all the way back to the late 1800s! Queen Margherita of Savoy fell ill while traveling, and since she was in Naples, Italy for her recovery, she requested authentic Italian food. It was not part of royal culture to go out for food; food was always brought to the royalty. So Chef Raffaele Esposito brought the Queen his custom creation: pizza topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. She loved it! You may recognize what is now called the Margherita pizza today.
This is a far cry from the pizza near me searches we’re all used to now. Delivery in the US didn’t really start until after WW2, when soldiers returning stateside began missing the pizzas they enjoyed overseas. Pizzerias became more popular as soldiers ate there more frequently. In major metropolitan cities, entrepreneurial pizza shops offered a carry out option for people to take home.
It was the start of people enjoying delicious, authentic, restaurant-quality pies at home. Pizzerias even developed perfectly-shaped pizza boxes so their food could safely reach their destinations.
But it wasn’t until the 1960s when the idea of delivering pizza rather than the customer carrying it out gained a foothold. It grew in tandem with more Americans owning homes, and more young people having cars. Soon, pizzarias were training employees to bring the pizza to customers in under 30 minutes.
Years later, with the rise of the internet and online ordering, pizza delivery has boomed, making pizza delivery in Newark, pizza delivery in Heath, Ohio, and pizza delivery everywhere in the US, even in rural areas, a commonplace occurrence.
Where do you go for the best pizza delivery in Newark? Plaza Pizza®, of course.
Plaza Pizza® has been around for more than 50 years for a reason: because we consistently make delicious, traditional pizzas our customers love so much, we’ve built a loyal following.
We start with fresh dough made every day in-house, for a thin crust with a satisfying cracker crunch our customers find crave-worthy. At Plaza Pizza®, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We also haven’t changed our proprietary sauce recipe, the one with the tangy zip our loyal fans have grown up loving.
How do we know? Because when the original owners of Plaza Pizza® were ready to retire in 2019, new owners, the Claggetts, couldn’t bear the thought of no longer having Plaza Pizza® in our lives.
So we consulted with family members who have all loved Plaza Pizza® through the decades, and we decided that three Claggetts, Brian, Ben, and Olivia, would embark on the adventure of becoming the next Plaza Pizza® generation to carry on old traditions. We’ve been operating Plaza Pizza® since 2019 and have kept everything about this beloved legacy brand customers have loved for decades.
We have also created new traditions we hope will keep Plaza Pizza® customers happy for another 50 years.
One of the biggest is setting both locations up for pizza delivery in Newark and Heath, Ohio. We recognize that some nights, having someone bring our customers a hot, tasty pizza straight to their door is exactly the perfect meal solution. We’re thrilled at the response we’ve had to our new pizza delivery services.
Additionally, customers can order their Plaza Pizza® favorites online through our website or through the Toast app, and pay electronically with a debit or credit card.
While we’re always thrilled to see loyal Plaza Pizza® fans face-to-face, we’re happy to take customer orders over the phone and through today’s more modern means.
We’ve also added delectable new flavors to our menu to go with the classics. Try our BBQ Chicken, Buffalo Chicken, or BLT pizza for something refreshing! Or if someone at your table isn’t in the mood for a pizza, the toasted torpedo sandwich may be a mouthwatering alternative. For dessert, we’re honoring our grandmother with the sweet Shirley Lou, with house-made apple pie filling and topped with streusel and smooth icing.
