  Great mom and pops pizza spot. This might be the best pizza in central Ohio.. the owner is always there and will remember you.  Thin crust is very tasty and the sauce is decadent. Service is top notch and yes I take my out of town friends here to pickup pizza.  Make sure you get your paper plates and napkins if you don't they will make sure you get them.

  Although I've tried most every pizza shop on the north end of Columbus, I can't believe I've never been to Grandad's on Morse Rd. Perhaps it's because they don't have an online presence for this store - so I order from shops that allow me to order online for delivery.
  
  When the delivery man arrived with our pizza - I might add 10 minutes ahead of scheduled time, we told him that we'd never gotten Grandad's Pizza.
  
  He assured us that we would thoroughly enjoy their unique taste. (We'd also ordered 3 Italian Subs).
  
  After taking our first bite of this hot-from-the-oven pizza, we were aware that this pizza did have a unique taste.
  
  It tasted like the pepperoni and spices gave the pie a delightful smoky flavor, not found in any of the other local shops to-date.
  
  The pepperoni used by Grandad's is the same small, spicy, pepperoni, that I love and is used by Joseppi's, which made it all the more delicious.
  
  We had not even touched the Italian subs at this point. Well, that's not quite true - after only a few pieces of pizza, she was already nibbling on one of the sandwiches. She told me that even without added meat and cheese (as we normally order,) they had followed our request to leave off the banana peppers and put our dressing on the side.
  
  The lg. pizza and 3 Old School Subs (on a special coupon) for $15.95 and the large 14" one topping pizza was only $13.50 (All reasonable prices for all that food.)
  
  Upon delivery, we were given additional coupons for next time.
  
  Will there be "next time"?  You bet!
  
  The smoky flavor of the pizza was worth coming back for that taste alone!
  
  I called the shop again and the owner was so surprised when I told him we'd just gotten pizza and subs from his store. I suspect he may have thought the reason for calling back may have been to complain about something. Instead, I thanked him for the rushed delivery and piping hot, delicious taste of their pizza that his delivery man said we'd like.
  
  He thanked me for the kind words and told me he looked forward to our future business.

  This is one of the better pizza places on this side of town. While there are a couple of great pizzeria's, they don't have delivery over here or they require a third party delivery service. If I wanted to go get a pizza I could just get one at the store.
  
  I haven't had a bad pizza or bad service on the phone or at my door from this place ever. As a matter of fact, this is the only pizza place that has never messed up an order yet for me. The big chain shops over here have all failed to the point where we don't use Donato's or Pizza Hut anymore due to quality issues at Donato's and order quality and management issues at Pizza Hut. The other places are constantly too greasy or too bland and no better than me baking one myself.
  
  For the review I read where they bash this as not being quality pizza, well this isn't the east coast or Chicago. The pizza standard here was set by Donato's and Massey's decades ago. I can drive across the city for a better pizza, but that defeats the purpose of getting delivery on snowy or rainy days.
  
  If any of you are old enough to remember the flavor of the crust from Donato's in the 80's thru 90's prior to their sale to McDonalds Corporation (briefly) the crust tastes like that. Now Donato's uses the frozen dough which is not the same or good.

  Normally at the hotel I work for we highly recommend all of our guests to order pizza from this restaurant however we will no longer be doing that after tonight. The "manager" of this establishment seemed to find it appropriate to use profanity and abusive language with one of the guest here on vacation from Wales because (and I'm literally quoting the manager) "he was a Moran who didn't know his own phone number". On behalf of the customer I called back requesting the manager because I didn't think any business owner or professional of any sort would allow their employees to conduct themselves in such a manner. To my disappointment not only did he confirm that he was aware of the situation but he in fact used profanity with me and I was only trying to inform his obviously rude and ignorant self that my guest cannot use his personal phone over seas, would not necessarily know the hotels phone number off hand and that maybe it would be wise to show respect to any potential customer attempting to place an order with his establishment in the future.

  Probably some of the best pizza I've EVER had. I'm not sure if its because my husband knows the owner or what, but grandads is something we eat more than once EVERY time we are here visiting my husbands family. We also love the Italian subs. My mouth is watering right now thinking about it. I could eat a thin crust pepperoni, onion and green pepper pizza from here at least once a week. Too bad they don't have this joint in Virginia. As long as this place is around, we'll eat here every time we're in town....yum yum yum
