Circle of Crust

Grandpa Pizzi’s Place couldn’t exist without the support of our partnerships, our crew, and our devoted pizza-eaters near and far. Below, you’ll find information on each crucial ingredient in our Circle of Crust.

Business Partnerships

Some of the best ingredients to come out of our kitchen are sourced directly from small businesses in and around our community. Shop Small & Support Local!

Our fresh-baked, artisanal breads are locally sourced from Flannel Dog Farm.

Ode to our Beer Garden roots, we’ve partnered with an AWESOME local brewery for our own special pour - courtesy of Dark Room Brewing!

Love having a fresh cup of coffee with dessert? Us too! Ours comes straight from Harbor Perk!

Old-fashioned ice cream is a staple on our dessert menu and ours is made fresh at Conneaut’s very own Heavenly Creamery.

Can’t get enough of our Hot Honey? Sourced locally from Coltman Apiaries, we keep local bees busy!

Have you tried our homemade meatballs or sausage, yet? We are happy to partner with Spencer’s Farm for locally raised and processed meat!

Did You Know?

Ohio is one of the top 10 wine-producing states with more than 1.2 million gallons produced every year - Ohio.gov

In addition to our locally sourced food items, we also have the pleasure of serving wines from three local wineries. Co-owner, Taylor, has had the pleasure of either working or harvesting at all three of Conneaut’s wineries and holds a special place in her heart for each. Be sure to peruse our wine list or visit these amazing local businesses for yourself!
