A Taste of Youngstown: Briar Hill Pizza 🍕
If you’re a pizza lover, you have to try the Briar Hill Pizza while you're in Youngstown!
Here’s the story: Briar Hill Pizza originated in the city’s historic Brier Hill neighborhood, once known as Little Italy, and was crafted by Italian immigrants during the Great Depression. They needed something affordable, so they got creative with ingredients they could find easily.


The pizza features a thick crust, topped with a classic tomato sauce, sweet red and green bell peppers, and a hearty sprinkle of Romano cheese. It’s a pizza that tells a story, and one that has remained a tradition in Youngstown.


The Great Youngstown Pizza Debate 🍕
When it comes to pizza in Yummstown, everyone has their own opinion on who makes the best pie! We've got some family members weighing in on the matter and here's where they stand:
David: Go to Golden Dawn for Briar Hill Pizza. Uptown for Sausage Pizza.
Brian: Go to Uptown for sausage pizza
Avalon and St. Anthony’s Church- Briar Hill pizza
Yosteria - new wave pizza 
Pizza Joe’s - white trash ranch, broccoli, cauliflower, cheese.
Golden Dawn - hot sausage and peppers
I remember liking Cocca’s, southgate, wedgewood. Maybe I’ll sample when I’m home 
Laura: Avalon- Egg Pizza
Mindi: Golden Dawn. Briar Hill.
Katie: Avalon because they also have the best hot peps
