    That’s Ohio Valley style for you. We’ve got a place here in Akron called DiCarlo’s, which originated in Steubenville and has other locations in Pittsburgh and in Wheeling, WV, and was where the style was invented. The crust and sauce are baked first, then the rest of the toppings go on so the cheese is only beginning to melt when it’s served. It’s fine I guess, whatever, but definitely not my first choice (go go Detroit style)

        Never been, but I’ll have to give them a shot sometime. I like Rocco’s but I need to try some other local joints.

          Rocco’s was always the pizza schools would get us for pizza parties back in the day. If you do try Mark & Philly’s, try their medium crust AND a Sicilian pie :)

          Edit- and their jojos!

      That pizza is half eaten and the cheese still looks frozen.

      Ain’t no fucking way that’s beginning to melt when it was served.

        Yeah, can’t speak to how Beto’s does it, but DiCarlo’s does give it a bit more time. Not much, but more than nothing.

      Ohio Valley style pizza… they cook the crust and sauce and then put the cheese and toppings on.

      It’s as bad as it sounds.

        Some DiCarlo’s pizza shops in the valley cook the pepperoni and at least some of the cheese on there. I think this style is great when done right. Or maybe that’s just nostalgia talking

      She at least cooked her rectangular abomination. This is like the cookie dough version of pizza but unlike cookie dough tastes like disappointment.

    My wife’s family fucking loves betos’s, honestly loads of people love it here. I can’t stand it. They will bake it if you ask them to, I just can’t get past the chunky sauce.

    This is without a doubt the worst pizza I have ever seen. At first I thought whoever took this picture was too drunk to cook a frozen pizza. Then I saw the comments saying its “ohio valley style” and I thought it was making fun of ohio and I was about say that ohio doesn’t deserve that. But no its real. what the fuck?
