The Pizza House, a 63-year-old institution near Clintonville on the North Side, bested 50-year-old Rotolo's Italian Pizzeria of Grandview Heights, 622 to 545. Both serve Columbus-style square-cut pies.

The top vote-getter in the second round was Terita's Pizza, the 65-year-old carryout in North Linden. Terita's, another Columbus-style pizza-maker, defeated Brooklyn-style relative newcomer Paulie Gee's, which has been in the Short North since 2016. The vote was 841 to 301.
The top vote-getter of round one, Tommy's Pizza in Upper Arlington, advanced to the third round over JT's Pizza & Pub from the Northwest Side in another matchup of Columbus-style pizza-makers. The original Tommy's opened in 1952, while JT's has been around since 2007. The vote was 752 to 302.
Adriatico's New York-Style Pizza, in the University District for 38 years, topped The Original Josie's Pizza of Franklinton in the other vote, 591 to 467. Josie's serves Columbus-style pizza.
