Some pizzas are just buzzin’ with heat. 🐝🔥

Our Angry Beekeeper pizza brings together tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, spicy salami, and a drizzle of OSP Hot Honey. Sweet, spicy, salty, cheesy, and a little bit dangerous. 🍯🍕

This pizza is a classic we’ve been crafting for years, fired hot for that signature char and finished with just the right amount of sweet heat.

Order the Angry Beekeeper online or stop by Old Scratch Pizza and grab one while it’s hot.

Behind every pizza, every packed dining room, and every familiar face is a team of people who have poured a little piece of themselves into this place.

It’s the early mornings, late nights, busy weekends, inside jokes, hard days, big wins, and all the little moments in between. Moments that may have seemed small at the time, but somehow became part of the story we’re celebrating today.

Old Scratch wouldn’t be here 10 years later without the people behind the scenes who kept showing up, looking out for each other, and giving their best to serve our community. We’ve grown a lot since the beginning, but one thing has never changed: it’s always been about the people.

To every current and former crew member who has helped make Old Scratch what it is, thank you. And to everyone who has shared a meal, celebrated a milestone, or stopped in for a pizza over the last decade, thank you for being part of our story.

Here’s to 10 years of memories, community, and the people behind the pizza. 🍕 ❤️

We’ve already heard what our Downtown Dayton crew loves to order. Now it’s time to see what’s on the table at Old Scratch Pizza Troy! 🍕

We asked a few of our Troy crew members for their go-to orders, and there’s a little bit of everything for everyone!

👉 Nick’s Pick: Chicken Bacon Ranch + Angry Beekeeper
Nick likes a little variety, choosing our Chicken Bacon Ranch along with the Angry Beekeeper. One pizza for the classic flavors and one for a little extra kick.

👉 Katie’s Pick: Chicken Bacon Ranch + Caesar Salad
Katie is keeping it classic with our Chicken Bacon Ranch and a Caesar Salad on the side. A delicious combination that pairs perfectly together.

👉 Karter’s Pick: Italian Sandwich + Caesar Salad
Karter switched things up with our Italian Sandwich and a Caesar Salad. While we love our pizza, sometimes a good sandwich is exactly what you’re craving!

👉 Becca’s Pick: Dayton + Chicken Bacon Ranch with Jalapeños
Becca couldn’t decide between two favorites, so she went with both! Our Dayton and Chicken Bacon Ranch with jalapeños added make for a delicious combination with a little extra heat.

👉 Austin’s Pick: Gluten-Free Mr. Scratch + Scratch Bread
Austin’s go-to is our Gluten-Free Mr. Scratch with Scratch Bread on the side. A great reminder that you can still enjoy plenty of delicious options when choosing gluten-free.

From Downtown Dayton to Troy, every Old Scratch crew has their favorites. Now we want to hear from you!

Good pizza comes down to the little things.

At Old Scratch Pizza, our craft has always been about taking simple, quality ingredients and giving each one its moment.

Our Prosciutto Arugula brings together fresh & dry-aged mozzarella, provolone, prosciutto, and lemon-dressed arugula for a combination that’s simple, balanced, and full of flavor.

It’s the kind of craft you build over time by learning, refining, and staying curious about how to make something just a little better.

This is what we love about pizza, taking great ingredients, giving them the attention they deserve, and turning them into something people want to come back for.

Because great pizza isn’t just about what goes on top. It’s about how you make it.

10 years ago, we fired up our first oven in Dayton, Ohio with a pretty simple idea: bring a little bit of Naples to the Midwest. 🍕🔥 4,750 miles from Naples, Italy, we’ve been making our own kind of Midwesternly Neapolitan pizza. Same technique, same respect for the craft, just a little closer to home.

Since then, we’ve fired up 12 ovens at 800°, putting in more than 80,000 hours of live-fire cooking. That’s a whole lot of dough, flames, charred crusts, and probably a whole lot of pizza eaten along the way. But the biggest part of our story has never really been the ovens. It’s the people.

Today, 280+ crew members are part of Old Scratch Pizza. And our very first employee, hired on August 2, 2016, is still here 10 years later. ❤️ From one Dayton pizza shop to everything we’ve become today, it’s been 10 years of fire, food, people, and a whole lot of love. And somehow… we’re just getting started.

10 years. 4,750 miles. 12 ovens. 80,000+ hours of live fire. 280+ people. One very big pizza story.

Some people have been here since the beginning. Andy is one of them.

From opening Old Scratch Pizza’s first location in Dayton to growing into four stores with more on the way, he’s been part of the journey every step of the way.

A lot has changed since those early days. We’ve learned, grown, and gotten better along the way, but we’ve never lost sight of what mattered from the start: great food, attention to detail, and most importantly, doing it for the people.

We’re proud to be homegrown in Dayton, and even prouder of what we’re still building together.

This is our story, and we’re not done yet. ❤️🍕

What does our Downtown Dayton crew order? 🍕 👀

After spending so much time around the menu, our team has definitely developed some favorites. So we asked a few of them to share their go-to pairings.

Connor loves our Vodka Pesto + Scratch Bread. A savory favorite with a little something extra on the side. Connor knows a good pairing when he finds one.

Derrika’s pick is Artichoke Pesto Special + Caesar Salad. A little rich, a little bright, and a whole lot of flavor. And yes, you can absolutely make room for a salad. 😉
Catch the special through November 4!

Kyia keeps it classic with Dayton Pizza + Caesar Salad. Sometimes you just know what you like, and this combination never misses. It’s a classic pairing that will last for a lifetime.

Quinn goes for Prosciutto Arugula + Scratch Bread because sometimes you want your pizza to feel a little fancy, but you’re still absolutely ordering bread. Quinn gets it.

And Alek? Chicken Bacon Ranch + Burrata. Why choose one favorite when you can have two? One is dinner, one is “everyone better try this.”

What’s your Old Scratch go-to? 👇🍕
