Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.
The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 4β10 pm. It is closed on Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (513) 818-8720.

Cincinnati is in Ohio, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Cincinnati follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The chefs behind the pizza bar (Aaron and Jake) were so charming and fun! They made my birthday an absolute blast. Our server was the sweetest. I'm sad to know it's Aaron's last day with the crew - because he made me the best pizza ever :) All of the food was incredible. Atmosphere is cozy and the open kitchen concept is so neat. Every member of the staff was hard working and kind. Absolutely loved visiting this place! Highly recommend sitting at the bar area and will visit again.

Wonderful atmosphere and I especially enjoyed the more casual outdoor dining. Very accommodating and welcoming for little ones. I had the Monday night special: the pasta trio. It was delicious, and I had enough left over to enjoy for lunch the next day.

There is a reason why this place is almost always fully booked. The food is exquisite. That short rib was darn near perfect. We enjoyed everything we had and the service is several steps above above top tier. Highly recommend.

We walked into Forno on a Monday night, and the place was packed. We grabbed two seats at the bar not planned, but perfect. The kitchen was in full swing, and we had front-row seats. We started with the octopus appetizer, and it didnβt just look good it delivered. Charred just enough to form that crisp edge, but tender inside with no hint of chewiness. Thatβs not luck thatβs timing. It was paired with golden potatoes and a warm pasta style sauce underneath not your usual combo, but it worked beautifully. Nothing tried to outshine the octopus; everything was there to support it. We also had the pasta trio, a fun little bonus from the eveningβs specials. It offered three different shapes, sauces, and textures to explore, making it a relaxed way to share and try a few things. But the octopus? That was the star. The kind of dish where you pause after the first bite, look at your friend, and say, βThis is really good.β

Hitting the "F" on our Alphabetical Couples Dinner list. Recommended by my son. Came in from the rear entrance where we found a few parking spaces. All staff very friendly. Had reservations. Greeted by manager who stopped by the table later. Mattie was an excellent server who provided answers to all questions on the menu. Appetizers and entrees were exceptional. Prosciutto and melon and the cauliflower were great choices. The veal meatballs are a must to add on the pasta dishes. The pizza was special and so fresh. We were told the chef makes about eighty per night. Packed on a Saturday evening as well as outdoor front seating. Will be returning soon.
