“Being recognized for our commitment to serving world-class pizza, our creativity, company culture, and unique approach to dining is an honor,” said owner Eric Soller. “Our goal has always been to bring people together over great food, and these awards validate our vision of creating a welcoming space for all.”
The restaurant also took home awards for “Most Interesting Menu” and “Most Unique Location” for its Troy location built in a former fire station.
Old Scratch is known for its Midwesternly Neapolitan pizzas, fresh salads, wood-fired vegetables and large selection of regional craft beers. If you’ve never been to Old Scratch, Soller recommends the Angry Beekeeper pizza featuring tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, spicy salami, house-made hot honey and olive oil.
All pizzas are wood-fired and made with hand-stretched dough and high-quality ingredients.
Soller first opened Old Scratch in 2016 at 812 S. Patterson Boulevard in Dayton, followed by a second location in 2019 at 440 Miamisburg-Centerville Road in Centerville and a third in Beavercreek at 2450 Dayton Xenia Road. In Jan. 2024, Old Scratch opened its fourth location in Troy at 19 E. Race St.
