Smokey Robinson Pizza was amazing. Perfect. Great location within Olde Hilliard. Will be back many times. Full bar options, cauliflower gluten free option too. Nice Patio. Best pizza in Ohio. Had the hand tossed, but they have Detroit style and told me about tavern style too - thin crust. Part of D.O.R.A. Great for families.

Great atmosphere, fast service, amazing food!

Since I first tried Sexton's Pizza, I've not ordered anywhere else! The crust is baller, the specialties are deliciously creative, and they have an awesome array of toppings to build your own. I've been telling everyone I know to try it out, I'm HOOKED!

This place never ceases to amaze me. I've had several of their specialty pizzas as well as both their hand-tossed and deep-dish crust. The crust is chewy, crispy, and somehow soft at the same time. Toppings can be a bit sparse on the hand-tossed but if you pay the $1 extra for deep-dish you get more dough,sauce, and toppings. Skip the appetizers, they aren't worth the price.

Sexton's is easily in my top 5 pizza shops in Columbus, partly because it's not just another Columbus style pizza joint (don't get me wrong, I love a good 614 pie and will gladly down some Tommy's or Teritas). To put the quality in perspective, the first time my wife and I tried a Sexton's pizza we ended up ordering again the next day. Ingredient quality is top tier which lends itself to one of my favorite things about their pies, which is balance. The flavors don't overwhelm, nothing is too salty, the sauce isn't too sweet, spices bite just enough, so you won't wake up thirsty in the morning. Speaking of the next morning, I also measure pizza by how it is cold the next and they pass this test with flying colors.Crust options are something I strongly suggest exploring here because you have three to choose from: hand tossed, Motown, and Sicilian. You'll get the same base flavor in all of these and none of them are bad. Hand tossed has a nice flop, just enough of a crust to feel a brief crunch before you hit the soft interior, and it's not greasey (btw pizza shouldn't be greasey and it's an indication of ovens that aren't up to the task). Motown may not be what you expect: it's thicker than hand tossed, stretched into a rectangle, but it's not cooked in a buttered up pan. If you're looking to have a thicker more doughy pie it might be what you seek. Last and certainly not least is Sicilian (pictured): by weight alone it probably weighs double what the others do and it is so, so, good. It's an incredibly soft yet dense crust, by the time you reach the edges you'll be glad the toppings aren't edge to edge because you'll be greeted by more crunch and chew. It's an extra $2 but you'll know where those $2 went when you take the first bite.Appetizers. I haven't worked through all of these yet. Like the rest of their menu I suspect there are no bad options. Skillet knots are a good starting point and they properly let you appreciate the sauce, and it tastes like very fresh tomato. The wings are excellent as are the house made dressings to dip them in.Drinks. Yeah, don't forget to check these out. Conveniently, they have nice sealed up containers so there's no chance of spilling and you could let them roll around the floor of your car without having to worry. Dump them into a glass of ice when you get home and enjoy your little ticket to flavor country.Not sure where to start? Kevin Bacon. The candied bacon kicks everything up another notch as it's sweet and smokey. If you want a more conservative approach the cup and burn pepperoni won't do you wrong. Don't let the name mislead you either, it cups and gets crispy like it should rather than actually being charred.Sexton's has become our Friday night ritual for the past couple of months now because it's difficult to get tired of. I can't recommend them enough, and you're showing a deserving local business some love.

Hands down one of my new favorite pizza places it’s a little pricey but like who cares cause it’s really good like really really really good thing dough and flavorful and so much pepperoni I 1000% will be back

Excellent pizza. $8 for 5 cheesesticks, $7 for 1/2lb of wings, which was maybe 9 wings at best after all the little peices peices of fried batter. 2 pizzas, cheesesticks and wings for nearly $60.

Ordered a Motown 10x14 deep dish and the pizza was hand tossed at best on one half and deep dish on the other. All the toppings were tossed in the center of the pizza and the pizza was not a 10x14. We also ordered a large salad which only is enough for 2 small sides for kids for $10. Aside from the pizza tasting really great the place is a rip off. Poor execution of a deep dish and being the first time we tried it I was truly let down.Now be if it of the doubt maybe the person working that day didn’t really care to be working.

Visited on a Friday night. Seemed to be short handed but did an outstanding job taking care of us. Pizza is delicious. Love all the different varieties. This is a must try! Very good!!!

Outstanding pizzas and subs. Fresh, high quality ingredients and some unique toppings. You'll pay a little extra, but it's totally worth it.
