Cardinal Pizza

Closest to NYC pizza in Columbus. Great sauce & cheese, and always crisp under carriage. And I’m from Queens and lived in Little Italy/Nolita for many years.

Terrific!

Got housed before I could get a full pic because it was such a good pie. Sampled both NY style and Columbus style, both were excellent, but I'm impartial to the NY crust

14” columbus style pep 1/2 sausage. Pep and sausage in good quantity decent amount of sauce. I think it was lite on the cheese. I could see lots of crust. Also got a 10” N/Y style ok, lots of flop. A little greasy. Got garlic bread/cheese. Was good but shoved in to too small a container so the cut pieces were all stuck together. Wife got a sub and a salad also to try. They were good. Ok place. Just didn’t do it for me.

Margarita add pepperoni. I wanted this place to live up to the hype but I think I ordered the wrong pie. The crust was the best part, great flavor and crisp. For a margarita sauce it lacked garlic flavor and the chunks of tomato added nothing but acidity. Will try a regular pepperoni if I’m in the area again.

Columbus cut for the win

New York style. Nice char and bubbles on crust, good undercarriage. Moderate flop, moderate grease. Very nice sauce. Excellent cheese. A very good all around pizza. Would definitely go back. That’s a review.

Had pepperoni with the spicy sauce and cooked well done. Friend I was with said there was sweetness to the sauce, which is something I hate, but I didn’t detect that at all. I would actually rate the spicy sauce among the best I’ve had in Columbus. Pepperoni was fine. The dough was….interesting. It was super thin and definitely cooked well done, but it had major flop and wasn’t crunchy under the toppings. The outer crust was good but not as airy as someplace like Sexton’s. Overall I have to go below Sexton’s but barely.

Good under carriage, and minimal flop. Tasty slice.

A little crisp, but kind of greasy. Dough is alright, and spicing on top is decent. Sauce tastes kind of canned middle of the road, and the cheese was a little heavy. Overall this pie could be lighter, but it is solid for a NY style pie in central Ohio.

Ordered the five Burroughs. Extra cheesy. Crust was good.

New York Style Pie. Very Cheesy- maybe too much Parmesan cheese?

A tad greasy but very tasty

Tangy sauce, great cheese and a nice crispy crust... little ny flop, super solid pie.... def worth a 15/20 min drive... will be back for sure!!!
