Alright, we’re in Powell, Ohio, checking out Massey’s Pizza—yeah, it’s a chain, but don’t roll your eyes just yet. Some chains mail it in. This one? Actually holds up.
Walked in, ordered a pepperoni and a Hawaiian, plus some wings to round it out. Let’s break it down.
First bite—fresh, right outta the oven. Pepperoni’s got a solid crunch, cheese is melted just right, and the sauce? Surprisingly flavorful. Tangy, seasoned, not too sweet. The crust has that classic tavern-thin style, light crisp, not soggy, and holds the slice like a champ. It’s not artisan, but it’s dialed in for what it is.
Hawaiian? Not bad. Pineapple’s not overly canned tasting, ham has a little bite. Would I order it again? Maybe not my first choice, but it’s done well enough for a chain pizza joint.
The wings? Better than expected. Crispy skin, juicy inside—not dried-out filler. You can tell they’re not just an afterthought on the menu.
Atmosphere? Standard strip mall setup, nothing wild—but it’s clean, staff is friendly, and the food came out quick and hot. You’re not going here for the vibes, you’re going because you want consistent, no-nonsense pizza that delivers.
Look, for a chain, Massey’s punches above its weight. You could do a lot worse on a Friday night. It’s not elite, but it’s solid.
Final score: 7.1 out of 10. Respectable. Reliable. Would eat again.
7.1. One bite, everybody knows the rules.
