Local Pizza Places:
Cameo’s Pizza
This local pizza chain started in Sandusky in 1936. In 2018, Cameo Pizza opened in Downtown BG and has been slinging great pies ever since. BG’s Cameo Pizza is also unique because they are attached to Doc’s Big City Saloon, a local bar specializing in whiskey based drinks. When you order your pizza, you can order a 6-pack of beer or a specialty drink like Cherry Limeade Slush.

Pagliai’s Pizza
This is one of Bowling Green’s oldest pizza places. Since they opened in 1967, Pagliai’s has been serving up delicious pizza and has even opened a second pizzeria in BG called Campus Pollyeyes (changed to a more phonetic spelling to avoid confusing the restaurants).
