Old Boston Pizza- Owensville



Entrance to Old Boston Pizza

Now I know that good ol' O-Town is a hike for just about all of you, and unless you're absolutely dying to go to the Clermont County Fair during the summer (I know you probably aren't), chances are you will never go there, or even go through there. However, I would just like to enlighten all of you on a place that I feel is one of the best around the Greater Cincinnati area (as far on the fringe as it may be).

The place is called "Old Boston Pizza," and it is located in Owensville, which is situated on Route 50, about 28 miles east of Cincinnati. The only way I came across this place myself was from driving by it whenever I would be with friends who live nearby. The place piqued our interest enough one summer, so we decided to go in and give it a try, and let me tell you, it was outstanding!

The dining room is a fairly decent size for a place like this, meaning that you can easily bring four or five friends along and you won't feel cramped in there. It even features a television too, so you can watch a good sports game in there while you chow down on some mouthwatering pizza.



Some of the best pizza you will ever eat right here!



Regarding the pizza, just listen here, people. I'm here to tell you that this pizza is terrific. Absolutely amazing. I mean, you'll be making sound effects similar to Homer Simpson preparing to devour a big hoagie once you see this thing. I know this method of evaluation does not exist when it comes to food, but I swear the cheese-to-tomato sauce ratio on this thing is absolutely perfect. If you and a friend go in there to split a large pizza plus two drinks, you will both come out on the smiling side of nine dollars, and you will definitely leave full and smiling!

Let's break Old Boston down, on a scale from one to five:

Atmosphere: 5. Just good enough, I'd say. The dining room has that ubiquitous small-town charm to it.
Also, I'm not too sure what it's like when the county fair is going on, but there's usually a really laid-back, relatively quiet atmosphere within the place.

Service: 5. The people who run the place are very nice, and they will always make sure your drinks are topped off. They were also kind enough to mention why they decided to name the place "Old Boston." While I don't remember every detail of what our server told me, the town name of "Owensville" actually used to be called "Boston" during the early 19th century. I believe the postmaster of the town was named "Owens" and that's why the town switched its name to Owensville, but I don't remember the story with 100 percent accuracy. To sum up my story concisely, the name of the restaurant is meant to commemorate the town's history. 

Food: 5. Really, I should give it 10. Just a fantastic pizza, and you really get your money's worth.

Overall: 5. Second day in a row featuring a restaurant with a clean sweep. Trust me, I won't do this with every restaurant review, but the last two places I've been to were simply phenomenal.

Once again, there's a really good chance that many of you reading this will never make it out to Owensville, and really, I don't blame you. It would be a hike for just about all of you to get there. Heck, I live in Clermont County and it's still a good 15 minutes from where I reside. While O-Town has a nice park,  there's absolutely nothing to do there outside of the county fair held every summer. Nonetheless, I just wanted to shed some light on a fantastic place on the outskirts of Greater Cincinnati that otherwise would not be noticed except only to nearby residents.

Take care everybody, and you'll hear from me again soon!
