We drove down from Columbus only to discover that this pizza was definitely not worth the hype. The service was also horrendous. Our waitress, Ginneta, dropped off the check while we were in the middle of eating our food. She didn't even ask us if we wanted dessert. She rushed us out because we were her last table. Would not come back.
This food is amazing! We came in a few months ago and continue to rave about this place. We live in Gallipolis and tell all of our friends to stop by Lievita if they are in Chillicothe. We appreciate their desire to provide healthy home made alternatives, which is a huge deal to us.
The atmosphere needs some work. There was no music and I could hear every conversation within the restaurant. I would appreciate some background noise so the dining experience feels more intimate.
I brought my DORA drink in as they do not serve alcohol at this time. There is a wonderful winery right down the street that you can walk to!
I’ve eaten pizza in Italy, NYC, New Haven CT (who claims they have the world’s best pizza). All three are well renown for their pizza. Lievita, in my opinion is the best. Absolutely perfect crust, nice sauce and flavorful cheese. We get the meat lovers with extra meat. It’s not cheap, but it shouldn’t be. Go and enjoy!

We absolutely loved our experience at Lievita’s! We’re pretty big Italian food connoisseurs, so we can be picky when it comes to authentic flavor and quality, and this place completely exceeded our expectations. The baked rigatoni was incredible, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We also ordered a half plain and half mushroom/pepperoni pizza that was so good. We also took home a Margherita pizza and it was just as amazing, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. Their house dressing on the salad was absolutely delicious and one of those little details that really stood out. The tiramisu was perfect! We even grabbed a slice of carrot cake to take home and it was AMAZING, moist, flavorful, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything tasted homemade and fresh, and the whole experience was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent food and lovely service! Jacob was knowledgeable about the menu and offered plenty of suggestions, and was kind and attentive throughout our meal. I loved seeing the Ohio first label on the menu, and the fact that the restaurant not only cares about the taste of the food (which was all great) but also the quality of ingredients. The portions were also very generous! I definitely recommend this restaurant!
