Leaning Tower of Pizza - Mansfield, OH

If you want a pizza story with history, character, and a crust that could convert a non‑believer, buckle up — because this place has been slinging pies longer than most of us have been alive 😄. Back in the mid‑1950s, 180–182 Lexington Avenue was home to a Gambles hardware store run by Paul & Jerome Dillon. It didn’t last long… but in 1957, the building found its true destiny: becoming the first pizza joint between Cleveland and Columbus. And with founder Joe Hess famously declaring, “All my cronies want pepperoni’s,” the Leaning Tower of Pizza was born — and Mansfield has never been the same 🍕🏆.

Also, I hate it when the cheese is over the toppings. The pepperoni is always soggy, as is the crust, and honestly just the whole pizza in general. Everytime. Today I decided to order a deluxe sub to go with my pepperoni pizza. That was even worse. I don't know how they did it, but they burnt the sammich and yet it was still soggy. And just like the pizza, there wasn't any seasoning that was noteworthy on the sub. Never been satisfied with

Seriously delicious pizza and deluxe sub. The people are very friendly kind & welcoming. Cool atmosphere.

Leaning tower of pizza is an interesting place. You walk in and you greeted not only by the counter staff, but by some pretty cool old time radio music. It's definitely not a sit in place. Though they have a big, long bench for you to sit and wait in case your pizza isn't ready. And if you like pinball there's a machine there as well. First thing I noticed you could smell the pizza in the parking lot, which, if you can smell the pizza outside nine times out of ten, the pizza place is really good. So we ordered our normal lrg pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni on one side. Which, by the way, i'm almost convinced they sliced their own pepperoni, because it was very thick and was tasty. The mushrooms, though not a deal breaker, I tend to think they came from a can but I could be wrong. The ch
