As of 11/1/23 we are very proud to have made donations to Sinclair Community College toward the endowment of a perpetual annual “Doughlarship” to a Dayton Public School graduate, and a donation to the wonderful Mission of Mary Cooperative whose mission is below:

From their website: “For a decade we’ve been building a network of urban agriculture projects that allow us to offer fresh produce to our neighbors year round. In 2021 we harvested 67,000 pounds of vegetables from curly kale to cherry tomatoes.”

We’re building systems that support sustainable lifestyles in our community. Through a focus on urban agriculture, education, and the stewardship of green spaces, we’re cultivating a positive environment for the wellbeing of our neighbors. ”

— Mike Schulz, executive director

Thank You, Dayton Firefighters

Sept. 19, 2020:
The Dayton Firefighters Union presented Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory and our staff with an incredibly nice appreciation award, accepted by our Manager of almost 30 years, Dan Azbill (pictured with his wife).  We think his words say it best:
“I accepted an award tonight on behalf of the Pizza Factory, from the Dayton Fire Department, thanking us for years of service. The gratitude shown to me and my comrades was humbling. The real heroes in that room however, were the men and women there ( and those on duty) that risk their lives on a daily basis in service of our community.
Thanks again first responders. You are heroes in our book.”

Our Pizza Boxes ARE Recyclable!

From PMQ Magazine:

Recently, we learned that pizza lovers have one more reason to feel good about embracing pizza night: it’s now been officially established and agreed that the pizza box is, in fact, recyclable.

The news, released in July by the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), corrects a common misconception: the belief that cheese and grease stuck to the boxes would negatively impact recyclability. A study by WestRock, an AF&PA and FBA member company, found that the typical amounts of these contaminants are acceptable, and paper mills that recycle boxes concurred.

“Corrugated pizza boxes are successfully recycled every day at paper mills throughout the country, yet consumers remain confused by mixed messages suggesting that some boxes should not be put in the recycle bin,” said AF&PA President and CEO Heidi Brock. “So, let’s be clear: pizza boxes are recyclable. Consumers should not be concerned about grease or cheese – simply remove any leftover pizza and place the box in the recycle bin. We encourage communities to update their residential recycling programs guidelines to explicitly accept pizza boxes that are free of food.”

There it is!  Think globally, act locally.  Give us a call and we’ll send you a delicious pizza in a box that, when you finish your tasty meal, you can proudly display in your recycle bin!

Independence Day Hours 2020:

We will close one hour early at 10:00pm Friday July 3, 2020 and be closed Saturday July 4th in observance of Independence Day so our employees can enjoy the day with their families.  We will re-open Sunday July 5 at 4pm and resume our regular business hours.

Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory wishes you and yours a wonderful 4th of July as we celebrate these United States of America and hopefully reflect on the things that unite us all (especially on our Country’s birthday!)  Happy 4th!

Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020

Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory will be closed Easter Sunday April 12, 2020 so our staff members can enjoy the holiday with their families. We will re-open for our regular hours at 10:00am on Monday April 13. Have a wonderful Easter!

COVID-19 Update: Pizza Factory is OPEN.

UPDATE: March 23, 2020
According to the Ohio Department of Health Director’s Stay at Home Order and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security restaurants offering carry-out and delivery are part of the “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce” and “need to be able to operate resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response.”

So in accordance with our government’s directives and guidance, Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory will be OPEN regular hours (except we will close 1 hour earlier Mon-Thurs at 10pm) with carry-out and delivery service.

We encourage you to have a completely “contact-less” delivery by paying over the phone with a credit/debit card (and you can also tip your delivery driver over the phone), and then give us directions on where your delivery driver should leave your order at your home or business.

Thank you for your patronage and Best Wishes to everyone in the coming months.

 

UPDATE: March 15, 2020

Hello to all our friends. Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory is OPEN regular hours (except closing one hour early at 10pm Mon-Thurs) with regular service– both carry-out and delivery–, as the directive by Ohio Governor DeWine closing restaurants and bars does NOT apply to our type of business. We are taking precautions recommended by the CDC and we will continue to work hard to provide excellent service to our customers.

 

Sun Powered Pizza! Pizza Factory Is SOLAR !!

Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory has gone SOLAR !!! On Tuesday March 26 our solar panels started producing power and we are officially making partially sun-powered pizza! The system generates 11.9kW of power and should replace about 20% of our electric power usage.  Here is a bird’s eye view of our panels in operation on Day 1 of going SOLAR!

Also installed was an electric vehicle charger and we hope to eventually add an electric vehicle for deliveries.  We learned a lot about solar as this project developed, so feel free to call or email owner Bill Daniels ([email protected]) if you have an interest in going solar as well.  Solar power has reached the point where it is not just a good idea ecologically, but it has become an excellent investment with a very good rate of return! In the meantime, enjoy some sun-powered pizza from Dayton’s Original (Solar!) Pizza Factory.

The Leadbelly Boys pizza pie review in the Dayton Daily News
Exotic Toppings and Snazzy Combos Award Pizza Factory
1101 Wayne Ave. (224-4477)

They like to mess around with pizza at Pizza Factory – and that’s a very good thing. Anybody who loves pizza knows its two locations for offbeat toppings, different cheeses (mozzarella, provolone, Cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan and feta) and weirdly inventive combo pizzas. There’s the Reuben pizza, the Seafood Blanc (a White Pizza with shrimp, crabmeat, etc.), a Chicken Cordon Bleu topped with honey-mustard sauce, ham, Swiss and chicken breast – you name it, they got it. In fact, they invite you to come up with combinations they haven’t thought of yet. Note: Carryout or delivery only…

  • Ray: Pizza Factory is incredibly consistent, and that says a lot. You don’t have to worry about over- or under-done pizza with too little cheese and too much sauce. They get it right every time.
  • Jim: This is a good, solid, well-made pizza built with skilled hands. No shortcuts, and it shows.
  • Ron: With all the attention the toppings get, don’t forget that Pizza Factory’s basic recipe is quite good. Tangy sauce, with a little bite, and an excellent crust.
