A thin-crust, square-cut pie with pepperoni laid edge to edge and a crisp bottom. The pizza was codified at Donatos on Thurman Avenue in 1963 by Jim Grote and remains the city's defining regional pie.
Ohio State sophomore Jim Grote bought the original Donatos location on Thurman Avenue in German Village on May 31, 1963 for $1,300 and codified the Columbus thin-crust square pie with pepperoni edge to edge. The chain expanded to 400 plus locations across 30 states and reopened the original Thurman Avenue location in 2023 for its 60th anniversary. The Columbus square pie distinguishes itself from New York fold-style and Chicago deep-dish by its airy thin crust, square cut and topping discipline.
