Our Story 

Columbus tradition

Joseppi's Founder Robert H. Thompson

Welcome to Joseppi’s Pizza, a family-owned tradition rooted in Columbus’ west side. Since 1969, we’ve been crafting award-winning pizzas and serving our neighbors with the same care and dedication that founder Robert Thompson brought to the Hilltop community over five decades ago.

 

At Joseppi’s, quality has always been our secret ingredient. We make everything from scratch—our dough, our signature sauce, and even our own sausage. These traditions, paired with a commitment to using the freshest ingredients, ensure every pizza is a celebration of flavor. It’s no wonder we’ve been recognized locally and nationally for our craft, earning accolades like the Columbus Pizza Challenge Grand Champion and Gold Medal honors at the Grove City Pizza Olympics.

 

The story of Joseppi’s is also a story of family. Robert Thompson passed his love for pizza and community down to his son Chuck Thompson, who took over the business in 1998. Chuck’s passion and vision helped put Joseppi’s on the map, earning us features in national publications like Pizza Today and Okidata’s Restaurant of the Month. Even after Chuck’s passing in 2018, his legacy continues through his cousin Brian Baker, who grew up learning the art of pizza-making and community-building from Robert.

 

Under Brian’s leadership, we’re proud to honor our roots while embracing fresh ideas to better serve you, our neighbors. Whether you’ve been a loyal customer for decades or are trying us for the first time, you’ll taste the difference in every bite—a difference born of tradition, hard work, and our deep connection to the Hilltop.

 

Thank you for letting us be part of your story. We’re more than just a pizza shop; we’re a part of the neighborhood, and we’re here to keep serving you the best pizza around.
