Regional Roundup · Chatham
Discover Chatham's top pizza spots, from traditional Italian to wood-fired kitchens. Local favourites and hidden gems.
Chatham's pizza scene has evolved beyond delivery chains and frozen crusts. The city is home to a collection of pizzerias and Italian restaurants where the owners actually care about their dough, their sauce, and where their ingredients come from.

Centro's open kitchen makes you watch your pizza emerge from proper heat and craftsmanship. Steve's focuses on doing fundamentals right, day after day. Crow City approaches pizza with artisanal creativity. Match pairs their pies with legitimate beer and ribs. Each restaurant earned its reputation by respecting what pizza demands: quality, consistency, and a reason for you to choose them over everywhere else.
