From the outside of this pizza joint, you’d never guess there’s a secluded patio tucked away behind it. It feels a little like discovering Narnia. Except instead of a magical lion waiting for you, there’s wood-fired pizza, locally made craft soda, and an old-school car covered with toys.

We feel like you need to know something immediately. This place started with a guy running a wood-fired pizza business out of a Subaru. For five years. Which tells you about the level of commitment happening here. You don’t do that unless you’re absolutely obsessed with making incredible pizza.

And that obsession shows up in every single pie.

The pizzas lean heavily into seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. So much so that the owner literally forages for mushrooms himself. As in, this man is wandering through the woods collecting ingredients so your pizza can have the freshest mushrooms possible.

Again. The commitment levels? Peak.

The menu keeps things interesting too, with rotating pizzas of the month and a Chef’s Choice pizza. Choose the latter to throw caution to the wind in the best possible way. Let the kitchen create a completely unique flavor experience based on seasonal ingredients and creativity. And maybe your vibe as a human being. Like a mood ring in pizza form. 

Or like Russian Roulette, but with pizza. Except instead of danger, you get deliciousness. Like burrata, wild mushrooms, and hot honey.

They’ve also got gluten-free options available, so nobody has to sit there sadly eating a side salad while everyone else lives their best pizza life.

But if you’re someone who believes carbs should always come with extra cheese, the garlic bread pizza boat deserves your attention. It’s exactly as over-the-top and glorious as it sounds. 

The drinks deserve their own moment, too. They’re serving exclusive locally made craft sodas that you literally can’t find anywhere else. Because they know a slice of chewy, savory pizza goes down best with a bubbly soda. 

Seriously, this place feels less like grabbing dinner and more like discovering one of Columbus’s coolest little food secrets. Because coming to GoreMade feels like you’ve accidentally stumbled into someone’s cool backyard party — except you’re invited.
