St. Francis Apizza
3392 Erie Ave., East Hyde Park
In true hidden gem fashion, St. Francis Apizzas brick-and-mortar location in East Hyde Park doesnt look like anything special. Its a clean, well-lit little kitchen and counter designed only for customers to pick up their order; no dine-in at present. Once that pizza box is open, though, things start to get great. Apizza distinguishes itself from a pizza with its thin-yet-airy crisp and slightly charred crust, achieved by a coal-fired oven. Review the menu and youll find a point of origin for nearly all the ingredients on your pie, with a special emphasis on local, ethically grown produce and meats that are sourced only a short drive from the pizzeria. If you dont eat the crust, you dont deserve this apizza. Note: St. Francis changed its name from Parlor Pizza Project earlier this year.
Best Bite: If you want to deeply offend a hyperbolous, opinionated pizza-purist prone to overreactions, order the signature Pineapple & Bees BBQ Pork Belly Burnt Ends and prove that pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza.  Sean M. Peters

No. 5 Best Takeout: Gomez Salsa
107 E. 12th St., Over-the-Rhine
Gomez Salsa in Over-the-Rhine has a walk-up takeout window, so it's no wonder it made it on this list of best takeout. Between Gomez's signature turtles  a burrito-sized tortilla stuffed with meat, veggies, salsa and sauce and sealed with a crunchy cheesy kiss  tacos, burritos and fresh drinks, there is something for everyone. Gomez also has a restaurant in Walnut Hills for sit-down dining.
