Powerhouse Pizza

I was happily surprised by this place.  I've passed the place probably 200 times without stopping.  Camden always had such a bad reputation, especially for people from Eaton and I lived in Eaton for two years, so I heard a lot about Camden.

Pizza is something I can't refuse but I also don't want to spend good money on bad pizza.  It's strangely more emotional than other foods evoke in me.

If you must know, when I have to have pizza, I would rather have Cassano's, Noble Romans, or Godfather's but Little Caesars will do in a pinch.  There are a few non-chain places like Adriatic Pizza in New Falls (township), PA that make great pizza that I have frequented.

One thing you might think is that they have almost no parking.  The spaces along SR725 are the only spaces you can see from the road but there were several spaces at the opposite end of the building.

So, I walked into the restaurant and was greeted immediately.  I was told that someone would be with me in a moment but the place was busy.  I told him that it was my first time there and I would probably need time anyway, and he was telling me about specials and the woman came over to pick up items for the drive-thru, and was explaining them further.

I ended up ordering a 10 inch deluxe with a Mello Yello.  The pizza was a bit bigger than Cassano's 9 inch but a bit cheaper, and fountain drinks get free refills.

Of course, it took a while to get the food, and I needed the restroom and was surprised that it was extremely clean.  In fact, the whole place was tidy, even my table.

The woman brought the pizza to my table, after asking if I wanted it for "here or to go", with a plate.  It looked very much like a Cassano's pizza--I worked at Cassano's for 2 years.  I saw a lot of them.  Eaton has a Cassano's franchise, so I started to wonder if other things were similar.

The great taste was there but there was one problem--they need to scrape and sweep their oven because it had the taste of burnt dough, even though the crust was not quite that dark.  Still, it was very, very good, and I would recommend the place to anyone.

A diamond in the small town of Camden, OH!  If you like a thin crust, this pizza can't be beat!  It's crazy thin and so unique..it's almost like a pastry.  The sauce is excellent!  They have a Meatza Pizza that is crazy good, but you can't even go wrong with just cheese!  Be sure to ask for the garlic butter for dipping!
