Meet Our New TikTok Dining Correspondent

By

Ben Smith has  spent most of life in the north Dayton area (Troy). He owns a small business and travels to car dealerships around a 16 county territory. He’s been doing this for 7 years and has always been drawn to the “honey holes” restaurants. So for his lunch he’ll stop and check them out these eateries. His father is a HUGE yelper with over a million views and 1000 reviews. He decided to piggy back off what he does is to do videos, so I started using tik tok.”

He calls his tik tok videos “straight bussin” which he says comes from my teenage children. They, and all the gen z kids, have new slang words that I’ve picked up and started using to make them cringe. (Bussin’ means really good, great)

We asked him about his favorite foods and he says, “I LOVE Clam chowder, Rueben’s, and Indian food. I‘ll try anything and I firmly believe that if it’s edible and prepared right, anything can be delicious!”

We asked him if he had to pick his final meal and here’s what he shared:

pepercorn crusted sea bass (Salar)
Pimento bacon biscuit (Salt Block Company)
Stewed tomatoes (Pine Club)
2 slices of artichoke Oakey Dokey pizza w/ extra cashew ricotta (Wheat Penny)
English tea cake for desert (Cold Water Cafe)

So now we’ve decided to share his video’s on local restaurants. Since he’s from Troy, it seems only right that we share this one on the eve of the opening of the 4th Old Scratch Pizza, which has remodeled the old fire house into a great eatery.

Dave Portnoy’s “One Bite” Pizza Reviews For Dayton

By

David Portnoy is an American blogger and founder of the sports and popular culture blog Barstool Sports. One Bite with Davey Pageviews is an internet show that Portnoy created, which consists of him reviewing pizza restaurants around the world ranking them for 0 to 10.

In town for the NCAA basketball he asked on Twitter for pizza recommendations in Dayton to do his One Bite reviews. His first  visit was to the  the Marion’s Piazza on Shroyer.

“This is Midwest pizza,” said Portnoy after tasting a corner piece. “The thin, like crispy — which I’m starting to grow to appreciate if you do it right.”

He continued on, trying another piece and commenting on the little grease and sizes of the slices. “I actually like this,” he said. “I’m gonna score this higher than people think. I’ll go 7.4.”

Next he went on to visit Old Scratch Pizza‘s downtown location. He shares that this was the most recommended spot from his online survey.  Not normally a fan of Neapolitan pizza, but owner Eric Soller points out that their pizza is “Midwestern Neapolitan.”  He rated this cheese pizza a 7.7 and said “Old Scratch be proud of yourself.”

He even posed for photo’s with the Old Scratch crew:

Jo, GM, Eric the owner, Dave Portnoy and Erin, Director of Operations.

His parting comment, “Dayton, I’ve gone to two places and I would go back to both happily.” To see more of his One Bite Review, check him out on YouTube.

3rd Old Scratch Pizza Location Open in Beavercreek!

By

Old Scratch Beavercreek will open to the public for dine in and carry out service January 4, 2023 at 4pm.

Similar to the first two locations in downtown Dayton and Centerville, the newest Old Scratch  features seating for 150 guests in a communal beer-hall style setting and a 16 seat bar, with 20 rotating taps of regional craft beers. A patio remodel is planned for the spring.

The open kitchen allows guests to watch the pizza making process, from dough stretching and topping, to seeing the pizzas bake in one of the three wood-fired pizza ovens.

“The Old Scratch Beavercreek team has worked hard setting up the space, practicing in the kitchen, and internalizing the Old Scratch approach to exceptional service,” Owner, Eric Soller, says about the new restaurant launch. “We are excited to open the doors to the public on January 4th, and hope new and old Old Scratch fans come out to see us.”

Mr.Soller and the whole crew at Old Scratch Beavercreek look forward to becoming a part of the Beavercreek community and providing guests with the Old Scratch experience.

Old Scratch Pizza’s 2nd Location Now Open

By

After much anticipation the Washington Township Old Scratch Pizza is now open!    Owner Eric Soller proudly shares that with assistance from architecht Matt Sauer and Real Art, he was able to create a casual, open feeling communal hall that will seat over 200 guests.  While it looks much bigger than the downtown location, he says if you include the patio and party room downtown, that they both seat about the same number of guests. The exact same menu will be served at both locations.

One of the major differences is that the new pizza hall features 3 wood-burning ovens, (one more than downtown) and they’ve added a back entrance and designated parking for To-Go orders.  Look for their on-line ordering to be operational in just a few weeks!

Soller was able to staff the restaurant by bringing some staff from the downtown location, including General Manager Erin Rogers, who helped hire about sixty employees for the new spot.

The 12,000 square foot building, which used to be Centerville Home Fireplace & Patio also has room for 2 more businesses.  One of those will be a juice bar, Power Plant, run by the folks that ran the Shakery food truck.  No word yet on what the 3rd spot will be.

OSP is also bringing their popular Cones For A Cause program to the new location and you’ll find the free cones at the bar at this suburban spot.  Guests are asked to make a donation for the ice cream cones, and each month a different local
non-profit is the beneficiary of those funds.

Since it’s inception this Old Scratch program has generated over $70,000 for community projects and Old Scratch Pizza is even being honored by the Association of Fundraising Professional  at the Dayton National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon on November 15th.

Old Scratch Pizza Serves Up Cones For a Cause

By

The Patterson Blvd. Pizza place that opened this past fall is not only serving up some of the best thin crust pizza in town, they’ve also created a program that is giving back to our area nonprofits.

Old Scratch Pizza make soft serve ice cream to serve to their guests.  They don’t charge for the cones, instead they ask for a small donation.  Each month Old Scratch Pizza collects and donate all monies to a chosen charity organization.

They kicked off the program in November of 2016 with  Secret Smiles, an organization that provides beds and bedding for children in the Miami Valley, then in December partnered with Clothes That Work, who provide workplace appropriate clothing, confidence building education and coaching services to job seekers. In January OSP chose Equitas Health, one of the nation’s largest HIV/lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) healthcare organizations.  Last month the featured charity was Girls On the Run, who inspires girls to take charge of their lives and define the future on their terms.

For March they’ve chosen another great organization as this month’s “Cones for a Cause” recipient. Owners Eric and Stephanie Soller shared they  “are really excited to be partnering with House of Bread, who deliver hot, nutritious meals to anyone in need 365 days a year. This kind of resource is so needed in our community. So come on down, have a cone, and make a difference.”

Bonus opportunity: Put Tuesday March 21st on your calendar for a “Restaurant Takeover” to support House of Bread. Volunteers from the group will be there pouring beers, and serving up ice cream cones, and 10% of the proceeds between 6-9 go to the organization!

If you know of an organization that would be interested in being a “Cones for a Cause” charity, please fill out the online form found at the bottom of their webpage.

Visit Old Scratch Pizza at 812 S. Patterson Road for lunch or dinner.  Pizzas are artfully prepared to order and cooked in a wood-burning oven until perfectly flame-kissed. Pair your pie with a specialty house cocktail or regional craft beer in our open-air, casual, and communal hall.  Also on the menu, some great salads, their Whole Roasted Cauliflower, sandwiches and yes, they have gluten free pizza crust available.  They are open Tuesday- Thursday from 11am – 10pm, Friday & Saturday’s they stay open an hour later until 11pm and Sunday from 11am – 9pm.
