Tonight only, friends! 🚚

I'll start with the goods: Dine in with a DORA cup and we’ll hook you up with a FREE cheesy bread! 🍞 It's our thank-you for supporting TWO downtown local businesses.

Tonight’s the big Kenworth Truck Parade right here in Chillicothe, and we're along route, making us the perfect stop for scratch-made Italian comfort.

Set up your spot outside along the route, then come on in for a hearty meal with your family—kids are SO welcome and parents will love our relaxed environment. Bring your DORA drinks from Tipplers or Old Capitol Brewing (they’re nearby and totally encouraged!). We’ve got the delicious Italian dishes, they’ve got the great drinks—it’s a perfect team-up that helps everyone enjoy the night.

We do get very busy for this fun event, so we highly recommend making a reservation now so you don’t miss out (especially for parties of 5 or more). Make reservations through Yelp or view our menu at eatlievita.com. See you tonight! ❤️

*Free cheesy bread valid tonight only with purchase of an entrée when you bring in your DORA beverage. One per table while supplies last.

After feedback from some of our guests, we decided to increase the amount of cheese on our Bianca pizza! This new variation has been a huge hit…it starts with our cold-ferment sourdough, garlic confit olive oil, fresh mozzarella, provolone, Amish Gouda and white cheddar, with a final sprinkle of Parmesan, garlic and herbs. As always, cheese with no fillers or additives.

PRO TIP: Add a side of our pesto drizzle to dip the crust into. It is divine 🤤

🍕 NEW: Ultra-Thin and Crispy Pizza! 🍕

Chef Joe's been working on this one for months (if you call working "eating pizza every day for breakfast in the name of research) and we’re finally ready to share it with you! Also, I'm joking, he works insanely hard.

Introducing our elevated take on classic Columbus-style pizza: square-cut, heavier on the toppings, and built on a ridiculously thin sourdough crust (just 0.052" thick when it hits the brick oven — thinner than a dime!). It’s ultra-crispy, light, and still sturdy enough for all the good stuff on top.

We’re talking our scratch-made sauce + a melty, stretchy blend of mozzarella, provolone, Amish white cheddar, and gouda.

This is a test run before my husband competes with this style in October, so we need your feedback! What do you think? Too thin? Just right? More cheese? Hit us with your thoughts.

Available today and Saturday — perfect timing for those heading to Brewfest in Chillicothe!

Come taste it and tell us what you love (or what we should tweak). We can’t wait to hear from you!

🎂 Happy Birthday to our sweet little Izzy! 🎂

Today our youngest is 3 years old. We are outrageously blessed with the family we have been given, to love and to nurture.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know the tradition — our amazing pizza family always sends interest-related GIFs for our kids. She’s currently obsessed with baby dolls, picking wild flowers, and all the “birdies” she spots on our walks. Drop your favorites below and help us make her day even brighter! 🐦🌼

We’re so grateful for this community that feels like family. Thank you for celebrating with us!

❤️ Lievita & Family

Hey friends, exciting news! ❤️

We’re thrilled to let you know that Lievita in Chillicothe, Ohio is running on regular online hours again with even more ways to enjoy our scratch-made Italian-American dishes. You can now order quickly and easily through our website at eatlievita.com, Toast, Toast Local, DoorDash, and (NEWLY) Uber Eats!

Quick tips for the smoothest experience:
• The fastest and most accurate way to order is online at eatlievita.com
• Phone orders are still welcome (our phone is ON!), but the team is often helping guests in-house, so there may be a short wait — just real life at a small, family-owned spot.
• For large pizza orders during peak times, please allow a little extra time as our system catches up to the demand.

We may briefly pause online ordering if things get too busy, but we’ll flip it back on quickly. Thanks for your understanding and continued support!

We know how tough it can be to find clean, indulgent Italian comfort that actually leaves you feeling good afterward — especially when you’re juggling a busy life. That’s why we’ve made it simpler than ever for you to grab grass-fed beef lasagna, fresh local egg pasta dishes, or one of our sourdough pizzas without any hassle.

We’re so proud of my husband Joe — his cheese pizza ranked 25th best in the world and 3rd in the Midwest — and we’re grateful for all of you who helped us triple sales overnight. Come experience it for yourself!

In the video, you’ll see a sizzling Ezzo pepperoni pizza baked well-done at a guest’s request (not our normal bake — just a heads-up if the video looks a little dark!). If classic cheese pizza isn’t quite your cup of tea, no worries — our cheese pizza probably won’t change your life, but you should definitely try our Ezzo pepperoni pizza, our #1 seller.

Reserve your table or place your order today at eatlievita.com — we can’t wait to welcome you. Share this with a friend who deserves some proper Italian comfort food!

Warmly,
The Lievita Family
Chillicothe, Ohio

I didn't even realize today was International Family Day (I promise!) when I typed this but it's so fitting...

I was chatting with a friend today about food choices and my “why” came up:

This isn’t about performance, trends, or keeping up with anyone else. For me, it’s deeply personal; Getting to know my great-grandma and grandparents — feeling their love, learning their stories and lost skills — has been one of life’s greatest gifts.

I picture my kids growing up, having families of their own someday, and those children having their own, and I want to be there for all of it. Playing tag, lifting them up so they can “walk on the ceiling like Spiderman,” maybe coaching a team or two and later helping my (great) grandbabies thrive. My great grandma graced us all the way to 103. That kind of longevity and joy is the legacy I’m after. I want to be there. Present. Involved. For as long as possible.

I know I'm not the only one. That’s why at Lievita in Chillicothe, Ohio, we’re committed to using nutritious, quality ingredients. I realize we were put on the pizza map, but even as we grow, we won’t change what we do unless it makes the food even healthier. I want to be part of something I feel good about.

We may not be every single meal, and there are more pieces to this puzzle than food alone, but we’re proud to be one of your conscious choices.

We thoroughly enjoy being a positive part of your life and supporting those healthy habits.

So… what’s your why? Drop it in the comments — I’d love to hear. ❤️

We can't wait to welcome all the incredible moms to Lievita. You've poured so much love into your families all year — and now, we're honored to take care of you! 💖

Hey friends and family — we need your help spreading the word! 🍝

We're still looking for more:

Bakers
Prep cooks
Line cooks
Pizza makers
Hospitality specialist (host)
Servers, including daytime

You don't need restaurant experience. We care way more about solid job history, integrity, a genuine desire to do well, and treating people right. If you want to be part of a growing restaurant, learn new skills, make an impact on your community, and get 1% better every single day in a supportive environment — we want to talk to you.

We have the hours available and can start good people soon.

How to join us:

Drop off a resume any time
Apply on Indeed
Or swing by between 2-4 PM on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday — we'll chat

This is more than a job. It's a chance to learn, grow, and help create meals that make people feel taken care of. If that sounds like you, come see us.

Share this post if you can — the more great people we bring on, the more we can be there for all of you with the food and hospitality you love. Thank you for being part of the Lievita family. ❤️

A few updates for you, Lievita Fam:

- Because of the wonderful demand you’ve been bringing our way, we’ve hired a fantastic group of new team members. They’re still training hard, but they’re already doing such a great job and we couldn’t be more excited to have them on board.

- Our phones are ON so we can take care of your special requests and make sure every guest feels truly cared for. Just a heads-up though — if the kitchen gets busy (which we love!), we may need to pause phone orders to keep everything coming out hot and fresh.

- You can order online at eatlievita.com until 5 PM daily.

- We’ve read every single piece of feedback you’ve shared — the good, the constructive, all of it. We talk about it as a team and keep making little improvements. I even fixed a few kinks on the new website to make it easier for you.

- If you ever want to reach the owners directly, just email [email protected]. We do work in the business full time, so please allow us time to respond. We are not a corporate conglomerate that has an entire department dedicated to this. And we care a lot more than they do because every single interaction is our livelihood at stake.

- Reservations for up to 12 can be made through Yelp.

Thank you for being so patient and loyal as we grow. We know life gets hectic for busy parents and active families, and we’re here to make one part of your day simpler and more delicious — no compromise on quality or taste.
