Old Scratch Pizza
Who are you?
Old Scratch Pizza is a business. More specifically, a restaurant business. There are certainly
easier ways to make a living, but we like this one, and we like to surround ourselves with others
who feel the same. In 2016, we opened Old Scratch because it was the kind of restaurant we
wanted to bring our own family. A restaurant that was very casual, but with super-premium
ingredients and exceptional service. Old Scratch currently has three locations – Downtown Dayton, Centerville, and the newly opened Beavercreek restaurant. Old Scratch is in the process of opening a fourth location in
Troy, OH, slated to open in the summer of 2023.

What makes your business special?

What do you love about Dayton?
Dayton is a resourceful city. People create businesses, art, and social programs in untapped
areas of the city from very modest starting points. And, of course, without Dayton and its
residents, there would be no Old Scratch. We continued to be amazed and thankful for the
support and encouragement from our community.
