Jim Ellison

I'm a lifelong resident of Columbus. I began freelance writing with a food focus in 1998 and started one of the original food blogs in Central Ohio, CMH Gourmand, in 2006. Columbus Pizza is my first book, inspired in part, by a pizza tour I led from 2013 to 2019. Columbus has a rich pizza history and there is, indeed, a Columbus Style Pizza.

Good reviews on Amazon, Good Reads and etc. are always appreciated and make a difference in getting the word out to support these small mom and pop pizza shops - they may be a dying breed. (If you leave a 3 or 2 star at least tell me why).

I am interested in your pizza stories: especially if they involve Lombardi's,The Venetian or any 1950's era Columbus Pizzeria - drop me a line.
