About Mac’s Pizza pub Clifton
In 2005, the original Mac’s Pizza pub in clifton heights just off the UC campus opened its doors to the public for the first time.
About The Clifton Location
Founded on the idea that old-world, hand-crafted pizza should be readily available and affordable, we became a hot spot for college students and locals to enjoy a fun night out without breaking the bank. And we never looked back.

Mac’s Pizza Pub Testimonials
Mac’s is one of my favorite places in Clifton. My college roommate and I like to visit when the students are gone between semesters to avoid students and the crowds. It’s also easier to park when students are gone and it’s one of the few restaurants in Clifton with a parking lot that’s free. They’re well known for their Friday pizza buffets, but they have loaded tater tots and they are the best. If Clifton is hard to get to, they also have other locations in town. The loaded tots alone are worth the trip.
This place is awesome! Fun events, Trivia, music on the weekend, cheap drinks, great pizza; definitely the dive bar you want to go check out. The bartenders are all helpful, friendly, and a pleasure to talk to! The food is well priced as well; check out the fried pickles!!
“Know what you do and do it well. Word of mouth about our good food and great service is what’s kept us going all these years. We’re a team of hardworking misfits that fit together and Mac’s is where we feel like we belong.” – Mac
Our pizza is expertly crafted using homemade dough, hand-shredded cheese, and the finest ingredients on the market. We put the same level of detail into everything on our menu, so you can’t go wrong any way you order. Plus, we have an extensive beer list and daily specials on cocktails, guaranteeing the perfect experience every time you visit.

Meet Mac
Mac began his foray into bars and wineries in high school and continued through college, working at local restaurants all over Put-In Bay. If you ask him what first drew him to the industry, he’ll laugh and tell you “Same thing as Anthony Bourdain. I was hungry and needed money and wanted to meet girls and drink beer.”
What makes Mac special isn’t what brought him into the fold, but what kept him here: Mac genuinely loves taking care of people and has a passion for crafting the perfect menu using high-quality ingredients and time-honored traditions. His dedication to excellence has resulted in the brand’s expansion to 4 other successful locations across Greater Cincinnati and numerous awards, including Best Entree at Taste of Cincinnati.
Married with 2 kids, Mac and his family live in Clifton and are proud of their impact on the community. They’ve helped each owner make a success of their franchise location and believe that if there’s an interest and a passion, we can help make their dreams a reality.
