I’ll never forget the first time I was walking into Findlay Market and passed Eli’s BBQ. The smell stopped me in my tracks. I turned my head and instantly fell in love.
There’s something special about people who truly love food. You can feel it. The passion, the care, the sense of togetherness…it felt like love. After one bite, I knew.. this is something I needed on our menu.
At the time, I didn’t even know if something like this would ever be possible. I mean…what an honor it is to have your name attached to something Cincinnati is known for?! 🥹
So this moment feels surreal. I am so grateful for the opportunity to now bring a piece of Cincinnati here to Poseidon’s Pizza, it means everything to us! 🍕❤️

When I first tasted one of their BBQ pizzas, I was impressed by how perfectly the sweet and smoky flavors blended with the cheesy, crispy pizza base.
