Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea, here.

We’re not saying you have to plan a pizza road trip this week, but a spot about an hour from Columbus was just named one of the best in the world. Lievita in Chillicothe earned a top 25 ranking for its cheese pizza at an international competition. Not bad for a first-time entry. The shop has already seen a surge in orders since the announcement. So yeah, maybe it’s time to hit the road!

🌳 Chasing Views? These Are the Most Scenic Spots in Ohio
We’re a couple of weeks into spring, and everything is starting to look incredibly green and gorgeous out there. It’s a great time of year to get out and really take in the beauty of Ohio, and here’s exactly where you should do it.

Headlines 📰 

🏀 Columbus is officially on the clock. With the 2027 Women’s Final Four headed back to Nationwide Arena, planning is already underway to welcome one of the biggest events in college sports. (NBC4)

🚔 ICE says it’s targeting serious offenders in Columbus, but new data shows most people arrested in 2025 had no criminal convictions. (Dispatch)

📰 The Other Paper was an alt weekly that once brought a very different kind of voice to local news. Known for its humor, sharp reporting, and willingness to poke at the city’s power players, it filled a space that doesn’t really exist in Columbus anymore. Decades later, former staffers and readers are still thinking about what made it special. (Columbus Monthly)

☀️ Weather: 47 and sunny
