Stopped by for dinner and it was sooo good! I ordered Duck pizza (your own 5 toppings) and my wife got the Colossal calzone. Made my own supreme pizza that had sausage, peppers, onions, spinach and garlic. Our server Gage suggested both come dirty which is their special seasoning and it was definitely a good call. Lots of leftovers to enjoy another day.

I definitely regret not trying this place sooner! Tonight we ordered 3 pizzas for carryout - a Chicken Ranch, A Nacho Daddy, and one "dirty" Ugly Duck. We loved our pizza! It tasted great and was LOADED with toppings. Price was on point. But what really stands out for me was the service. Everyone was so friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we had a good experience. It's been a long time since we've been somewhere that cared that much about customer service. Tonight was our first time at Ugly Duck, but won't be our last!

I enjoyed the Dirty Pizza! It has a unique taste that I enjoyed. You put on 5 topping and a unique sauce. I'm glad I got it. It was really good. Next time I'm in Wooster I will get another Dirty Pizza. It was delicious!

This place was great! Trying to find a spot to eat heading back to Dayton from Cleveland was kind of a pain while being unfamiliar with the area, but this place showed up online and it was in fact a great spot that I’ve never heard of, the motto of this place. Food was yum, I had the chicken Alfredo and jalapeno poppers. Our server was great, quick and cordial! Next time I’m in Wooster I will find my way there!

A nice hidden gem. This was about the best f’ing pizza that I have had in a very long time. So good I had to buy a round of beers for the kitchen staff!! If you are near or far you need to stop in and grab a bite to eat and an ice cold beverage. Leave with a full belly and a smile on your face. The Ugly Duck is the place to go. Oh and don’t forget, get that PIZZA, DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY. You won’t regret it.

I decided to visit this place off of a recommendation from the staff of the hotel that I was staying at, and it was a fantastic experience!! All of the food was delicious, but the ribs were some of the best that I have had in a while!! Our waitress was extremely kind and patient and answered all of our questions. My only constructive criticism would be to specify that the sauce on the wings is more of a BBQ sauce with varied heat levels, as I ordered them thinking they would be like Buffalo wings. 10/10 experience, though, as they were still delicious.

I had heard a lot of good things about the Ugly Duck, and I was not misled. The food was really good and the staff was friendly and attentive. It's not very big inside, so I imagine when really busy it can get crowded with wait times. We went at 6: 30 and we got seated promptly. They also have a really nice outdoor dining area as well, so that probably helps during busy times when the weather is good. I got the Cajun chicken Alfredo and my wife got the BIG fish sandwich. It was indeed a big fish sandwich. The soup that came with the pasta was amazing. I forget what it is called, but it had a perogie on the bottom and had chicken and veggies and was nice and spicy. We will definitely be back to try out their pizza.

First time here and we arrived just as they opened at 3pm on Saturday. We checked that they allowed dogs on the patio, and they do. We were immediately greeted by the wait staff after I said we’d seat ourselves. Service was great, for us and our pup. Reese was so happy to see our server as well as the water dish she brought out. Other staff came out to greet her as well and she got lots of lovin’. I really appreciate dog-friendly venues and give kudos to the owners for allowing this. We’ll definitely be back to try additional specialties our server told us about. We simply split the chili cheese fries and pretzel with pulled pork, mac n cheese and coleslaw which was more than we could eat between the 2 of us (and Reese Cup). We lived in Cincinnati for a bit and hope the owner decides to add Cincinnati-style spaghetti to the menu as we think their chili will pair perfectly!
