OH Pizza & Wings Closes on Hilliard Rome; Smash Shack Plans Fall Takeover
The pizzeria at 1050 Hilliard Rome Road shuttered earlier in 2026; Delaware's Smash Shack aims to open its second dining room there this fall.
OH Pizza & Wings has gone dark on Hilliard Rome Road, and a Delaware smash-burger room is lining up to take the bay this fall. The pizzeria at 1050 Hilliard Rome Road closed earlier in 2026; 614NOW reports the reason for the shutter remains unclear.
Smash Shack Burger Company, based in Downtown Delaware, says on social media that it plans to open in the former pizza storefront this fall. The Hilliard stop would be the concept's second brick-and-mortar dining room after 81 Lake Street in Delaware, which opened in September 2023. Smash Shack also runs a mobile unit for corporate events and private bookings.

What Smash Shack brings
The Delaware menu leans on Ohio Angus smash burgers, wings, and loaded fries. That mix gives west-side diners a different late-lunch and dinner hook than the pizza-and-wings template the bay held before. If the fall timeline holds, Hilliard Rome gets a second physical Smash Shack while the Lake Street original keeps pouring in Delaware.
For now, the practical takeaway is twofold: OH Pizza & Wings is closed at 1050 Hilliard Rome Road, and Smash Shack is the named successor for a fall opening rather than an open-ended vacancy. The swap keeps a working kitchen address on a busy west-side commercial strip instead of leaving another dark storefront through the holiday season.
Hilliard diners who used the pizza counter for weeknight takeout will need a new default until Smash Shack posts a firm door date. Delaware customers already know the smash-burger cadence; the Hilliard room is meant to clone that format closer to the I-270 west side.
How to plan around the swap
Hilliard regulars hunting a burger night can watch Smash Shack's channels for a confirmed opening week. Until then, keep the Delaware room on the map if you want the brand's current kitchen, and treat the Hilliard Rome address as a coming counter rather than a live one.
