The Flavor Heavyweight

Welcome to Commons Pizza & Cinnamon Rolls—a place where bold flavors meet a deeper connection to community and culture.

Born from the spirit of TolHouse, Toledo’s premier Members-only social club, Commons began as an exclusive menu item, quickly winning the hearts (and appetites) of our Members. The demand was undeniable—rave reviews and a consistent call to “bring it back” made it clear we were onto something special.

Our founder, Will Lucas, grew up in Toledo and has always been committed to creating spaces that bring people together. In addition to founding TEDxToledo, an event designed to spotlight ideas and stories that inspire the city, Will created TolHouse—a 25,000 sq. ft. riverfront club designed to spark connection and creativity, with spaces like Lucille’s Jazz Lounge and Earth Coffeehouse. It was within this dynamic space that Commons was born and built its loyal following. Now, we’re taking that same spirit and expanding it into something bigger.

Our menu is a love letter to bold flavor: artisan pizza with locally sourced ingredients, scratch-made Kota Cinnamon Rolls that melt in your mouth, and our signature WBWs (World’s Best Wings), famous for their crisp texture and unforgettable taste.

So, whether you’re catching up with friends over a slice at TolHouse, grabbing carryout for a night in, or indulging in the magic of our cinnamon rolls, you’re part of a bigger story—one that celebrates Toledo’s past, present, and future.

Welcome to Commons. Let’s eat!
