Donatos' new Block O pizza is available only in Columbus during the Buckeyes' 2024 season

Donatos has started selling pizzas in the only letter-shape acceptable to a region that regularly crosses out its Ms. The Columbus-based chain, the official pizza sponsor of Ohio State University's athletics program, announced that it will offer Block O pizzas through the end of the current football season.

Truth be told, the Block O pie isn't that much different than any other round pizza. Just blockier, with pepperoni forming the O part and cheese in the middle. But it does take Columbus-style in a new direction and will be available only in Columbus-area restaurants.

The new pizzas are $10 right now when added to any other pizza order.

Donatos is sold at more than 200 locations in 31 states, including some Red Robin burger restaurants. It's also available in Lansing and Livonia, Michigan, where Block O pizzas will not be served.
