How so? Below is what google says and it sounds good to me...
"What is Ohio style pizza?
Pizza from Ohio is unique in its presentation and taste. The pizza is round, but the pieces are cut into small squares with toppings, cheese, and sauce extending all the way to the edge of the pizza. The crust is ultra-thin, closer to resembling a cracker than a traditional pizza crust."
That’s a different style. There is Ohio style and then there is Ohio Valley style, which originated in Steubenville. In Ohio Valley style they bake the dough and sauce and then put provolone cheese and the toppings on after the dough and sauce are done baking.How so?

After. Because they’re psychopaths.
What years did you go there? After 2010, or so, it went downhill big time. Before that and for decades, it was very good.
It certainly is terrible,... strangely enough, their chicken is pretty good though.
Yes. CSB time. One time my buddy and I were trout fishing in NE Iowa. We were driving through Elgin, IA and stopped for gas and snacks at the shitty little "Guppys" gas station there. When we were paying, my buddy noticed an employee pulling a fresh pizza out of the oven in the kitchen. He expected it to just be a cheap small town gas station pizza, so he bought 2 slices, one for me and one for him. I will admit, it looked extra cheesy. The appearance was not bad. We get back to the vehicle, and each take a bite. It was disgusting. The cheese, was not cheese. I don't know what it was. It had a cheesy consistency but it had no taste. Absolute zero taste to it. The sauce tasted like tomato sauce that had been stored for years in a rusty container (probably was). And the crust was hard, and inedible.
We still joke about how bad it was. And we also stopped there again just for shits and giggles the last time we were up there. Didn't buy any pizza that time though.
I haven't tried Ohio style, to my knowledge, but this looks pretty good to me:
Looks would be deceiving if that’s St Louis or Punxsutawney style. They look like a nice Chicago thin/Milwaukee style or tavern style pizza but it’s the horrendously super sweet sauce (and the absolutely disgusting Provel cheese which tastes like a sweet American Kraft cheese food slice) that makes it terrible. Anything is ruined by the sauce. You have to try it (and then regret it) to understand why it’s so awful. It’s not “school lunch” pizza level sweet, it’s almost breakfast syrupy sweet.
It was pointed out by someone else that I conflated Ohio Style with Ohio Valley Style. The Ohio Style indeed looks like a tavern style pizza, and delicious. The Ohio Valley Style looks terrible.
