Ohio has some major attractions — the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and the Cincinnati Zoo, among others.
Now, the Buckeye State can add the “Best Bathroom in America” to the list.
That’s according to Cintas, a corporation headquartered in Cincinnati that helps businesses with management needs. Cintas previously announced the 10 finalists of its 20th annual America’s Best Restroom® contest, and the honor went to Two Cities Pizza, located at 202 W Main St in Mason, Ohio. According to Cintas:
“The Cintas America’s Best Restroom Contest showcases the best public restrooms in the U.S. and awards one lucky winner with $2,500 in Cintas products and services. Ten finalists are selected based on cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements. The finalist that receives the most votes from the public will be crowned America’s Best Restroom.”
Two Cities Pizza Co. celebrated winning the contest by thanking “all of you who voted and helped us flush away the competition.” Founders Sean Spurlock and Zach Greves said in a statement:
"We are excited and thankful that Two Cities Pizza has the best bathroom in America! We encourage everyone to visit Two Cities and enjoy it for what it is, an experience!"
Here’s what Cintas said of Two Cities Pizza's bathroom experience:
“Walking into Two Cities Pizza Company is nothing short of an experience. Two of America’s most iconic cities, New York and Chicago, live loudly in the decor and atmosphere of this concept restaurant. Taxis surround the building, steel girders line the ceiling, Wrigley Field is paid tribute to with an ivy wall and 400-foot marker, but the most talked about element of this brand aside from the pizza itself, is the New York City subway station. The restroom is fully outfitted with a subway platform, train car, station stops playing over the speaker, authentic subway handles above the sinks, and even graffiti on the walls. A properly taken selfie sent to a friend in New York is good enough to convince them you made a surprise visit to the Big Apple. Just make sure you get off at the right stop before your pizza gets cold.”
