OK, so the wife says, “I want Pizza” , well it is going on about 11:45PM and I can 't find a yellow pages anywhere. I try Yahoo yellow pages but they do not have hours of operation. I try calling some local pizza places and the only one that is open closes at midnight. I finally find a dead tree yellow pages but it does not list any hours to speak of either. I think it was one of those cheap knock offs of real yellow pages. Next thought, lets try a Google search. I put in some keywords and didn't get any really good hits. Things like 'Columbus Ohio late night pizza' and 'Columbus Ohio after hours pizza'. I start searching on just 'Columbus Ohio pizza' and finally start getting somewhere. There was a review of a place called Hounddog's Three Degree Pizza. They are open 24 hours and not too far away. They are located north of OSU campus at 2657 N. High St. . I managed to convince the wife to hop in the van and we headed up there. We drove right by the place going north. It did not have any kind of lit up sign that I could see. I finally spotted it after I turned around and headed south. It is on the west side of high street. It was about 2:00AM when we got there. It is located between the former Miesses Pharmacy and Mediterranean Foods. It has a back parking lot that was not too full. It was loud. The music was plainly heard from the parking lot. I will add that we visited on March 18 which is the hours following St. Patrick's Day. There were a number of St. Patrick's Day revelers still wandering around with large Styrofoam Irish looking hats. If you want a no smoking section don't come here. If you want snappy service, don't come here. If you want decent pizza and Pepsi products then come and enjoy. We ordered a 14 inch Mushroom and Onion pizza and a Pepsi and a Mt. Dew. The drinks came fairly quickly and the pizza came about 20 minutes later. The review we read said that we should find a place to sit and not too wait for a waitress or a clean table. The table did get cleaned after I walked up to the guy in charge and placed our order. I think if we had waited long enough a waitress would have come by. I thought the pizza was fine. The wife said it needed salt and more cheese. She ate quite a bit of it though so I think she liked it. We were deciding that this was definitely a place for take out orders. I asked for a take out menu but the guy in charge could not find any. For a 14 inch two item pizza and two soft drinks our tab came to $13.00. Not bad as far as that goes. They also do not have a web site. My ranking on this place is as follows.
Rankings are bad, fair, medium, good, and excellent.
Service, medium
Food , good
ambiance, bad (we may try this place at another time as it was the morning after St. Patrick's day.
Value good
Overall medium-good
If you are craving Pizza at 4:00AM this is probably the only show in town.
We did not try out the bathrooms so I can not report on them.
Babe and Stud watching, well, there were guys and gals here and some of them were OK looking. Being the hour that it was there were a fair number of Goth types. The wife said that she did not see any real dangerous types and the place did not feel dangerous to her even at the hours we were there.
I forgot to include the vital info so I am pasting it here on the bottom.

A friend found that if you wait until after 3:00AM to order your pizza you
will have to go to the location to order it. Apparently too many drunks
were ordering pizza and then forgetting to come pick it up.
