In West Virginia, pizza isn’t just a food—it’s a love letter to the state’s rich Italian heritage, with pizzerias rivaling some of the best in the country.
During the early 20th century, Italians immigrated to the Mountain State in search of employment in the coal mines. With them came family recipes and old-world techniques that helped inspire pies of all kinds.
From rustic wood-fired ovens to no-frills local pizzerias, West Virginia’s pizza scene offers a blend of authenticity and regional charm. Whether it’s a perfectly blistered Margherita or a deep dish pie inspired by the Windy City, these pizza spots are some of the most beloved across the state:
