Love this place! We stumbled upon it after a hike and had the perfect dinner. We waited maybe 20min for a table; it wasn't bad at all and we got to explore the cute little shop next door while we waited. We had the nicest waitresses. They provided such excellent service and our food was amazing. I was worried about not having marinara sauce on the cacio e pepe pizza but I didn't miss it all. Flavors were perfect. We both enjoyed our pizzas and the rustic apple salad. The light fixtures provide a very cool aesthetic. Only bummer was they ran out of the mushroom soup so I didn't get to try it and I am sure it is delicious.
Adorable little pizza shop connected to a market, just a few tables but the vibes are vibin'. We came here after hiking Old Rag and were ready to eat. Based off of other Yelp! reviews, I got the Hog in the Hive. My friend got one of the pasta dishes. I took off one star because the server forgot to take our order for awhile and, as other reviews mentioned, the kitchen can be slow. The food, however, was worth the wait - absolutely delicious! Wish we were from the area as I'd love to come back and try the other pizza options on the menu - the Omni sounded fantastic as well.
This is a cool place. The vibe is good here and everyone working was very friendly. There's a shop, a bar and of course the restaurant itself. The store's wine selection was nice and organized by country, including wines from South Africa, Chile, Lebanon, Oregon and local VA. We ordered a 12" Carnivore to go and it was pretty good. This has been the best pizza we've had in Shen by far and will be our go to when coming through.
Love this spot, always stop by here when we leave Shenandoah. Great pizza and cute little shop attached. We got the supreme pizza this time and it's a 5/5! Definitely wish they had some ranch, but other than that everything was perfect. Definitely stop by here if you're passing through or visiting!
I wanted to love this pizza. I was passing through town and decided to stop to get a pie to-go. I ordered a small veggie with light cheese. What I got...was barely any cheese. I should have checked before I walked out the door and hit the road. I needed to eat it, and tbh I don't remember tasting any cheese on the pieces I ate. For $15 and a 20 minute wait...I expected more and I am extremely disappointed.
Super cute and cozy little restaurant!! Located just a ~30-minute drive away from the main entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Rappahannock Pizza Kitchen is a great pitstop right before (or after) a good hike. The wooden rafters and log-cabin-esque walls give the entire place a rustic, cozy vibe, and they share the space with a little convenience store that's perfect for any last-minute necessities or picnic supplies. The wood-fired pizza is lovely, with a not-too-thick-not-too-thin and slightly charred crust, a generous helping of sauce, and a solid layer of cheese / whatever toppings you request. They do have a few sauceless pizzas, so read the menu carefully before you order! The staff is super friendly and will probably warn you, but still worth taking a look. I typically order their classic margherita, which is delightful -- the pop of freshness from the basil really elevates the overall pizza. You can occasionally get unlucky and get an overcooked pizza, which happened during my second visit here; the crust was a bit too dry and overly charred, but the pizza was still tasty. My pizza during my last visit was totally fine, as were all the pizzas I saw around us during this lunch-time stop, so I assume it was a one-off fluke. Their starters are also all quite tasty! I've tried their burrata and brussels sprouts, both of which are delightful. The burrata comes with a huge serving of hot, melty burrata and delicious tomato mixture. It's paired with their bread, which is soft and pillowy on the inside, with a lovely charred exterior that holds up well to the cheese. It does feel a little bit silly to get bread and cheese right before eating more pizza (aka bread and cheese), but it's very good and absolutely worth a try. The sprouts are also tasty -- I love a good warm salad, and it has a great sweet and savory flavour profile from the balsamic glaze and grated parmesan. The toasted almonds are also a wonderful added crunch! I did find some of the brussels sprouts a little bit too big, which meant a few were a tiny bit undercooked in the center and hard to eat (although I also have a small mouth, so it could be a me problem), but the overall dish was still great!
RPK is fairly close to Mary's Rock (driving) and provides outdoor seating, which is a great option for those hikers with dogs. We opted to get the Veggie Pizza, which was just okay to me and the Chicken Parm, which was a great selection. Our pizza selections took a little longer than we anticipated for them to come out, however, it wasn't an excessively long wait. Overall, RPK was good reward after a beautiful hike at Mary's Rock.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I drove into Sperryville. It looked like a town of 50 people so I wasn't expecting to have much in the choice of good food, but I was very pleasantly surprised! No, there aren't a LOT of choices, but the ones they have are all worth it. Top of the list was Rappahannock Pizza. It was PACKED, and lots of orders being placed to-go (not surprised, given the lack of food options in town) but they were still fast. There's an outdoor upstairs area that a lot of people sat, and the food is great! The Cheese Bread was absolutely the best that I've ever had, and the Hog in the Hive was excellent- lots of kick from the peppers, but cooled off nicely with the honey. If you're in Sperryville, I'm guessing you have no choice but to try this place, but fear not because it could be dropped in any big city and still be extremely popular!
So we ordered ragu soup and a large pizza, thinking we would have extra pizza to bring home. Well, that didn't happen. The pizza was so good we ate everything. It was absolutely fantastic and the service was top notch. She was very attentive and we were very happy.
What a cute place! The wood rafters with the lights were a talking point for us because we love that look! The staff were friendly and helpful! There is a country store attached that is really cute to look around in. We stopped in and found the pictured ice cream sandwiches, and boy were they good! The bread and oil was a fantastic way to start off the meal, as that is one of our favorite things! We added some crushed red pepper to the oil to give it a little extra kick, but it didn't need it. The pizzas were great! They only come in 8" or 12" sizes so you'll probably need to order two! The crust is not too thick and has the wonderful brick oven taste. The chicken Alfredo pizza (12") is the specialty pizza for the month of May. Now read carefully because it does have pesto on it, and personally I found the pesto to be quite overpowering, but still yummy nonetheless! The margarita pizza (12") was absolutely amazing. The ingredients all tasted so fresh! The sauce was a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy, and the fresh basil just really took the flavor a step further! We also got a cheese pizza (8") for our 7 year old who raved that it was the best one she has ever had. Now the price is a little high for 12" of pizza, but so worth it. Give it a try and get the ice cream sandwiches from the country store, you won't regret it!
Finally made it out to check out the pizza and it was as good as I was hoping. We drove out on a rainy Saturday for lunch. Though it was busy, we were able to get a seat right away. Service was quick and the waitress was really great. I kept it pretty basic with the cheese pizza, but added the sausage. My wife got the Hog in the Hive, but skipped the hot peppers. What's nice is we were able to get the special pizza as the 8" even though it wasn't listed for that size. I also decided later to get the Potter's Grapefruit Hibiscus cider. The pizzas came out quickly. The crust is nice and thin, though you need to give a little fold for structural integrity purposes. I'd have liked if the outer edge of crust puffed up a bit more, but if it's homemade dough, you sometimes can get inconsistent rise or even if the temp is a little off in the oven (being really particular here .) Didn't take away from the great flavor of everything. We already want to head back to try out their other pizza.
Great little pizza shop. Honestly the best cheesy bread I have ever had. It is delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning. The Hog in the hive pizza was good it had some sweet honey and spicy peppers.

We randomly found this place while at a local brewery and looking at the menu online was exactly what we were in the mood for! We ordered take out so we could sit outside. They have full dining indoors, but we really appreciated the option to do takeout and enjoy the outdoor space (covered upstairs or a number of picnic tables with umbrellas ground level). They offered a great take out station with plates, napkins, plastic ware, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and water to go! Staff was super friendly and we had about a 20 min wait for our pizzas (the corner store next door made that wait fly by). Ordered the Bianca and the Margarita. A nice wood fired thin crust pizza! We got the 12" pizzas so we were guaranteed leftovers to take back to our airbnb. Highly recommend! read more

Great menu, superb pizza, well-trained and personable servers. Ideal venue for a celebration after hiking in the adjacent Shenandoah National Park. Their "Supreme" pizza truly lives up to its name. One might only wish they were open more than two and a fraction days a week. read more

The BEST. Nothing better than finishing a long hike in the Shenandoahs and knowing that a Rappahannock Pizza is your reward. We've had most of the specialty pizzas. Favorites are the Hog in the Hive, the Carnivore, and the Greens pizzas. They are incredible with the freshest toppings and thin and smoky crusts. Today we had the burrata salad, with roasted tomatoes, plenty of olive oil, the perfect amount of salt, broiled burrata, and the best homemade focaccia to scoop it all up. Also had the house salad and split the white pizza (no tomato sauce) with pork, asparagus, onion and cheese. Many of the ingredients are local and seasonal. Incredible beers by the glass. I just wish I lived closer, that's how much I love this place. Easy parking, friendly service and a cute gourmet/general store attached. read more
Rappahannock Pizza Kitchen is connected to an adorable, cozy grocery store that exudes a farmers market vibe. While we waited for an indoor table, we explored the grocery store. Once back inside the restaurant, we opted for a shared salad and pizza. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident. Though the salad was tasty, it would have been easier to eat if they had chopped the lettuce; it was a bit challenging and messy otherwise. The homemade dressing was undoubtedly a highlight. While the pizza was fresh, next time we'll opt for one with more meat and extra cheese! read more
RPK is a convenient stop after a long hike in Shenandoah. However, it gets quite busy and indoor seating has a long wait. Fortunately, they have quite a few outdoor seating options, but even on a colder day- they have the fans on and no heated lamps. My husband and I were starving after completing a long hike and ordered the chicken parm pizza, not a margherita pizza, herb and fontina risotto cakes. The herb and fontina risotta cakes were probably my favorite since they came with a nice arugula and pine nut salad. The cakes themselves were just okay, but were definitely better than the pizzas. Both pizzas were very dough heavy and light on the actual toppings. We felt like we ate more dough than anything else. It also tasted like they just sprinkled herbs on top instead of baking the pie with it. Even though I am not big on dough-heavy pizza, their dough was quite good. I should have opted for just the cheese bread. Would I come back? Probably not. Even the basque cheesecake we had was underwhelming. read more
This place fills a niche marvelously, being placed in a rustic valley not far off of skyline drive, the sort of area one might want to stop at during a day of hiking and exploration. The atmosphere inside includes a large vaulted ceiling, and the menu promises pizza with farm to table ingredients. They had a decent pick of vegetables, but I ended up being basic and just going with their veggie special. The crust was on the thin side, but did bubble nicely and had a bit of sourdough flavor. The vegetables were diverse and numerous. I couldn't decide whether I liked the pizza better with hot pepper and Parmesan or without. I also ordered a butter lettuce salad, which was impressively presented but heavier than I thought it would be with the cheese, walnuts, and dressing. I was a bit miffed that my salad and pizza came out at the same time, but not miffed enough to lower the star rating. It wouldn't be the best pizza in an urban area, but it was a worthy stop along a day of mountainous adventure. read more

RPK's pizzas were really delectable, even though the wait was very long. We ordered from the small bar inside the corner store though, if that had an impact. We didn't see any other seating besides the limited bar seating, and a few tables by the window, and far out of sight of the pizza kitchen (opposite end of the corner store). So I'm not sure if this is an ideal place for families or a casual night out. read more

After a day of hiking The Shenandoah, this is an excellent stop. Just know that others have already discovered this gem but it's worth the 10 min wait. Gourmet hand-tossed, fire-roasted pizza and the salads are amazing so you feel like you finished your active day with healthy food. Young, vibrant staff is polite, professional and invisibly visible to refill that much-needed hydration. read more

Very good pizza, especially after a hike! Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Will definitely be back. read more
Stopped in for some food after visiting the nearby "Hopkins Ordinary Ale Works" - needed some food after the ales! I ordered a pizza in - one of their existing pizzas on the menu - but with extra pepperoni and sausage. They make the pizzas to order - so it probably takes 15-20 minutes for the pizza to come up. It's a thin crust pizza, very tasty! The one thing I will ding them on - is even though I ordered extra pepperoni and sausage - the meat seemed very sparse on the pizza. Next time I will ask. But it tasted good. I got the rest to go. #RappahannockPizzaKitchen read more

Grabbed lunch here while visiting the area. Ceasar salad was generous and the shrimp skewer a nice add. We tried the hog in the hive which was tasty but be warned the peppers on it have a kick. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth a visit. read more

GREAT artisanal pizza in rural Virginia. Their crust is delicious, and their pizza comes in 12-inch pies (the cheese pizza also comes in 8-inch). We got the Omni pizza, which turned out to be a white pizza, and although we were expecting red sauce to come with it, the pizza was still delicious and went well with the roasted seasonal vegetable (asparagus). I got the pepperoni pizza, which, unlike most other places, buries their pepperoni under the cheese, presumably to keep the pepperoni from burning. I appreciated that this place doesn't skimp on the cheese! And I liked that they were open on Easter. Ordering wasn't very easy, and the staff was friendly both on the phone and in-person. I would definitely come back! read more
