2nd Best Pizza Place:
Cucci's Pizzeria
📍 Address: 566 E Madison St, Covington, VA 24426
📞 Phone: 540-962-3964
Website: Menu
This was my all-time favorite restaurant when I was growing up in Alleghany County. My family went there every Friday evening for supper and it was always the highlight of my week. Even after living out of the area for 8 years, it never stopped being my favorite Italian restaurant! I love them for their turnovers and sandwiches, but the pizza is great too. Their homemade pizza sauce is so good they sell it by the quart! Cucci's is also a local favorite because of how much they do for the community and for supporting other local businesses!

Frank's Pizza in Botetourt

This is another place that I have not tried yet but am excited to visit! I've heard a lot of great things about this place like that their White Pizza is superb! They have a yummy-sounding Vegetarian Pizza as well. Don't pass on an opportunity to try Franks next time you are in Botetourt and tell them that Macaroni KID sent you!
