The Pizza Slice - Wood-Fired Pizza and Gelato — Restaurant in Marlinton

I wasn’t overly surprised by the quality of the pizza. The dough’s structure led me to suspect it wasn’t wood-fired, as it lacked the signature texture, blistering, and char typically achieved in a high-temperature oven. The crust—arguably the most important component of any pizza—was soft and lacked the crispness you’d expect from a premium offering.

When it came to the mushrooms, I was disappointed. The menu advertised "wild mushrooms," which made me expect something unique and flavorful, but what I got were standard button mushrooms, possibly Portobello at best. This felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the dish with more distinctive or exotic ingredients. At the end of the day, the most important ingredient in a pizza is the dough, not the toppings. Portobello mushrooms are perfectly fine to use, but when the dough isn’t up to par, the pizza simply doesn’t deliver. The dough sets the foundation, and without a good base, no amount of toppings can save it.

On the positive side, the pizza was prepared quickly, which was convenient. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, with a welcoming vibe that added to the experience. While parking was a bit of a challenge, stopping briefly across the street to pick up an order seemed like a practical solution.

Unfortunately, the flavor didn’t live up to the price. The pizza reminded me of something you’d get from Domino’s for $7, a Costco Pizza, or even a frozen pizza from the supermarket. For $25, I expected much more—an artisanal crust with perfect texture. Sadly, this pizza didn’t meet those expectations.

Overall, if you’ve never had authentic Italian pizza or dined at a proper Italian restaurant, you might find this satisfactory. However, for anyone who has experienced truly great pizza, this one will likely leave you feeling disappointed and questioning the...

My girlfriend’s family and I stopped here after skiing and it was a mistake. First, we bought a few bottles of beer, only to find out that their only bottle opener must have recently been lost or stolen, so we had to bring them home to our house which is already full of booze.

Also, the menu is incomplete and misleading — it doesn’t mention anywhere that you can buy pizza by the slice for $4 each (only cheese, and while supplies last, by the way), and doesn’t list the price of additional toppings on a build-your-own pizza (the pizza starts at $17 plus $2 each topping, FYI). You can only order personal size pizzas, and the specialty ones they’ve already listed start at a whopping $24 and only go up from there.

Plus, the staff were generally unfriendly and also got our order wrong. We just wanted a build-your-own pizza with pepperoni, but they only gave us half pepperoni. They offered to make a new one, but we declined as the first one took long enough especially considering we couldn’t even enjoy our beers while we waited because of the bottle opener situation. And since it’s such a small place mostly meant for carry-out, they only have a few tables outside, so since it was a snowy day, we were just standing inside the whole time.

Overall, this place is overpriced and a generally poor experience. The pizza was actually pretty good, though, and is the reason for giving two stars rather than one. We certainly wouldn’t go again and have had better experiences at Cheat Mountain...

We rode our mountain bikes to "The Pizza Slice" which is just feet away from the Western Express chairlift and directly on Snowshoe Dr. Granted Snowshoe is expensive no matter where you eat so I'm not rating this place based on price. The pizzas are all 12" pies (small) and start at $17 for plain. We sat at out front on their patio in the sunshine. In 15 minutes our wood fired brick over pizza was ready. They make their own sauce and dough which my boyfriend and thought was tasty. We enjoyed our pepperoni, mushroom and banana pepper...
