    Pizza Your Way
    Gary D.

    When you find yourself in Front Royal, VA you can expect to hear over and over that the best pizza in town is at Melting Pot Pizza. When my partner Elisabeth and I ended up here with our nephew we confirmed that is for a very good reason. First, when you walk into the store you might feel like you have gone back in time a bit to simpler days. It's not a time machine, that's just the atmosphere Melting Pot drips, it feels like a place that hasn't changed much since the 90's and that's a good thing. There are beer taps flowing, locals laughing and sports playing in the background. It's a comforting space that makes you feel welcome immediately, and despite the fact that the parking lot was full we were seated immediately by a very cheerful hostess. When we got to our seats we decided to try an appetizer each, and a pizza each as well. Our waitress came over to take our order and did so with no notes or writing utensils at all! That's trained skill, and when that happens you know you're either in danger or in for a real treat. First the appetizers. I got the hot wings, they came out very hot and flavorful. I would say for this Texas boy, they were a little more on the mild side so I would order xtra hot next time but the chicken was juicy and the outside was crisp. We also ordered the fried pepperonis. We didn't know exactly what to expect but this ended up being just that, fried slices of pepperoni - like little salty meat chips that you could dunk in ranch. We found them extremely addictive. Finally we got the bacon and cheese fries, I didn't try these but my nephew said they were good and that the cheesy was an oozy and gooey treat. In short order we recieved our pizzas. This isn't some doughy, thick crust that's going to send you home rolling on your belly. This is flat crust. The crust was simple, you could taste the olive oil; like a crust I could make at home if I had any idea what I was doing. The sauce was just right, tangy and tomatoey and the cheese was stretching on every bite. I got a classic pepperoni, my partner got the chicken Alfredo and my nephew got the All The Way and on each pizza the toppings were fresh and crisp. This is simple pizza, and that's exactly what Melting Pot is going for and has perfected. I'm giving it a 5/5 score because if you want a tasty pizza, and a great place to hang out in town this is your spot.

    Saw the ratings and reviews and checked it out while in town. We had an order of wings and the Meat Lovers pizza. The wings were pretty good. But the pizza was trash. It was very bland and underwhelming. We were a bit shocked considering the amount of meat that was on this thing. No spice from the pepperoni, no saltiness from the bacon or sausage etc. Idk, maybe we got a bad pie? But we didn't attempt to try finishing it. Service was very good though and the atmosphere was friendly and hopping on a week night which was nice to see. But I do not see the allure over the pizza here. Anyone raving over this pizza has a broken tongue. Pass.

    Large sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, and onion pizza.

    Incredible pizza! My SO and I put down an entire large pie with sausage, pepperoni, green pepper, and onion and it was so good! The service is great as well, definitely a hole in the wall but good country folk seem to frequent this place. My SO and I plan to go back before we head back to Richmond today to crush another pie!

    This is how small a slice is from a large pizza, because of the way they cut the entire pie

    I heard lots of positives about this place and judging by how busy they were on a weekday, they are very popular, but I have to say, I wasn't too impressed. They make a very thin style of pizza, which is almost very crunchy, they crust is so thin. Then, they cut it into square slices, so if you tried to pick it up, it's literally a 2" square (or triangle if it's the outside). The toppings were great and they offer a lot of styles of pizza toppings. I wasn't too impressed with the overall flavor, the incredibly crunchy texture, nor the way the sauce tasted, which reminded me of Prego sauce from a bottle. Just my opinion - go try it for yourself.

    Poppy's Place in Front Royal is a TOTAL return to another time. Poppy, after whom the restaurant is…read morenamed, is the grandfather of the people who work (and I suspect at least partially own) the place. You walk in and order at the counter. This is a down home breakfast place where clearly everything is made to order from scratch. When we arrived, there was a woman waiting on a large takeout order. The order was for the wedding party for her daughter who was getting married that day. The bride so loves this place that she wanted her wedding party to share breakfast from her favo spot. So you get the picture. Very simple, very local. We ordered an array of breakfast items that included omelettes, grilled cheese, egg and cheese and pancakes, toast, along with coffee. The service was wonderful, the people who work here are wonderful. The food is good, certainly not great. I am from a bigger city and perhaps my expectations are skewed from that. This is a great place to visit for breakfast just outside of the National Park and it feels nice to support the local business. Just know what to expect.

    So Happy when I learned that Poppy's Place delivered! They have delicious food, but it is…read moresometimes hard to get away from the office. My Egg Salad Sandwich was so good, and it hit the spot! And fast, food was here in less than 30 minutes at lunch-hour...no one can beat that in the area. The delivery person was so polite and had the best smile, not sure if he was an employee or from a delivery service, he made my day. Highly recommend Poppy's Place.
