This has been on our bucket list since we started climbing! We finally made the trip down to RRG and HAD to stop at "climber central" big parking lot, and right in the middle of it is a big tree draped in hundreds of shoes! Such a cool concept, kinda gives off an eerie feeling. We threw a pair of our old shoes to add to the collection. We entered Miguel's pizza and there are a bunch of the infamous shirts and hoodies, and the cashier informed us that there were even more out in the gear shop! We grabbed a large pizza which and two of their bottled sodas. Pizza was made to order, of course. Pretty reasonable price ($27 for everything) and it was yummy! Seating indoors and outdoors under the pavilion and even more if you walk down the patio. Camp site and lodging area is nearby and the gear shop is the white building before the big blue one. And we got greeted by the cutest little cat! read more

Pretty good spot to grab a slice. Good pies, good beer, not much to complain about. It's RRG, so be prepared to sit next to a chick with dreads who doesn't wear deodorant, but it's all about the experience. Definitely add Miguel's to your list of eats while you're visiting the gorge. read more

You can't go to the Gorge and not go to Miguel's. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. And not just because the food options in the area are very limited. This is something we genuinely look forward to doing every time we're here. We came with a group of friends and got all sorts of different pizzas. They're not going to change your life, but they're definitely going to hit a spot hard. The environment and space are super expansive, indoor and outdoor, and chill. It's like having a big picnic with a bunch of strangers. There are people camping pretty close by, and it's a cool place for everyone to come hang out. A must when you're in the area! Will definitely be back. read more

We went because it's a local institution. There is so much seating that's it's deceptive how long the wait will be. We ordered two whole pizzas which took a very long time to arrive in a Saturday for lunch. Food was good, beer was cold. I don't know that we would choose it again over some other options in the area but am glad we tried it and can say we've been there. read more

Miguel's is definitely a place to check out while in Slade! It's located right next to a campground and has such a cool outdoor patio. The pizza was crispy on the bottom, and it was fun to choose our own toppings. The slices were huge and worth the wait. We sat next to two groups of people and everyone was so friendly. read more

Miquels Pizza hit the spot after a day of hiking in the Gorge. I wasn't expecting much but how I was impressed with their pizza. Many crust options including a cauliflower crust with was absolutely delicious. No frills here drinks are served in cans and the pizza is served on cardboard. Everything is disposable. Miquels has open searing and plenty of it for larger groups. We came with a group of nine and were able to sit together. This is a must visit when near Red River Gorge. One of few gems around. read more

The feeling of a sky lift ride, 2-3 hour hike down, shower, then a trip to Miguel's... it's truly an unmatched feeling. So yummy. So expensive. Whatever, we were on a lil vacation. I'm sure there's cheaper ways to go about it. Still yummy. If I could request anything it's maybe that it could be slightly more done, but that's being nit-picky. And of course I liked my husband's better than mine because he put pepperoni on his and I did not. Why do I do this to myself? read more

Location awesome; rustic building that houses some awfully great pizzas, grinders and beers. Staff is fantastic and know their business. Even have non dairy cheeses for lactose intolerance individuals. Home to a lot of climbers from all areas of the world. In the gorge area; A MUCH PLACE TO STOP! read more

Our first and only time going we were met with a large area just crammed with people and extremely long lines. We finally got to the counter, the person taking our order was very impatient and rude! There was too much noise to hear the answers to our questions. We had a few questions as we had not been here before. The food was overpriced! Extremely loud here! Convenient, huge place to eat with great space in a great area, but run like a loud, rowdy, fast food joint. The pizza was hot, but the sauce and dough were very sweet and was skimpy on the toppings. Sodas were served in cans and bottles with obviously no refills. No service beyond the order counter and initial delivery of order to the table. More like over-priced fast food pizza than a restaurant. I don't know. Maybe, it was just an off day. It could have definitely been better. Restrooms were in good order. read more

We stayed nearby at a campground but when looking for local places to check out, we knew we had to stop at Miguel's Pizza. We love a good pizza place but Miguel's had such a cool environment. There is seating upstairs, in the basement, and outside. We called ahead and ordered since we had 14 people. They were very accommodating and had 6 pizzas ready when we got there. (No pictures since we were staving). We tried the Meat Lovers, Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken, the Italian, and the Mexican pizza. We also ordered a no sauce cheese pizza as well. They had games and puzzles inside and a basketball court outside. We had 9 kids with us so it was a nice environment for them to relax and play while us adults enjoyed time to relax as well after pizza. read more

The cheese did not stay on when it was pulled and the dough seemed uncooked. I don't know what happened but it was not good. Service was fine. You order first then find your own table. The seating seems like it can be any where indoors or outdoor read more

So, this place is a cult classic. It's definitely a must visit especially if you're hiking or whatever. It's a historic spot. I've always wanted to go, but if you've ever been by, it's typically so crowded you can't walk in, let alone get a seat. It's a self serve type thing, walk up, order off the menu, go sit down with a number and they bring it to your table. They have beer and ice cream as well. Paper plates and plastic utensils are used and you can choose from soda in a can for drinks outside of beer. The ingredients were fresh and delicious - in the salad and in the pizza. That part I'd 100% give 5 stars. The crust was underdone in the middle and overdone on the outer part. It took about 30 minutes to get the salad then about another 10 to get the pizza. There's open seating, lunch table style, and it's so loud you can barely hold a conversation if you have a rude group of ladies sitting across the room that have the "only person in the world card" in their wallet. Everyone else talks louder and it's insanely loud. Next time, if we choose to eat there, we will be doing carry out. Price point wasn't bad. $50 for a large pizza with like 10 different toppings, 2 canned drinks, and 2 salads of a good size. I came back to edit my review. We came back two days later in morning to try the breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and so was the coffee and the service was much better. Atmosphere was better! The lady that took our order was very friendly and helpful! I added an extra star for that. read more

I have been eating awesome food here for 30 years. It is the best atmosphere and food around. My favorite is anything with the mango salsa. I also love the hot sauce on anything. But pizza is good also consider trying the Salmon sandwich. This review is on breakfast it is always good I get the omelette the toppings are 1.00 for additional toppings. Go for the atmosphere but enjoy the food you won't be disappointed read more

Great food! We went and ordered a half BBQ pizza and half Supreme and food came out pretty quick. The pizza was tasty and the toppings were fresh and not the canned stuff. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also so many seating areas you can sit outside and they bring the food! read more

We got the Hawaiian pizza and our daughter got 4 pieces of veggie and we all loved it. Prices are good too.

Let's start by saying that we waited way too long for our pizza. You can take our review with a grain of salt because we are super picky about our pizza and the way they are prepared. We like a New Haven Style pizza. The toppings of the pizza were fine, including the real bacon. But 24 dollars for three drinks and a large pizza is kinda a bargain so I would recommend this place. Literally. The vibe of the place was okay. Sorta a mom and pops southern bbq vibe. read more

Phenomenal pizza and fun atmosphere. Miguel's definitely lived up to the hype. Staff was incredibly friendly and the pizza was ready quite quickly! read more

We were in the mood for pizza after a day of hiking, and based on comments by others Miguel's was the place to go. They offered a vast selection of toppings, and I was very excited to build my own pizza with all of my favorite veggies. Unfortunately, there weren't enough toppings on the pizza when it came. Each topping I had selected was on the pizza incredibly sparingly. The cheese was centered mainly towards the middle of the pizza, leaving a fairly wide ring of only sauce around the edges. On the positive side, it's a cute little place and we had a very enjoyable time sitting outside and having our meal. We would visit again, although with lower expectations next time. read more

This is a must go place after you hike the natural Bridge. Even if you don't hike anywhere nearby, and you are in the area, definitely try this place. Also expect a very long wait during weekends because it's super busy. They have a variety of build your own pizza options. I got the eight slice option and that was more than enough for two people. We still get to save half of the pizza for leftovers. The cell service there is not so good, but they have Wi-Fi. I would recommend using the online option to order and pick it up, to avoid the long lines and the waiting period. Overall, this place is such a delight! read more

Absolutely gorgeous, outdoor seating. Fast, courteous & knowledgeable service. Family friendly place. Pizza was great!! I mean, pizza is pizza, but this was really good. LOTS of toppings to choose from, sauce was very good & everything was well proportioned. No complaints here at all!! Definitely recommend read more

Best food around this area I'll be back in the morning. Tried toads bar n grill, couldn't do it.

Crust is tough. It use to be good. Since opening the new building, they prebake the crust, so who knows how long it's laying there. Then when you order, they put toppings on and run through the oven again. Rude people working. read more

Miguel's is a staple to the red River gorge, for travelers and locals. The best thing it has going for it is it's convenience. The campground is easy to navigate, in a great location and has $2 (5 minute) showers, laundry and a climber/camper pavilion onsite. There is also a gear shop onsite with a great variety of retail and merch. Food is subpar. Breakfast burrito was great but price was steep at $1 per topping. They did have a great selection of cold beer! Staff was mostly friendly but cliquey as most of them live onsite or are locals who frequent the campground after their shift. We did meet a few other travelers who were very friendly and enjoyed catching up with them after the day in the crag. We'll likely check out another campground on our next trip back. read more

Pretty good pizza! A lot of different drink options, including 3-4 different rootbeer types which is pretty unique. They sell different tie dye shirts for those who love it enough to purchase. The pizza itself was good, however the crust and bacon was too crispy for my liking. I wish I would've branched out and tried different toppings or sauces, as they had a huge amount of options to choose from. Pretty busy place but overall a good stop if you're wanting the za. read more

We had Miguel's Pizza on our drive in to Red River Gorge and really didn't know what to expect! It's an unassuming location but each time we have been in the area, it seems PACKED. we were able to place and order via phone ahead of time and made a very customizable pizza. Name a pizza topping, even off the wall ones, and they likely have it! The pizza was priced extremely well for the size too which is a nice change - we've been feeling like our pizza bills have gone up in general though our order has stayed the same. We won't miss this place the next time we are in town for sure! read more

Amazing food in what seems like the middle of the forest!! Build your own pizza or specialty pizza. I had ground beef tomatoes mushroom sweet potatoes and avocado! Delicious! The salad was so fresh! So yummy after a day of hiking and kayaking. They were so busy but yet so efficient and fast. Employees were so nice! So many places to sit inside or outside in covered pavilion. They had basketballs courts doe the kids. They made fresh citrus margaritas and even had Woodford Reserve and bottles of wine. Our guides from the gorge underground recommended this place We we're staying at the natural bridge state park and it was so close which was convenient. Another great find!! read more

Very interesting place. Lots of hikers, pretty area. We just had pepperoni mushroom pizza. It was ok. Had them put it on cheddar cheese so it was crusted on bottom. Dont think we'll do that again. Canned drinks. Good it you have kids. Lots of space inside and out to move around. read more

We pulled into the parking lot around 2:30pm on a Saturday. We were able to find parking and a picnic bench outside. The line to order food was out of the front door. I decided to place our order online. Within 30 minutes our pizza was ready. The waitress came outside & hollered my name. I waved my hand & she walked our pizza over to us. If you have never had Miguel's Pizza, let me just tell you - it is always packed with flavor. Our pepperoni & pineapple pizza was delicious. It was the perfect meal after a long hike! read more

If you're visiting Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge, you don't leave until you've come here too!! I first heard of Miguel's from a Kentucky 'bucket list' book that I had, stating that it was a must that I come here at some point. While planning a day trip to Natural Bridge, it seemed like just about everyone and their brother stopped in here before or after their hiking. This place has an interesting vibe. Obviously it is right by the wilderness, so it caters to many explorers and hikers.... There's even a campground right behind the restaurant! The pizza was phenomenal. You can build your own, and we devoured every bit of ours we enjoyed it so much! You can customize it by toppings, cheeses, sauces, and crusts. I see why Miguel's is so hyped up now! Do yourself a favor and visit this place the next time you're nearby. read more

Our 2nd time here, consistent quality , Almost Too many pizza combination choices. Yes! We will visit again

I mean, honestly! How is it possible that the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life is in the middle of nowhere? Miguel's Pizza is something from another planet. It is by far the best pizza I have had in my entire 35 years. It is all build your own pizza style. So you start with the crust they have thin crust, gluten-free crust, cauliflower crust, vegan crust. I also think they might have standard crust as well. Then they have a variety of toppings, sauces , cheeses. The toppings range from vegetables to meats to anything in between you could think of putting on a pizza. They have seven different sauces to choose from. I think I counted about seven different cheeses to choose from. 13 different meats to choose from. And 28 different additional toppings to choose from, including things like broccoli, hummus, rice, pineapple, sweet potatoes, pasta, mango salsa. You literally can come up with any pizza you desire. You can also choose to make a whole pizza, a half a pizza, or a quarter pizza. They even have a build your own salad, pasta bowls, and a couple of different sandwich options where again you build your own sandwich. I chose a full size thin crust pizza. This ran me. I think about $22 but it lasted me a couple of days so to me it was worth it. I had thin crust, barbecue sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, chicken, brisket, onion, bacon. I mean my goodness- piping hot, delicious, flavorful pizza with quality toppings! What more can you ask for in a pizza? I was so satisfied. They also have slushy margaritas. I believe they are nine dollars each which I felt was a little steep at first because it did come out of a drink dispenser. But honestly, it was so good! Definitely worth nine dollars. They have indoor or outdoor seating. They also have camping and a camp store. McGells is a pretty cool freaking place. read more

Miguel's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Slade, Kentucky

Travel threads and conversations related to Red River Gorge reference Miguel's frequently and the takes seem to be divided into two--either it's some of the best pizza you've ever had and a must-stopi when in the area or it's "over-rated" and receptive of it's reputation solely due to famished hikers quickly devouring the food and overestimating it. I'd say the truth is somewhere in the middle and my ranking is closer to a 3.5, but I'm ranking down instead of up due to my wife's overall slightly lower ranking than my own. We arrived in town early on a Sunday and spent most of the day hiking. Then we checked in at the nearby RRG State Resort and changed, headed down to Miguel's for our first meal in town. We ordered a full pie with pepperoni and bacon. We were in the mood for a starter of some sorts (breadsticks, etc.) but didn't see anything like that on the menu. I was also in the mood for a beer or two to pair with my pizza, this being our spring break vacation and all and I'd noticed they served local craft brews. However, this visit happening to occur on Easter Sunday*, there was a sign propped up in front of the selections stating "no sales--Easter Sunday" which led people in line (not in my party) to mutter and make alternative plans (most opted to walk to a liquor store nearby and purchase a six pack to drink with their food here, concealing it in "extra cups"). I settled for a local soda, the beloved "Ale8". Our pizza was...good. As I said, I liked it a bit more than my wife. I thought the bacon was good--smoky and crispy, you could tell it was fresh(ly) cooked. Pepperoni good. Crust good, cheese okay, sauce fine. It was a bit on the greasy side, like a whole soup of grease on top of the cheese but it didn't feel particularly heavy/greasy. There could have been a touch more of both meat selections. We ordered our cheese mozzarella, with the "over and under" option they list (supposedly a bit of cheese bake onto the bottom of the crust) but only noticed one small piece of baked cheese on the bottom of one piece of pizza. We ate most of the pizza, took some back to our room to stow in the fridge where we had it cold the next day. My wife thought it was a bit better then. Service was friendly, prices fair. Plenty of parking. Everything inside could have used a scrub, tables were crumb-covered and floors were dirty but hey, they cater to hikers so no biggie. Hours are great, open 7am-10pm most days including weekends, holidays, and maybe off-season (hard to know what is considered off season in the area, hours for most places when we were here in early April 2024 were all over the place and didn't match online/Yelp/Facebook/Google). Instead of a trash can for your paper plates and pizza boxes, etc., they have a "recycle" bin. This is excellent in theory, but it looks like all the cans and such are tossed in by everyone alongside the grease stained pizza boards and plates which means that likely all gets tossed in a landfill since food-stained items can't be recycled. In short--I'd definitely go back if back in the area and recommend other travelers give them a try. There aren't a ton of food options after a long day's hike here, and this place serves up solid, hometown pizza at a fair price. *On that Easter/beer thing...okay, so it isn't a law that prohibited the sale of beer as the county Miguel's is located in allows the sale of beer on Sundays and the liquor store was in full force down the road. Miguel's apparently sells beer on all Sundays except Easter? Maybe Christmas? I mean, it's a privately owned business and they can absolutely do anything they want but it seems an odd decision to make and one that hurt their sales that day a decent amount judging by the comments from others in line when I was here. If you feel it's wrong to sell beer on Sundays, totally your choice but picking out one Sunday as if every potential customer shares your particularly theological sentiment is odd, given that (for example) those who abstain from alcohol for Lent (as is common) are free to imbibe again on Easter Sunday as celebration and commencement of Lent, so...just odd. read more

I honestly don't know what the hype is all about. All I can figure is because it is the only pizza place around. But the pizza for my family was nothing special. The crust tastes like every other crust. I wouldn't care if I ever ate here again. read more
