    I wanted to support the small businesses during my trip and stopped here one evening for dinner. Great outdoor seating. The IPA on tap was good. Food wasn't bad either. Limited parking & friendly staff.

    Salad and 2 slices of pepperoni $8.95

    Mind blown it on the price and size of food. The ladies were so kind and welcoming. The flavors were perfect. Over all abundance was relaxing and calming. Nice to get away from the city.

My g/f recommended Vinny's as being very good. Originally, we were going to go here for an early dinner on Thursday, July 4, but when we were driving from Franklin County, I exclaimed Prime Rib Thursday at Copper Kettle! So, I had her U-turn, and we tried that instead. Please see my 5-star of them from August 2024. We ended up going on Saturday, July 6. We arrived in this cramped front area, and someone sat us at a booth at a reasonable time. We sat in the booth over 10 minutes without anyone coming to even get us water or check on here. We were hungry, and I was already annoyed for this long wait and was looking on Yelp. I asked my g/f about trying Bella Vita, which she agreed and left about 15 minutes after being seated. It was a big disappointment. However, after my 5-star Yelp review of Bella Vita (which I got to reviewing in April 2025), my g/f said Bella Vita is a better Italian than Vinny's, so maybe for the best. Since I didn't actually eat at Vinny's in the end, wasn't actively denied water, or had some other terrible experience, it would be unfair to give than 1-star in this case.

After having been selected as number 4 of the Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at the Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Papa's Pizza in Salem, Virginia is the perfect example. This family-owned and operated Italian Restaurant, located in Ridgewood Farms Shopping Center is one of those rare gems of the City of Salem, Virginia. For some time now, on my way from Roanoke to Salem, Virginia on Electric Road, I would ride by this "Pizzeria Italiana" in my Lexus wondering how its cuisine would be. Then today, while I was driving, took the turn that lead me to the Pizza shop. As I arrived, a beautiful blue sky with white clouds framed the building where the restaurant was located, almost like warning me that I was up to something good. Inside, the place was clean in a relaxed environment, with the dining room in the shape of Virginia and containing both tables and booths, behind a low was that led you through the ordering line. They had a couple of tvs with videos showing some of the items on the menu. And the main decoration items were framed American and Italian flags next to two pizza paddles with Best of Virginia Winner and Readers Choice Award. Behind the ordering counter, a friendly young gentleman greeted and welcomed me and provided me with a menu. I ordered a House Salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a 10" Personal Supreme Pizza. And l had a softdrink to drink. I went and sat at a table and the order taker / server first brought me the salad and then the pizza to my table. The salad was so fresh and delicious. You have to see it to believe it. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality of their food. And the pizza, the pizza was amazing! From the perfect crust cooked to perfection, to the fresh ingredients placed in generous amounts, to the splendid tasting pizza sauce and cheese. I then went to their dessert refrigerated display case and ordered a slice of their Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake. The perfect dessert for the Grand Finale of an extraordinary dining experience.

This restaurant serves the Blue Ridge, Bedford, and Roanoke communities, as well as the Route 460 trafic customers passing through. The owner and chef Sherif opened this restaurant on April 4th, 2019. When I walked into the Restaurant, I found the place to be very similar to the Italian restaurants I dined in with my parents when I visited Rome as a young man. The decor was very eclectic and with a very warm and cozy ambiance. It had two large screen TVs. One in the dining area and the other at the bar sitting area. There was no one around for a few minutes. But all of a sudden, the restaurant's owner/chef Sherif, came walking out of the kitchen and gave me a friendly greeting and a warm welcome. It was very genuine and he made it a point to know, memorize, and always address me by my name. I ordered a Dr Pepper to drink and after having some time to look over the menu I ordered a Works Supreme Pizza and asked if he could make it a 12" small size. This pizza contained Pepperoni, Sausage, Beef, Mushrooms, Onions, Green Peppers, and Roasted Red Peppers. The owner was truly wonderful - very polite, welcoming, and attentive. I very much appreciated the great customer service and the positive atmosphere he created. While the service was excellent, the food did not quite meet my expectations. I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor and overall preparation. The thin crust pizza was over cooked, making the outer crust hard and burning some of the meat ingredients, thus retracting from their flavor. However, I did enjoy the magnificent flavor of the roasted red peppers in the pizza. And the Tiramisu that I had for dessert, made in-house, with fresh strawberries on top was amazingly delicious. I hope this feedback is helpful, as the owner's hospitality was outstanding and I would love to see the food quality match his level of service. I'm sharing this respectfully, as the owner's hospitality was excellent and deserves to be recognized. Also, the owner's friendliness and attentiveness enhanced my dining experience significantly.
