Hog in the Hive
Jessica F.

Adorable little pizza shop connected to a market, just a few tables but the vibes are vibin'. We came here after hiking Old Rag and were ready to eat. Based off of other Yelp! reviews, I got the Hog in the Hive. My friend got one of the pasta dishes. I took off one star because the server forgot to take our order for awhile and, as other reviews mentioned, the kitchen can be slow. The food, however, was worth the wait - absolutely delicious! Wish we were from the area as I'd love to come back and try the other pizza options on the menu - the Omni sounded fantastic as well.

Pizza with "light cheese"...there is no discernable cheese at all.

I wanted to love this pizza. I was passing through town and decided to stop to get a pie to-go. I ordered a small veggie with light cheese. What I got...was barely any cheese. I should have checked before I walked out the door and hit the road. I needed to eat it, and tbh I don't remember tasting any cheese on the pieces I ate. For $15 and a 20 minute wait...I expected more and I am extremely disappointed.

Love this spot, always stop by here when we leave Shenandoah. Great pizza and cute little shop attached. We got the supreme pizza this time and it's a 5/5! Definitely wish they had some ranch, but other than that everything was perfect. Definitely stop by here if you're passing through or visiting!

Burrata

Super cute and cozy little restaurant!! Located just a ~30-minute drive away from the main entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Rappahannock Pizza Kitchen is a great pitstop right before (or after) a good hike. The wooden rafters and log-cabin-esque walls give the entire place a rustic, cozy vibe, and they share the space with a little convenience store that's perfect for any last-minute necessities or picnic supplies. The wood-fired pizza is lovely, with a not-too-thick-not-too-thin and slightly charred crust, a generous helping of sauce, and a solid layer of cheese / whatever toppings you request. They do have a few sauceless pizzas, so read the menu carefully before you order! The staff is super friendly and will probably warn you, but still worth taking a look. I typically order their classic margherita, which is delightful -- the pop of freshness from the basil really elevates the overall pizza. You can occasionally get unlucky and get an overcooked pizza, which happened during my second visit here; the crust was a bit too dry and overly charred, but the pizza was still tasty. My pizza during my last visit was totally fine, as were all the pizzas I saw around us during this lunch-time stop, so I assume it was a one-off fluke. Their starters are also all quite tasty! I've tried their burrata and brussels sprouts, both of which are delightful. The burrata comes with a huge serving of hot, melty burrata and delicious tomato mixture. It's paired with their bread, which is soft and pillowy on the inside, with a lovely charred exterior that holds up well to the cheese. It does feel a little bit silly to get bread and cheese right before eating more pizza (aka bread and cheese), but it's very good and absolutely worth a try. The sprouts are also tasty -- I love a good warm salad, and it has a great sweet and savory flavour profile from the balsamic glaze and grated parmesan. The toasted almonds are also a wonderful added crunch! I did find some of the brussels sprouts a little bit too big, which meant a few were a tiny bit undercooked in the center and hard to eat (although I also have a small mouth, so it could be a me problem), but the overall dish was still great!

Veggie pizza

RPK is fairly close to Mary's Rock (driving) and provides outdoor seating, which is a great option for those hikers with dogs. We opted to get the Veggie Pizza, which was just okay to me and the Chicken Parm, which was a great selection. Our pizza selections took a little longer than we anticipated for them to come out, however, it wasn't an excessively long wait. Overall, RPK was good reward after a beautiful hike at Mary's Rock.

Hog in the Hive
Mark S.

I really wasn't sure what to expect when I drove into Sperryville. It looked like a town of 50 people so I wasn't expecting to have much in the choice of good food, but I was very pleasantly surprised! No, there aren't a LOT of choices, but the ones they have are all worth it. Top of the list was Rappahannock Pizza. It was PACKED, and lots of orders being placed to-go (not surprised, given the lack of food options in town) but they were still fast. There's an outdoor upstairs area that a lot of people sat, and the food is great! The Cheese Bread was absolutely the best that I've ever had, and the Hog in the Hive was excellent- lots of kick from the peppers, but cooled off nicely with the honey. If you're in Sperryville, I'm guessing you have no choice but to try this place, but fear not because it could be dropped in any big city and still be extremely popular!

So much for having extra pizza to bring home!!  We ate it all.
Sharon K.

So we ordered ragu soup and a large pizza, thinking we would have extra pizza to bring home. Well, that didn't happen. The pizza was so good we ate everything. It was absolutely fantastic and the service was top notch. She was very attentive and we were very happy.

Draft menu

What a cute place! The wood rafters with the lights were a talking point for us because we love that look! The staff were friendly and helpful! There is a country store attached that is really cute to look around in. We stopped in and found the pictured ice cream sandwiches, and boy were they good! The bread and oil was a fantastic way to start off the meal, as that is one of our favorite things! We added some crushed red pepper to the oil to give it a little extra kick, but it didn't need it. The pizzas were great! They only come in 8" or 12" sizes so you'll probably need to order two! The crust is not too thick and has the wonderful brick oven taste. The chicken Alfredo pizza (12") is the specialty pizza for the month of May. Now read carefully because it does have pesto on it, and personally I found the pesto to be quite overpowering, but still yummy nonetheless! The margarita pizza (12") was absolutely amazing. The ingredients all tasted so fresh! The sauce was a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy, and the fresh basil just really took the flavor a step further! We also got a cheese pizza (8") for our 7 year old who raved that it was the best one she has ever had. Now the price is a little high for 12" of pizza, but so worth it. Give it a try and get the ice cream sandwiches from the country store, you won't regret it!

Their greeter who meets customers just inside the door.

Great menu, superb pizza, well-trained and personable servers. Ideal venue for a celebration after hiking in the adjacent Shenandoah National Park. Their "Supreme" pizza truly lives up to its name. One might only wish they were open more than two and a fraction days a week.

Finally made it out to check out the pizza and it was as good as I was hoping. We drove out on a rainy Saturday for lunch. Though it was busy, we were able to get a seat right away. Service was quick and the waitress was really great. I kept it pretty basic with the cheese pizza, but added the sausage. My wife got the Hog in the Hive, but skipped the hot peppers. What's nice is we were able to get the special pizza as the 8" even though it wasn't listed for that size. I also decided later to get the Potter's Grapefruit Hibiscus cider. The pizzas came out quickly. The crust is nice and thin, though you need to give a little fold for structural integrity purposes. I'd have liked if the outer edge of crust puffed up a bit more, but if it's homemade dough, you sometimes can get inconsistent rise or even if the temp is a little off in the oven (being really particular here .) Didn't take away from the great flavor of everything. We already want to head back to try out their other pizza.

Great little pizza shop. Honestly the best cheesy bread I have ever had. It is delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning. The Hog in the hive pizza was good it had some sweet honey and spicy peppers.

House salad
Patty H.

The BEST. Nothing better than finishing a long hike in the Shenandoahs and knowing that a Rappahannock Pizza is your reward. We've had most of the specialty pizzas. Favorites are the Hog in the Hive, the Carnivore, and the Greens pizzas. They are incredible with the freshest toppings and thin and smoky crusts. Today we had the burrata salad, with roasted tomatoes, plenty of olive oil, the perfect amount of salt, broiled burrata, and the best homemade focaccia to scoop it all up. Also had the house salad and split the white pizza (no tomato sauce) with pork, asparagus, onion and cheese. Many of the ingredients are local and seasonal. Incredible beers by the glass. I just wish I lived closer, that's how much I love this place. Easy parking, friendly service and a cute gourmet/general store attached.

Chicken parm pizza
Surge C.

RPK is a convenient stop after a long hike in Shenandoah. However, it gets quite busy and indoor seating has a long wait. Fortunately, they have quite a few outdoor seating options, but even on a colder day- they have the fans on and no heated lamps. My husband and I were starving after completing a long hike and ordered the chicken parm pizza, not a margherita pizza, herb and fontina risotto cakes. The herb and fontina risotta cakes were probably my favorite since they came with a nice arugula and pine nut salad. The cakes themselves were just okay, but were definitely better than the pizzas. Both pizzas were very dough heavy and light on the actual toppings. We felt like we ate more dough than anything else. It also tasted like they just sprinkled herbs on top instead of baking the pie with it. Even though I am not big on dough-heavy pizza, their dough was quite good. I should have opted for just the cheese bread. Would I come back? Probably not. Even the basque cheesecake we had was underwhelming.

This place was very close and we tried it out of lack of options. I read in other reviews the pizza was good and skeptical given the rural nature of the town but I was pleasantly surprised. It was good pizza. Not just passable but actually decent. I would recommend highly. The service was good. The place comes across as a family restaraunt and the servers had that firmed my neighborly vibe not the buttoned up chain restaurant vibe even though they could tell we were not from the town. They had tvs on the walls so I was valle to see Panama come back and best Croatia! It recommend this place to others. 5 stars based on location.

Hamburger was tasty - grilled hamburger roll. Ice cream for dessert- stingy on the serving and sprinkles. Not a selection of beers. Out of my first choice, ordered another and when I wanted 2nd they said that was the last one . Crazy for a Friday night at 7 pm Prices are high for what you get. I'm not from the area so I can only compare to New Jersey. There are a couple outside tables, area with music and was a bit louder than the inside. All resturants close early so it was a last resort. The people were nice .

I am trying pizza places. I had heard about this place and decided to try it out with friends…read more We had the Detroit, Chicago thing and NY style The Detroit and NY were my favorite. The Chicago thing was almost too thin but still good flavor We had the pepperoni with the deteoit Detroit.Margherita with the Chicago thing And changed pepperoni with sausage and jalapeño pizza They have sodas but not your regular soda. I did not try them nd opted for water. They have a beer but only one kind. I believe a pilsner. Not a lit of seating but on a quiet day no problem finding seating. Will be back

This is an unusual location; it's really where DC's extended suburbs start to turn into country…read more The surroundings are green, and there is just this little strip mall that has some breweries and a couple of nondescript doors that don't look like they'd lead to food. One of them, at least, does, in the form of this pizzeria. I ordered online and it was ready about when they said it would be. Notably, they close early on Sundays so I just got in there. They have indoor seating, but I ate a bit at one of the numerous tables for other businesses in this stretch and took the rest to go. Their interpretation of a margherita didn't wow me. As the picture will show, it seemed to be like 30% crust. And the NY style pizza is actually an upcharge from the other varieties. Don't get me wrong, the toppings and crust were overall of high quality, but it wasn't a filling pizza for the price at all, and I didn't have anything to do with all that extra crust except try to fold it over. Wished I'd brought some hummus or something. The pizza I really came for, however, was a Detroit style pizza, of which I ordered as a veggie special. The vegetables were ample but didn't overwhelm, and the crust for this pizza was more substantial. The browned edge of cheese that one comes to this style for was present in spades. It's hard to believe it actually costs less than the NY style, because it was much better. Their other options included some drinks, though I suspect many will patronize the next door brewery for beverages and some bread appetizers and only one salad; nothing that really enchanted me. So, a real mixed evaluation from my perspective. The right pizza order can be quite good, I'll say that.
