The Morgantown Pizza Tour
Tasting 24 WV Pizzerias, Slice by Slice
No rankings, just reviews. I’m ordering the same pie at each stop: half-cheese, half pepperoni, mushroom, and onion. This combo gives me a taste of each signature sauce, melt, and topping quality. This tour will highlight the best crusts, toppings, sauces, and of course, ranch dressing.
I'm not ranking these pizzas or crowning one the best. Every pizzeria has its own style, and everyone has their favorites. The rest of the pizzerias are listed by date tried. If I have eaten at a location in the past but not ordered the regulation half-cheese / half pepperoni, mushroom, and onion order, I will review as-is for the sake of timing, but will revisit for official notes.
Lefty’s Place
503 Burroughs Street, Ste 102
Morgantown, WV 26505
-
Crust: Tavern is thin & crispy, Detroit is thicc
Marinara: classic red sauce
Toppings: tasty
Ranch: most unique in motown
-
People are obsessed with the ranch-fries combo and without a doubt its amazing. Add voodoo wings to that order and you’re in bar food heaven.
Nonno Carlo
1016 Suncrest Town Center Dr,
Morgantown, WV 26505
-
Crust: brick-fired
Marinara: everything DOP
Toppings: fresh af, house-mozz
Ranch: you don’t get that here
-
It’s something about a simple sauce that the fresh mozzarella and basil melt into, folded between a brick oven-fired, bready crust. Gotta eat it fresh, though.
Homegrown Pizza
3429 Earl L Core Rd,
Morgantown, WV 26508
-
Crust: too uniform? a perfect circle
Marinara: haven’t tried it yet lol
Toppings: unique and generous
Ranch: did not order as a side
-
I remember getting a regular pizza with the rangoon special in 2019 when I first moved here. I never got a non-special pizza from Homegrown since. This is marked to try again!
Screech Owl
2323 Ralph Livengood Rd,
Bruceton Mills, WV 26525
-
Crust: made from spent beer grain!
Marinara: smothered in cheese
Toppings: better be a cheese lover
Ranch: did not order as a side
-
I love the people, I love the place, I love the story, I love their pizza (and the beer).
Picasso Pizza
1370 University Ave
Morgantown, WV 26505
-
Crust: thin, crispy, classically dusted with cornmeal
Marinara: classic red sauce
Toppings: underneath the cheese!
Ranch: between Picasso and 2G Bros, top 2 - will get one with every pie!
-
Good pizza, albeit a little pricey for the college-town location. Toppings are delicious and sauces, dips and breads are all homemade.
Cafe Oliverio
200 Fort Pierpont Dr Ste 112,
Morgantown, WV 26508
-
Crust: extra, extra thin
Marinara: overshadowed by cheese
Toppings: great pepperoni fr
Ranch: no ranch, can get alfredo, though
-
If you want thin crust and brick-fired, this is it. I think a couple more minutes in the oven would do it justice, there are heavy of toppings to hold up!
Pies and PInts
1002 Suncrest Town Centre Dr,
Morgantown, WV 26505
-
Crust: strong and holds toppings well
Marinara: haven’t tried a normal pie
Toppings: quality and tasty
Ranch: you don’t get that here
-
I have heard from multiple sources that you’ll get super uneven toppings when you order at the Morgantown locations. When I anonymously order, I can say the same.
2G Brothers Pizza
23 Cheat Landing
Morgantown, WV 26508
-
Crust: thin crust
Marinara: on the sweeter side, good
Toppings: decent
Ranch: outstanding flavor!
-
Nice consistency for a thin crust, not soggy even after travel. This is a place you order from for a big party that needs a bunch of pizzas in bulk.
Colasante’s
416 Fairmont Rd,
Morgantown, WV 26501
-
Crust: floppy under the toppings
Marinara: classic style
Toppings: piled high
Ranch: House-made, but too watery
-
Cheese side was better. Less is more, here. Both times I went, I felt like the crust needed more time in the oven before they topped it with everything. A larger pie might have better results.
Pizza Al’S
1389 Saratoga Ave
Morgantown, WV 26505
-
Crust: thin crust
Marinara: classic
Toppings: classic
Ranch: nada
-
All hail Pizza Al’s!

Morgantown, WV 26508
-
Crust: you can tell they make in-house
Marinara: overall good slice
Toppings: great pepperoni fr
Ranch: great ranch but for fried chicken

Pizza was overall tasty. I think I need to order larger pies to get a read on home-tossed crusts.
