Best Pizza in Martinsburg, WV: What Locals Look For

Ask five people in Martinsburg where to get good pizza and you will get five different answers, usually delivered with strong opinions. That is part of the fun of living somewhere with real local favorites. If you are trying to figure out where your next pie should come from, here is what locals around here actually weigh when they choose.

What "good pizza" means around here

The people who eat here are not fussy. They just know the difference. The things that come up again and again:

• Freshness you can taste. A pie that was baked when you ordered it beats one that has been holding under a warmer.
• A crust that holds up. Not soggy on the way home, not so stiff you give up on it.
• Portions that match the price. A pizza should feed the people you bought it for.
• The same food every time. A neighborhood spot is only as good as its worst night.
• Somewhere easy. Parking, carryout, and a short wait matter more than a fancy dining room.

Notice that most of that list has nothing to do with trends. It is about consistency and care.

Freshly baked beats sitting under a lamp

At Remis Pizzeria and Lounge, our pizzas are handmade and freshly baked. That means your pizza goes into the oven after you order it, not hours before. It takes a few more minutes than grabbing something off a shelf, and it is worth it. You get a hot pie with a proper crust instead of something that has been waiting for a customer.

That approach is also why we can keep pizza, shawarma and the rest of our carryout favorites on the same menu without cutting corners on any of them. Everything is made to order.

Ordering for a Martinsburg crowd

Some nights call for more than one pie. Youth sports nights, game days, a full house of relatives, or a work crew that has been on its feet since morning. This is where a neighborhood pizza spot earns its keep.

A few things that help when you are feeding a group:

• Order for the number of people you actually have, then add a little. Pizza disappears faster than anyone predicts.
• Mix the order. A couple of pizzas plus shawarma or other favorites gives picky eaters a way out.
• Order carryout ahead of time so the food arrives when your people do.
• Grab extra napkins. You will not regret it.

Generous portions are part of the deal here. Nobody should leave your table still looking around for more.

Make it a combo

One of the best things about our menu is that you do not have to choose between pizza night and something different. Order a fresh baked pizza and a shawarma, and everyone at the table gets what they wanted without a second stop.

Families do this constantly, and it works just as well for friends splitting dinner in the lounge.

Carryout or stay a while

You have two good options with us:

• Carryout: call in your order, pick it up, and eat at your own table. Great for weeknights when there is homework, laundry, and a game on.
• The lounge: sit down, let the kitchen handle it, and take your time. Better for catching up with people you actually want to talk to.

Either way, the pizza is baked for you when you order.

Come find your new usual

We are a Martinsburg pizzeria, lounge and carryout spot continuing the Bob's Carry Out legacy, and we would love to be the answer the next time someone asks you where to get good pizza in town.
