Melting Pot Pizza

Everytime we visit Front Royal we always make sure this is one of our stops. Best pizza around. They also have a drink called Cherry Smash that is great. Our server this time was Taylor. She was great. Very attentive. If you are in this area you need to check it out. **They only accept cash and checks**

CASH ONLY, but they do have an ATM on site. You can tell a place is good when it's packed with locals. Still, we were able to get a table immediately on a Saturday night. The pizza crust is great and the toppings are generous. We had to try the fried pepperoni since we'd never heard of it before. It was crispy and delicious, like perfectly cooked bacon. Love that they also have soft serve here. Only complaint was the super boring TV programming. Most TVs were on some weird retirement benefits show without captions, so all you could see was people in suits droning on. Weird that all TVs were on that. At least one should have had some kid friendly programming or something.

When you find yourself in Front Royal, VA you can expect to hear over and over that the best pizza in town is at Melting Pot Pizza. When my partner Elisabeth and I ended up here with our nephew we confirmed that is for a very good reason. First, when you walk into the store you might feel like you have gone back in time a bit to simpler days. It’s not a time machine, that’s just the atmosphere Melting Pot drips, it feels like a place that hasn’t changed much since the 90’s and that’s a good thing. There are beer taps flowing, locals laughing and sports playing in the background. It’s a comforting space that makes you feel welcome immediately, and despite the fact that the parking lot was full we were seated immediately by a very cheerful hostess. When we got to our seats we decided to try an appetizer each, and a pizza each as well. Our waitress came over to take our order and did so with no notes or writing utensils at all! That’s trained skill, and when that happens you know you’re either in danger or in for a real treat. First the appetizers. I got the hot wings, they came out very hot and flavorful. I would say for this Texas boy, they were a little more on the mild side so I would order xtra hot next time but the chicken was juicy and the outside was crisp. We also ordered the fried pepperonis. We didn’t know exactly what to expect but this ended up being just that, fried slices of pepperoni - like little salty meat chips that you could dunk in ranch. We found them extremely addictive. Finally we got the bacon and cheese fries, I didn’t try these but my nephew said they were good and that the cheesy was an oozy and gooey treat. In short order we recieved our pizzas. This isn’t some doughy, thick crust that’s going to send you home rolling on your belly. This is flat crust. The crust was simple, you could taste the olive oil; like a crust I could make at home if I had any idea what I was doing. The sauce was just right, tangy and tomatoey and the cheese was stretching on every bite. I got a classic pepperoni, my partner got the chicken Alfredo and my nephew got the All The Way and on each pizza the toppings were fresh and crisp. This is simple pizza, and that’s exactly what Melting Pot is going for and has perfected. I’m giving it a 5/5 score because if you want a tasty pizza, and a great place to hang out in town this is your spot.

Fizzah S. Was a fantastic server. She was friendly and on top of things. Love to have her wait on us again. And of course the All the Way Pizza was awesome!

Melting Pot Pizza is hands down our family's favorite spot, our son even requested to bring all his friends here for his birthday dinner this year! The appetizers (give us all the wings, bacon cheese fries, and cheese sticks) and the pizza are the best, and the laid-back atmosphere makes it the perfect place to relax and spend time with your family and friends. A special shout-out to our favorite server Trent for being so sweet and attentive, always smiling, and making you feel like family. Make sure to join their online waitlist on your way there, as they stay busy (that should tell you something) and order extra to take home for later! In more than 17 years that I've been going Melting Pot has never disappointed!

This place makes the perfect pizza! The soft crust and the way the cheese melts in every bite are just amazing. The aroma of the pizza was so tempting, and it tasted just as good as it smelled. We really enjoyed every dish, and the wings were a great addition – saucy and flavorful. If you’re a pizza lover, this spot is a must-try.

I’ve lived in Front Royal my whole life and Melting Pot was always my favorite place to go for great pizza. In the last few years it hasn’t been the same so I haven’t been in as often. So I thought I would give it another try and the service was excellent by the young lady named Ashley she was very friendly and on top of her service game. Just for the great service I will definitely go there more and the pizza was good also.

Had a great time here thanks to Ashley W. behind the bar. I ordered a pizza and a beer, and she made sure everything was perfect. She’s personable, quick with a smile, and clearly cares about her guests. The food was tasty, but her service is what stood out most. Thanks, Ashley!
