Lampo has the best pizza in town and is totally worth the wait it takes to get seated! The pizza sheers are an especially fun way to cut the pizza into the just the right size slices!

Smoked Kitchen And Tap’s brisket and cheese sandwich is a Top 5 sandwich in Central Virginia. Yes, it’s that good. We also suggest the following sides: Mac & Cheese and the Baked Beans With Sausage. The Pulled Pork Platter is also a strong order. If you enjoy Cornbread, try Smoked’s rendition. The Cornbread is super sweet and almost “cake like.” It’s damn good!

6. Any Pizza, Dr. Ho’s Humble Pie
