Gluten-Free Restaurants near Marshall, VA

“We found this little bakery and coffee shop while exploring the area over Labor Day weekend. We arrived early afternoon, so they were out of the lemon blueberry muffin. That’s understandable, so we bought a cinnamon roll and the orange cranberry muffin for breakfast the next day. In house, we enjoyed cookies and a cortado. The coffee drink was delicious and the barista was skilled indeed! They had a wide variety of pies and you could watch them making the pies on the other side of the shop! So, it is indeed a bakery! If you’re in the area and are looking for a treat and good coffee, it’s worth a stop!“

“My family and I have visited this Manhattan Pizza location a few times now, making the ~25-minute drive from Culpeper. One of the main reasons is that, in our opinion, Culpeper is desperate for more strong local pizza options that consistently deliver on food, service, and overall experience. We’re big fans of Tony’s NY Pizza in Northern Virginia, and while we wish we had something comparable closer to home, Manhattan Pizza has been the closest option for us and it’s delivered on that expectation during our visits.

From what we’ve seen, service can vary a bit depending on the day, which some other reviews have mentioned as well. At times, the staff at the counter have come across as less engaged, but on our recent visits, the staff member who brought our pizza out to the table was very kind and helpful, checking in and letting us know they were available if we needed anything. Most of our experience here has been focused on dining in rather than extended interaction at the counter.

The pizza itself is really where this place stands out. In our experience, it’s well-balanced. It's not overly greasy, it has a good amount of cheese and sauce, and it's always full of flavor. One extra-large pizza has been more than enough to feed our family of four, and the pricing has felt reasonable for the quality and portion size. That’s ultimately what keeps us coming back and making the drive on a Friday night.

The location itself is nice and generally well-kept for a pizza spot. One thing that stands out is the decorative brick wall featuring the “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” photo, which gives the place a bit of a rustic, classic feel.

Overall, it’s just really good pizza. The place was packed on the evenings we visited, which says a lot about how the local community feels about it. When we don’t feel like making the longer trip into Northern Virginia, this has become our go-to option that’s closer to Culpeper for a solid pizza night.

Thanks!“
