Graziano's is a real gem! I absolutely love their pizza. It's about the closest thing you'll get to New York style pizza in the Mountain State. A great crispy crust with the perfect amount of chewiness is what makes their pizza so special. I also love that they sell their various pizzas by the slice, so that you can try their many different offerings without committing to an entire pizza.

Insanely good cupcakes and cakes. They sell out of some things early in the day and book up months in advance for birthdays, weddings, etc. Still, you can pop in any day and get some absolutely fantastic stuff from cakeballs to cupcakes to dipped twinkies. It is great to see a local business not only doing well but doing well because the product is so phenomenal.
