Papa's Pizza To-Go lives up to it's name - call in your order from their extensive menu, then enter through the separate 'take-out' entrance and be on your way with hot, made-to-order food in a flash. If dine-in is what you want, head through the line and order the affordable pizza buffet and a beverage for less than $8 per person or order something off the menu and dine in.

Sliced calzones, cheese potatoes and cheese bread are some of the surprises you'll find tucked in among the pizzas. The hot pasta bar boasts three kinds of pasta and sauce and shares it's space with the cold salad bar, which has the fresh fixings for a healthy green salad.

Let Them Have Their Cake.....

I'll take the dessert pizza from Papa's Pizza To-Go over cake any day. The warm, gooey chocolate peanut butter pizza evokes the warm fuzzy feelings that songs are written about. Fruit topped dessert pizzas like strawberry, apple and blueberry also await on the dessert bar along with cinnamon sticks to enjoy after your meal.

The murals depict both the old and new aspects town of Blue Ridge, reminding customers of yesteryear in the mountain area with an eye towards the modern.

The game room is small, but clean and sufficient for kids to enjoy a little playtime, win some tokens then redeem those tokens for prizes. A few tables are located in the game room so adults can eat while kids play.
