Possum Holler Pizza

Sometimes you have to take context into account...

This is a small (very small) town pizza joint. Not necessarily something for those with a taste for gourmet-type pizza places, however, far better than eating a chain-type.

The crust is very thin, there is an option for thick.

Not sure exactly how to describe it, but it is much like what I would call a "homemade" pizza. Not something I would drive out of my way for, but I would certainly stop there again.

For those traveling Route 60, or motorcyclists with their friends, this is a great option for a stop and dine.

Contrary to the other review of this establishment, I found the pizza here to be very mediocre, which might serve the locals well, but is definitely not recommended for those accustomed to top-grade urban pizza joints.

The crust lacked any sort of flavor and seemed devoid of any yeast whatsoever, resulting in a dry, bland, cracker-like crust.  The sauce was sweet and might have been canned.  The cheese was plentiful and of the seemingly artificial variety.

I had to laugh when the garden salad was served with a half-dozen pepperoni on top.  You know you are in WV when pepperoni start popping up on dishes with which you do not normally associate them.  The lettuce itself was iceberg, but crisp and fresh and served with tomatoes.  I liked that the Ranch dressing was served at my table in a bottle as opposed to a single-serve packet.

There were lots of other items on the menu, including stromboli and subs, but my samplings were limited to the above.  About the only other thing I considered buying was one of the t-shirts, which bore the motto "It's Wutz Fer Supper!"

The restaurant itself is not much to look at, but the pizzas are great. It's sort of a hole in the wall. Take-out or delivery is the best option if you don't want to sit inside the run down restaurant.  The name is a little strange, but the pizzas are excellent.
