Encore pizzeria + Kitchen

This place has great pizza and other Italian-style fare in a casual atmosphere. Neapolitan-style pizza baked in a wood-fired oven. Their unique salad creations are excellent as well. Located in the historic and scenic downtown area where there is plenty of public parking available.

This place has got to have the hottest staff in Cape G. So, get this - I walk in and Dyami is slapping some pizza dough with his tight gloves on - Cody is in there spraying off the dishes gettin all cleeeeean - and then Braxton greets me with a face that could be carved onto a Greek statue. 10/10 wonderful aesthetics. And to top it off they gave me a pizza with such a good hot honey drizzle that I finished half of it before I even got home. Go. Get. Your. Pizza. Best pizza in Cape. Hottest staff in Cape. Put that on a sign

And that’s not even talking about the toppings and cheese! We ordered the Pepperoni + Hot Honey pizza and the Encore Alfredo Pizza and had plenty left over of the most delicious pizza I have ever had.

My fiancé and I had an incredible experience at Encore Pizzeria + Kitchen. The food was absolutely phenomenal—we split two pizzas: the Vodka Chicken Parm and the Alfredo Pizza, along with an order of their Chicken Fried Potato and the Chopped BLT Salad with avocado ranch. Every bite was memorable, but I honestly have to say—this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. Before ordering, I asked for clarification on the Chicken Fried Potatoes since there wasn’t a description on the menu. For anyone wondering, they’re slices of potato with a crispy fried chicken-style breading (no actual chicken), served with their signature fry sauce—which was delicious, offering a sweet and tangy flavor that complemented the crispiness perfectly. The Alfredo Pizza was super creamy and flavorful, while the Chicken
