Papa's Pizza | Our Story
Fresh, handmade pizza since 1998
Papa's Pizza was built on one belief: great pizza starts with real ingredients and real care. More than two decades later, that belief still drives every pie out of our kitchen.
Bassett, 1998
Papa's first opened in Bassett, Virginia in 1998, planting roots with handmade pies and the warmth that keeps neighbors coming back generation after generation.
Salem, 2019
In 2019, third-generation owners Vincenzo and his wife brought Papa's to Salem — expanding the family's Italian-American cooking to a new community on Electric Road.
Tradition and new ideas
Papa's recipes trace back through a family line of Italian chefs, passed down with care. Alongside the classics, new dishes keep the menu fresh — always something to discover, always something familiar.
The Papa's standard
Every pizza is built by hand with carefully selected ingredients. At Papa's, that's not a tagline — it's the only way we know how to cook.
