A no-frills Route 7 spot locals rely on for quick, hot pizza without leaving town.
RT.7 Pizza2Go is the obvious choice when you want pizza without a long drive, tucked just off the main drag in New Matamoras.

Best overall pick
The Original Pizza Place
Downtown Marietta • Classic Ohio Valley Pizza Shop • Downtown Day-Trip Pick
A downtown Marietta standby known for square-cut pies and a steady stream of locals.
The Original Pizza Place is a staple for many Washington County families, and it makes an easy stop if you are pairing pizza with a stroll around Marietta’s historic brick streets. The crust leans toward the classic Ohio Valley style—thin, crisp at the edges, and cut into squares—so it is great for sharing. Grab a booth, order a couple of different topping combinations, and people-watch as the evening crowd drifts in.
03
Best for families
Jukebox Pizza
Waterford Crossroads • Family-Friendly Small-Town Pizzeria • Best For Families
A relaxed, small-town spot where big pies and friendly service make it easy to bring the whole crew.
Jukebox Pizza in Waterford has the cozy, slightly retro feel of a place that has been hosting teams and birthday parties for years. Pizzas come generously topped, with plenty of kid-pleasing choices alongside heavier specialty pies for hungry adults. It is the kind of place where nobody rushes you out, so you can linger over refills and a second pizza if the table is still hungry.
04
Worth crossing the river
Smitty's Pizza
St. Marys Riverfront • Wv-Style Square-Cut Pizza Joint • Worth The River Crossing
A St. Marys favorite serving West Virginia–style square-cut pies just across the river from Washington County.
For many Matamoras and Newport residents, a pizza night in St. Marys at Smitty's is a familiar routine. The pizza leans hearty, with a slightly thicker crust and a generous layer of cheese that holds up well for takeout back across the river. If you like to graze, split a large pizza and a side or two and enjoy the easygoing small-town atmosphere before heading home.
05
Sit-down Italian classic
Giacomo's Pizza & Spaghetti House
Parkersburg Historic District • Old-School Italian Pizza And Pasta House • Best For A Sit-Down Meal
A nostalgic Parkersburg institution where pizza shares the spotlight with big plates of red-sauce pasta.
If you are turning your pizza run into a night out, Giacomo's in Parkersburg is a solid choice. The menu reads like a classic Italian-American playbook: hand-tossed pizzas, baked pastas, and plenty of red sauce, served in a dining room that feels unchanged in the best way. It is a longer drive from Matamoras, but the combination of hearty pies and full-service atmosphere makes it a good pick when you want more than a quick carryout box.
