Outer Banks Pizza Restaurants

Cosmo’s offers Italian-style food that’s worth seeking out. The pizza crust is perfect — crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and with just a hint of sweetness. Choose from any of their fabulous pizza concoctions (ask about their unique weekly specialty pizzas) or create your own. Cosmo’s also offers salads, pasta dishes, subs, beer and wine. You can get take out or have it delivered.

Based at Hotel Manteo, Firetender Stone-Oven Cooking + Bar is one of Manteo's most popular restaurants and gathering spots. The setting is moody and cosmopolitan, with dark walls and sophisticated details, yet it's entirely comfortable and cozy, the perfect place for lingering at the bar, intimate dining and gathering with friends. The restaurant is centered around its custom-built stone oven, the source of its incredible stone-oven pizzas. Seating is available at the pizza bar, where you can watch the chefs prepare these specialty delights. The menu also includes chef-prepared small plates, entrees, hearth-fired Skillets (meals served in a cast-iron skillet), kids' offerings and desserts. Firetender has a full bar and is proud to be a taproom for Weeping Radish Brewery, which originated in Manteo and was the first microbrewery in North Carolina. Firetender is open six nights a week for dinner and also serves Sunday brunch with a specially curated menu. Seating is available indoors or outdoors. Free delivery and takeout are available. Above Firetender is a private event space called Embers Room, which can accommodate up to 60 people in an upscale setting.

One of the most well-known and trusted caterers on the Outer Banks – a legend since 1985 – Kelly’s offers family-style meals as well as individual meals for delivery or pick up. While they still provide customized full-service catering events for any size group, self-directed services are very popular with their vacationing guests. Whether it’s for one night or each night during your stay, Kelly’s can satisfy all your dining needs. No matter how you use their services, don’t forget to add on several dozen of their ever-popular sweet potato ham biscuits.

Sorella's specializes in authentic Italian dishes, salads, pastas and, of course, pizza. The pasta dishes are sublime, and the pizzas are gourmet quality. The full menu is available for take out from their to-go window, and free delivery is available throughout the village. The menu options here are the perfect way to fill up hungry family and friends at the end of a busy day on the island.

White's Shopping Center in Manns Harbor is not your typical gas station. When you're traveling to the Outer Banks on 64/264, they are the last convenience store on the mainland. It is a multi-purpose business that offers a wide range of products and services. In addition to fuel, they have a diverse selection of beach supplies, souvenirs, home decor, Jen & Co. purses, clothing, gifts, groceries, beer and wine. Tucked away in the back of the store is a local favorite restaurant that serves delicious meals in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The restaurant boasts an extensive affordable menu, featuring breakfast items all day, sandwiches, burgers, BBQ and fresh seafood from Outland Seafood next door. You won't be disappointed by their daily specials, which include meatball subs, gyros, Southern chicken & pastry, hamburger steak, pot roast and more. To top it all off, they sell Hunt Brothers Pizza. Whether you prefer dining in or taking out, White's Shopping Center's grill has something for you.
