With summer in full swing, locals realize that you have to fight for your right to attend any of our local eateries. But if you just want a great pizza, why fight when you can avoid Cape Charles altogether and just cruise on over to Gerry’s Ristorante at 22115 Lankford Highway. Straight up, this is the very best pizza on the Shore. The pizzas are so delicious we have even visited twice on the same day!
The sauce is consistently delicious, but what separates Gerry is the quality of the crust–not super thin, not bloated, just the perfect blend of crunch, softness, and flavor. To describe the crust, I would just say real authentic Italian, traditional, legit.
Speaking of crust, it is summer and many of you want to hold onto that beach body. Gerry’s has you covered with an incredible Keto pie made with a cauliflower crust. It’s hard to move me off the traditional, but the keto pie packs all the flavor of the wheat flour crust. Excellent.
Everything is always so fresh, from the toppings to the ingredients in the salads. The Caprese, Greek, Caesar, Chef, Cobb, and Chicken always wipe away the, “Oh no, why did I order a salad!” dread.
Still in the mood for something else? Gerry’s has you covered with subs with great bread and seems to be packed like you’re at an old-school deli. The oven-baked pasta is also a tasty alternative.
The staff is always cheerful and courteous, and the service is fast. We can’t recommend this place any more than this.

Very nice review, certainly a push for Gerry’s pizza. You make it sound as though it is our BEST, maybe even only, choice. But what about Deadrise Pies? Its right here in town, accessible by golf cart and offering a delicious assortment of pizzas, salads and pasta dishes. Equal time please!
The cali crust is really good. Have ordered it many times. Good keto choice. Have had deadrise cali as well and it is also very good.
Gerry’s is THE BEST.

The article is right on the money! Gerry is the best!
Fighting the tourist and the long waits is just not worth the aggravation during the summer time.
Though I love Kelly’s and the brewery, I just don’t need the aggravation. I’ll see you guys again, when the tourist leave.
Was heading north on US 13, called Gerry’s 30 min away and asked to have the pizza ready when I arrived, I picked it up exactly when I said I would arrive and it was hot enough as if it had come out of the oven only moments earlier. It was absolutely delicious. Will plan to make this a primary pizza stop. Nothing going north is better than Gerry’s!,
Good for you.
