As home to Appalachian State University, Boone has a pizza scene built for hungry students on a budget. But the value options in this mountain town are not just for college kids — families, weekend visitors, and cabin groups can all benefit from knowing where to find the best pizza deals.
Daily Lunch Specials
Several Boone pizza spots offer weekday lunch specials that make for an affordable meal between hikes or classes. Domino's on Blowing Rock Road runs a steady rotation of coupons and online-only deals. Little Caesars on the same strip keeps things simple with their Hot-N-Ready model — a large pepperoni pizza is always available for a fixed low price.
App State Game Day Deals
During Appalachian State football weekends, many pizza places run special promotions. Papa John's near campus often has game-day codes for discounted large pizzas. Capone's Untouchable Pizza runs periodic specials on their social media channels worth watching.
Best Value for Groups and Families
For cabin groups and large families, pizza by the pie is almost always more economical than individual meals. Hungry Howie's flavored crust options are a hit with kids, and their large pizzas are generously sized. For a step up in quality without breaking the bank, Casa Rustica's lunch specials offer excellent value for Italian-American classics.
Online Ordering Tips
Most Boone-area pizza restaurants offer online ordering through their own websites or third-party platforms. Ordering directly from the restaurant is almost always cheaper than using delivery apps like Uber Eats or DoorDash, which add service fees and marked-up prices. Checking the restaurant's website before you order can save you 15-20% compared to third-party delivery.
