2025 Best Pizza: Hitching Post

May 17, 2025 | Ellijay

Congratulations to Hitching Post for winning Best Pizza in the 2025 Ellijay Restaurant Week! 🏆✨

For over 40 years, The Hitching Post has been serving up fresh, flavorful pizzas that have become a staple for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re craving a classic large cheese pizza or their famous special pizza (our favorite), loaded with pepperoni, beef, sausage, onion, bell peppers, green olives, black olives, and mushrooms, there’s a slice for every taste.

In addition to the fan-favorite Special, you can try other delicious options like The Meat with pepperoni, sausage, beef, and ham, The Veggie, or the tropical twist of The Hawaiian. Each pizza is crafted with fresh ingredients, making it the perfect choice for any occasion.

When you pick up your pizza, why not pair it with a local brew? The Hitching Post offers a great selection of locally brewed beers, handcrafted Ellijay-area wines, and crisp ciders that complement their pies beautifully.

Whether you’re enjoying your pizza on a cozy night in your Ellijay cabin, grabbing a quick bite during lunch, or sharing it after a day of exploring the town, The Hitching Post serves up the kind of pizza that makes every moment feel like a celebration!
