Downtown Piedmont · On the Chief Ladiga Trail
Pizza at the heart of the outdoor trifecta
Brick oven pizza, sandwiches, and cold drinks right on the trail. Bike in, hike in, paddle up, or just pull up a chair. Made from scratch and fired in a six-foot Woodstone oven.
Kevin and Maggie Cunningham
Owners
Piedmont natives who built the first restaurant on the Chief Ladiga Trail, in the old Main Street building where Maggie's family ran a hardware store.
From the oven
Brick oven pies, made from scratch
House-made dough and sauce, fresh ingredients, and a six-foot Woodstone brick oven that gives the crust its char. Order a local legend like the Piedmonster meat lover, a classic Margherita, the Bulldog BBQ, or a buffalo chicken pie, or build your own. There are salads, sandwiches and muffulettas, a monster pretzl with beer cheese, and soft-serve to finish.
More than pizza
Sandwiches, salads, and a cold drink on the patio
Hot sandwiches and hearty muffulettas for big appetites, crisp salads for a lighter meal, and a good selection of domestic and craft beer. The patio sits right on the trail, so you can roll up mid-ride and grab a bite without changing out of your cleats.
The room
A stage, trail maps, and a whole lot of character
The walls are covered in canoes, retro bikes, instruments, and trail maps that double as table toppers. There is a stage for live music, and the place hosts everything from trail-volunteer appreciation dinners to cornhole and shuffleboard. It has quickly become the gathering spot on the trail for the outdoor community and beyond.
What folks are saying
“Really shocked by this establishment. They served us some of the best pizza we have ever eaten, all in small little Piedmont, Alabama. You only get this quality in large cities.”
“The pizza was about the best pizza I have ever had. Everything tasted fresh and the brick oven taste was out of this world. The staff and owners were friendly and efficient.”
“This is such a hidden gem. The brick oven pizza was delicious, a really good selection of craft beer, and funky eccentric decor. Loved everything about it.”
“We camped here while cycling. The friendly owners and delicious pizza made it a perfect stop after 4,000 miles.”
“My wife absolutely loves their gluten-free pizza. It is a great addition to the Piedmont area.”
“First time at Pinhoti Pizza and we will definitely be back. It is now our go-to place in Piedmont. Fresh ingredients, superior pizza, and great customer service.”
