Lori's Italian Grill & Pizzeria | Our Story
Nearly two decades of homemade Italian
Lori's Italian Grill & Pizzeria was built on one straightforward idea: make honest, delicious Italian food and treat every guest like a neighbor. Nearly twenty years later — with two locations in Virginia's Blue Ridge foothills — that's still exactly what we do.
Lori's name on the door
When the owner's name is on the door, the food is personal. Lori's passion for Italian cooking — not a corporate playbook — shapes every recipe and every welcome.
A pizza worth traveling for
Authentic New Jersey-style pizza is rare in Central Virginia — hand-stretched dough, generous toppings, unmistakable char and chew. The Belly Buster Stromboli has its own devoted following.
Fresh ingredients, every time
We source locally and keep things fresh because you can taste the difference. Try the scratch-made Four Cheese Ravioli — one of our most beloved dishes.
Part of the neighborhood
Senior and military discounts, gluten-free options, and a Bambini menu mean there's a place at the table for everyone. Long-time regulars aren't just guests — they're the reason we do this.
Forest and Bedford
What started in Forest grew to a second home on Main Street in historic Bedford, near the National D-Day Memorial. Same kitchen standards, same warm welcome — two front doors.
