🎬 Canton, MS  ·  2 verified deals  ·  9 in verification  ·  Updated July 2026

Canton is the courthouse-square town 25 minutes up I-55 from Jackson — flea-market famous, film famous (A Time to Kill and My Dog Skip both shot here), and fed almost entirely by local soul food, BBQ, catfish and Mexican kitchens priced for working lunches. Here’s our honest catch: we only print prices verified against a restaurant’s own menu or ordering channel, and Canton’s local verification round — the Cooking Diva’s Square menu, Marlo’s pulled pork, Picante’s lunch combos — is happening right now. So today this page carries the two chain values we can already stand behind, the one verified spot that priced out, and the full list of who we’re checking. Bookmark it: the soul food cards are coming.

🍕 Verified Today — Chain Values on Peace Street

Canton’s pizza category is 100% chains — there’s no local pizzeria in town — and both of these sit a block apart on E Peace Street.

Little Caesars

Two Hot-N-Ready Classics — About $16

Here's a Canton fact our research turned up: there is no local pizzeria in town — the entire pizza category is chains, so the value math is chain math. The classic Hot-N-Ready pepperoni or cheese runs about $7.99 at most stores, so two pizzas walk out the door around $16 with no waiting and no ordering ahead. Prices are set per store — the app shows Canton's exact number before you commit.

Domino's

Carryout Deal — Two 1-Topping Pizzas, $15.98

The long-running carryout deal — any 1-topping pizza for $7.99 at participating stores — puts two larges at $15.98 plus tax, and the E Peace Street store sits a block past Little Caesars if you want to comparison-shop the whole Canton pizza category in one parking trip. Order online or in the app to lock the carryout price; delivery pricing is a different (worse) universe.

🔍 In the Verification Queue — the Local Round

This is the part of Canton worth driving for — and the part we won’t print numbers on until they’re confirmed against each restaurant’s own menu, ordering page or a call to the counter. That’s the whole point of this site. Here’s who’s being verified right now, so you know what’s coming:

The Cooking Diva  📍 123 Depot Dr  ·  ⏳ Mon–Fri 11a–2p only, closed weekends

The town's home-cooked-meal spot (about 4.8 stars) — fried and baked chicken plates, Nashville hot chicken, turkey wings, scratch sides, banana pudding. We're verifying plate prices on their Square ordering site now. Weekday-lunch-only, so plan around it either way.

Marlo's Backyard BBQ  📍 910 E Peace St (back of the strip mall — easy to miss)  ·  ⏳ Tue–Sat 10:30a–7p, Sun to 3p, closed Mon

Pulled pork, rib tips and corn muffins with 480+ reviews behind them. Confirming sandwich and plate prices against their merchant-set menu.

Picante's Tacos & Tequila  📍 182 E Peace St, just off the Square  ·  ⏳ Open 7 days

The “I thought my bill would be higher” spot — reviews specifically call out low bills and big portions. Confirming lunch combo and burrito plate prices.

Penn's To Go  📍 707 E Peace St  ·  ⏳ Lunch & dinner

Outpost of the Mississippi regional catfish-and-strips chain; the to-go family boxes are a known value play. Checking current window pricing.

Bumper's Drive-In  📍 1534 W Peace St & 2761 S Liberty St  ·  ⏳ Drive-in hours

Homegrown Mississippi drive-in chain — nostalgic burger-combo-and-shake territory, two locations in town. Checking the board.

T&D N. Hickory St. Sandwich Shop  📍 179 N Hickory St  ·  ⏳ Call ahead

Hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop; locals rave about the burgers. Zero web presence — this one gets verified by phone, the old-fashioned way.

J's Kitchen  📍 the former New South location  ·  ⏳ Takeout-focused

Well-seasoned takeout soul food plates. Note for anyone using stale listings: some still show the old New South name at this address.

Dragon's Garden  📍 600 E Peace St  ·  ⏳ Lunch & dinner

Small-town Chinese lunch combos are routinely the easiest two-for-$20 math anywhere — our sleeper pick once we confirm the combo board.

Seafood King  📍 Feather Ln  ·  ⏳ Closed Sun–Mon

Cajun boils, gumbo, po'boys, catfish. The boils will blow the budget; the po'boy and basket end of the menu might not. Verifying that end only.

💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified but prices and availability change. Always check the restaurant's website or app before making a special trip — and if something's expired, flag it on our main directory so we can update it. Know a Canton price we should verify first? Submit a menu above.

💸 Priced Out — Verified

One Canton verdict is already in, straight from an owner-controlled source: Two Rivers Restaurant (1537 W Peace St) runs its live Toast ordering page with dinner entrées at roughly $33–$88 — the white-tablecloth steak-and-seafood house is the town’s special-occasion spot, not its two-for-$20 play. Only a handful of appetizers and salads sit in the $8.95–$12.95 band. Save it for date night; we’ll save it for that page.
