Graziano's Pizza
Made-to-Order Pepperoni Rolls
You can grab a pre-packaged pepperoni roll at any WV gas station, but the move in Charleston is a fancy one made to order and served hot — soft bread baked around sticks of pepperoni until the dough soaks up the spiced oil. Graziano's does it right, and the pizza's good too. Two eat for around $14.
Stewart's Original Hot Dogs
WV Slaw Dogs & Root Beer
A Charleston landmark and the place to learn that a real West Virginia hot dog comes with chili sauce, mustard, onion and a mandatory scoop of crisp, sweet cole slaw. Order a couple, add their frosty homemade root beer in a chilled mug, and you've nailed the local classic for a few bucks. Two eat for around $10.
Trivillian's Pharmacy & Soda Fountain
Old-School Soda Fountain
A wonderfully old-fashioned pharmacy soda fountain — the kind of spot where you perch at the counter for a slaw dog, a sandwich and a hand-mixed fountain soda or shake. Pure nostalgia at pocket-change prices. Two eat for around $12.
The Grill
Fried Bologna & Onion Rings
A counter-service comfort joint that nails the Appalachian basics — an impeccable grilled fried bologna sandwich loaded onto grilled bread, crispy hand-battered onion rings, generous fries, and pineapple upside-down cake with ice cream to finish. Welcoming, fast and cheap. Two eat for around $12.
Gino's Pizza & Spaghetti House
WV Pizza Institution
A West Virginia institution since the 1960s, Gino's does the value-priced family thing better than any chain — square-cut pizzas, spaghetti, garlic bread and 'Largest Large in Town' deals. Split a pizza and you're well under budget. Two eat for around $14.
Ellen's Homemade Ice Cream
Downtown Ice Cream & Lunch
A downtown Charleston sweet spot churning out homemade ice cream in a rotating cast of flavors, with soups and sandwiches if you want lunch before dessert. Charming, local and easy on the wallet. Two eat for around $12.
Best of Crete Deli
Greek Deli
A family-run Greek deli bringing gyros, spanakopita, Greek salads and baklava to Charleston. Counter-casual, generously portioned and a nice break from the pepperoni-and-slaw rotation. Two eat for around $14.
Dem 2 Brothers and a Grill
BBQ & Soul Food
A Charleston favorite for smoked barbecue and soul food — ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sides like mac & cheese and greens. Big, hearty plates that two can share and still come in under budget. Two eat for around $16.
Pies & Pints
WV-Born Pizza & Craft Beer
Born in the New River Gorge and now a West Virginia favorite, Pies & Pints pairs inventive wood-fired pizzas (the grape-and-gorgonzola is a cult pick) with a deep craft-beer list. Split a pie and a couple of pints. Two eat for around $18.
Cozumel Express
Authentic Mexican
Skip the chain down the street — Cozumel turns out authentic Mexican plates, tacos and burritos in a dark, easygoing room, with margaritas if you want them. One of the better cheap-and-filling options in town. Two eat for around $14.
Ichiban
Pan-Asian & Sushi
A downtown pan-Asian spot for fresh sushi, bao buns, hibachi and noodle dishes. A more global, sit-down change of pace; share a few rolls and an app to keep things reasonable for two. Two eat for around $18.
Bluegrass Kitchen
Appalachian Farm-to-Table
An East End neighborhood mainstay doing seasonal, locally sourced Appalachian cooking with unusually strong vegetarian options. A little more of a sit-down dinner, but lunch or shared plates keep two around budget. Two eat for around $20.
💡 Pro tip: All deals are community-verified. We linked official menus only where we could confirm them, so most spots here are map-only. Get your pepperoni roll made-to-order and hot, and remember a West Virginia hot dog isn't complete without the slaw. The hot dogs, pepperoni rolls and fried bologna are the cheapest, most authentic way to feed two here. Hours and prices change, so check before a special trip. If something's expired, flag it on our main directory so we can update it.
These chain deals work anywhere in the country, including Charleston.
