Country Club Bakery
The Original Pepperoni Roll — Since 1927 💡 No Counter Prices Posted
The source. In 1927, former coal miner Giuseppe 'Joseph' Argiro baked pepperoni inside soft white bread here so miners had a portable lunch — and the West Virginia pepperoni roll was born. Warm rolls packed with hand-cut pepperoni sticks routinely sell out by noon, and a Legends & Lore historical marker stands out front. Honest note on price: the bakery publishes no counter prices — the only number on its own site is $35.65 for a shipped dozen, about $3 a roll with shipping baked in, so a rolls-for-two lunch should still be one of the cheapest in the state. Call (304) 363-5690 for today's price.

Colasessano's
Pepperoni Buns — Carryout Only 💡 Call for Current Prices
A Fairmont-area family institution since 1950 and the spot many locals say perfected the form. Colasessano's calls theirs pepperoni 'buns' — generously sized, stuffed with five to six pepperoni sticks, then topped with sauce, cheese and peppers. Honest caveat: their own website blocks our price checks, so we can't verify a number — third-party menus put buns around $5, which would land two buns and a shared slice near $15, but call (304) 363-0571 before you count on it. Single carryout-only location in White Hall; the old Pennsylvania Ave shop is closed.
📍 141 Middletown Cir, White Hall · ⏳ Mon–Sat 11–8:30 · closed Sun · carryout only

Muriale's Italian Kitchen
Split the $17 Pasta Marinara 💡 Entrées Now $17–34
The 1969 institution, repriced honestly from its own main menu, August 2026: entrées now run $17–34 — not the $16–25 we used to print — so two full plates start around $34. What still works: the Pasta Marinara is $17 and comes with bread, so split it and you're under $20, or split the $18.95 10-inch pizza special the same way. Even the lunch specials ($14.95–18.95) can't pair under twenty anymore. Big, welcoming room; worth the split.

Mama Di Roma
Downtown Italian & NY-Style Pizza 💡 No Prices Posted — Call
A cheery Adams Street storefront with a massive menu — authentic Italian plates, New York-style pizzas, salads locals order for the house dressing, and a giant pepperoni roll. Open and busy as of spring 2026, but it publishes no menu prices anywhere we can cite, so we won't print a number: call (304) 366-0505 and ask. Locals treat it as one of downtown's best-value rooms, and we believe them — we just can't prove it yet.

Abruzzino's Italian Bakery
Soft-Bread Pepperoni Rolls 💡 Near Shinnston, ~20 Min from Fairmont
Credited as among the first bakeries to switch the pepperoni roll to a softer, sweeter bread — a gentler take than the firm Italian loaf of the originals. Two honest notes: it isn't actually in Fairmont — it's out in Gypsy on Shinnston Pike, about 20 minutes away — and it lives entirely on Facebook, so we can't verify prices. Third parties put rolls at a few dollars each, which should keep two people under $10, but call (304) 592-0461 first. And mind the odd schedule: closed Tuesdays and Saturdays.
📍 6517 Shinnston Pike, Gypsy (near Shinnston) · ⏳ Closed Tue & Sat · call ahead

Dairy Creme Corner
Drive-In Cones & Pepperoni Rolls 💡 Seasonal · Cash Only
The classic Fairmont drive-in and a Pepperoni Roll Trail stop — soft-serve cones, dogs, sandwiches and, of course, pepperoni rolls — back open for the 2026 season since mid-March. Third-party menus put most of the board at $2–6, so two people should get out around $10, but the counter posts no prices online: treat that number as folklore, not a promise. Two house rules to know before you drive over: it's seasonal, and it's cash only, so hit the ATM first.

The Dutchman's Daughter
Two Sandwiches with Chips — ≈$19.50 💡 Two Hoagies Are $21 — Skip Them
The "$16 for two" we used to print is dead — here's the real math from their own White Hall Boulevard menu: sandwiches come with chips and a pickle, and a BLT ($9.75) plus chicken salad ($9.75) is $19.50; swap in the Philly ($9.95) and you're at $19.70. But two hoagies are $10.50 each — $21.00, over the line — and the daily specials ($12.95–16.50) can't pair under $20 either. The sleeper move: grilled cheese ($3.95) plus egg salad ($4.95) is $8.90 for two, quaint European dining room included.

Say-Boy Restaurant
Two Sandwiches with Chips — $15.90–$19.90 💡 Across from Country Club Bakery
The best-verified math in Fairmont, straight from the owner menu: the build-your-own burger and the grilled chicken sandwich are $9.95 each, so two are $19.90 — and a BLT ($9.95) plus a grilled cheese ($5.95) drops it to $15.90, chips included either way. Know the edges: hoagies are $12.50, so two break the budget, and the dinners run $14.95–15.95 — two full dinners are over. It sits directly across from Country Club Bakery, which makes the pepperoni-roll pilgrimage a two-stop trip.

Apple Annie's
Bakery, Sweets & Pepperoni Rolls 💡 Call Before a Special Trip
The White Hall counter for fresh sweets and savory pepperoni rolls alike — a friendly grab-a-roll-and-a-treat stop in the Middletown Commons area. Honest caveat: its website sits behind a captcha wall and the only owner document we could reach is a catering sheet from 2022, so no current prices are verifiable. The "$10 for two" figure floating around is plausible but unproven — call (304) 816-3207 before a special trip.
📍 2600 Middletown Cir Ste 115, White Hall · ⏳ Mon–Sat · closed Sun
💡 Pro tip: Fairmont's cheap-food scene runs on Facebook pages and menu boards, not websites — so where a card above says "call first," we mean it. The prices we can prove come from owner menus (Say-Boy, Dutchman's Daughter, Muriale's); the rest are honest estimates with phone numbers attached. Do the pilgrimage anyway: an original at circa-1927 Country Club Bakery, then a sauced-and-cheesed "bun" at Colasessano's — two people can eat the birthplace of a West Virginia icon for well under $20. Grab the free Pepperoni Roll Trail passport from the Marion County CVB to make a day of it, and if a price has moved, flag it on our main directory so we can update it.
This page carried 13 cards. We checked every one against sources the restaurants control on August 14, 2026. One came off the list — and it's here with the reason, not quietly deleted:

Sheetz
Hot Doggie Delight $19.16+ — Feeds Two · Bundlez from $9.77+
The Altoona, PA-born 24/7 made-to-order kitchen — ~770 stores across seven states — where the Meal Bundlez board on its own ordering menu does the two-person math for you: the Hot Doggie Delight is $19.16+ — six hot dogs, two Extra Biggz appz of your choice and two fountain drinks — the Tailgate for 2 (two burgers, Extra Biggz fryz, two drinks) is $19.55+, and solo bundles like Flatz & Snacks ($9.77+) or Dogz, Appz & Energy ($9.98+) pair up just under the line. Prices read from the chain's own store-selected ordering menu, July 2026 — the '+' means starting price, it moves with your store and your picks, and Sheetz's ordering site now blocks casual price checks, so confirm in the app before you order. Open 24/7.

Buffalo Wild Wings
Pick 6 — From $19.99, Dine-In 💡 Fairmont's Unit Is Takeout-Only
The chain-wide deal is real: Pick 6 builds a shared meal for two — two entrées, two sides, two drinks — from $19.99, per buffalowildwings.com's own promos page, August 2026. The Fairmont catch: the only unit here is BWW GO at 2395 White Hall Blvd, a counter-service takeout store (opened April 2025, no bar), and Pick 6 is a dine-in promotion at participating locations — it very likely does not apply there. The nearest full-service BWW is in Morgantown. Call before you build the order around it.

Cracker Barrel
Early Dinner Deals — Mon–Fri 4–6pm, Dine-In 💡 Price Not Published — Recently ~$8.99
The deal itself is owner-confirmed: crackerbarrel.com's promotions page lists Early Dinner Deals — smaller-portion country plates like Chicken n' Dumplins and Meatloaf — weekdays 4–6pm, dine-in only. What Cracker Barrel won't publish is the price. Recent reports put plates around $8.99, which would feed two for roughly $18, but that number appears on no owner page, so treat it as "varies" and check the menu at the door. Skip the promos page's "Campfire Meals for Two from $34.99" — that is not the budget play. Map fix from our old card: the store is on Pleasant Valley Rd in Fairmont proper, not White Hall.
