Red River Gorge in Kentucky offers stunning outdoor adventures and some of the best pizza at Miguel's Pizza.

Red River Gorge is one of the most resplendent regions in the country, boasting bucket-list-worthy outdoor recreation and extraordinary natural beauty. But the "Grand Canyon of Kentucky" is full of more spectacular surprises, some of which will truly take you by surprise. In fact, we bet you didn't know that some of the best pizza in Kentucky is hiding deep in Red River Gorge. Miguel's Pizza is an under-the-radar gem that might just be the most amazing pizza of your life.

Located within the expansive and extraordinary Daniel Boone National Forest, Red River Gorge is the Holy Grail of outdoor recreation and adventure in the Bluegrass State. For the ultimate Kentucky day trip, there is no place like Red River Gorge.

And after a day spent exploring this slice of paradise, you're bound to work up quite an appetite... for a slice of something warm, cheesy, and carb-y...

...which you'll find at Miguel's Pizza, an adorable little restaurant nestled in the heart of Red River Gorge.

Miguel's is best-known for their creative and inspired 'zas, which come topped with everything from barbecue chicken and hamburger to sweet potato and pesto. And it will all sound good after a day of hiking!

As such, we recommend ordering a half-and-half pie...

...or two, or 10. You've earned it!

Because after spending time in one of the most incredible places in Kentucky, you should be rewarded with something equally amazing... like pizza.

For traditionalists, however, nothing beats Miguel's classic pepperoni pie -- it's pure pizza perfection.

Add an Ale-8-One, and you have the makings of the ultimate Kentucky post-hike meal!

Miguel's is a warm and welcoming little spot that's big on fantastic food and fellowship. There's nowhere better to relax after an adventure-packed day at the Gorge!

It's a bold claim to say that Miguel's Pizza is the best in the Bluegrass, but we stand by it. The next time you're exploring Red River Gorge, take your trip to the next level with a visit to Miguel's.
