About Pizzas & Cream

Pizzas & Cream has been a beloved part of the West Virginia community since March 2015.

We are now opening a brand-new second location in South Charleston July 2026, and we are looking for the right leader to help us bring that same community spirit to a new home.

Our Values

At Pizzas & Cream, we believe in doing the basics the best and treat people the way we would want to be treated. Rooted in our Christian faith, that golden rule guides how we lead our team, serve our guests, and show up in our community.

• Craftsmanship & Pride in the Product - Real food, real ingredients, no shortcuts. Every pizza and every scoop reflects who we are.
• People First- We invest in the people who work here, develop talents, and create an environment where showing up feels worth it.
• Enriching the Community We Serve - We grew because of community support. We take that seriously and want to be a place people are proud to have in their neighborhood.
