Restaurants & Hospitality
Staunton’s dynamic food scene is powerfully anchored by two highly successful local favorites: Pizza Luca and Chicano Boy Taco. Both restaurants, founded by chef Justin Hershey, are dedicated to quality and unique culinary offerings. Their ability to attract both local residents and tourists make them essential, thriving contributors to Staunton’s economic vitality and downtown atmosphere.
Pizza Luca, nestled in the Historic Auto Architecture District, is celebrated for offering an Italian-American menu featuring brick-fired pizzas and pastas in a beautifully adorned space that fosters warm, casual service.
Chicano Boy Taco is an award-winning Mexican-American taquería focusing on handmade tacos and Mission-style burritos, committed to using fresh ingredients and meticulous, time-honored techniques.
Beyond food, Hershey and his team actively support local schools, nonprofits, and student workers in Staunton.
“All our establishments donate monetary and in-kind gifts to non-profit missions. We host Spirit Nights for the local schools, sponsor sporting teams, and lend our cooking professionals to educators for lectures/demos. Hiring opportunities and seasonal work are offered to active students.”
