Blessing Pizza Gettysburg: Menu, Prices & the Family Story

Blessing Pizza Gettysburg is a family-run pizzeria in the food court at The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg, serving specialty pies, wings, subs and slices. After two decades of writing about regional restaurants, I know how maddening it is to find scattered menus, mismatched phone numbers and unclear hours when you’re hungry after a long day of shopping or battlefield touring.

This guide fixes that. You’ll find the full menu with the prices listed online, a plain-English explanation of the pickle and birria pizzas that visitors keep asking about, and the story of the Huinil family behind the counter. By the end, you’ll know what to order, what it costs, how to order it, and why this small shop feels more personal than the typical food-court stop.

Blessing Pizza: A Family’s Quest for the American Dream

Blessing Pizza is the latest business launched by the Huinil family. Ermegildo Huinil’s father, Mariano, left Central America in 2002, and his four sons followed, with Ermegildo arriving first as the eldest. That single detail changes how you read the menu. This isn’t a franchise concept designed in a boardroom. It’s the newest chapter of an immigrant family’s story, told through food.

The family is originally from Guatemala, which sits between Mexico and El Salvador. That geography explains how one family can cook Mexican and Salvadoran dishes with confidence, and why a pizzeria from them includes a birria pie and a pickle pie alongside the pepperoni. Ermegildo has said the family feels blessed by how warmly people welcomed them, and that gratitude runs through the shop’s name, its tagline (“Be Blessed”) and its approach to service.

For a reader deciding where to eat, the story matters for a practical reason: family-run counters tend to care about repeat customers. Ermegildo says two things matter most to them: everything is fresh, with every order coming out as soon as it’s done, and service, because they love to help people. That’s a promise you can test with your first order.

The American Dream

Mariano worked several years in supermarkets before opening Tienda La Mexicana, a small grocery on York Street in Hanover, in 2015. That grocery was the first successful step on a longer road. It proved the family could build something lasting one customer at a time, and it gave them the confidence, and likely the local reputation, to try something bigger. Years later, that same steady approach is what put a pizza counter in a busy outlet food court.

Opening Doors

The family’s second step was literally on wheels: the La Bendición food truck, which started in 2017 serving tacos and pupusas. The name translates to “the blessing,” and it became the thread connecting everything that followed. In 2018, the family opened Blessing Restaurant in Hanover, offering Mexican favorites and Salvadoran dishes, after seeing that no one nearby was doing Salvadoran food. Each step opened the next door, and Blessing Pizza is the latest one.

Blessing Pizza and Blessing Restaurant

Blessing Pizza started turning out pies in the outlet food court in February 2023, after the Hanover restaurant and a second Blessing Restaurant on Steinwehr Avenue in Gettysburg. The cleanest way to think about it: one family, several businesses, different menus. Pizza, wings and subs are at the outlet counter. Tacos, pupusas, fajitas and birria plates are at the restaurants.

The confusion comes from online listings. Blessing Restaurant & Pizzeria in Hanover, at 3 E Walnut St, lists pizzas such as birria and pickle alongside its other menu items. Slice also lists a separate Blessing Restaurant at the Gettysburg outlets, suite 1060, next to the pizza counter at suite 1030. If you’re ordering ahead for pickup, always check the street address and suite number on the confirmation screen before you pay. A wrong location is the most common avoidable mistake.

Hours at outlet centers shift with the season and holidays, so call before a special trip. And if the two phone numbers bother you, they should: a business with inconsistent contact details is harder for both customers and search engines to trust, which is exactly why this page lists both and tells you to verify.

Blessing Pizza Specialty Large Pizzas

The large pies cover the classics you’d expect: cheese, pepperoni, Hawaiian, supreme, meat lovers, veggie lovers, white and buffalo chicken. Slice lists cheese at $14.99, pepperoni at $18.50, Hawaiian at $19.99, and supreme, meat lovers and veggie lovers at $22.99 each. For a food-court pizzeria in a tourist town, those numbers are in the normal range for a large pie, and the cheese pizza is the budget entry point.

The spread between the cheapest and priciest standard pies is $8.00, from the $14.99 cheese to the $22.99 loaded options. Whether the upgrade is worth it depends on your table. If two people want meat and one wants vegetables, the supreme is the peacemaker. If everyone’s easy, pepperoni at $18.50 is the value play. White pizza at $19.99 suits anyone who wants to skip red sauce.

There’s also the outlier. An Italian pizza is listed at $39.99, roughly double most other pies. The listings don’t explain what’s on it, so ask at the counter before you order. It may be a larger size or a heavily loaded pie, and either way you’ll want to know before spending forty dollars.

Gluten-free eaters take note: the 12-inch crust comes topped with house sauce and cheese, and it costs the same as a large cheese pie. If you need to avoid gluten for medical reasons, ask staff about shared prep surfaces and ovens. A food-court kitchen is a shared space, and no menu listing can answer that for you.

Blessing Pizza Birria and Pickle Pizza Explained [ADDED]

These two pies draw the most curiosity, so they deserve their own explanation. Birria is Mexican beef that’s a little sweet, a little savory and a little spicy. Putting it on pizza is a blend of cuisines, and it’s the clearest example of the family’s background showing up on a pizza menu. The birria pizza is listed at $21.99.

If you’ve had birria tacos, you’ll recognize the flavor profile in a new format. Slow-cooked beef is rich, so expect a heavier, more savory slice than a typical pepperoni. It makes sense for an adventurous eater who wants something they can’t get at a national chain. A practical tip: if you’re unsure, order it for the table rather than as your only meal, so everyone can try a slice.

Pickle pizza is the other talking point. It’s listed at $19.99, the same price as Hawaiian and white pizza. Pickle pizza is a divisive idea by nature: some people love the tangy, briny contrast against melted cheese, others want nothing to do with it. The menu doesn’t specify the sauce or toppings, so ask what’s on it, especially if you’re sensitive to garlic or dairy-heavy white sauces.

Together, these two pies are the reason the shop gets talked about beyond the outlet parking lot. If you’re only going to try one unusual item, make it the one that matches your taste: savory and meaty leans birria, tangy and playful leans pickle.

Blessing Pizza Traditional Wings

Wings come in 6, 12, 24 and 50 pieces, priced at $8.99, $15.99, $27.99 and $49.99. The pricing rewards bigger orders. Break it down and a 6-piece costs about $1.50 per wing, the 12-piece about $1.33, the 24-piece about $1.17, and the 50-piece almost exactly $1.00. If you’re feeding a crowd, ordering 24 instead of two 12s saves roughly $4.

Sauce options include hot buffalo, mild, BBQ, Old Bay, or plain. Old Bay is the interesting one. It’s a seasoning blend familiar across the Mid-Atlantic, and it gives wings a savory, spiced crust rather than heat. If you like dry-rub flavor or crab-seasoning-style snacks, start there. If you’re feeding mixed tastes, a 24-piece lets you pick a couple of sauces, if the counter allows splitting, which is worth asking.

A dozen wings plus a large pie comfortably feeds four people. For a larger group, such as a tour party, a school trip or a reunion, the 50-piece is the most economical option on the board.

Blessing Pizza Hot Subs

The hot subs include a chicken cheesesteak at $13.99, a cheesesteak at $14.99, a cheeseburger sub at $13.99 and a pizza steak sub at $13.99. The online menu lists fries among the standard fixings alongside mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion, which makes these subs a more filling meal than the price suggests. Confirm at the counter how fries are served, whether inside the sub or on the side.

The pizza steak sub is the most “Blessing” order on the menu. It’s listed with steak, cheese and marinara sauce, which puts the pizzeria’s identity into a sandwich. If someone in your group isn’t in the mood for pizza, a hot sub keeps them happy while everyone else shares a pie.

The $1.00 gap between chicken cheesesteak and classic cheesesteak is small, so choose by preference, not price. If you eat poultry for health reasons or just like the lighter flavor, go chicken. If you’re after the traditional beef-and-cheese experience, the cheesesteak is the straightforward choice.

Blessing Pizza Cold Subs

The cold subs run from $12.99 for ham and cheese to $13.99 for the Italian, turkey and cheese, and tuna and cheese. They’re the lowest-priced full meals on the menu, and they sit below any specialty pizza. For a solo diner on a budget, a cold sub is often a better deal than ordering slices.

Cold subs are also the most travel-friendly item. If you’re touring Gettysburg’s battlefields, walking Steinwehr Avenue or heading back on the road, a cold sub holds up far better than a hot pie or a box of wings. Order one to take with you, and ask whether it can be wrapped separately from the fries if you’re taking it to go.

The Italian sub is the one to pick if you want the full deli experience; ham and cheese or turkey and cheese suit kids and picky eaters; the tuna and cheese appeals to anyone who wants something lighter. At roughly $13 each, a family of four can eat sandwiches for around $52 before tax, a useful comparison against one large pie plus wings.

Blessing Pizza House Specialty

The house specialty list includes garlic knots at $8.99 and a small stromboli at $11.99. Garlic knots are the easiest add-on for a table sharing a pie, soft, buttery and made for dipping. The small stromboli gives you a handheld, cheese-filled option for someone who doesn’t want slices or a sub.

The shop’s own tagline, “Eat like an Italian,” promises fresh ingredients masterfully prepared with love and meant to be shared. That last phrase, “meant to be shared,” is the best ordering advice on the page. The menu is built for tables: big pies, wings by the dozen, garlic knots in the middle.

The appetizer list rounds things out. Slice shows fries at $4.72, garlic bread at $4.99, cheese fries and onion rings at $5.99, mozzarella sticks at $5.99, bacon cheese fries at $6.99, and breaded mushrooms at $6.99. Individual slices are also listed, including cheese, pepperoni, veggie, Hawaiian, white and buffalo chicken, so a solo shopper can eat well without ordering a full pie. Slice prices aren’t shown in the listing, so ask at the counter.

How to Order Blessing Pizza Online [ADDED]

You have two main online routes. The Clover ordering page shows the menu in categories with prices, and the Slice page lets you order ahead for pickup. Both display the same core items, though a few prices differ slightly between platforms. If you see a small mismatch between the Clover and Slice lists for the same pie, the counter price is the one that counts.

Before you submit any online order, run through a short checklist: confirm the address reads 1863 Gettysburg Village Dr, Suite 1030; confirm the pickup time against the posted hours; and check that you picked Blessing Pizza and not the neighboring Blessing Restaurant listing. These three checks take ten seconds and prevent the usual mix-ups.

For calling in, use the outlet number first, (717) 969-0991, which appears on both the outlet site and Yelp. Use the Slice number only if the first one doesn’t connect. And because the shop sits inside an outlet food court, allow extra time to park and walk in, especially on weekends and holidays when the center is busy.

Blessing Pizza Sample Orders and Budget [ADDED]

Menu lists are useful, but most people want one simple answer: what should I order for my group, and what will it cost? Here are realistic combinations built only from the listed prices, before tax and tip.

The family-of-four order, an $18.50 pepperoni, $15.99 for a dozen wings and $8.99 for garlic knots, totals $43.48. That works out to under $11 a person, and it’s a full meal. The adventurous pair is the “try both” order: pickle at $19.99 plus birria at $21.99 comes to $41.98, and it makes a good shared tasting for two or three people.

If you’re watching your budget, the cheapest full meal is a cold ham and cheese sub at $12.99. The cheapest way to feed a crowd per person is the 50-piece wing order at $49.99 paired with a couple of cheese pies at $14.99 each. For a mixed group with a gluten-free eater, add the $14.99 gluten-free 12-inch and ask about prep.

All totals exclude tax and any online fees, and prices may change, so treat them as a planning guide.

So here’s the short answer on Blessing Pizza: go for the family story, stay for the pickle or birria pizza, order wings by the dozen, and let the whole table share. It’s an easy, honest stop at the Gettysburg outlets that rewards curiosity, and it’s worth checking the hours and address before you go.
