Every season is a wonderful one in Kentucky, but it is true that many of our favorite outdoor destinations and summertime spots tend to quiet down (or even close) throughout winter. It definitely makes sense, as a business must have the support to stay open, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t miss these places while they’re taking a break. That being said, we have great news for those of you who live near or still visit Red River Gorge during the colder months. Miguel’s Pizza in Kentucky, a local, legendary restaurant, will stay open throughout winter for the first time ever and our taste buds couldn’t be happier.
Red River Gorge is a beautiful area of Kentucky that many locals love to visit, especially in the warmer months.
But its natural beauty doesn't go away in the cold of winter. In fact, it takes on a whole new life with broader views, icy waterfalls, and a quiet atmopshere you can't find many other places.
One of the most popular places in the Gorge is Miguel's Pizza, which has been around since 1984.
Typically, this favorite restaurant closes down each year from November until March. There aren't as many visitors to the area during these months, so this decision makes sense. However, for the first time ever, Miguel's will stay open throughout the winter season.

Miguel's winter hours (now into March) will be Friday 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
That means you can now stop by during a winter weekend getaway in the Gorge. You're likely to find a lighter crowd, but you'll still find a welcoming and laid back atmosphere, as well as the delicious pizza and other menu items.
Of course you can easily have 70 degree days in December in Kentucky, so who knows what the weather will be like. But if it is frigid out, grab a cozy table inside.
If you've never been to Miguel's, you're in for a tasty treat.
You can order your pizza however you like and chose from one slice, two slices, a half pizza, or a whole. Once you order, you'll be given a number and can take a seat until your food is ready.
Your pizza will come out hot and fresh, piled with the tastiest ingredients.
You can always book a room at Natural Bridge State Resort Park, or try a unique treehouse. Another option is to bring a group and stay in a gorgeous lodge or a room at Cliffview Resort, shown above.
Miguel’s Pizza in Kentucky is known for its delicious pizza, awesome location in the Gorge, and the relaxed atmosphere that this region is known for. If this is your favorite warm weather dining destination, then maybe this year you should try a winter visit to Red River Gorge and chow down on some of the best pizza in Kentucky.
