There is slow, then there is Pierce’s slow, the kind that perfumes your whole day with hickory and anticipation. You can practically set your watch by the smoke rolling over Williamsburg from 11 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week. People call ahead, plan errands, even rearrange road trips just to catch those pulled pork sandwiches at peak juiciness. If you are hungry for tradition, this veteran smokehouse is where time tastes better.

It is affordable, filling, and honest. This is not fussy food. It is the sandwich you plan your afternoon around, especially if the line starts curling past those old photos.
