Visited on a Saturday night around 7pm - was told 25 min wait that ended up being more like 45 min to an hour, but we killed time by walking around nearby shops. The food, ambiance and service was all good. read more

Deadrise Italian Kitchen - Pizza Near Me - Cape Charles, Virginia

So the whole menu is great! Love the pizza, of course. We usually get a large White Sail or Valhalla and it's been delicious every time! Dough is perfection, flavor is definitely there, love going whenever we can. However, my one note is that the demand outweighs the availability of service, particularly in the summertime. Would love to see them get a larger space to accommodate more tables and staffing to keep up with the demand! read more

Such a cute lil pizza place! Perfect meal post beach day in Cape Charles. Food was delicious, beer was ice cold and desserts hit the spot! They have side street parking available. I would be early because this place gets packed during the summer days! read more

Deadrise Italian Kitchen - The Titanic: pepperoni, sausage, jalapeno bacon, beef and ham - Pizza Near Me - Cape Charles, Virginia

All too often, the "one pizza joint" in a small town can let you down. Deadrise Pizza will not do that. They use a dough that makes you want to eat the crust and a combination of pies that will make you overbuy how much you need. Good thing your rental will come with a fridge! Another one of the establishments that really is a solid choice to have a meal on the water as you watch the sunset, Deadrise is a solid spot and a must check out restaurant during your next stay in Cape Charles. read more

We had a fantastic dinner here on a busy Memorial Day weekend. The menu has a great selection of pizzas, salads, small plates, home made pasta and Chicken/Veal entrees. I opted for the "Pasta Boat" house pie (pizza) which was fantastic. It consisted of mushrooms, roasted red peppers, black olives, arugula, and balsamic.....OH MY! So good! They also have gluten free crust (cauliflower) if you like that dietary option. We sat at a high top table towards the back and watched their amazing kitchen staff work seamlessly together like an orchestra. We joked that it was like sitting at the chef's table which we loved. The restaurant was busy and vibrant but not too noisy inside. There is also outside patio seating. Be aware that if you are on the waitlist you have 10 minutes once you receive the text notification to return to the restaurant before your name is booted out of the system and taken off of the list. read more

Nice little place on the Eastern Shore to stop in and grab a bite. The service is friendly and fare good! It's a bit noisy inside but that's expected as it is a locals' hangout. The Frito Misto was delicious and the pizza just as good. read more

We tried Deadrise for the first time during our recent trip to Cape Charles. Normally I wouldn't go for pizza and Italian on a beach vacation but Cape Charles has limited options and we've eaten at just about every restaurant in Cape Charles. The menu is typical Italian. We ordered insalata misto (which was great) and meatballs for appetizers. Both were good. The meatballs were a bit dry but the flavor was good. The salad was really good! For entrees chicken piccata with a pesto pasta and veal parm. Both were good. We also got a pizza to go and added prosciutto and it was one piece off prosciutto divided among the slices. I wouldn't do that again. No value for the price. This was a good place to eat. I might just get a takeout pizza next time so we can much on it at the beach or at our hotel. read more

Amazing! Our pizza was delicious, and our service was even better. Great outdoor atmosphere too

First of all, we love Dylan! She was an amazing server! Very interactive and on top of everything. The food was crazy amazing! I had lump crab and herbs pasta. The pasta was homemade, and perfectly cooked, Seasoning en pointe, and sauce was bright, lemony, and buttery. This was one of my favorite pasta dishes I've ever had! My hubby had the push boat pizza which looked amazing, and he said it was delicious! I told my hubby, I would drive the 5 hours it takes us to get to Cape Charles, just to eat here again! Love love love this place! read more

Managed to get 2 seats at the bar. This place is super busy. A bartender at the Beach Bar recommended it, so instead of seafood we decided to try pizza. Loved the vibe. Nice bustling place. Love the decor and the story behind the name. The bartender was very attentive and bought us 2 ice cold beers right away. We ordered the Insalta Mista Salad. It was fresh and delicious. We also ordered the Pound Netter Pizza. Wow, great crust, delicious toppings, really fantastic! My husband wanted Cannolli, as we miss the ones we get all over the Northeast Italian places. They were great. I ordered the Zeppoles for the same reason. After eating them my whole life in NY, NJ and Italian Street festivals, I was psyched. Instead of being the traditional airy, fluffy, hand fried dough balls, typically the size of golf balls, they were smaller than a tater tot, hard and dry. The bartender was nice enough to take them off the bill, but... said I was confused with beignets. If you are Italian, you know the only differences are: The shape. Beignets are square and from New Orleans, Zeppoles are round, unrolled, hand fried dough served at Italian Festivals and Restaurants all over the Northeast . Beignets are sprinkled with powdered sugar, Zeppoles are shaken in a bag of powdered sugar. If you're not going to do them the right way, don't. They were a disappointment after a perfect meal. Again, perfect meal otherwise. Fair pricing as well. read more

Noisy and inconsistent. Pizza is great but pasta dishes left me unhappy. Sometimes good, other times NO. One never knows. Twice I became very ill after having their salads. Avoid these, kitchen or food handling may not be clean. Service is good. Too loud inside!!! read more

Cute place in the historic section of Cape Charles. This is one of those little towns that make me love the Eastern Shore. We were camping nearby and we're in the mood for pizza, and a friend who lives up here recommended the DeadRise. As it is the off-season, we were seated right away. I'm sure the place is packed in the summer. We started with drinks and I had the mochatini totally yummy, but not really worth the $14. Based on prior reviews, we started with the breadsticks. They were really tasty, especially the seasoning. When asked if they had a small side salad, we were told they do not, but there salads are large enough for 2 people. We decided to split a Caesar. It was definitely good, we'll dressed, but certainly not big enough for 2 adults. Where they really shined was the pizza. They make their dough in house and it shows. I'm guessing the sauce is homemade as well. It was perfect - not too acidic, not too sweet. We ordered extra cheese and half Italian sausage. Toppings were all generous and it was cooked well. The star of the show though is that crust, thin, crunchy and it has a great taste. Fast, friendly and attentive service means we will be making more stops here in the future. read more

This place is delicious! Friendly and attentive service - indoor and outdoor seating - a great menu with sandwiches and pizza and salads - and quality ingredients. We heard high praise about their new menu and expanded service so we chose this as our lunch before heading back to the beach after a morning hiking around Bay Creek. We were starving and easily found a seat outside on the covered patio. Our waitress was friendly and prompt and we ordered the meatballs to start, the burrata salad, and the arvor pizza with prosciutto, pineapple, onion and sun-dried tomato. Meatballs were our first, delicious and moist. You get three with a piece of toasted focaccia which was phenomenal. Good thing we liked it bc my salad came with about 5 large pieces covered in greens, olive oil tomato and the burrata in the center. This was the star for me, the salad was wonderful and light and fresh and the bread was tops. Pizza was also delicious so we devoured almost everything and enjoyed the meal. We saw tons of sandwiches go by that also looked wonderful. An easy visit and a win for sure. I'm adding it to the must-stop list whenever I'm in town. read more

Worst pizza in ESVA, the crust was like a thin piece of cardboard. Such a disappointment!

We've only ever done carry out. It's such a good pizza place which can't always keep up with the demand - their website will stop taking pizza orders if their pizza orders are overrun, but it will still take another 20 minutes after the website said your order might be ready for it to be ready. But it's absolutely delicious, and so nice to pick up and eat on the beach. Hubby likes the Pound Netter. Also, note that they have a limited carry out menu - some stuff is available dine-in only. read more

Always a great pizza. Excellent cannoli. Very good complete meals. Service is attentive and courteous.

Solid food, friendly service even when they are slammed, and kid friendly space. The appetizer meatballs and Brussels sprouts salad and bolognese pasta all were excellent. Someone else ordered pizza and said it was great. Definitely on the list for another visit. read more

Arguably the best food in Cape Charles. The pizza was crispy and full of flavor, the calamari was well seasoned and very good and all the orders that went past our table looked really good. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The service was a little lacking. It took more than 20-25 minutes after our appetizer for our pizza to come out. A table behind us actually asked for their food to go and left because of the long wait. Other than the service, we had a great experience. read more

Anniversary trip to Cape Charles and Deadrise was our first meal here. A 10 out of 10! Nice casual atmosphere. Our server, Dani, was top notch. And the food was nothing but quality and delicious! We had the grilled artichokes as an appetizer. For entrees we had White Sail pizza and Penne a la Vodka. All of it was fabulous! Be sure to treat yourself to a meal here. Thank you Deadrise -- we'll be back! read more

Good food.service was friendly. We order pizza to go all the time. Everyone raves. Ordering on line is a chalk. Prefer ordering on phone.

We arrived very hungry just after 5 pm on a Monday to a nearly empty restaurant. We were immediately greeted and seated. Mariah, our server was friendly and attentive. We split the Caesar salad; the lettuce was crisp and the dressing tasty. Hubby had the homemade Tagliatelle pasta with veal Bolognese which was delicious with large chunks of veal (as opposed to ground meat) and I had the 10" margarita pizza. The very thin crust had a nice garlicky crisp to it. Weren't sure we'd have room for dessert but the cannoli called our names! The filling was just right smooth and sweet and the shells nice and crispy. A nice 70s playlist heavy on Steely Dan was playing. It was a bit too loud and we asked if they could turn the music down which was done immediately but the volume seemed to increase again by the time we left. My only other complaint was that the iced tea was served in plastic cups with plastic straws, something I wish restaurants would stop doing. Otherwise, we had a delicious and enjoyable meal! read more

The pizza was absolutely delicious! This is definitely a go to spot for pizza when in town!

Such yummy pizza and limoncello! Took forever for the waitress to come to our table though. I was expecting pasta since it shows photos on Yelp but it wasn't anywhere on the Menu. I asked and it's only at night. Was sad about that since I was really hoping for that. read more

A true Cape Charles staple. A must-go when you are within 20 miles of the area. We always eat one and town, then take two pies to go. They keep in the freezer well, but it's not like the leftovers last more than a few weeks. read more

Best pizza I've had. Crispy and tasty topping combinations! Ate outside on a beautiful day. Prompt and friendly service.

I love their pizza. Prefer thin crust and their pizza fits the bill. Lots of different types or design your own. My favorite is Arvor, which is prosciutto, pineapple, sun-dried tomato, onion & basil. read more

My wife and I had lunch here today. I ordered the Chicken Parm Sandwich and she ordered the Meatball Sandwich. We each split and shared our sandwiches and found both to be excellent. The sandwiches were served with fresh, thin-cut French fries which we both enjoyed. I observed Pizza being served at other tables which looked delicious. I will try one on our next visit. Server was friendly and attentive. We live in the Cape Charles Area and have visited most of the local restaurants. This was our first visit here but be assured we will return. Both of us felt that this was some of the best food we have eaten locally. Thus, the five star rating. read more

I appreciated that they were able to accommodate a picky eater in my party, who recently developed an olive allergy.

I don't particularly prefer pizza. That's right. I said it. I'm not easily enticed by pizza. Actually, I don't even really care for pizza as a general rule however that doesn't mean I hate pizza. I'm ambivalent to pizza. Which is why I was so surprised by some of the ratings of this place. So, first, we went to the other restaurant owned by the same owner. 2 hr wait. We weren't going to make it that long. We knew we would turn into the older guy ahead of us who pitched a hungry infantile fit of frustration with the hostess, if we waited that long to eat. We recognize our limitations. DeadRise was busy yet they seated us almost immediately. Service was good. Cocktails were good. Lavenders Bees Knees was refreshing and tasty. A perfect summer lemonade type cocktail. The Dr Rum Punch was a bit too artificial coconut taste for me but my husband enjoyed it. We got a margherita pizza. Wow! Thinner crispy yet perfectly chewy crust. The toppings were delicious. 100% recommend this pizza and I'm not a pizza lover by any means. I'm already craving this pizza the next day! We also ordered chicken Parmesan which was slightly under seasoned. But very decent. Rather expensive meal for 2 cocktails, a beer, a pizza and an entree. $75 plus tip. Not an every day meal for the cost. We would go back. read more

Ordered a take out pizza around 7 on a Thursday night, wait time was about 25 minutes. You can hang out at the bar, wait outside or walk around while waiting. We decided to walk down the street since the heat had died down a little. They take your number and say they're going to text you when your food is ready, we never received a text but when we walked back our pizza was ready. The sauce was delicious and overall the pizza was really great. We noticed right outside they had basil, tomatoes and some chili peppers growing!! How cute read more

Solid pizza spot out near the water. The atmosphere is good and there are really affordable drinks. The pizza was pretty good, and I would love to be able to stop in and sample a few more. There was a good selection of pizzas for every taste, from classic and cheese to more adventurous offerings. THe rest of the menu was smaller, but still some solid options. The fried mozzarella was good, but something about the marinara sauce it was served with was just not our cup of tea. Overall I'd love to go back and sample some more! read more
