We made the hour drive to check out Dr Ho's Humble Pie. It's been around nearly 30 years, but this was our first time. The hype is not over stated. First things first. This place is popular and there will be a wait, so plan accordingly. It's not terribly large but has a friendly family vibe. They turn the tables as fast as possible, but the wait is worth it. Next the food. We ordered a special combo which gave us the cheese bread (Fat & Sassy), any large salad on the menu, and any pizza for $50. It was about a $6 savings. It was more than enough for two. We took home most of the bread and the pizza. The Delmarva Shrimp Cobb was fantastic, especially with the lemon vinaigrette. The Little Mermaid Pizza was truly unique. Shrimp, roasted tomatoes, pesto, cheddar, Feta, and Mozz on their delicious thin crust. It was definitely a fork and knife pizza. As we watched around us, everything that came out of the kitchen looked great. Wings, mozzarella sticks, soups, Chinese inspired bowls. It's a varied menu and every plate around us was cleans or boxed to take home. Bonus. All the servers have been with the company for 10 years or more which says a lot about this organization and its management/ownership. Definitely plan a trip. read more

Four of us grabbed dinner at Dr Ho's Humble Pie this past Friday after we got situated at our weekend getaway in the area. We weren't sure what this restaurant would be like, since we drove through a dark and narrow road to get there. Much to our surprise, this was a full sit-down experience, and we had to wait 30-40 minutes to be seated. We decided to share the TRIPLE THREAT COMBO! (49.99) which comes with cheesy garlic bread (their signature!), one large salad, and one large specialty pizza. This was a lot of food, and we had enough leftovers to feed another mouth and half. THE FAT AND SASSY Their menu claims that this is the "best garlic cheese bread ever". And indeed it was because I wolfed down seven pieces of that bread within 15 minutes. I love that this was practically a pizza -- round pizza dough topped generously with cheddar and whole cloves of roasted garlic. The cheesy grease and pungent aromatic flavors exploded in my mouth. After seven pieces, I knew I had to stop because there was other food to come. CAESAR SALAD This was a typical Caesar salad with above average Caesar dressing, but there was just way too much of it mixed in. Besides that, pretty solid! I would ask for the dressing on the side in the future. THE HEAVY HAND This is Dr Ho's version of the Meat Lovers pizza, which was topped generously with sopressata, capicola, Italian sausage, and other ingredients like shaved onions, mushroom, and variety of cheeses. We got this one because we wanted more protein, but unfortunately, with the amount of cured meat that was slathered on, it was overbearingly salty. After my first slice of pizza, I started taking meat off my slice because it was too much. Overall, 3.5/5, but bumping to a 4/5 because we were pretty sure we would have had a better experience if we chose a different pizza. Still, I'm happy we got to try a restaurant in the Charlottesville area that is popular and well-loved by locals. Also, fantastic pricing with honestly the best cheesy garlic bread I've ever had. I would recommend getting here ASAP especially during the weekends because they don't take reservations or call ahead orders for dine in. read more

Dr Hos Humble Pie was one of the best things my husband and I ate during a weekend getaway in the Charlottesville area. We tried the sweet corn and bacon pizza and both loved it! We ended the night with the hot milk cake, and vanilla ice cream which was also delicious. Service was great and the food came out quickly considering the restaurant was packed. We can't wait to come back and try the breadsticks! read more

Some of the best pizza! Don't let it being attached to a gas station fool you! Great service, unique pies and their subs were great as well. We showed up 20 minutes before close on a weekday, but were never rushed to order or eat. A hidden gem if you're heading down route 29! read more

Very good food for a good price. Service is good also, large portions. Must try place in Charlottesville!!

The food was delicious! However.... We sat at the bar for dinner and were totally ignored. Jim's friends were there, so he completely ignored us. He was downright rude. So, if you go, don't sit at the bar. read more

Dr. Ho's Humble Pie came highly recommended to me. They had recommended the pizzas. They said pizzas are great. I went to place an order to go. A 14 inch pizza, 22.99, too much for my pocket. So I ordered the roast beef sandwich and a dessert. I wasn't impressed by neither, but I chalked it up, as maybe I should've waited to get a small pizza at another time. This was my only meal for the day. In my sleep, I woke up to a horrible stomach ache. It ended up being two hours of me in the bathroom getting sick. I don't think I'll be trying the pizza after all! read more

This place is amazing. We've been here seven or eight times so far and love it every time. However, if there is a long wait, it is worth it, but I can understand if you have to go. read more

I can't believe I've never reviewed Dr Ho's before! Some of the best pizza ANYWHERE and located in gas station, rural shopping strip. HAHAH! Low key atmosphere with a great assortment of local brews and wine. The food is all outstanding but as I mentioned above, the PIZZA IS AWESOME! Service is alway a joy - Really nice people. read more

We had another enjoyable dinner here! The service was fast and friendly even though it was a busy night! Our food was delivered fast and hot! And so delicious! We ate our fabulous pizza and then took home a quart of the best ranch dressing! It makes an ordinary salad into something you look forward to having! read more

Amazing pizza, amazing staff, and the restaurant had a cool vibe. There's almost always a wait, so be prepared to sit a while. But trust me, it's well worth it. We always stop by here whenever we are in the area. The pizza is next level, probably the best in the Cville area. read more

For what it's worth, I could see why this is a road tripping favorite. Plenty of seats, nice ambiance, friendly service and homemade ice cream! I think after a long day of driving, I'd probably be happy to eat here too. I unfortunately was staying in the area for a few weeks when I went here and I have to say, I was unimpressed. My pizza was soggy, the service was very slow, the order was delivered wrong twice (the second time we didn't mention it, because it took so long for them to fix the first mistake). By the time my pizza came, I was really hungry, but I think they rushed the bake because as i said, it was very soggy and sloppy and just fell apart in my hand. There were also, weirdly, a ton of flies in the place. They kept trying to land on the food. So overall, not a spot I'd come back to. My search for great food in Charlottesville continues... read more

Good service always and nice people. Food. Pizzas are the best! Great busy atmosphere. Lots of laughter. Nice vibe!

Very good pizza ! I saw the sign and turned hard so I didn't miss it! The small pizza was out in about 10 min. The spinach salad had plenty of flavor and I slight heat to it I think from the blue cheese or balsamic drizzle. The candied pecans were a nice touch. Pizza crust was nice and crunchy and I loved the sauce! Great staff how we're patient with my indecisiveness! read more

Fish and chips on special. Wow! Fluffy white fish - not at all greasy. Amazing how fresh tasting. Great service. Love how close it is. Next few days I'll return to eat their duck confit salad. Also a special. Was there early so not crowded. read more

Delicious pizza and the best ranch dressing! Super cool vibe. Great waitstaff. We built our own pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Had 3-4 pieces left over from 14inch. Just me and my daughter ate so good reference for size to order. We picked up a jar of ranch. They have great deserts and beer and wine to go. read more

Run, don't walk! This place has been in my collection of bookmarks to try. This past weekend I finally got to it. Man, we're we so happy and full leaving. It was so good! You would miss this place if you weren't paying attention. It's part of a gas station and two level office like building on 29 headed into C'ville. The service and food were both outstanding. People were very nice. We were first timers here so we inquired as to what stands out. The meatball sub was exactly what you want. Hand made meatballs. The fries rock. Oh and they serve draft beer and wine. We got two different pizza. Both were excellent. The crust is addictive dipped in their garlic ranch dressing. The sausage has a little kick to it too. We will most definitely go back sometime soon. Great work folks. Keep doing what you are doing. You rock! read more

My go to pizza spot when I'm in this area. Today I'm getting the Don Juan w/ pepperoni added. Haven't decided on my favorite yet. The Popeye is awesome too. I knew this spot was good when my Italian friend came back for seconds then thirds then came back for the rest of the pizza! Trying the eggplant rollatini today too! Will keep you posted... read more

We decided to stop here on our way back home from our day in Charlottesville. It has a very homely feel. Our service was great, as our waitress was very nice and attentive. Someone with me had been here before and raves about the calamari, so we wanted to try. Unfortunately, they switch the menu and didn't have the calamari. The mozzarella sticks were really good, and we also ordered some sort of egg rolls. I wasn't a fan, but i just don't really eat stuff like that. The others in the group really liked them. The pizza is huge, even for the smallest portion. Most people probably wouldn't be able to eat it in one sitting. I took some home and tried to eat it again later and it wasn't that great. read more

THE BEST RANCH IN ALL THE LAND. Great stromboli. Hear me out on this one... try it with pepperoni, jalapenos, and goat cheese. Will change your perspective on life. White pizza good too. read more

Wow, what a great surprise! After a long day of travel we were in the mood for pizza. This was the highest Yelp rated pizza in Charlottesville and I can see why! Our waitress was a nice silver-haired lady, we didn't catch her name but she was the best! We ordered the Italian Stallion pie and it was delivered piping hot in about 15 minutes. Perfectly cooked, perfect amount of toppings, and omg the meatballs-delicious! I'm hoping to get back there before we leave the area. read more

Friends and I from out of town (Alabama) looking for a good lunch spot. Went to Yelp and this joint popped up. An odd building, however do not judge a book by its cover. The smell of cheese garlic bread hit me as soon as we walked in. 4 of us total enjoyed the Triple Threat Combo ($50) : 1 specialty pizza, 1 cheese garlic bread, and a house salad. The garlic cheese bread is delicious I enjoyed the house salad and house dressing (their ranch is also amazing). The speciality pizza we chose was The Big Schloss - spinach, tomatoes, mushroom, sausage, and white sauce . This pizza was okay - it was slightly watery towards the middle of the pie and I did not enjoy the big chunks of tomato. Plenty of food and we took a lot home. HOWEVER - I think if we would've ordered a different speciality this would have easily been a 5 star review for me. Super nice staff and service was quick for Saturday lunch. read more

This quaint and quite busy little unassuming restaurant is a hidden gem .... after visiting a couple wineries in the area you always need something really good to eat and this is the place to do it boys they have a variety of their menu... And I rarely am a pizza girl but I love this pizza... Be patient because you will have to wait to get seated it doesn't matter what time of day. It is so worth the wait three of us shared the pizza , one had the soup of the day (which was French onion)and one got the cheese steak! The service was fast and friendly and it's a lively place to be! Do yourself a favor go to Dr. Ho's Humble Pie! read more

My husband and I both got strombolis and they were excellent. We went on a Saturday evening, and the restaurant was jamming with customers and a constant stream of takeouts. The wait was a bit long, but worth it as the food was so good. read more

An unexpected delight! Several people recommended the pizza so we decided to stop after visiting a winery. The gas station location is a bit of a deterrent, however, this is worth a visit. The service was quick and efficient. In addition to the pizza they are known for their ranch dressing which was really good. A very laid back feel makes this a great stop when visiting Charlottesville. read more

New Yorker brought here by a local and I enjoyed my stay. As a New Yorker, pizza is a somewhat sacred thing and I'm immediately dubious of anything outside my city. That said, we enjoyed Dr. Ho's very much and I expect to return on future visits. We enjoyed the Don Ho, the Italian Stallion, and some dry rub chicken wings. The came came out hot and fresh. The Don Ho, my selection, was pretty cheesy with a nice helping of pineapple. Yes those things balance each other out well. The Italian Stallion was also good. I thought the wings left me wanting a bit more. Overall I got what I expected and enjoyed everything. If I had one criticism, it would be for the crust which tasted like the dollar slice crust back home. The place is warm and inviting, should appeal to everyone -- adults, teens, kids, etc. Service was great, very friendly. Dr. Ho produce better pizza than I was expecting and I'll def be back to try a few more unique pies off their menu. read more

We were greeted and sat quickly by a friendly host and instantly fell in love as we looked around at all of the beautiful pizzas. Our toddler was pretty happy with the food as were we!

Great place for pizza and beer! The atmosphere is fun and laid back! The beer selection is plentiful in its choices as is the pizza options!

Dr. Ho's is an old-school sit-down pizza joint with a lot of options. A favorite past-time among pizza lovers is to debate who is better; Dr. Ho's or Crozet Pizza. I say get them both. I started off with analysis paralysis but once I discovered their Annie Oakly - a mix of jalapeno, spicy buffalo chicken, and pineapple - I was hooked. It was too much for one sitting so I had the rest boxed up to go. I gave this place 5 stars five years ago, and happily do so again. read more
