    The Emmy Pizza
    John B.

    This is a strip mall location that isn't among Charlottesville's most charming, though the interior is fine enough. I stopped in seeking a seasonal special with pesto and banana peppers. If I'm being honest, it wasn't the best pizza I've had in various visits to different Emmy Squared locations; the onions tasted a little bit off and the sauce was too tangy for a pizza for me. The crust was as crisp as you'd hope for this style of pizza, and Detroit-style pizza is likely new to the Charlottesville area and it is a pleasure that I recommend trying. I also got a brussels sprout salad, and while you don't always go to pizza places for the salads, the combination of flavors in this one is fantastic. Takeout was a straightforward experience. This is not a place that has a lot to offer for people who don't do dairy.

    Big Hawaiian Pizza
    Emma E.

    I liked Emmy squared a lot and I'd be back in. The ambiance is business casual. It's not a true casual place because they are a bit more dressed up with table settings. Servers will offer still and sparkling water. So it's appropriate for a business lunch but still is family friendly. Just not as casual as Christian's, five guys or other true casual places in cville. Service was awesome. Our server was brand new but was polite fast and super friendly. The staff he leaned on for support were also really nice. All the food was awesome. Hawaiian pizza was our fav. Our burger fanatic friends rated their burger a 7-8/10. Their fav in cville for reference is riverside or jack browns. They said this burger is more expensive and doesn't come with sides, hence the knock down, but taste wise it's great. They did say it's super greasy so we ready for it to be a bit messy. The apps are all awesome, mozz sticks were fantastic. Waffle fries with cheese were so good. 2 entrees and an app came out to $50, drinks and other things are more expensive so expect to pay about $30pp. Overall, the food is good and I'd be back.

    The pizza has a perfectly cooked crust that is crispy but not hard, the sauce has great flavor, and the different topping and sauce options make for a lot of customizable flavors. The service is quick and attentive. Pepperoni or sausage makes the pizza greasier than I would prefer, but the same is true anywhere, and the other topping options do not make it too greasy.

    Deluxe Pizza XL

    SERVICE We walked in on a late evening and while the mall plaza was busy we were able to park outside. Walked in and were quickly seated at a table indoors. We did not choose the patio. Our server came by with drinks and offered us a chance to ask questions. We weren't super hungry so decided to order a XL size or the 10 slice version of the Deluxe. Our waters were delivered but needs some extra prodding to be refilled. FOOD After 15-20 minutes, our pizza was delivered and placed on a rack. This spot supposedly delivers a delicious Detroit-style thick crust but also the foldable Brooklyn pizza mix, served in a stylish, comfortable setting. It definitely had generous toppings with spicy sausage, fresh peppers, and mushrooms and the expected Midwestern cheese type. The pizza was not as doughy or structurally sound as Detroit style pizza...and definitely needed a fork and knife to eat...but still delicious. It is light on the tomato sauce which some may not like as much. AMBIANCE It's definitely a space that is super casual and modern with a bar kind of inviting vibe. Large windows and communal tables makes for a friendly atmosphere, perfect for groups or solo diners or takeout orders.

    Tried the DC locations a few years ago and was curious when this opened up in charlottesville. I thought the vibe was more casual in DC but they seemed to try for a fine dining experience here? The waiter offered us still or sparkling and we thought that was our only option for water (instead of just mentioning tap) so we paid extra for the saratoga water bottles unfortunately. Margharita pizza was lacking and felt like it needed more sauce. Overall impression was that they need to figure out what theyre going for!

    Amazing, 10/10 no notes. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good pizza. We went back in like early February for lunch and it was just us & four other tables. Ambiance was immaculate and our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, had some great recommendations! Left beyond stuffed and quite pleased with the entire experience.

    Good Paulie Pizza
    Amani A.

    The pizza itself was absolutely delicious! We went earlier in the evening for happy hour, and while the food was great, the experience was a little off. When I asked about the happy hour deals advertised on a sign outside, our waitress seemed unsure about them and gave us incorrect prices, which we later realized didn't match what was listed. Because of that, I ended up skipping a cocktail, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the decor was stunning--lots of natural light and a really inviting atmosphere. I also appreciated the variety on the menu. I highly recommend the Good Paulie and the vodka pizza--both were amazing, and I loved the Detroit-style crust. Overall, fantastic pizza, but the service could use a little more attention to detail, especially during happy hour. Would definitely come back, just with clearer expectations!

    Cheesy Garlic Sticks
    Stephanie J.

    Meatsiah- perfect for a meat lover Big Hawaiian- for the lover of pineapple (like myself) on pizza. Enjoyed the thick cut pepperoni, fresh cooked bacon, and generous amount of pineapple MVP- Each bite is a flavor explosion in your mouth. So much going on, all at once, from the texture, to the flavor, to the sesame seed crispy crust, to the gooey cheese, to the combination of vodka sauce, red sauce, and parsley pesto. Definitely an unforgettable pie Pineapple chili glazed crunchers- perfectly fried and seasoned well. I would choose this flavor over the sriracha crystal glaze. Sriracha Crystal Glazed wings- I wasn't a fan, the wings lacked seasoning Waffle fries- fried hard but well seasoned Chopped cheese burger- it didn't really stand out to me and I believe it was missing ketchup but I enjoyed the pretzel bun Cheesy garlic bread- seasoned well and soft, but greasy I plan on returning to try Le Big Matt & other pizzas. The MVP is gold

    Solid choice for Detroit style pizza. Some of the pies are less traditional, but always a good eat. Friendly servers and delicious food. What else do you need?

We strolled in, gave our name for reservation, and were swiftly seated in the back of the restaurant behind the bar area. It was a comfortable setting for dinner with most of the dining room in a pleasantly quiet a bit dark in a warm way but good enough for conversation and relaxing atmosphere for chilling out. FOOD We started with the housemade rosemary focaccia bruschetta ($14), and were recommended to order two servings for our table of four... so we did. About 10 minutes later, the appetizer arrived and the focaccia was a nice way to begin the meal, and was surpised it wasn't pre-cut but it was fine to cut it at the table with the cheese and share...it tasted good but was not especially remarkable for what you'd expect (forgot to take a photo) For our entrées, we ordered the grilled branzino ($39)...a bit overly oily for me, the fish of the night ($39), coastal tagliatelle ($28), and spaghetti pomodoro ($23). The dishes were solid portion and generally enjoyable. I suppose I expected more of a WOW that I didn't get from the menu options or the service...probably didn't help we were seated next to a large and very loud group in the back. Overall, the food was fine and satisfying, though nothing stood out enough to make the meal especially memorable. We skipped dessert. SERVICE Service was acceptable and kept the meal moving, but it did not add much to the overall experience... Overall, this was an okay Italian spot with a comfortable ambiance and a solid selection of dishes, but it did not quite deliver the exceptional food or memorable experience expected from a well-raved restaurant that others had hyped up. I personally wouldn't visit this spot again in the area for Italian food, knowing that there are spots nearby with warmer service and more interesting menu options....so this rating is relative to those spots.
