We stopped in after seeing the restaurant featured on the news, and overall, it was a nice experience. The wings were outstanding--flavorful and perfectly cooked. The steak and cheese egg rolls were also tasty, though a dipping sauce would have made them even better. I'm a French fry person, and I have to say, these fries did not disappoint--they were delicious. The pizza had a great flavor, though I personally would have preferred the dough to be a bit more crisp on the bottom. One challenge we had was the location of our table near the restroom. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable odor while dining, which caused us to move seats. On a cooler day, sitting outside would have been a great option. Service-wise, our waitress was very kind and attentive, but she was the only one working the entire floor. This understandably slowed down the pace of food coming out, but she handled it with professionalism. All in all, the food was enjoyable, and with just a few adjustments--like crispier pizza dough, a dipping sauce for the egg rolls, and perhaps better airflow near the restroom--the dining experience would be even better. I look forward to returning when the weather is cooler and hopefully enjoying another round of those wings and fries! read more

I stopped by late night after Dominion Riverrock in May with a small group as it was one of the only local places open and still serving food. The vibe inside was chill with loud music. We opted to sit outside since it was a nice night. For my food order, I requested the club sandwich, no tomatoes, in a to-go box. When it arrived, it was a club sandwich, with tons of tomatoes, in a regular dine-in platter. I asked for the to-go box again and then plucked the tomatoes out, so it wasn't the end of the world, I just really dislike raw tomatoes. The sandwich itself was pretty good. My friends loved the pizza they ordered. read more

Made a big mistake by ordering what they say is the "best pizza" in town? WTF. Pizza dough was still dough and not baked properly. The ingredients tasted like they were a week old And they use the cheapest toppings they can find to make you think they are making you a pizza, then want to charge you over $25.00 for it. I wouldn't eat at this place if someone one paid me. read more

Always welcoming when you come in. It does a take a little bit to get your food when it's busy, but the fried treats are worth the wait. (Make sure you got that hour lunch break). I noticed a smell when I came in that smells like the grease trap or something that needs to be changed but I could look past it for those eggrolls. Nice little bar, gave me a birthday shot around noon and I was set! Good place to go don't pass it up. Great for hangovers or just hangout food. The hot honey chicken sandwich is my fav I recommend it to everyone! read more

We ate there 9/23/2023. We had the steak and cheese egg rolls as an appetizer. The dough was crispy, light, and airy. The meat was tender. The dipping sauce was outstanding! It seemed to have a sweet,Thai chili profile. I had the big daddy pizza, 12". I did add the hot, honey drizzle over my pizza but there wasn't enough of it. The toppings were tasty. I don't expect a homemade crust from a non-pizzaeria type restaurant and this wasn't. My wife had a cheese burger. It was decent, not the best burger she ever had but not the worst. My daughter also had a pizza. Our server was polite, attentive. Overall I'd say decent food for a sports bar. read more

Great food and drink specials! We went on a Sunday night, the vibe was super chill. We hung out on the back patio, you just have to order your food and drinks inside and they'll bring out to you! I highly suggest going here on a Sunday night, the bartenders are super cool and attentive! I had a lot of fun! Oh and pleeeeeasse try the wings!! read more

I wanted to like this joint more than I did. Stopped by to pick up lunch for a couple of co-workers. Ordered a pizza and a salad, to-go. It took 50 minutes for the order to be ready! Now, that's not awful-awful when they're busy, but there were only about 3 tables with diners in the whole place. Waiting was uncomfortable because there are 11 (!) TVs going, plus music blaring from the sound system, causing the handful of patrons to have to shout over the background noise to converse. Prices were right. Staff was super friendly and helpful. (Hi, Chris!) Place was clean. The pizza was very good, but the salad had many, many inedible wilted pieces of "lettuce" (I hope?). If we'd dined in we would have sent it back, but it had been brought to the office and wasn't worth the hassle to deal with an exchange. On the positive side, this place has a great "neighborhood dive bar" vibe going for it, and I can understand why locals in the area might make this their regular hangout. But my experience grabbing a couple of to-go orders wasn't pleasant. read more

Nondescript neighborhood pizza spot that's a sports bar in the heart of Manchester, but this is some banging pizza! I tried the Hawaiian, veggie and white, and they were all amazing. Oddly enough, the veggie may have been my favorite, and I'm not a vegetarian. Service was friendly and timely. Rear patio is not particularly beautiful, but is good for lounging when the weather is right. You will not be disappointed with the pizza! Good selection of beer, too. read more

Pizza was decently good, but manager chased and killed a roach directly under our table, some comp would have been nice for that experience

So the boss was in the office and decided to treat the team to lunch! She opted to ordernpizzas from this spot. Now I've dined in the past here and the food was amazing. But that was years ago so I was sorted geeked to try it out as I've heard good reviews recently. She ordered a medium cheese, meat lovers and a veggie. Took about 30 mins and they were ready. Disappointed to say the least. I didn't get photos of the other pies but I did manage to snap a shot of the slices of veggie that I had. The dough was undercooked and with the loads of toppings I had to use a fork and knife to eat it. I'm all for toppings but I'd also prefer to lift the slice to eat it. It was gooey but not in a cheesy way. The cheese and meat lover were way overcooked. We all took the L for lunch literally. I'll pass on future dining experiences here. #lunchwontlunchin read more

Since moving to the Manchester area, eating at this pizza Grill has been a once a week thing. My favorite meal to order here is the big daddy pizza. The price is an expensive and they give out goo size portions. I also had the nachos and the fried potato skins. This place definitely has some of the best bar food in the Richmond area. It's a cozy intimate space where you can meet up with friends have a few drinks, eat, Listen to music and watch sports. The bartenders are also very friendly every time I go in. read more

Cool vibe here and great food and drinks! Service was fast and friendly. We just got fries and macaroni bites but they were very good. The macaroni bites especially were amazing, good breading, didn't fall apart, and very gooey thick cheese and noodles inside. Green alien piss was the drink I got, pretty solid all around. Good balance of sweet and sour. Overall great experience. read more

Came in here on a Saturday night with some friends. There are tons of TVs everywhere, so it's a great spot to come watch the game. The service was great. Our waitress was very patient and nice. We started off with some drinks at first, and then ordered food about an hour later. Food: Mozzarella sticks: so so good! Deluxe pizza: I personally would wish the veggies were cooked through more, but regardless, it was very good. Hot dogs: apparently you can get pretty much any toppings you want on them. Pitchers of beer: a pretty good deal Will definitely be back! read more

Ironclad Pizza Grill - Deluxe pizza - Pizza Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We had just finished walking around Belle Isle, and were looking for somewhere close by to eat and found Ironclad Pizza Grill, and it was better than expected. I hate to judge a place quickly when walking in, but they had a crazy night the prior night. The manager was telling us how busy it was and he waited until the morning to clean up, which was fine. It was just dirty and disorganized when we first came in, but they had everything cleaned up by the time we were leaving. Anyways, we ended up getting fried pickles for an appetizer, and they were good. They were really battered which was amazing because too lightly battered fried pickles are the worst. I got a calzone with bacon, meatballs, green peppers, jalapeños, and mushrooms and maaaaaaaaaan it was amazing. AND massive, like it was enough to feed three, and that isn't an exaggeration. It was only $13, too. It was amazing, cooked so perfectly and packed full of great ingredients. I'd highly recommend getting a calzone if you go. Also, my mom got a pizza and it looked amazing, but I was too full to try. Overall, it was a pretty good time at Ironclad, I'd recommend it for lunch or dinner, it definitely seems like a good place to watch some games as well. read more

Not busy at all on a Saturday lunch. Service was excellent. Our server was super friendly and checked up us often. This place is very casual basically a sports bar. Only street parking though. We got the tots, calamari basket, and three 16" pizzas between 6 people, and it was PLENTY. We had leftovers of course. But it only came out to be about $16 per person. Great deal! The tots and calamari were delicious and crispy. Didn't enjoy the Chesapeake Bay/crab one as much since it was a little dry. Needed some more sauce or aioli. The White Pizza and the Deluxe were really good tho. The pizzas were really filling like 2-3 slices is enough. read more

Just moved to the Manchester hood a few weeks ago; Ironclad is a block from my apt and I was hoping it may be a go-to. It will be, when I'm tired and there's nothing in the fridge. But this is just basic pizza. I think the four star ratings are a reflection of the nearby loft denizens' need for a local place to hang, and post-Covid, this would be a fun neighborhood joint with its outdoor patio and dive bar vibe. But good crust is so essential to good pizza. And floppy, soggy crust that sags at the tip even when folded - no. Sorry. If this crust is handmade then there's something wrong with the ingredients...or it just hasn't been spun enough. Chewy and doughy. The sauce was decent, and to be fair, it reheated well, I think I enjoyed it more out of the microwave the next day. So treat it for what it is, a friendly neighborhood joint that serves perfectly adequate food and drink when you don't have the energy or time to venture outta the hood. In other words, I'll be back. read more

I had the club sandwich with a house salad, The sandwich was excellent and more than enough for a meal, I had to get a go box. The salad was fresh, no wilty lettuce here, yes, I ate the whole thing first.. This is very much of a neighborhood place as there are several apartments nearby. A decent menu with the usual suspects. I think what makes this place unique is the daily lunch pizza buffet and the extended happy hour. I might be exaggerating but then again maybe not, They have a helmet from every NFL team & every ACC & SEC team Nice rear deck with outside seating and a front patio as well. read more

My work team ate there for lunch today...9 people, the food was AMAZING! the server was very attentive and friendly! Everyone who ordered food l9ved it too...nice atmosphere and the outdoor space is great...very large. I would definitely recommend eating here read more

What a place. In the word Dive this is a place you need to stop at. This is the most organized chaos establishment. The price is very right. I recommend the personal pizza and wings!!! You get plenty for the money. Good music and outside seating. Take a break out of your day and have lunch or dinner. You can't lose. I wish I can remember the name of the waitress/bartender because she can really run this place and service with a smile. Been there twice and a home run both times. read more

Ironclad Pizza Grill - This is the joint!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My friend is slowly rolling herself out of covid (she's high risk) and introduced this place to me. This is 5 minutes driving time, and an easy 15-20 m walk. The first time I took my 13 year old son. We ordered a cheese pizza with jalapenos and black olives. The crust was a little soggy, not NY style. The bartender had a bit of swag and it was 12 pm. Fair enough. When we first ordered water for my 13 year old and then me a beer, the bartender at 12 pm, told him to go get it at the cooler. I'm like fair enough because I served tables for a long ass time at bars and restaurants and this felt like a dive bar-- cool whatever. Once he saw us ordering multiple things, the bartender ended up bringing him a water in a real glass- cool. The mozzarella sticks (hard to fuck up) were fire. Super good, as was the pizza,even with the slightly soggy crust, with tip we spent $40. My second time there, my friend took me. We sat outside called another friend there and got the vegetarian pizza. It was super good and the crust was PERFECT. The atmosphere is weird though. No one serves you there per se or makes it obvious that anything is ready. Even my first time there, I couldn't tell you if I was supposed to seat myself, I was supposed to serve myself.... what??!!!!! I'm going to tip you!!!! Even if you suck I"m going to tip 20%. My friend doesn't drink that much. We hung out at my house and then went here. It was $6.37 for a rail drink of bourbon and diet you could pick up yourself at the bar on a Friday evening -- (was it Old Crow, Southern Gentleman, Jim Beam -- WTF KNOws? ) and then the tab was fucked up. I told the bartender to split the food b/t us but the drinks were mine. I'm going to go back because it''s close and it has SO MUCH potential and the pizza is pretty good. I just wish the bartenders would relax a little because I tip well or/and am a repeat customer-- or not. Maybe this is the vibe there and that's cool too. Maybe some signage would help? The only signage I saw was not to smoke weed on the patio. Also, I wish my drinks there costs less than $7 because I think that's alot.when I could come often and tip well. Make them $5. We've been making them at our house for the last 1.5 years for $1. Thanks in advance for reading this LONG ASS REVIEW read more

Came here on a Thursday night to watch a Caps game. It's a nice place. The pizza is great and drink prices are cheap. The only issue was the service. I think there was only one employee working. It took about 15 minutes to get a drink. And it took a while to cash out. read more

Genuinely appalled by what happened last night they handed me a receipt for nine dollars then charge me 15 after I put money in the jar. very disappointed I will be coming back because I do appreciate great food, quality drinks, and a fair price when charged correctly. I have come in six times before in the last two months and always leave cash tip so I'm shocked that there's just randomly six dollars added to the bill read more

Are you looking for a loud sports bar with typical bar food and domestic beers? If yes, ignore the rest of this and head on over as you will be right at home. I came over to try the calzone and did not expect it to be as loud as it was during Sunday Night football. I didn't remember football was even a thing till I walked in. It took a minute to get service as the bartender was very busy but we eventually got a couple beers and ordered. I got a medium calzone for $10.99 filled with 5 toppings and this sucker was a full foot long. Like what? How big is the large!? It was fine. Better than delivery and better than a lot of bar food. Husband got the chicken fingers and thought it was pretty typical. If you are looking for a quick beer and bite at the bar this is for you, crazy sized portions. read more

One of my favorite pizzas in the city! I usually just order take out but a few of my friends sat down the eat the other day. They had multiple football games on the many TVs. The mirror inforont of me let me watch 4 different NFL games while I ate. The pizza was so cheesy as always and the crust is always soft! I had a special pizza, half beef pineapple, onion (not my side) and half veggie. There was a great playlist and at one point the entire resturant was singing christmas songs and Tevin Campbell! It was a great time and my group may have found a new hang out spot! read more

Always good food and a great energy in the place. Staff are great and always friendly! Love that it's local and quick!

Was starving on my way from Petersburg to Richmond. Needed something quick and since almost all of my favorite restaurants are closed in rva my options were limited. A friend of mine told me about this place because it is directly across the street from her apartment and open late. Took a look at their menu and saw wings and a salad so I got that. When I got there it took a good few minutes of me standing at the bar to get recognized. The wings were so so. Too much breading for me. The flavor was there, but for them to be "hot" they didn't taste like it. This is one of those drunk late night places read more

This is a great little neighborhood bar that serves great pizza and even better breadsticks. It definitely has a bit of a "Cheers" vibe going on to the extent that the majority of patrons seem to be regulars that are local to the neighborhood. With that said, I've never felt unwelcome here, even when we were new to the area. Back to the breadsticks...I grew up in Indiana where breadsticks are serious business. In fact, no one ever ordered pizza without also ordering breadsticks. This was a way of life that I didn't realize was a regional phenomenon until I moved away from the midwest and discovered how difficult it is to find any pizza places that serve breadsticks. And no, garlic knots are not an acceptable substitution. I finally accepted that I would likely never be able to order cheese sauce at a pizza place outside of my home state, but I couldn't give up my quest for breadsticks so easily. When the husband and I saw that Ironclad had them on the menu, we had to investigate. As a breadstick connoisseur, I can tell you that these breadsticks are some of the best I've ever had. They aren't the traditional breadsticks that I'm used to -- more of a cross between the kind of fried dough you'd find at a fair ground and normal breadsticks -- and I am 100% here for it. Keep doing you, Ironclad. It's delicious. read more

We are visiting Virginia from California and wanted to find a good pizza spot. The reviews for Ironclad were excellent, so we gave it a try. Their pizza is outstanding, the crust being one of the best I've ever had. Our server was extremely nice and helpful, making our experience that much better. Ironclad Pizza, you definitely know what you're doing! Thanks! read more

It's a bar. They take no pride in their food the pizza changes every week depending on what cheaper ingredients are available. 0 out of 10. This is a bar fronting as a pizza place. read more

Unreal, I just had a GrubHub order from here cancelled with no explanation. Then I tried calling to see if I simply needed to edit the order, considering maybe they were just out of an item, and I was put on hold for 10 min and all I could get was music blaring in the background. Clearly forgot I was even on the phone. Unbelievable. read more

Pizza is delicious, staff is always friendly and inviting. I haven't tried anything else on the menu but was told some of the other food on the menus wasn't that good. I did try a cupcake and it was two pieces of hair on it. I would definitely recommend this place for pizza, hands down! Manchester needed a good pizza place :). Update: I'm really starting to second guess this place now thats it's been open for awhile. They close early on random days like today with no notice and sometimes the pizza taste different since the sauce is made daily (forgetting ingredients on occasion). Most things are over priced like$8 personal pan when dominos as $7 large pizzas that deliver to Manchester and $7 mozz sticks when papas pizza & piccolas has better and cheaper and also deliver to Manchester. Not worth my money any longer... read more

Ironclad Pizza Grill - Pepperoni & extra cheese please... personal size - Pizza Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place is a bit of a not-so-hidden "gem". I'll start by saying that it's a bit of a dive, in the best way possible! So if you're looking for a nicer, sit-down style pizzeria, maybe try someplace else. However, if you want the best pizza and best service in Richmond then go here. For real, this is the spot. No pizza is "bad", but Richmond has a lack of good pizza. I don't think locals realize what they're missing because they've gotten used to it. This place knows how to cook a pie! The bartenders/servers are the best in town too. Add on the fact the the beer prices are great and you've got a killer place! Also....the breadsticks. An almost non-existent art on the east coast. These things are phenomenal. I wish they had more dipping sauce options, but these things are amazing even plain. Do yourself a favor and get the breadsticks. Do it! Now! read more

I'm really happy to have this place walking distance from home! There's nothing fancy about it, but the food is actually pretty good plus they have my favorite beer (COTU Pocahoptus) so I'm sold. Their buffalo chicken wrap is really solid. I also love the personal sized pizzas- for 6 or 7 bucks, you get a solid meal. Pizza crust is nice and thick and pizza is not overly greasy. Only issue is that it gets fairly busy at night and there's generally only one person manning the bar, inside and outside dining areas. That being said, when service has been slow they seem to give me some sort of deal (not charge me for beer, etc). So I'll keep coming back! read more

A great local spot- Ironclad has personality and spirit. It gets very busy but the staff is attentive and they will remember you if you are a regular. Don't come here if you are looking for amazing food and prompt service- but if you're looking for a dive-y hangout with cheap drinks and yummy burgers, try Ironclad!
