We were here from out of town for a soccer tournament and stopped in on a whim as I wanted something sweet. The owner was so lovely and said they'd been in biz for 10 years and I can see why. We bought 2 sugar cookies and my 11 yo (an expert in sugar cookies) said it was a 6 out of 5 - best sugar cookie ever! The other one we bought bc it looked like my husband who was not with us. We also got a pb cookie and brownie and though I bought those for the rest of our family who are not traveling with us they may not make it home. Now I'm hoping they are open again tomorrow.

A friend and I stopped in today to have some sweet treats and wow we were both amazed with this place. Not only does it offer amazing and delicious baked goods, but it also has hot food, alcoholic beverages, along with a lot of cute items for sale. It was painful to stand in line to place my order because once I thought I had figured out what I wanted, I saw something else that looked equally delicious. I ended up with a slice of salted chocolate caramel cake, which came with extra salted caramel, and it was delicious! I couldn't eat it all so it was nice to have the rest of the piece later at home. My friend got one of the Shindigz cookies and raved about it. She said it was one of the best cookies she's ever had. They have indoor and outdoor seating and as today was a nice day, we sat outside in a little garden area that had fountains and was very nice.

Or, you can skip right to the dessert options! I have yet to have a bad dessert here, but favorite include their Oreo mocha pie, any version of Oreo cake, cannoli, and their homemade Oreos. Service is always warm and friendly, and there are lots of tables to sit inside or outside in their garden area! A Richmond staple and for good reason!

This review is about their new restaurant in Mechanicsville VA. It is a strange situation to order desserts first but the ones offered at Pepicelli's were too good to wait....and the funnel cake sticks and cinnamon rols were delightful...there was a fight over who got the last sticks. My wife had spaghetti with meat balls and put it through a tough test...how does it taste cold...the spaghetti passed with flying colors. My son and I had subs, he raved about the meatball sub (and he's not a meatball fan) Italian was amazing, four types of meat including a spicy capicola one of the best I have eaten in my home state (PA.) and my adopted state (VA.)! In a nutshell if you haven't gone.....what the heck are you waiting for? read more

We had been driving for several hourson our way back to NJ and were too tired to go out to eat. We ordered food for delivery to the Hampton Inn and crossed our fingers that it would be good. Wow - what a great surprise - the food was awesome! Our chicken sub was great, the apple dessert pizza was great, but the star of the meal was the twisty bread - incredible! The nice Jersey guy that took the order was fun to deal with even though he wouldn't give me the secret recipe for the bread!! Just wish they could deliver to New Jersey!! read more

Look at how the lovely management talks to their customers. Don't make a complaint about the food tasting different or it not being what you paid for. Don't use the coupons they send out either! Makes them think they can short what you purchase. Don't be a former employee & purchase food either, they think they don't have to make your food correctly or can speak to you like this! read more

I found this pizza on their menu and clicked on it, it was called their "combo pizza"... a few minutes after I placed the order I got a call from them saying they had several combo pizzas and asked which combo l ordered. I told them the ingredients, reading it right from their web page. "Oh, that's our "specialty pizza"... just seems very weird that they created their menu and don't know what their online menu calls their pizzas.

Healthy portions so much so we had lunch! They are closed on Tuesday but if in the area tell Johanna I sent you!

Hands Down the Best Pizza I've Had in RVA!…read more First time at Zorch Pizza, and I can already tell you it definitely won't be my last! From the moment we walked in, this place was a total win. First, I have to give a HUGE shoutout to our waitress. She was honestly one of the kindest, most attentive, and genuinely accommodating servers I've had in a long time. She deserves 5 stars all by herself! Her service made an already great experience even better. The atmosphere is awesome too. It has that perfect laid-back pub feel, with some throwback arcade machines that add a really fun nostalgic touch. It's the kind of place where you can grab great food, have a drink, hang out, and actually enjoy yourself. We started with the Old Bay wings, and WOW. They were cooked perfectly -- crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned really well. If you're an Old Bay fan, these are definitely worth ordering. We also grabbed the mozzarella sticks, and they did not disappoint. Great flavor, perfectly cooked, and that cheese pull was EVERYTHING. Try it with vodka sauce, another amazing touch! Then came the pizza. We ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza, and it was phenomenal. Crispy crust, tons of cheese, loads of pepperoni, and some seriously amazing sausage. I believe the sausage is local, and if it is, they absolutely made the right choice because it was delicious. But then came the Brooselsprout pizza... and THIS was the surprise of the night. One of the most unique and delicious pizzas I've ever eaten. Everything about it worked. The flavors came together perfectly, and I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as incredible as it was. It was absolutely on point. I've eaten a LOT of pizza around RVA, and I can honestly say Zorch is now at the top of my list. Great food Great atmosphere Great service Awesome arcade games Creative pizzas And a staff that genuinely cares about your experience This place is a WIN-WIN. It may have been my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. If you haven't tried Zorch Pizza yet, what are you waiting for?! GO ASAP! 5 stars all day long.
