Our waitress, Jen, gave us exceptional service on Thursday, January 22nd at 4:45 p.m. Jen, you went above and beyond when others might have pointed out the closing time. The Chicken Parmesan and Italian subs were just what we needed. Otis and Cindy Cole Moneta read more

This is the only game in town when it comes to pizza. The pizza was fine, reminiscent of the pizza in your modal public school cafeteria (but prettier), which brought back pleasant memories. The mozzarella sticks, in contrast, were exceptional - excellent crisp on the crust and easily broken in half (thus preempting double-dipping in marinara. Interestingly, the sticks came with tortilla chips for extra dipping, which i thought was a nice (if unusual) touch. Service was nice and vibe was beach mellow. read more

came here for our first night on vacation at SML, and it served its purpose. The salads were nothing to write home about but they got the job done. served with dressing in packets, i did feel like i could've easily made a better salad at home. the pizza looked great but tasted pretty average. very generous with the vegetables which i appreciated and the prices weren't outrageous. the service was lovely, truly no complaints there. if you sit outside, you get a rocking view of the lake and tons of outside happenings. read more

Decent food but charges 75 cents each for ranch cups and other dipping sauces and somehow still forgets to put them in the box

4 stars for customer service 3 stars for food. Stick with the pizza it is good. Solid for Virginia. Great location. Feed the crusts to the fish. read more

This is just a nice little old school Pizza spot along the water. They have some nice outdoor seating if it's not too hot. If your eager to beat the heat the air is cold and they also have beer! The owner is a Steeler fan and that's cool in my book. The pizza was decent fair prices and the service was spectacular. read more

I've eaten here before and from what I remember the food was good, however when I visited last weekend my group of four were seated and we waited for about 20 minutes without being served. Servers walked past us numerous times without a word. I get that they were busy but at least say something."I'm sorry for the wait, we'll be with you as soon as we can" or something to that effect would've been nice. We got up and left and went to Moosies where we were greeted and seated and served immediately. Incidentally we also convinced a family of four to not waste their time and they also ended up going to Moosies. Management​, you need to train your staff better. Two stars because in the past the food was good or I would've only given them one star read more

Haven't been here in many years and after this weekend I remember why, upon entering was told we couldn't sit at the bar cause they already cleaned there, now this was still over an hour before closing time. Asked for a pitcher of beer and rudely told " we don't do pitchers". Beer selection on tap was bleak so sat outside and got canned beers , was also a told couldn't get a glass cause they'd already washed them ?? WTH I understand your desire to get a head start on the closing procedure BUT really?? Pizza was horrible the "crispy" crust not impressive: BOXED RED BARON way better! Only thing that saved this meal was the Jalapeño poppers and the view of the lake. Probably be a few more years before I try this place again read more

Surly staff. Tiny salads cost 5 dollars. Charged for refills. Pizza sucked. Here's another sentence to reach 85 characters. read more

They will scam you!! They charged me three times for the same meal. I called to try and get it fixed and was told they can't handle that the owner would but the owner never comes in so I would have to just keep calling back every few days. read more

My family & I just had lunch here.... I have to say the food was very good, the hubby & I love cauliflower crust & order it every where we go that has it........ it showed on the menu that were $14 each....... Be aware...... they charged us almost $70 for two personal sized cauliflower crust supreme pizzas. We have never paid so much for 2 personal sized pizzas. I felt sure they had made a mistake.. when questioned they said the crust is $14..... they added all that extra money for additional toppings. Thought we had found a new place but .. NO! Never again read more

We love the Pizza Pub and I normally give them 5 star reviews, but our pizza and breadsticks were a little "doughy" this visit. We will still be back because it isn't a trip to SML without a visit to the Pizza Pub! read more

Surprised I have never reviewed this place. It's our favorite pizza place to go at the lake. Great locAtion with water view deck in summer. It gets real crowded in the summer so expect a wait. They are open year round though and have a variety of lunch specials. read more

Great service. Nice location. Cold beer and pizza. Nice access by boat from the marina.

Lol new management is a joke, won't let you take cups to outside seating area. No explanation given. Sad to see how far this place has fallen. read more

The location is great! The employees are kind. The food is not good. I'd compare it to concession stand food. I definitely recommend not getting a sandwich. The pizza is okay but I'd probably choose grocery store oven pizza over it. read more

What we hoped was going to a yummy experience ended up being once of the rudest outings I've ever experienced. We sat at our table for 23 minutes before asking for something to drink only to be denied because the bar tender only delt with the bar. Mind you, he was standing there watching the tv. After we were given our drinks, the owner rudely asked if our children were with us. They had recently walked out to play some games. As if our children were walking out on the tab. The owner/bar tender was one of the rudest men I've ever met. He should not own a business dealing with the general public. read more

Excellent Service by Taylor! Food was good too. We drove around SML for 3 hours looking for this marina and finally found it. Came upon this Pizza Pub and thank God the service was phenomenal. We had a ton of apps, good beer and of course pizza. read more

We really should have read the yelp reviews before we came in here. We won't be coming back. The staff are nice but folks are nice most places. This place has zero atmosphere and it feels dirty like an old bar. The salad I ordered is four half slices of cucumber, some iceberg lettuce and four cherry tomatoes. Give me a break. read more

Pizza Pub - This is a garden salad for $3.79. Not impressed.i should have read the yelp reviews before we came in here. - Pizza Near Me - Moneta, Virginia

We sat outside and a server said if we wanted to order anything to scan the code and she will then bring it and walked away. Ok, frustrating because I didn't have cell service for this and personally prefer to have a drink, who knows maybe an app, and then decide on what to eat. If you want that option you have to make multiple transactions. That's a lot of work and annoying. Also, after ordering I tipped 25% because I appreciate servers and all they do but after I ordered someone else brought my food and I never saw the server again. I had to go in to get my hot sauce then back in for a to-go box. What did I tip for exactly? Y'all owe me a discount for using your online ordering app. PLUS we were the only table there (inside and out) why couldn't you just ask me what I at least wanted to drink before you left me with a scan code. Never again read more

We are regulars and really enjoy the pizza. Yum!! Sometimes there is a wait on the weekends, but it's worth it. The view is lovely! We normally get a cheese pizza and a pepperoni and mushroom and a pitcher of water. We also love driving the boat to go and get dinner. The area also has shops and ice cream and a marina. Lots to do! read more

This restaurant is near the put put golf area. A large soda is $2.07 but they will refill your cup. The pizza is good. I love that all the businesses are near each other. You can grab a bite and hear the band at Mangos. Parking is challenging on the weekend. read more

Came back a year later and is still our favorite pizza joint. Their pesto pizza is really good. They have a new margarita pizza that we are going to try next! read more

It's located on a sweet spot on Smith Mountain Lake, however, the spot is totally tainted by the fact that folks are allowed to smoke outside where children are eating. Totally de-evolved to poison non-smoking families with cancer causing smoke. The pizza was ok and the service was good. The amount of styrofoam waste being generated by this restaurant is appalling. Styrofoam cups and plates for every customer. This couple with the waste being created by the individual plastic salad dressing containers and the non-recyclable disposable silverware is Sooooo gross. Generating this kind of trash when there are so many other eco- friendly options is a shame. My rating of this place would dramatically improve if it got with the times a little more. read more

Great pizza, decent beer selection, and great service. The waitress went above and beyond accommodating a food sensitivity in our party. Reasonably priced and well worth the value. Definitely will be here again! read more

For a pizza place they do not have any fresh made pizzas where you can buy a few slices. Their pizza looks like it came out of a box, the same goes for their French fries and hush puppies. The place looks old and run down. Save your money and goto Mary's pizza. Now that is a real pizza joint! read more

Hardly any seating. They had pizza boxes in the booths. Coulsd eat outside in 85 degree heat -no beer outside makes no sense? But could have sodas? The pizza looked old and was dry. Overpriced! No service outside, Never eat there again! read more

Pizza sucks. I can go to Kroger or Foodlion and get a frozen pizza. I am serious being a certified chef for 30 years I can taste frozen pizza crust. ( premade ). I have been going around the lake tasting pizza the best pizza I have tasted around the Moneta area is Downtown Pizza. I give 5 stars to Downtown Pizza. read more

Friendly waitstaff, fantastic view of the lake. I suggest you sit outside facing the lake. You can rent a boat within same building.

If you are on the lake and need to stop in somewhere, go to Vinny's. It is literally right across the bridge and ten times better. Tuscan Tavern is better as well but a little more pricey (more of a sit down dinner place). I have had not so great experiences at Tuscan Tavern as far as service go, but their food would lead me to choose it over this one. The only reason I think this place sticks around is because people want a quick bite while they are on the lake or after being on the lake all day. Spare yourselves. Packing a lunch is even better than this. I could make better pizza in a heartbeat. So as far as the food goes, I had a personal pizza and a sub and so did my husband. The sauce is probably generic and from a can, and the dough is VERY doughy. Just not for me. Nothing about the pizza was that good, I was underwhelmed and very hungry so that is why I ate it. I am pretty sure everything on that pizza was generic, the price wasn't worth it either. Service was not hard as we were the only ones in there. So I cannot speak much to service and if it is good or bad. I will tell you, if my parents or family were on the lake with us and we wanted to grab a bite for lunch....we would either pack or go over to Vinny's. Then if we wanted dinner, we would probably clean up first and then go to Vinny's, Tuscan Tavern, or Smokehouse Restaurant. None of the places at Bridgewater have impressed me (except I have not been to Chopsticks so I can't speak to that one). read more

Pizza was horrible.. You can't call this place a pizza pub & sale overpriced FROZEN pizza. I've had much better at home. You should think about taking off the menu & changing the name. We also ordered a chef salad which didn't look like any chef salad that I've had. It was a head of iceberg lettuce with a few pieces of ham, a couple of pieces of cucumbers cut in half, two strings of onions and a dab of cheese. That is not a chef salad and we were disappointed to say for $8. Not to mention the $19 frozen pizza that tasted like cardboard. Little Caesars pizza taste better than this crap. Heck Kroger or Food lion pizza taste better than this crap they are trying to pass off as fresh made pizza. Thank goodness im not a food critic read more

Awesome pizza! Had one of THE BEST supreme pizzas I've had in a long time! Plenty of toppings, and all were very tasty, even the onions. Seriously, most of the time, onions are so strong and places put so many, it kills a pizza. I forgot to tell her light onions but was surprised to find them not only not loaded on there, but very tasty. Granted, the crust while good, had to have been frozen - all three of us agreed. That would have earned it a 10/10 in my book, instead of the 8-9 I'll give it. PS - The supreme does come with extra cheese though we said to just do regular, and we really liked it that way. One other thing, we noticed a cheese-only pizza next to us and all agreed that it looked unappealing, just flat and "blah," so toppings are definitely the way to go. Service was superb, and loved the outdoor seating deck seating overlooking the marina, way cool. And the inside had a very cool atmosphere as well, so would be glad to eat in there anytime as well. Signed, Pizza Man (true nickname!) read more

My family went here recently for dinner to celebrate a birthday since we were also visiting the arcade and heading over to play putt putt after our meal. They seemed to be very pleasant and helpful as far as accommodating our group of 6 kids and 7 adults. Our waitress was friendly and updated us regularly about how much longer it would be until our food arrived. Our experience was fine. My problem with this place was when 2 families arrived and were trying to be seated out on the deck. There was an empty table available, but the staff (not the waitress my group had) kept walking by the families and ignoring them every time one of the men tried to get their attention to ask if anyone could clean the table off so they could sit down and order their meal. Guess what? The families were Muslims, the women were wearing hijabs (look up the word if you need to). I finally excused myself from my family dinner, went and asked the men if they were having trouble getting seated. they said yes. I told them that I was going to go inside and see if I could get the situation resolved, they could join me if they wanted to. I go inside and ask the waitress I'd seen earlier working the section where the families were trying to be seated, she gave me a nasty look and in a pretty nasty tone told me "she was busy, she'd get to it eventually". I then asked for her manager, the manager gave me the same nasty, hateful response-they were busy, "those" people would just have to wait. I got the idea at this point-if they didn't clean the table off, they wouldn't have to serve a group of Muslims. I realize it's Franklin County and all, but come on! Two families with toddlers and babies in strollers wanted to have dinner at the lake. Wth kind of establishment are these people running? The two families left rather than get treated like that. I paid my bill and got out of Franklin County right behind them. Never again. read more

We got into town yesterday afternoon and needed a place to eat. I wasn't sure what was in store when we came here. It's a hybrid bar/restaurant and our waitress wasn't very friendly. We ordered mozzarella sticks which weren't very good, but when our pizza came, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was delicious and the dough was awesome. The dough had a pretzel taste. I recommend coming here for good pizza. read more

We arrived to the restaurant at 6:30, it was obvious there was a bit of a wait so we respected that, but I went into the actual building to ask about an estimated wait time. I stood at the counter waiting on someone to greet me or help me and I waited for about 15 minutes to even be noticed. Once I was greeted, I asked how long the wait would be and he said that they weren't giving wait times and it was a "first come, first serve" situation and to wait outside in the line and I would be helped as the line went through. So I returned to my post outside and waited for another 30 minutes, it being about 7:15 at this point. I noticed two families ahead of my group had been seated, so we would be next, and a family from inside had left. A man walked into the building, I had assumed inquire the same I did, but he had been in a while. I walked in as well, noticed the table the previous family had eaten at hadn't been cleaned yet, and I asked if we could seat ourselves since we were next in line. The man who walked in right before me told me he was holding the table and waiting, the waitress who was cleaning the table had known I was waiting this entire time yet didn't object to the man and allowed his family to sit, after having no wait, and I had been waiting for 45 minutes at that point. I returned outside to wait longer, and we didn't get seated until 7:45. Once seated and given a menu, the waitress barely checked on us, forgot we put in orders at all, and we didn't get our food until 8:30, all the while, customers who came in and were seated AFTER us, got their food BEFORE us. Once we finished, we asked for boxes to go and she never brought them, her manager had to finish waiting us out because she hadn't come back for the rest of the evening. We didn't get to pay and get out of the restaurant until 9:30. We had horrible services. Horrible wait times. And very rude staff. read more

The best part about this place is the dining room out on the deck which has a nice view of the lake. The worst part about this however is that it is always packed full of people during tourist season, which is the only time the outside area is open. You can eat inside all year long, but won't have as nice of a view, or a view at all depending on where you're seated. The service can be rather hit or miss. In the summer the waitresses are always swamped, and they have to carry your pizza across a walkway that is open to everyone, as it connects the decks together. It can be a bit crazy. The upside is you can take your kids there and no one is going to glare at you if they're being a bit loud outside. The pizza is good, nothing great, but certainly not bad either. They offer the normal variety of toppings and serve them on silver pedestal stands. If they're super busy expect a bit of a wait for your food though. read more

Over an hour for two pizzas on a Friday night? We had three kids and an infant. The waitress took our order the appitizers: Boardwalk Fries and Malt Vinegar (that never came) arrived about 20 minutes later. Our drinks were only refilled about 50 minutes after they arrived. The pizza's we were told about 45 minutes later were comming, but the kitchen was slow. They arrived an hour after we had ordered them, never saw a manager and honsetly at $5 for a small basket of French Fries and $6 bucks for 6 US Foods Cheesesticks I would rather have just skipped this place altogether read more

Lunch today. We ordered fried mozzarella sticks and a pretzel to start, a personal meat lover's pizza, and I had the Triple Play Italian sub with French fries and sweet tea. The pretzel was lovely, slightly sweet, baked perfectly and the tea was sweetened well and strongly tea-flavored. Husband liked the mozzarella sticks ok. The service was mediocre; our server was nice, but, for example: the drinks were served in styrofoam cups with lids. I placed mine at the edge of our table, where the server had been approaching us, when I needed a refill and she didn't notice so I took off the lid and placed it even closer to the edge for the next time she came by. She still didn't offer a refill so I picked it up and handed it to her and nicely requested a refill. The second time I needed a refill, I left the lid off and she ignored it, my husband got up to ask for his own refill so I sent my cup with him. She brought our food but no ketchup for the fries and didn't offer, I had to ask. My husband's pizza was poor quality, it looked like a frozen pizza, perforated crust underside, flavor was not as good as a bake at home pizza. My sub was ok, bread was wonderful, cold cuts were so so, served hot which I didn't care for. Expensive for the quality and lackadaisical service. read more

The Good: Hubby said his personal pizza was good. My cavatini had a good flavor. The breadsticks were good but extremely light on the garlic and cheese. The view is awesome if you choose to eat on their deck. Waitress was friendly. The Bad: You know when you go into restaurant that has signs up saying "No orders may be placed until seated," "Do not place to go orders with intentions of eating here," and "Do not switch tables after order has been placed" that the focus is not on the customer in a good way. My guess is the owner/mgr definitely is not from this area. When I read on the menu that they appreciate your understanding when they are busy, I knew the only thing short about our visit would be the waitresses short shorts. First, the owner/manager had her three kids (all under age 9) in there. Part of the time she had them delivering food to customers, cleaning tables, or just running around making noise. My cavatini was homemade but obviously at least a day old and warmed up in the microwave. Good flavor but watery and the middle was still cold. My son said his pizza tasted like a doughy frozen pizza. They could use more experienced waitresses. Though nice, our teenage waitress walked past our table three times over ten minutes without saying she'd be right with us or ask about drinks. She also never offered refills. I felt like we were inconveniencing her the entire time. In short, if you need convenience food while at Bridgewater, go ten steps further to Moosie's or Mango's. If you want good pizza, drive on past and head to Joes Pizza at Westlake. Worth the extra ten minutes for an awesome pizza buffet and great service. read more
