    Yummy goodness!!
    Natalie M.

    I had a taste for pizza and did not want to purchase from a chain restaurant or my usual go-to Mom and Pop pizzeria. The Pizzeria is the truth! I just wish I would've dined in instead of taking it home so that I could've enjoyed my pizza nice and hot. When I got home the pizza was warm but still extremely tasty! I literally hummed and did a little dance at first bite. The staff were pleasant when I placed my order and picked up my pie. The price for a 18" half pepperoni was reasonable. My only critique for this visit is that I wish there was better lighting in the plaza or that they had a sign that lit up. This was my first visit and although Google maps got me to the plaza, I was unsure of The Pizzeria's location due to it being dark outside. It was truly worth the visit and I will definitely return!

    Virginia Beach's Pizza Hidden Gem!! I've lived next to the Pizzeria for 7 years and never went in. Looking at the dilapidated closed businesses around it and thinking it was just another pizza joint, I never gave it a thought. Additionally, the outdoor décor isn't attracting me to their doors. My diet is usually Paleo or Keto so if I'm going to cheat, it will be with a one of a kind pie from The Bakehouse at Chelsea, Hearth, Commonwealth Brewery or Mellow Mushroom. The problems with these places: Bakehouse at Chelsea (In Norfolk too far from me), Hearth (packed), Commonwealth Brewery (packed), Mellow Mushroom (packed). I just want an amazing pizza without hassle. After eating the pizza from Pizzeria, I can easily proclaim, I've found my new cheat night pie! The owner explained that he worked for Papa John's, Marcos Pizza, and Wood Fire Pizza and has blended his years of experience into his craft. Damn, it was good and you could tell that this was not just another pizza joint making what they call a "Pizza" but an artisan bringing his years of experience to the meals. The pizza menu is extensive and fully customizable. But that huge bianca pizza selection is one I have never seen and something to see. The Pizzas we ordered: the Bianca Malaya and Deluxe. It hit all the pizza checks that I was looking for: CRUST: light, crisp and good. Perfect balance of tomato, mozzarella, and toppings. Not too greasy and full of taste!! Damn was it good, and I am a huge pizza snob. Funny thing about this place. My neighbors who lived their entire lives in New York City always told me to eat here since it was pretty much dead on for a New York Style pizza. I never believed them nor overlooked the façade of this place but now, I call this place my joint! Give this place a try, you wont be let down!

    I'm thrilled The Pizzeria has survived 5 years in an extremely competitive pizza market. But there was a reason I have not been back in over 4 years and it was validated again. The pizza just is not to my liking at all. The service was friendly on ordering picking up and purchasing. That's worthy of at least 3 stars in my book. The outside and interior clean and presents nicely with a great feel of local. That's what kills me to not keep them on par. Letting the food lead my family of 4 first agreed the pepperoni pizza was ridiculously greasy. We sopped off the grease. The taste was just ok. The toasty crust was the best thing about the pie. Adding parmesan cheese helped little. To each there own, but I cannot go back. I threw out the remaining slices not eaten. Sad when they are located minutes from my house. 2.5 rounding down.

    Same great pizza, same reasonable price (despite ingredient cost increases). $11 for a hand tossed, fresh baked 18" cheese pie is solid. Perfect sauce to cheese ratio; crust bake is great every time (not brick hard or limp noodle soft). Carry out, delivery, and dine in available. Owner/pizza chef is a nice guy and military veteran. He no longer offers online sales but does have a few weekly specials, just call in to learn more. Dining room clean. Credit cards accepted. Limited parking in shared lot.

    Nice art/pizza boxes! I like the atmosphere inviting!!!  Let's do this!

We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

It was a beautiful evening. Our server was Lauryn, and she was great. She was nice and attentive but not worrisome. We had the Wisconsin Cheese Curds along with the house made Sangria. As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house. Again, the vibe, service, and scenery was worth the drive.. the food not so much.
