I was craving some Italian, so I decided to give Ynot Italian a try! I ordered delivery and everything was packaged really well--no spills, no leaking, and everything arrived in good shape. The delivery wait wasn't long either, which was a nice bonus. I ordered the eggplant parm with the sauce on the side and absolutely devoured it! It was good and definitely satisfied my Italian craving. My only preference would have been a little more cheese and for the eggplant to be a bit crispier, but that's just my personal taste. I also got the garlic knots with the garlic chunks on top--YUM! They arrived warm and were really good. My friend ordered the chicken parm and enjoyed it as well. There was lots of cheese, and they had enough leftovers for another meal the next day. Overall, it wasn't bad. The food was satisfying, the portions were solid, and delivery was smooth, but I'm not sure it stood out enough for me. read more

I love YNOT's. The Ghent location was my favorite, but since they shut down years ago, this is my favorite. Their eggplant parm is like no other. It's my absolutely favorite. Service is always pretty generic- nothing out of this world to rave about, but I normally like to sit outside, where servers often forget about tables during non busy seasons. I will continue to come here, and I can't wait to come again. This is one of my favorite local restaurants. read more

Ynot Italian - Eggplant Lasagna - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Very disappointed. This is my go to her comfort food. Did not receive the Colossal meatball with my build my pasta creation. Was $37. We also used to get a free loaf of bread with an entrée, but it's now 1.40 for a small slice. This was at the princess Anne location.. Not sure if I'm going back. read more

A Hidden Gem Worth the Drive - Authentic Italian Comfort in Every Bite! I'm beyond thrilled to have discovered this incredible Italian spot--what a gem! Even though I live in Hampton, I don't mind making the drive to Virginia Beach (formerly Chesapeake) because the food here is absolutely worth it. Let's start with the Margherita Pizza--a true standout! Perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, and that classic flavor that brings you straight to Italy. Their Tuscan Beef is another favorite of mine--rich, hearty, and full of bold flavor. I personally add just a touch of sugar to bring out a little sweetness, but that's just my own twist. Either way, it's delicious. What really keeps me coming back, though, is how consistent and welcoming this place is. I often grab pizzas for my mother, and we both love their wide variety of desserts and gelato--there's something for every craving! The staff is always warm, friendly, and professional, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The ambience is cozy, quiet, and inviting, with a vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. Even the other guests tend to be welcoming, adding to the neighborhood charm. Their pizza reminds me of classic New York-style slices--crisp, cheesy, and so satisfying. If you're looking for a new favorite Italian spot, look no further. Whether you're coming from near or far, do yourself a favor and get over here. You won't regret it. read more

Y Not Italian is the kind of place that makes you smile the moment you walk in--partly because it smells amazing, and partly because you know you're about to eat enough carbs to power a small village. The pizza? Fantastic. The crust walks that perfect line between soft and crispy, like it went to crust boot camp and came out with discipline. The toppings taste fresh, and the cheese pulls are so long they should come with a warning label. The pasta was so good it practically introduced itself and asked if I wanted to be friends. Rich sauces, perfectly cooked noodles--honestly, I felt like my fork was on vacation. Why four stars instead of five? The wait. Not terrible, but long enough that I started narrating my own life like I was in a cooking show waiting for the judges. Still worth it, though. The staff? Super friendly--like "we'd totally join your table for a laugh if it wasn't frowned upon" friendly. Overall: great food, warm vibes, a little slow on the timing, but absolutely worth the trip. Would I go back? Y Not.. read more

Very good local chain restaurant that has a family run business feel . Prices are good, food quality is good and service is outstanding. Our server Lola did a great job explaining the menu and options. Greek salad was fresh and well made . The small version was plenty for two. I had the chicken Marsala which was very tasty . My wife had the Ziti which could have served three . It was delicious. Pizzas looked awesome, will try one next time . First time here but we will be back often . Highly recommend read more

Bring a jacket yo! Chilly in here! But large menu, great options for pizzas (hand rolled crust!), salads, pastas, and more. Serious loads of garlic on the garlic knot app, and the accompanying marinara is very good; not too sweet, not too acidic. Tastes very fresh. Chicken parm sandwich large and easily shared by two, with very good bread and well prepared chicken and same marinara. Nice and attentive wait staff. All in all a great meal. Recommend. read more

Horrible food, horrible pizza, horrible wings. You're better off ordering from Pizza Hut or dominos, the wings are literally microwaved. What a cheap horrible place. Go anywhere else but here read more

I'm a sucker for a good slice of pizza! I'm also a big fan of garlic knots!! I'm like a thin crust pizza and garlic knots with lots of garlic. Ynot is pretty good not bad, not New York pizza , but it work. The thin crust slice of cheese pizza is pretty good. The first time I ordered the slice it didn't have enough cheese for me so this time when I ordered I requested extra cheese fresh mozzarella!! It was pretty good. The garlic knots are okay but I have a place I used to go to in CT that makes the best garlic knots. I have not found anywhere that makes them as good as them!! Will I go back to Ynot of course why wouldn't I! Not too many places sells slices and I love a good slice of cheese!! The service was quick I don't bother ordering ahead because it's just a slice of pizza and it really doesn't take long. The restaurant appears to be popular they were very busy the both times I have been there! But the staff have been friendly both times I've been there! I might try dining in at some point! read more

Adjusting my first review, this use to be one of the best places to go but when the owners are there (husband & especially the wife) the restaurant always seem to get something wrong so we stopped going in the evenings for a while but recently went back ordered our usual salad and pizza, we ate part of the salad and found multiple pieces of hair, no one ever came to the table to ask if everything was okay (the owners wife) came and snatched the bowl off the table and walked away NOT A WORD. I had to approach her and ask so no one was going to address the issue she proceeded with a half azz apology then said I took care of your bill to me it's taken care of just to come back almost 2 months later to hear she instructed staff to not serve us because we walked out on a bill which is so far from the truth, we had been patronizing their business for years, now another time your messy kitchen sends out hairy or questionable food and I call you on you bull.... and unprofessional behavior now we are all of a sudden thieves when she said your bill is covered not one time did this lady say part of the bill was covered or we would have paid it but I get it you make a little money now you think regular customer's would feel the need to steal from a place we frequent yes miss lady you are very smart and wise, ignorance shows in many forms so with that being said my husband handed Josh the store manager $40 which more than covered his pizza hopefully the scholar of the store is so very proud of herself for being so smart and attentive we truly appreciate when people show who and what they really are. My hats off to the owners wife with her precious self bless her poor little hateful heart I hope that $40 heals you on to Aberdeen Barn definitely best customer service ever and by the way DON'T TRASH OUR NAME BECAUSE OF YOUR BEHAVIOR WE ARE NO ONES THIEVES LADY.. now please seek guidance because you are no better than the next person that walks through that door. Someone will Humble you one day with that behavior, lying on someone's character just to make yourself feel justified for absolute stupidity on the restaurants end is crazy. Get help A.S.A.P. Funny people here..Stay away from Providence Road location or any other Y not location if that's the way you treat regular good paying customers. read more

Don't let the outside dissuade you from eating here. It's an old refurbished fast food restaurant, which is so cool. For the first hour me and my best friend were trying to research online to see what the place used to be no luck though lol. The food is delicious, I love the create your own salad and it is a large salad. And the appetizers are very delicious. Just all around very good Italian food. The staff is friendly and made the experience that much better. read more

We love Y-Not! this is a beautiful store with super friendly and attentive staff. The food is delicious. We always start with garlic knots and calamari. It is perfectly crispy and delicious! We love their white pizza and usually order the Florentine, add pepperoni! And for dessert, cannolis! So good!! read more

Ynot Italian - Cannoli - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Pizza, chicken parm and speghetti is not good. Pizza no flavor and the sauce for chicken parm and speghetti is too sweet and drowns the dish. Also the pasta is over cooked. My experience is based off many visits not just one. Although I don't like Olive Garden, I think they may do a better job. read more

This place is solid. Not outstanding but solid. Some things are done very well. Today I did a Door Dash order. I ordered the kids Spaghetti with marina sauce, side meatball, Cyndis Salad and the Florentine Calzone. Delivered right on time and hot. The kids spaghetti was HUGE and enough for 2 meals. The salad was full of feta cheese. The most I have seen on a salad.....I loved it!!! The meatball came with so much sauce that I am bringing the sauce home and using it for some pasta that I will cook. They did not skimp at all. The meatball was tender with good flavor. And the Calzone was yummy. Maybe a little smaller than others but it was delicious. I definitely got 2-3 meals out of this order. No pictures....I was at work and didn't think of it. But the portions were generous. read more

Reliably excellent - takeout and in the restaurant. Love their pizza and reliable Italian dishes.

A nice experience. Ynot offers several pasta dishes as well as pizza. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan with fettuccine on the side. The meals come with complimentary bread. The chicken was thick and moist. The breading was done well, and the tomato sauce had a lot of tomato. It was also thick with a good flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Our server was nice and understanding. We had 5 people in our group, and we showed up at different times. She worked with us, and our food was served not long after ordered. The seating has tables and booths. Ynot is not fancy but has a modern decor. Overall, it was a very nice experience. read more

Food was delicious as always. The spaghetti with meatball was tasty . The portion was huge enough for 3 meals. The pizza was gobbled down by the grandkids. They are very particular about pizza! Service was excellent. The order was perfect ready when expected to be ready. The kicking bourbon wings great. We will continue to patronize this restaurant!! read more

I don't know how good their food is or isn't but to get it delivered cost $15. You had up all the fees and taxes and a $70 no $65 meal turns into $100 I would never go to this place with the outrageous prices. They are charging for delivery and it only gets three stars so it doesn't sound like it's worth your while even to drive to and even at $100 they want you to tip the driver 10 sorry not going to this place! Too damn expensive to even try read more

This is by far my favorite Ynot I've been going to this location for some years. The service is phenomenal and everyone is always really nice. The place is always well kept and clean which is always a plus. read more

We took our grandchildren to ynot before going to see the lights at ocean front last night. We ordered the margarita pizza and it was the worse pizza we have ever eaten. It came with what looked and tasted like chopped can tomatoes on it , no sauce, basil or cheese, just bread with the tomatoes. We all just scraped the tomatoes off and ate the bread. We didn't want to upset the children by complaining while we were having soooo much fun. read more

The alla vodka pasta is the best I've ever had. Service & food was absolutely impeccable. Great for my family of 5! 10/10 recommend

Love this place! One of my top Italian Restaurants in VA huge portions, great prices not a fancy restaurant but definitely a staff friendly environment. The food taste amazing my favorite is the vodka sauce and pizza reminds me of New York, I would highly recommend. read more

Steve the GM and Britney our server was awsome as hell. Great people that work there are great. The food was amazing. The restaurant was clean and beautiful decor of Italy and NY. I recommend the Great Neck location to anyone. My name is Ed me and my wife Brandee will be comeing back garuntee. By the way food and Deserts are to die for. read more

Ynot, more like don't bother. I've ordered from the Chesapeake and VB locations multiple times. Pizza is ok. Not the best but being from Philly, you're hard pressed to find a good New York style pizza around here. I've ordered the Margarita multiple time - so I know what to expect. Tonight, however, was unmatched. I apparently somehow ordered an extra crust pizza with a microscopic amount of cheese and extra extra sauce. I honestly don't know how someone thought that was ok to give to a paying customer. The store is a 20 minute drive plus it was a 50 minute wait - my husband picked it up and after being at urgent care all day with our 4 month old there was no driving back and asking for it to be remade. I half salvaged it by adding some shredded mozzarella I had and putting it in the toaster oven. However, the quality of what I paid for ($20) was sub par and unacceptable. read more

Ynot Italian - a pepperoni pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Worst COFFEE in my entire life. Soup was absolutely the worst salty, salty. Very good pizza. Poor service.

How do you screw up a single order so badly? I ordered the chicken parmigiana platter and selected the side item of spaghetti with bolognese sauce and a side Caesar salad. First problem was they didn't put the salad in the bag. But wait! There's more. Here's what I found in the bag once I got home. The side pasta they gave me was penne pasta, not spaghetti. The sauce was not bolognese, it was Marinara. The chicken was drier than hell. The side salad was not a Caesar salad, just a garden salad and a great many pieces of the lettuce were rotten. On the bright side, the roll was okay. This was a complete waste of $23. Based upon this fubar order, I'd recommend a name change to Why Ynot? We won't be coming back again. Think I'll stick with Sal's NY Slice instead. At least they can read the order and care about getting it right. read more

Ynot Italian - What I ordered from YNot Pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I am giving Ynot 3 stars only because their staff is super friendly and they gave me free petit fours when I ordered 3 pastries/cakes to go. But if this review is purely on the food, it would be 2 stars for their cakes leave much to be desired. The cakes are very dry, the tiramisu cake didn't have the coffee flavor that you'd expect from tiramisu cakes. The lemon cake looks like the one served at Olive Garden but so much drier and no Hint of lemon at all however subtle. The only thing that was okay was the eclair but even that, the eclair wasn't soft. I think they have pre-sliced the cake that caused them to be dry. Not sure if they were baked fresh that day. Wanted to like them but didn't. read more

The entrée I had I didn't enjoy at all. The gravy (marinara sauce) was awful. The portion was good. The server was nice and her customer service was good. They gave me the wrong pasta, the bread wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The food had taken a bit long to be served and was pricey. I wouldn't suggest what I had which was the chicken parmigiana but the desserts and pastries looked pretty good. Again very pricey but the service I received was ok. I don't recommend them but I give credit when and where it's due. The ambiance is ehh. It's not a romantic place but the restaurant was very clean. read more

Undercooked chicken and incorrectly prepared orders are a regular occurrence. It's hard to mess up a pizza when they aren't awesome in the first place. 10+ Years ago it was descent. Seems like hawking tickets for motivational speaking is more important than QA on the food. Haven't eaten inside in 4 years, delivery only. The staff really is nice but that can't make up for the food. read more

Ynot Italian - Undercooked pink chicken - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

After weeks of texts inviting me to order delivery from Ynot Italian I gave in and ordered a 10" Florentine pizza with three cheeses and I paid extra to add olives, mushrooms, pineapple and sausage. When the pizza arrived the only thing on it other than the cheese was black olives and these flat thin pieces of something I guess they consider sausage but was not edible. The description included, of course, spinach, which was nowhere to be found. I spent almost $35 on this pizza and it is going straight in the trash. read more

Came in no waiter had to make eye contact before anyone came too serve us tap water was bad tasting pizza was bland no garlic taste or olive oil flavor at all in the sauce. Good luck read more

Food a little pricey but worth the money the taste and texture is amazing service is assume

All and all a good pizza/ neighborhood Italian joint. A touch more expensive than I think it should be, but generally worth it.

Had a delightful dinner with drinks and appetizers along with our entrees. Our server was Chloe and she went above and beyond her duties to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be. If there were more servers like Chloe, dining out would be that much better because if the personal care she gives. When you visit, be sure to ask for her! The caprese salad was good, and the Stromboli and Calzone were freshly made and serviced perfectly browned from the oven and piping hot I should also state that Teresa was running the bar section and she knows how to make the perfect cocktail. All in all, a wonderful evening. read more

Chicken parm is soggy and breading falls right off. No flavor at all. Mozzarella sticks came cold and nearly hollow.

Ordered a Margherita Pizza 45 minutes before close for takeout. Great service but pizza was poorly made. (Steamed broccoli had no seasoning either.) Reached out twice and never received a response so I'm posting this picture. Buyer beware. read more

Ynot Italian - Margherita Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

For a chain place, Y-Not is pretty solid. They've got all the regular Americanized-Italian things you want plus a few little extras here and there. I stopped in with a friend of mine for happy hour, and they have some pretty solid deals! Ordered a half price bottle of wine to share and some Italian wedding cookies -- super tasty! The kids were able to get pizza by the slice, and the slices are HUGE. Big perk when you're wanting to feed hungry kids, but no one can agree on a pizza topping to share. They also have a cool system where you can build your own salad and such -- just didn't try it out on this visit. Service was okay as well, and there is ample parking available. Overall, a decent spot to grab a reasonably priced bite! read more
