I have a full-on love affair with Zorch Pizza. I crave it. I think about it when I shouldn't. And while they've got more than one location, this review is strictly for Carytown because that's my spot. The vibes are always right. It feels like community the second you walk in. Hector is the coolest, hands down--great energy, great personality, the kind of person who makes you want to come back. Oh and did I mention you can get pizza by the slice! The variety is mind blowing and they always have vegan options!!!!! I'm a thin-slice person. I need the right ratio of crust to sauce to toppings, and Zorch nails it every time. Plus, no flop! The cheese slice is a classic and was my favorite... until I discovered The Upside Down. Listen, when I bite into that slice, I literally close my eyes. I see a lot of people say it's greasy. For this one, grease me down baby. The flavor does everything it needs to do. Layered, bold, and honestly addictive. After that slice, I don't even want a regular one anymore. Next up on my list: The Grandma. And for context, I've had Angelo's in Philly. Respectfully? It doesn't compare. Sorry to all the other grandmothers out there lol. One note though-it's heavy on the garlic, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pivot. If it is your thing? Strap in. It's been a few years since I've been able to say I found a legit pizza spot in RVA. A spot that I bring others to often! I'm happy to say I've found my pizza home. Much love to the Zorch crew. See y'all soon! read more

This is a tiny slice shop, with a couple of tables and a bar with half a dozen seats or so. A large portion of the shop is devoted to displaying the slices. While I did consider other options, the comparison of a margherita slice and a grandma slice appealed to me. Both were delicious but distinctively different. The crust is quite thin and floppy on both. I did not get the vegan grandma slice but this was available for those in need. They had a range of beverage options and given the heat I might have been well served by getting a seltzer, which I didn't simply because I didn't notice it there initially. There is a larger pizza shop which has more appetizers and salads and things, which I am convinced is worth trying. read more

Even though I had leftover food back at my hotel from lunch, I came to Zorch because I had to try their vegan options as an out of towner with no idea when I'd be back. There was a location near my hotel but I got confused and came all the way out to this location--but no regrets! The staff was incredibly nice with my confused self. They were helpful answering questions about my friend's food allergy concern and generally just super nice and welcoming. The place itself was pretty large, had a bar you could sit at, lots of tables, some arcade video games to play, fun cartoons from the 90s on the way. Such a fun, casual vibe! Also, vegans rejoice. Not only did they have vegan pizza but they had vegan wings AND CAKE. That's right. I didn't try those but wish I had the room to! Thank you to business owners like this who keep even one vegan/dairy free option for those who need them! read more

Love Zorch! I'm devoted to The Upside Down pizza. Service is always fast and the space is always clean. Good place to hang!

If you've followed me a while you know: 1. I love pizza 2. I'm always looking for more My Homeboy put me on to this one in Richmond and I was an immediate fan. Fresh ingredients, Detroit square pan style pizza that's, thin but not "thin crust", nice crust that gives chewy and crunchy at the same time, delicious sauce that tastes homemade, and excellent toppings. I also had wings which were saucy, meaty and delicious. Will definitely make this place a regular spot when it's time for a pie! The restaurant is small, maybe 10 tables and a small bar, and parking is limited so prime time hours are going to be tough. I suggest calling ahead if ordering takeout and if not then pull up it's worth the wait. read more

If you are wondering where the best pizza in RVA look no further! Zorch has some of the most delicious pizza in the area! The pizza is already made and you get to order what you want from the cashier. The inside of the store is really tiny. When we first walked in it wasn't clear what we were supposed to do. The staff wasn't going out of the way to help us figure things out either. It was really hot in there and the cashier was visibly annoyed. Eventually we snagged a table and ordered a few different slices of pizza! One of the pizzas we ordered had a dessert pastry crust which was the perfect companion to the sweet tomato sauce and gooey cheese! The standard cheese pizza was also really enjoyable. The crust was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crispness to it! We also got an upside down pizza that had the sauce on top. The sauce on that one was like a vodka style sauce and was pretty oily. read more

Easily the best pizza in Richmond. Zorch is doing something that others aren't. Their fresh and innovated menu has something for everyone (including those who are vegan or gluten free). My favorites are the hot honey & pepperoni slices and the upside down (vodka sauce with basil). I love the selection of beers and the cozy intimate environment. You couldn't ask for a kinder staff and better service. Zorch is definitely not going anywhere any time soon. read more

Still 5 stars! Another amazing server, Rosemary. I am telling you this Zorch location has some of the best service I have received in Richmond. They are kind, loving and so personable. We also tried the wings and salad for the first time and both were top notch. The pizza is always good, best in Richmond. Don't skip out on the salad and wings though. read more

Best pizza AND best wings BUT the most slept on item is their seasonal salad; I have gotten every single season since they've been open at the parlor, and it is absolutely delicious, filled with seasonal produce!! I'm from Pittsburgh and this is a certified Steelers establishment too their servers are amazing and it truly feels like a family establishment. We go regularly and love it!! read more

Zorch Pizza - Upside down slice & Pepperoni slice - Food Trucks Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

TLDR; delicious pizza, a bit pricey but well worth it. The inside is quaint but small. This was my first time at Zorch but I followed the recommendations of other Yelpers. We called ahead and ordered a half pepperoni and half upside down. We forgot to order the hot honey but we added honey and red pepper flakes to our pizzas when we got home and it was SO GOOD. The upside down is my favorite by far as it was flavorful and I have never had a pizza like it before. Excited to come back and try the white out! Pro tip, stop by a local wine shop and pick up a bottle of Lambrusco while you're in Carytown. read more

Zorch Pizza - Pepperoni pizza - Food Trucks Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Zorch is a quaint shop located right in the middle of Carytown. I love stopping in on Fridays for a quick slice. Leah, the front-of-house server, is always kind and attentive to me and anyone I bring with me. There is limited seating, but I think that adds to the space's charm. My go-to slices are the Grandma and the Upside Down. The Grandma is a square slice with a crispy crust, topped with fresh mozzarella and dollops of marinara. After coming out of the oven, it's finished with fresh basil. The Upside Down is made with a creamy vodka sauce. The mozzarella is placed underneath the sauce, hence the name. This slice is also topped with fresh basil after baking. Zorch is my favorite pizza spot in RVA, and I recommend it to anyone visiting from out of town. read more

Favorite pizza in rva so far! This location is quite small. It is definitely geared towards takeout, but there are a few tables inside. You order at the counter. The pizza has a super crispy crust. They do not skimp out on the toppings and load them on, which i appreciate. Pepperoni and upside down are my favorite. Slices are $4-6 each and they are fairly large as well. Overall, I find myself stopping drawn to Zorch whenever I'm on Cary. Plus, you can pair it with the best date night plan by seeing a movie at Byrd right after. read more

If you're on the hunt for a pizza that melds tradition with creative flair, look no further than Zorch Pizza's Forest Hill location. My recent visit to try their special, "Christmas at Nonna's," was a culinary delight worth every penny. This grandma-style pizza truly embodies comfort food at its finest. The standout feature? Tender, perfectly seasoned meatballs that melt in your mouth, complemented by a rich, unique blend of pesto and vodka sauces. It's a culinary combination that elevates this pizza from good to exceptional. At a slightly higher price point than your typical pizza offerings, it may make you pause initially. However, the sheer size of the pie, so large it challenges the dimensions of a standard refrigerator, assures you're getting tremendous value for your money. This is not just dinner; it's a pizza experience that provides plenty of leftovers. While we opted for takeout, I was impressed by the inviting ambiance inside. The staff provided a warm welcome that immediately made me feel at home, a testament to their focus on customer service. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, perfect for a casual hangout or a festive gathering. A notable mention for dog lovers: Zorch Pizza boasts a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor area I'm eager to explore on my next visit with my pup. It adds a layer of family-friendly charm that so many dining spots miss these days. read more

Zorch Pizza - Special of the Week: Christmas at Nonna's! - Food Trucks Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The vibe is on point, vegan options were plentiful - including meat substitutes, and service was great despite this being a very busy night with no empty seats. We got a vegan pepperoni pie and it was a delicious thin crust with plenty of cheesey goodness. We want to try the vegan sandwiches next time, they sound so yummy . Arcade games, TVs with classic cartoons Scoobt Dooo & TMNT, playing, strings of Xmas lights, make a nostalgic setting. If you're looking for a quiet dining experience, this isn't it, lol.

SO GOOD! Not a ton of seating but a cute spot with amazing service. Their pizza is awesome. Perfect amount of chew on the crust. You can order a pie 50/50 which I'm so glad we did versus ordering two pies because these things are huge! Dense with toppings - one pizza, a basket of fries, and an order of wings fed three of us for two days. Can't wait to go back and try more topping combos! read more

Loveee the Zorch Forest Hill location. The best pizza in Richmond and the best Buffalo chicken pizza I've ever had. The Philly cheesesteak is delicious too and rivals Stanley's (huge compliment). Entire pizza pie's are large at 18" and slightly expensive but absolutely worth it. Decor and style inside is great with some vintage arcade games. read more

If you wanted to go here to hang out with people, you could come here get an excellent pizza. The mozzarella sticks were great and their vodka sauce was great. The service was really good and at first I thought the price was high. But the size of the pizza and with the way they do the toppings this place is just well worth it. Grab this for a pizza night and everyone will be wanting more. read more

Phenomenal pizza. Best I have had in quite a while. Service was great, the restaurant takes you back to the 80's with the video games and decor. Very chill, Rosemary took very good care of us and had great suggestions on the pizza. The salad was big, light and fresh and full of flavor. Three of us ate on it. The parking is limited and you have to watch the ditch in the rear parking area by the street. A must have for local Richmond pizza parlor. Toppings were plentiful too, hot honey sauce was a great addition on the side. Enjoyed this place immensely! read more

This is a tale of two reviews. They average to a 4 star. First the food. We each had a slice and an order of fries. The slice of pepperoni and the slice of cheese were among the best, if not THE best, I have had in Richmond. Really tasty, showing quality ingredients..... small cup pepperoni, lots of good quality cheese, crust that was properly cooked, with scorchy bubbly places on the crust. Yummy! The fries came out hot and well seasoned and I could have eaten them til I burst. Really great food is what we had. 5 stars. But.... the service situation was weird. The restaurant has 3 tables and 5 seats at the small bar. One of the three tables was not available due to a lack of chairs. (They were in use at the other two tables. What, not a single extra seat in the place? None?) So we sat at the bar with the door opening and closing behind us in January. We ordered our (again, delicious) food but before we ordered the fries we tried to order the Toasted Ravioli. We were told by the bartender "I don't think we sell that at this location." Huh? Then why is it one of three appetizers you have on the menu? Why disappoint your guests before they take the first bite? Anyway, food came out and we tucked in. We got the slices and my wife asked for a fork and knife. The knife was granted immediately. The fork got forgotten by the bartender. Even when reminded he had to go to the kitchen and discuss it with someone in the doorway. The fries didn't arrive til we were nearly done with the slices. Um..... We also ordered a slice to go..... it was given to us on a paper plate with another plate on top..... the crust and the other end protruding from the plates. Really? I need to transport this in my car like this? You don't have slice boxes? To be fair service was friendly. Just scattered. Service/set up/ambiance gets 2.5 stars. We decided the quality of the food would bring us back if what we wanted was a slice from the limited choices. But for anything more expansive (like a sandwich) or exotic (like sausage) or larger (whole pizza was a 30-45 minute wait) we'll go a few blocks up the street. read more

Been wanting to get some Zorch ever since I went to a Yelp event where it was served and thought it was sooo good. Got it for take out for the family and It did not disappoint! We had white out,, Grandmas, pepperoni and the chicken bacon zranch. Thank you YELP for helping me discover this gem in Richmond! read more

Zorch is soo good! It's become one of my go-to spots for pizza, I only wish they were open more. They deliver on the New York style pizza. I've enjoyed every pizza I've had but my favorites are the pepperoni, upside down (vodka sauce), and the white out. Highly recommend adding some hot honey, especially on pepperoni. It's mainly a to-go spot since their seating is limited with just a few small tables and the bar. They have online ordering. We usually call in our order to have the option to do half pizzas. read more

Hip pizza spot, perfect for grabbing a slice. There's some seating, but it's pretty chill. You order at the bar, they heat up your slice, and you enjoy. The pepperoni pizza? Out of this world! Great prices, friendly service, and amazing flavor. Plus, the waitress made up for a mix-up by giving us a free slice. read more

Zorch Pizza - Pepperoni w/hot honey - Food Trucks Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Pretty good pizza! Recently was voted the best pizza spot in RVA in a March Madness-style bracket, so we were excited to try it. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options which was awesome! In order of our faves: 1) Goat Cheese + Peach Jam - super creamy, flavors were well-balanced, slightly on the sweeter side, my personal favorite. 2) White Out - caramelized onions, basil, ricotta, garlic, you get the idea - this one was good as well but didn't feel SAUCY which we were really craving. 3) Red Sauce Thick Crust - forgot the official name for this pizza but it was a thick crust (square slices), with tomato sauce and cheese. Very satisfying! Your classic pizza flavors. 4) Vegan Sausage - forgot the official name for this too but you really could not tell it was vegan. Really liked this as well, it was just a little bitter as you continued to eat. Overall would probably try it again for some other specialty slices (I like that they sell by slice so you don't have to buy the full pie) - however, it does lose its tastiness as it gets cold, so def eat hot. read more

Best pizza in Richmond. Really! Service was great! It took a little bit of time to get our pizza. However it was Friday & the place was packed & there were lots of to-go orders as well. Worth the wait for sure! I highly recommend the sausage & cheese. Sausage is made locally. The dough is perfect too! The wine selection was small but someone put some thought into the choices! Parking can get a little crazy on Friday nights but there is a large grass lot behind the restaurant to park. read more

We went to try out the newest neighborhood pizza parlor and were so unexpectedly impressed! The pizza was huge and we were able to do a half&half of any pizza on the menu. They also offer slices of plain cheese or pepperoni if you don't want a whole pie. They have some good happy hour specials on drinks and food and it was quick service. The place is pretty small but they have inside and outdoor seating available. Parking is limited and it gets super busy on Friday nights. The only downside is that my husband was excited for the nostalgia of an old school pizza parlor and while the decor was correct, the arcade games were a bit lacking. But that won't take away from the real reason you need to go...the pizza! Definitely recommend! read more

Just incredible. The vegan options are wildly good. It's a tad pricy but you do get what you pay for: elite vegan options not available many other places. The vegan wing night special (not always on the menu) was maybe the best thing I've ever eaten... and my nonvegan friend agreed! You can sit at the bar for a beer and pizza, grab a table inside or out, or opt for a picnic table in the rear yard with takeout. They have a parking lot but beware it's rather small. Residential street parking is available too. Beware also that on weekends they sometimes have to turn off phones and online takeout orders because they're that busy! But worth it.. just drive in. Over all, a wonderful spot for vegan options below the river. read more

I really enjoyed coming to Zorch! It has a very fun vibe inside and I love that you can both order slices which come out very fast as well as full pies.

This place is located in Carytown, across from the Theater. Overall, this is pretty solid pizza, and better than a lot of the pizza not only located in VA, but just anywhere in general. It's super thin, NY style pizza with a twist. I think they change their specialty slices once in a while but they're all pretty good. Service is quick. They reheat the pizza, and then you're on your way. The store itself is pretty small. If there was a rush, you probably wouldn't find a seat. But typically, it's not too busy. Overall, good pizza. read more
