Bottoms Up Pizza

This place has all black chefs. Every food item was seasoned perfectly! The gouda bites were very cheesy and fried to perfection. I love that the cheese pulled as I bit into it. The dough was seasoned well. So you didn't need any dip, but it does come with a marinara type of sauce. And yes the sauce was seasoned too lol nothing bland at this place! I'm a ranch lover so I dipped some in ranch, some in the sauce and some I ate plain. We ate so fast that I forgot to take a pic smh I also ordered the crab pizza (idk the menu name), but I ordered it without onions and lightly cooked. It was also seasoned well and they give you an old bay shaker to sprinkle on top. I'm from MD so I don't usually like other state crab dishes, but this one was the best out of state crab item I've ever had. Of course MD has the best crab pizza, but this one is definitely right behind it. My friend created her own pizza and loved it.Street parking is available. We lucked up with a spot around the corner, but later found out they offer validated parking in a lot or garage somewhere close by. The inside is very outdated. No decor. The place is spacious and has a bar and several levels, including and outdoor section. Service was good. They greet you as you enter and take you to be seated. The waiters answered all of our questions with no problems. The manager was super friendly and offered to take us on a tour when he realized I was not from VA.

The pizza here is the absolute best! I did just realize the pizza dough has egg in it which for whatever reason took me by surprise and I happen to be allergic. I mean, of course it has egg because the crust is incredible and it's just this fluffy deliciousness. Anyway, I went there this past Friday and had the worst reaction ever, not being able to breathe and relying heavily on my inhaler that's when I discovered the egg . I've had plenty amazing pizzas without egg in the crust so I guess that's why I was surprised and now I'm just so sad I can't eat their pizza anymore. I'm hoping one day they'll make dough without egg as an option on their menu. Otherwise, definitely check out Bottoms Up!! The ambiance is my fave and the restaurant is super cute and comfy. Most of everyone seems to enjoy their job and are super friendly. I love going there because of that as well.

I'm here for a work conference and wanted to order delivery after a long day. The delivery took over 1 hour and The food clearly from the picture is absolutely disgusting. It was delivered cold and with barely any toppings or cheese. It literally taste just like store bought frozen pizza. I would not recommend eating here. The worst part is Kristen the manager was rude when i called and asked for them to remake the pizza or could i order something else to be delivered. She was yelling telling me she would not send me anything else and would not send another delivery driver to the hotel per policy and would just refund me but refused to replace the order even though i'm 5 minutes away. I asked could she just put the money to another delivery and she then came to her senses telling me she never even thought of that. I just said refund it because there was so much confusion it was sad. I asked for the general manager's name and email which is Troy. This was one of the absolute worst experiences I've ever had in my life.

Great service on this cold day. Always in the mood for a slice of Bottom's Up Chesapeake pizza.

I have ordered from this place on several occasions but have never eaten inside until now. What seems to be a hole-in-the-wall joint is cool--small, quaint, dining area with a full bar. The staff is very nice from the moment you walk in the door. In the past, I have enjoyed the Shrimp & Crab Alfredo pasta and different versions of pizza, and they were all delicious. The menu has several options available, so I went with the cheeseburger. Pretty good. Good size, flavor, and a good portion of fries. I will visit more often.

After over 20 years away, I found myself working next door to Bottoms Up Pizza, so I decided to drop in. The pizza, particularly the weekly special--buffalo chicken--was amazing. The crust stood out with its thick, buttery texture, providing a satisfying base for the generous toppings. A perfect amount of sauce and cheese complemented the spicy buffalo chicken, ensuring each bite was truly enjoyable.Service was impressively friendly, enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. It's important to note that each slice is made to order, so it does take a bit of time to come out, but the wait is worth it. Each slice is substantial, essentially the size of two large slices from a typical chain pizza place, ensuring you'll leave satisfied.While the interior might not be fancy, Bottoms Up Pizza is perfect for a lunch break or a late-night pizza craving. It's a spot that delivers on quality rather than pretentious ambiance, making it a must-visit for pizza lovers looking for something beyond the ordinary.

It's not your traditional pizza. Not that there is a "Richmond-style" pizza. Let's just say that Bottoms Up is unique for Richmond. My most recent visit was consistent with previous ones. The service is good, but the kitchen a little slow. The pizzas, as described elsewhere, are bready but with generous toppings. I had a slice of the Meat Master (topped with ground beef, Italian sausage, ham, and pepperoni) and it made a tremendous lunch. I hope to return soon for after-work, to enjoy a leisurely pizza feast and a few adult beverages.

Sister brought me here before dropping me off at RIC. Good gluten free pizza. Only one that didn't spark a hypoglycemia episode. GF crusts are generally glucose nightmares for me (I don't have a stomach and eat GF with my celiac sister). Good service. Hard to find parking. Cool ambiance. Would like to try non GF pizza one day :)

Hadn't been to Bottoms Up in about 15 years,so I can't accurately compare against my memory. We were celebrating my birthday with my inlaws. My SIL made a reservation days ahead for 12. When she first there, she was told no reservation and they seated us upstairs at two neighbors, but not connected tables. This resulted in us feeling disjointed as some of us had our backs to one another. It seemed like it wouldn't have been hard to rearrange the tables, but...clearly was too tricky for the staff. The AC was super forceful and blew hard on us most of the night, adding to discomfort. We had appetizers cheese tracks that were okay, but then the app plates were quickly whisked away and the pizza arrived....but we had nothing to plate it onto! We sat looking at the pizzas for quite a bit. I finally picked up a slice and started eating it without a plate under it. She did eventually bring plates, but then we were rather underwhelmed with the pizza. The crust was basically focaccia, and did not have the normal chew and bite you would expect with a pizza crust. It was super fluffy and high. We liked the Molly Malloy and the loaded, but we felt the Chesapeake left a LOT to be desired. The onions were not particularly caramelized, then I couldn't really find the white sauce. No real garlic flavor, or flavor of old bay. I just reheated a slice we took home and added spinach to the top and roasted red pepper pesto. 100% improved. Overall, there was nothing to encourage me to come back to Bottoms up. It's sad, because it is in such a cool location down under the 95 Expressway interchange and the railroad tracks. Hopefully they can make shifts that they need to and stay open!

Bottom's Up Pizza has been our long time favorite for 25 years when dining in for pizza. Saturday we drove from the the far Westend specifically to dine their. I always order 15 wings, a Medium Meat Master w/ EXTRA sauce and my wife orders a slice of Goat in the Garden. This is the place we take out of town visitors because it is so good. Wings were the normal 5* but whoever was working the kitchen not only missed the EXTRA sauce, but the only hint of sauce at all was around the edge of the pizza. We did not complain as our server was wonderful. I noticed my wife did not eat all of hers and I asked her why. She responded that it had 1/2 the Goat Cheese she normally receives. Leaving this review in hopes BUP will address this so we can go back and receive the consistency we are accustomed to.
