Pizzeria Bella Vista by Signorelli

★★★★★ 4.5 (415) • $$

"I recently stopped by Pizzeria Bella Vista by Signorelli located near Chesapeake Regional Hospital just off Battlefield Boulevard in the heart of Chesapeake.If you've never been here, you're in for a real treat.Michael, the owner, learned how to make pizza in the Old Country (Napoli) Naples Italy. In fact, his wood fired pizza oven was imported from there, and that is only part of the secret to this wonderful eatery. This is a fantastic place for people who enjoy authentic Neapolitan Pizza made by people who know their craft. I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Gotta say, the margarita flight is what got me in the door. Three out of four of them were good. Our server was super nice and accommodating. Food was good. Prices weren't bad. I got a pizza, I think it was crab . She's a keeper! Portion size was pretty big and the decor was nice. I'd return."

Orapax Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (483) • $$

"Visited Orapax for the first time for a corporate team dinner and was very impressed! Loved how warm and welcoming the ambiance was and the small lights on the table made it very easy to see the menu. There was a few minutes left for Happy Hour (Happy Hour ends at 6!) and I ordered the Rosemary fries, a half dozen of Pegasus wings (they were so good!) and a small Greek salad. For the size of our party, all of the food arrived in a timely manner and was perfect- the tempeture was great, serving size was great. No complaints at all. To wrap up the night, I finished with a warm brownie sundae topped with vanilla ice cream with drizzled caramel and chocolate syrup. 10/10. I found a new hidden gem!"

Antonio's Ristorante Italiano

★★★★☆ 4.4 (363) • $$

"I called last minute around lunch time on Black Friday and the host was able to seat my family party of 11 in a semi-private area at one table. Our party consisted of little kids, teens, adults, and grandparents and everyone was able to order something they liked. The food was hot and fresh and seemed to be mostly homemade. Service was great, especially considering we had a large mixed party. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely go again!"

Five Boroughs Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (337) • $$

"The pizza was traditional NY style pizza, and it was pretty good. I did not enjoy the chicken shawarma platter. Other posts had large chunks of chicken, whereas I got mostly rice and crumbly bits of chicken. It was almost as if they were running out of meat for the night, and I got what was left at the bottom of the pan."

The Bakehouse At Chelsea

★★★★★ 4.5 (320) • $$

"On bestie weekend this was our second bakery stop (thank goodness The Chrysler was opening soon as we surely would have hit every bakery in Norfolk) and upon selecting a dine in treat and take outs for the man, we sat down for a quiet snack on. It did not stay quiet for long. The goods are so good that even the cold, pelting rain couldn't keep the citizens away. Our dine in treat was what I thought was a simple coffee cake. It was not simple but it sure was good. Alot of crunch on top, but not enough cinnamon to turn you off. The cake was a moist compliment to the topping.As we snacked I could smell something baking in the oven and it smelled like bread. I gave bestie a blow by blow of what happening in the kitchen til I finally told her we weren't leaving til I found out what it was: focaccia bread!! I asked the young lady how long before it was ready and she gave me the food news of only 11 minutes. I immediately stopped dining on my coffee cake so I would have room for it. My husband spent 3 years in Italy courtesy of the government and almost every morning I would get up at 4 to walk our Rottie. My reward for leaving our 4th floor walk up was fresh focaccia. While the focaccia here wasn't like what you would get in Italy, it was delicious too. We chose to get ours brushed with butter and parmesan. Bestie, hubby and I ate on it for 2 days! It was big and tasty! The other 2 bakery items I brought home were the almond croissant (OMG good!! Do NOT pass it up) that looked incongruous amongst all the other pretty pastries but was so sweet, airy and perfect. I wish I had bought more of those. The other was the Pan Au Raisan roll. This thing was so good I bet even my raisan hater hubby would have eaten it.This is one of the things I dislike about living in the country. Then again, if we lived in Norfolk I'd be bigger than our house out here in the country!"

"Meat Stromboli was awesome! Not overcooked or greasy. Soft crust, great sauce, fresh ingredients- it is my go to guilty pleasure and the price is perfect!"

Wasserhund Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.2 (348) • $$

"When I'm in the Hilltop area around lunch time, I like to stop by Wasserhund Brewing for some of their incredible pizza. I know what you're thinking, what does a brewery know about making good pizza? As it turns out, quite a lot..,I recently discovered that they use the same yeast that they use to make their beer, they use it in their pizza dough. That is the secret to their magic.If you love good craft style beer and excellent pizza, check out Wasserhund Brewing. You'll be happy that you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local restaurant community."

"Delicious pizza! I had kind of a long wait for a phone order, but they were backed up from a large order. Garlic knots were very good as well!"

Bodacious Pizza & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (285) • $$

"Fab lunch experience. Quick and fair priced with veggie options. Best of all...thin crust fire oven style pizza was delicious. Double fried tater tots clogged my arteries, TOTally worth it though. Staff were friendly and attentive. Shared parking lot."

Papa's Greek Family Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (316) • $$

"On vacation, and after a long cold morning of outdoor hiking, my daughter decided she wanted to try and find a greek restaurant. She had a taste for something in particular and this place had it. This is a typical looking strip mall cafe, but they have embraced the Grecian vibe and it was clean and roomy. We had the place to ourselves (it was a cold Monday afternoon), but there was a constant carry out business going on. Service was great of course, since we had the waiter all to ourselves. We ordered Spanakopita (my daughter's craving) and grape leaves off the appetizer menu and then split a gyro. All very good, tasty and authentic. I recommend this place for a casual meal and I would visit again if I'm ever in the neighborhood."

Cogans Pizza Ghent

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (482) • $$

"The service here is the greatest! I'm visiting the area and I needed late night pizza. I can tell you within 60 seconds of entering this establishment that Morgan and Bobby are employees who provide outstanding service to the community! It is refreshing to have this type of experience now days as its usually lost in translation with this generation! I hope they are getting paid their worth! This can easily be my go to happy hour if I lived here! Pizza was delicious!There was another bartender last night that was absolutely disgusting, he could have ruined this review but because the other two employees treated me so wonderful, he was eliminated from this review. He should be working the back and not at the bar with his attitude though...."

New York Deli & Pizza Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (300) • $$

"The food was tasty...The organization of getting the food to each person was a sloppy mess. We waited over an hour to receive a pizza pie and a sub; based on the orders being called as each item was ready instead of calling orders when full orders were ready.If Gordon Ramsay was eating there he would have shut it down. Again food tastes, great. But, with the ridiculous wait time we ended up taking the second part of our order to go as a one hour wait for a basic sub was truly unacceptable. If we ever go back we would order al carte to make sure we were not forgotten.And on top of it the manager was chatting with a friend at a table having probably no idea what was going on in the kitchen."

Benny Damato's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (342) • $

"Whew. I'm not sure what all the rave is about. But all their greatness must have been hiding in a really good spot because I sought and definitely couldn't find it. The place itself is really shabby, small & hot inside. The slices of pizza are definitely mammoth size. The taste unremarkable. Canned & bottled drinks are available for purchase in the fridge. Honestly, everything was looking like it's been through some hard times. While I'm thankful they had a restroom, it was questionable. If you have ever been to hardcore/punk shows you know they aren't held in the best shape venues, (like King's Head back in the day) their restroom was almost at that level. The redeeming factor was the presence of paper towels, soap & running water.It was so hot & stifling inside that we sat at the high table outside where it was more comfortable. That too could use some TLC. The pizza itself is not that great, it wasn't memorable. The young lady working was pleasant. I'm not even sure how she tolerated working in that heat."

Bubba's 33

★★★★☆ 3.7 (350) • $$

"My neighbor raved about the wings at Bubba's 33 so while in the area, I stopped in and tried them out for myself. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the host and were seated right away. Carter, our server, was super nice and since it was our first time, she informed us of all the house made items that they make and how they pride themselves on making as much of their food from scratch.Since I knew I wanted wings, we quickly ordered the Bubba's Famous Traditional Wings, 18 count, which is served with 2 sauces. The Raspberry Chipotle sauce definitely stood out and Carter mentioned it was a sweet and smoky flavor but we decided on the Honey Chipotle BBQ and Hot sauce along with a half order of the Onion Rings.The Onion Rings came out first and they were the best I'd ever had from a restaurant, hands down. They were coated with seasoning and were very light and crispy! The half order only came with 6 rings but next time, I definitely will be ordering more. The wings were served soon after and were delicious!!!! The Honey Chipotle BBQ was sweet but had a wonderful, smoky, BBQ taste and the Hot wasn't like any other Hot wing I've ever tasted. The sauce was perfection! I love a nicely, coated, saucy wing and they did not disappoint! The wings were incredible!!! Definitely check out Bubba's 33 if you're in the mood for some absolutely amazing wings and great service."

"Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's go!!..Brooklyn NY is my birth place and if you know anything about NYC then you know it's the pizza Mecca!.. This place comes the closest to NY pizza that I have tasted."

Olde Towne Pizza and Pasta

★★★★☆ 4 (286) • $$

"I decided to stop here after shopping at the outlets and took a look at the menu beforehand. I was happy to see they served stromboli. I ordered the meat lovers stromboli and some drinks. I didn't want too much due to it being lunchtime. This stromboli was surprising big and full of meat, cheese, and sauce. You don't need any extra sauce but they will give you a side of sauce if you ask. The cheese and sauce were delicious. I wish this place was in Richmond so I could visit more often. Service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant was super cute with unique decor such as the wine racks on the walls above the lamps."

Gino's Pizzeria by Maurizio

★★★★☆ 3.7 (321) • $$

"Gino's is an institution in the Red Mill area. Everyone who lives around there knows about it and knows the owner is a local. It's much larger inside than you'd think - a bar area and two large seating areas as well as a small patio off to the side of the entrance doors. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Their sandwiches are super solid. I love their Italian hoagies and subs and I've been here a few times for lunch specifically for a sandwich. My husband got the gyro and it was huge.You can choose any sub warm or cold and can add lettuce and tomato if you'd like which I always do.They're huge and easy enough to share or take half home to enjoy later. Pizza is very good and some of the best in the area and they have a huge menu with all the pasta dishes your heart could desire! They also serve cheesecake and cannolis inside."

Granby Street Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (305) • $$

"We stopped in for a slice of pizza while exploring downtown. The staff here were friendly and there was a good amount of seating with a casual vibe. My bf ordered a slice of cheese and I ordered their Italian flag slice which was Bianca style with tomatoes and spinach. We also ordered a side of meatballs to share. I wasn't a big fan of the meatballs; they were on the dry side for my preference and I didn't care for the sauce. My bf enjoyed them. The pizza was really good! We tried each others and liked both slices. The cheese slice was one of the better plain cheese slices I've had! The flavor was good, it was a perfect amount of cheese, and the crust was on point. The Italian flag was yummy and I loved the spinach and juicy tomato bites. Prices were inexpensive as well! We debated getting one more slice even though we were full because we liked it so much haha. I am happy we tried this spot and would definitely return!"

Windy City Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (251) • $$

"We've been coming here for years, and somehow I've never reviewed it. This could be for the best though, as my early reviews lacked substantive detail or information. You come here for the pizza. That deep dish Chicago style pizza. The other pizzas do look good, and even tonight I heard some patrons commenting that their pizza was better than another local place that is known for great pizza. That being said, I've never ordered anything other than the deep dish. I've never been to Chicago, but from everything I've read, this pizza is the closest you'll come to true "Chicago" pizza outside of the Windy City. The other food is good, wings, gyros, etc. and I've sampled some of that, but I keep coming back for the pizza. It has a 45 minute cook time, so there's been a time or two I've called ahead to order it so we wouldn't be waiting. The walls are covered with all things Chicago. Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks are well repped. Pics of the skyline, local Chicago products help to make you feel like you're in a pizza place in the upper Midwest. The service is good, just keep in mind that it's a small family run joint. You may wait a beat or two, but they always give great and friendly service."

Dough Boy's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (335) • $$

"Rainy Sunday - staying close by! Ran across order a cheese pizza to go and had a beer while I waited! Was in and out in 10 minutes. Cold beer! Pizza was hot and fresh! Good tasting sauce and dough was nice! Small flop but still a solid pie."

The Box Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (188) • $$

"The people here are super nice, and the food was excellent! We ordered both pasta and pizza, and everything was absolutely delicious. The four of us shared our meal, and everyone agreed--the ingredients were fresh, flavorful, clearly hand-made and the portions were decent.We stopped in to pick up our takeout right before closing, and I was impressed that the three employees greeted me by name and were incredibly friendly. While we didn't dine in, the restaurant looked great inside--rustic, clean, with a cool vibe. You could see the pizza oven, which added to the charm.The prices were reasonable, especially for such high-quality, homemade food. This is not your typical chain restaurant fare.I highly recommend this spot and can't wait for my next visit!"

Corolla Pizza & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (206) • $$

"Excellent service, location is a takeout only and food was great. We had a Sicilian meat lovers, regular crust pepperoni and Italian sub. Sub was great with well toasted bread and excellent ingredients. Sicilian was thick yet airy and crispy. I'd definitely go again."

Tony & Milena's Pizzeria

★★★★★ 4.6 (170) • $$

"The food here is fabulous and authentic Italian! I had the spaghetti and meatballs with fresh bread dipped in olive oil and it was amazing! Our server was a very nice lady with an Italian accent. The decor is really cool with photos of Sophia Loren and The GodFather movies hanging on the walls. It is a hidden gem in Gloucester Point. If you're in the area definitely check this restaurant out! It looks like a pizza shop on the outside, but there's definitely so much more of a food experience on the inside."

North End Pizza

"Customer service was really good. The pizza was great. We ordered a 14" pepperoni. Plenty for 2-3 people. There's plenty of seating and room to move around on the inside. Clean environment."

Azzurri Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (180) • $$

"Azzurri's is simply the best. It's our go-to pizza place and everything on the menu is delicious. They constantly put up with my rambunctious children, the food is always fantastic, service is always super fast and friendly. I honestly can't say enough good things about this restaurant. They made several internal renovations during the Covid shutdown, and have a lovely outdoor patio seating area as well. And unlike many restaurants around here, prices haven't skyrocketed beyond belief. Tonight we got our regular cheese pizza, garlic knots, and pasta orders - kids ate everything and have been over the moon.A++++++ update for my first review of 2023!"

Fellini's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (253) • $$

"Went here as a work gathering; the workers were happy to accomadate such a large size party. They made sure we all had seats and tables together. The restaraunt interior was very unique. Its theme was "home" on the back of the menu had the story of how the owner wanted to give customers a home feel with a home cooked meal to make them feel like they were just at home. It had house lamps, cool jazzy pictures hang up all around, nice dimmed down lights. I love Italian food! I ordered the Rigatoni Pasta which I was not disappointed with (I added my own paramasan cheese all over for an extra kick) It had a light creamy sauces over the noodles, thick slices of italian sausages, and zuchinii! All really goodMy entree came with a side salad as well"

Cosmos Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (238) • $$

"Had to stray from our usual pizza option due to hours being different in the off season, but it brought us to Cosmo's which ended up being a nice surprise! We ordered two large pizzas and wings for carry out. The food was ready within 15 minutes, hot and fresh. Pizza was yummy with a really great sourdough chewy crust, toppings were fresh and flavorful, wings were large and tasty as well. Overall, this was a win and a nice discovery after coming to the area for 30+ years. We will be back!"

Ezma's Bread Box Café

★★★★☆ 4.1 (185) • $$

"Was my first time trying one of their sandwiches after hearing so much about this cafe from a coworker. I had the breadbox blt sandwich and it's probabaly the best cold cut sandwich I've had here in Virginia. I ordered to go but everyone was very welcoming to all customers and friendly as well. Will be back for sure and will recommend to others."

Mellow Mushroom Virginia Beach

★★★★☆ 4.4 (160) • $$

"We absolutely loved this pizza place! As we walked up to it, we were impressed by that beautiful globe on their outside patio. Then, we walked into the restaurant to see a large, inviting, modern space. The service is also excellent! We were so glad that we could pick 2 totally different flavors in halves on a same pizza. We got a Holy Shitaki/meat lovers. Everything about that pizza is delicious, the crust, sauce and toppings! They also have many option in drinks. The blue berry lemonade is very refreshing. We will definitely be back!"

Ray's NY Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (191) • $

"LOVE Ray's! What a gem of a find in Virginia Beach!This New-York-style, hand-tossed pizza joint makes their dough fresh daily, and you can really taste it!We got their lunch special, which came with a drink; I had the Vegetarian (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives, and tomatoes), while the hubs had the Cheese - the crust was thin, crisp, and yummy, and the toppings and the cheese were super plentiful! These slices came out piping hot, and I am just drooling, thinking about their deliciousness!Besides pizza, they also have various appetizers, salads, pasta and entrees, calzones, stromboli, cold and hot subs, and daily lunch specials.The staff were friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of seats to dine-in.Can't wait to go back!+tasty NY-style pizza!+dough made fresh daily!+daily lunch specials!+friendly staff!+plenty of parking in the strip plaza lot"

Zia Marie

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (255) • $$

"We eat here quite a bit. Usually just the two of us but when we bring the family, we order several dishes and eat family style! We found that the food seemed better at this location compared to our visits to their older location. Some people seem to complain that the noise level is loud but it doesn't bother us. The service can be slow at times but I have to say the FOOD IS WORTH THE WAIT. I am originally from Chicago so I have to say are THE authentic Italian food in the area. Our absolute favorite dish that we always order is the Shrimp Ala Vodka!! The shrimp is cooked perfect and tender and the sauce and pasta is superb. We also like the veal chop parmigiana, fried ravioli, and fried mozzarella. Their caprese salad is huge enough to share. You can never go wrong with their spaghetti and meatballs. Their red gravy is so good! They will have a different kind of cheesecake each time we visit and of course our favorite cannoli. You will get bread with butter but we love dipping it in olive oil and Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. They have a large wine list and delicious cocktail menu. Also, they are just as generous with their takeout dishes as they are if you dine in! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Make reservations!"

Baba's Pizzeria

★★★★★ 4.5 (138) • $$

"Baba's Pizzeria is located in the shopping center across the street from Target in Edinburgh. We've dined in and ordered take out, both on busy Friday nights.- Parking - Center lot.- TLC -It's a family run business and the service was friendly and courteous.- Noms - NY Style Combo Pizza (4 toppings) - pepp, sausage, green peppers, jalapenosMeat amore pizza - pepp, sausage, bacon hamThe pizzas have a good amount of toppings and I really liked the crust. Eggplant Parmigiana - comes with garden salad (iceberg, romaine, shredded carrots, red onion, green pepper, raw mushrooms, shredded mozz cheese, olives) with choice of dressing (we chose balsamic) and garlic bread. The eggplant parm is two pieces of breaded eggplant topped with marinara and cheese. Spaghetti comes on the side. The sauce was tasty and tasted homemade. It was quite delicious and a generous serving.- Kids - I know I've mentioned this before in previous reviews, but I really dislike how restaurants give crappy options for kids, like kids menus are an afterthought. However, kids menus at Italian restaurants often reflect the same offerings for adults, because who doesn't love pastas, so it's a win here. My kids have had their pizzas, alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, all winners both according to my kids and us! Baba's Pizzeria is a great option for before/after shopping or the movies or simply a takeout meal on a busy night!Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!"

Chesapeake Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (190) • $$

"I'm visiting family from NYC, and they took me out to Chesapeake Pizza. If you have a nostalgia for the 80s Pizza Huts, this is the closest thing around, but there are no juke boxes or Arcade games. Pizza is fresh and delicious. Also, we arrived on a Friday night and the place was packed. The waiting list moved fairly well and the staff who work here are very friendly, helpful and professional. The only reason I'm not 5 starting them is because they only take cash."
