Chicho's Pizza

Visited my old home, Virginia Beach, again this weekend! This is a local's favorite! It's a sports bar. And the staff always know everyone!There's always something fun going on. From all types of live music, to DJs playing the jams, to karaoke and trivia, you can find fun here. Even more when the weather is warm.The wings are great, but the pizza is still my favorite pizza hands down anywhere... it's the sauce. See for yourself!

Okay, I'm sad to write my first 1 star review. Honestly, I have never heard a good thing about Chicho's. I had family in town who wanted to give it a shot. I want to start with service. It was poor. They didn't have silverware ready for us, and we were told it will take awhile to be folded. No water refills. The waitress didn't check up on us. I dunno, just not good. The ambiance was okay, nothing special. The food. We got the lumpia, and everything about it was wrong. The wrapper is too thick, it's not fried well. The worst of all, the meat inside the lumpia was not cooked. Had to send it back. Like oof. Honestly worst lumpia I ever had, and lowkey a disgrace. The cheese bread was okay. One of our pizza's was late because the cook put a hole in the first one? I dunno, that's what we were told. The dough was also borderline not cooked all the way. The pizza is just basic pizza. The best thing we had were the fries which were actually pretty good. The green onions and sauce drizzle with a crunchy fry was super yummy. Unfortunately, I wouldn't go here again. I would rather buy a pizza from a typical delivery place. I'm not quite sure why there are so many Chicho's in the area.

(Slices of pizza on the Virginian Atlantic - 2 of 2)I was told about several pizza places and Chicho's was one of them. There are several locations in the Hampton Roads area, and this is the one closest to the action at Pacific and 28th. Unlike Miami Beach, the density drops quite a bit once slightly inboard from the ocean and, as such, they have their own parking lot.I went in and inquired about slices which they had and were in the $3 to $4 range. I wanted a pepperoni and cheese slice. I was reading their printed menu or poster board and it mentioned that these slices would be slightly spicy. I asked about this. The hostess, who turned out to be my server, said that they were "not aggressively spicy" and that kids ate them. That's a clever construct to describe their taste, leading me to wonder if this young lady was a William and Mary or UVa grad. I'm kidding. However, she was very spirited and seemed to enjoy and be very adept at interacting with the public.The spiciness of the pizza was on the mild side, although it came on via its aftertaste, and this required that I order a soft drink with it to cool things down. It was around happy hour time (thus, for me, this was a lunch-dinner situation) and my soft drink cost about what their drink specials did, meaning about the same as the price of that slice of pizza. I'm still at 4 stars.Chicho's automatically adds 18% to all bills, so that seems to interpolate the various tipping strata we are now seeing. I didn't mind that. However, I forked over $10, sat there finishing up my soft drink, possibly even getting a refill for the road, and about 50 cents that was due me was never returned. It's not about 50 cents, but about giving me the option of whether I wanted to leave above and beyond the included 18% tip rather than have them decide for me! I didn't say anything.Let me get to the name Chicho. This is a pizza place and an Italian joint and it appears that it got its start in the late '60s. Chicho is not an Italian name or word, but most likely a phonetic rendition of the Italian moniker "Ciccio." But, hey, you know how it is. Anglophones have a tough time with a "hard c," except for maybe when it's cello or ciao. So, what is one of the world's most beautiful languages gets bastardized for the sake of convenience. Maybe Chacho's in Houston connected with Chicho's in Virginia Beach and said, "Have your people get in touch with my people."Thus, for not returning my change more so than for the name which is not a spelling you'd see in the boot country, Chicho's in Va Beach slips to 3 stars. It's a solid enough 3 stars, though. Note that they have an outdoor patio, that you can check to see when they have their specials, and that it has quite a following.

Standard greasy pizza joint. Pizza was good, however the wait was ridiculous. There is an event in town but because of their automated order system, nobody told us about the 30 minute wait time to get two pizzas to go.

Visiting Virginia Beach for a jazz festival. Arrived a day early. The hotel restaurant closed at 10 for food. Hostess at Champs recommended Chicho's. She said it was affordable & open late. Took a Uber & arrived in 5 minutes. When you walk in there is a take out section. Go to the next door & you enter the dining room. We were seated right away at the outside area. The bar had a nice vibe. Waitress took our order. Drinks were strong but in a 8 oz glass. Food was good and hot. Order cheese sticks that came with choice of regular or hot marinara. We chose hot marinara. It was good & spicy. Ordered pizza slices which was only available with spicy marinara. It was different but good. The pizza dough was soft and delicious. The music was good. Would definitely return again.

We had the greek pizza and it was phenomenal! The sauce was a garlic olive oil instead of tomato based and it was on point! Great price, chill atmosphere, and friendly waitress! Would go back again next time we are feeling pizza.

I'm from Philadelphia and I would come back for this food. Plus the bartender Jess is beautiful and nice and the music creates a really cool fun vibe

They only serve whole pizzas but they are personal size. The pizza was okay. Just any typical pizza place nothing special. Service was quick. The restaurant had sports on and was nice. Great for families with kids who love pizza!

We love Chicho's pizza and Trivia nights on Thursday's are the best! It's always a good time.

Ordered pizza for delivery and was told 1hr. So i called back after 1 hour and 15 and was told delivery driver just left. I live 3 mins away. After another 15 min i called and was hung up on. In other words, NO PIZZA. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET PIZZA FROM CHICHOS!!
