Pungo Pizza & Ice Cream

Anyone hungry? It is well worth the drive from VA Beach or wherever you are staying.The previous reviewers have motivated us to hit the road and try this place out. You know, they were right. For some imagined reason, I had a more commercial building in mind. It looked like a converted house, with plenty of parking.To the food. We had the irrestible garlic knots, they are the size of softballs, no kidding. We ordered 6 to start, hot and crispy crust and inside a delightful steamy dough, bathed in a garlicky sauce, at least 1/2 deep in the serving plate. These came with a homemade marinara sauce.My husband ordered the meatball sub. It came out toasted and sauced with mozzarella and a bag of chips.I had the nerve to order the large meatlovers pizza, note: homemade crust, on the thin side.The sauce was excellent all together it made a lasting impression. This restaurant is larger than it looks. In the midway behind the main room is additional seating, and just below that is an arcade, tastefully done for kids of all ages. There is also more seating on the enclosed porch entryway.The service was excellent.

I rarely come to this neck of Virginia Beach, but this place would be the reason I come back here more often. I usually like to order what a place is best known for, and those garlic knots - omg - they are what dreams are made of in garlic butter pools of deliciousness. I did not expect the order of 6 knots to be so big (picture each the size of baseballs). Painted fresh garlic butter, crispy, crunchy on the outside; soft, airy on the inside. It took all self control not to finish them. My son ordered a calzone; I ordered an Italian stromboli. Both with that amazing, crispy outside yet light inside dough, and plenty of marinara on the side. Also ginormous, they and the garlic knot leftovers went in a pizza box. Another sleeper that hit me was their chocolate peanut butter pie. I was expecting a dense sliver of pie, but no - it was an actual pie with a light, airy peanut butter-chocolate mousse, peanut butter graham cracker crust, whipped cream and hard shell chocolatey topping. It hit the high notes of salty-sweet and airy yet crackly texture. Again, I had to hold back to not finish it. All of these items came out fresh and timely; another plus. The ambiance is like a little mom and pop shop. Not fancy, but that adds to the charm. The servers were also prompt, refilling our drinks, taking away our plates and checking on us regularly. We will certainly be back to enjoy this place again and again.

Our favorite pizza joint! Staff is young so service is hit or miss, but love coming here for pizza and video games and ice cream. They make a decent gluten free pizza too!

Checked this place to see what was all of the rave about. The place looks small from the outside, but it is pleasantly large. We were seated towards the back by the game machines. We had Carmen as our server and she was SUPER nice and so attentive towards our table. I wish every server was as nice as she was to us. We ordered the appetizer sampler and everything was great. The girls loved the Mac and cheese bites. The hubs got a calzone and he enjoyed it. The girls split a pizza roll (it comes with 4 big pieces) I ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was very tasty. My husband ordered the brownie sundae and ate every bite. We also ordered an ice cream cone, regular cheesecake and a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. The cheesecake were homemade and they were delicious. We drove from Norfolk and it was worth the trip.

The food is great and the staff is nice. Our family patronizes this establishment often!

Good pizza, service was a little slow at times but they were busy as it was a Saturday night. Overall a pleasant experience and would return.

Made it back to this little pizza place with big pizza pie flavor and delicious ice cream of course . Great friendly service as always and sorry for got a pic of the ice cream but it was delicious

I'd like to update this review since I've never been more disappointed. ROACHES. I'm sure I have your attention now... dining for lunch today we had a big roach crawl its way to the neighboring table. Nobody saw but us, so I went and grabbed a waitress to try and keep it discreet since our lunch was already ruined, why ruin everyone else's. The waiter stepped on it, picked it up, and threw it away. I can't even comment on how the food was because our appetite was absolutely destroyed. The games in the arcade don't work and are really expensive for what you get. I think the bubble gum machine hasn't been changed since 2005. Service was mediocre for sure. A lot of younger teenage girls just hanging out and not being attentive... such a shame it's gone downhill that much!

My family and I love this place. We haven't had a poor experience here; until today. We ordered 2 calzones and a fry. The buffalo chicken calzones cheese wasn't even melted AT ALL. Shredded cheese all throughout with hardly any chicken. Also, the meatloaves Stromboli we ordered was very skimped on the meat as well. We hope our next visit here is a lot better than this one .

Will absolutely never ever go back to Pungo Pizza.I grew up in Virginia Beach and always loved the garlic knots, pizza, and atmosphere. And Pungo Pizza just lost my family's business for life. My 2year old daughter has a severe anaphylaxis allergy to peanuts. Pungo Pizza said they CANNOT guarantee that any of their food would not be cross contaminated with peanuts.We brought her dominoes pizza so she could still eat pizza with the rest of our family. We were asked to leave and remove the outside food as it would have been a health code violation. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals with severe food allergies should be given special consideration and allowed to bring in outside food. In 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that it may be reasonable for someone with a medically diagnosed food allergy or diet disability to bring their own food into a restaurant.When it comes to giving a local business my money or my daughter's life, I will choose my daughter's life every. single. time.
