★★★★★ – A Hidden Gem of Nostalgia and Flavor
The staff here felt like family—so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The place has a cozy, classic vibe, complete with an old-school arcade machine (yes, even Pac-Man!). It brought back so many happy memories. I was instantly filled with nostalgia the moment I walked in.
Now let me tell you about the pizza. I came in expecting your standard greasy, foldable New York slice—but oh no. What I got instead was a gourmet surprise: crispy, crunchy crust, the perfect amount of sauce, just the right cheese ratio—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite was a treat.
This place is truly a local treasure. Great people, amazing food, and a heartwarming atmosphere. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

NEVER going there again. Went for the first time ever and had a family emergency. Told them I didn’t want my pizza because I needed to go and she made a big scene infront of other customers and only gave me 20 of my 27$ . Super rude . Not happy.

Me and my girlfriend came in for our first time to try, the lady was laying down in the booth and when we came up to order we felt rushed. She said we only have 6 slices of cheese left with little attitude. We sat at the table and waited and I asked the lady get more napkins and she grabbed the container from my hand and got another one and pushed it into my hand like what the heck. Pizza slices could be better and cooked fresher and place was not clean and food all under the tables and especially where we’re sitting and the table tops dirty as well.

I had a single slice of pizza. It was ok. I didn't like that my pepperoni was not baked with the pizza. It was just places on top, so when I picked it up to bite, all the pepperoni fell off.

The lady behind the counter was great friendly and helpful. We had veal cutlet sandwiches. The bread was fresh and delicious but we were not at all happy with the veal, it was a slab of compressed veal with pizza sauce on it.

I've lived here in Culpeper for more than 12 years, and am ashamed to admit I went to Pete's for the first time tonight. Pete and his wife were extremely friendly, talked with us, and we're very kind to our son. Two other customers came in while we were waiting for our order and they both seemed to be patrons of the place, because they both had a lengthy friendly conversation with Pete. My son kept exchanging dollars for quarters for the claw machine, and at one point, put a dollar in the machine and it ate it. Pete came out to look at the machine and gave my son quarters for the mishap. Pete and his wife are super nice people, and we really enjoyed the pizza. It was well made, great crust, plenty of cheese, and a very good robust rich sauce. I will definitely return in the future to support their business. Thank you Pete's pizza!
My husband discovered this pizzeria about a month ago. We are from New York and have lived here since 2007. We have tried numerous pizzerias all over the place and I have to say this one is the best!!! Kudos Pete’s pizza!!!

Best pizza in town!!! And the steak and cheese is great too! Local family owned!

Don’t let the negative reviews keep you from great pizza! The pizza here is great! We almost didn’t visit, but are so thankful we did! This is a no fluff place, with a “hole in the wall” vibe. The pizza was honestly, the best pizza in this town. Crust was fantastic with great flavor, sauce was great with hints of basil, and the cheese was perfect. Not a thing wrong. Quit bashing this place, as if you could do it better. Instead be nice, and if you’ve never been — it’s totally worth it. To the owners — we came because of the negative reviews. Glad we did! First timers and we’ll be back and will further encourage others! Thank you for great pizza!

Family shop. Mostly serve yourself. Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Simple Pepperoni Pizza but it was soooo good.
Great pizza!
