50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Richmond

“Caught up with an old friend I hadn’t seen since around ’95/’96 over lunch on 6/17/2025. I’m not usually a downtown Richmond person—city crowds just aren’t my thing—but I’m really glad he suggested this spot. I made the drive from King William, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was fantastic, and the laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to reconnect. I had the pork carnitas with a Caesar side salad—super flavorful, and the pork was incredibly tender. The Caesar dressing? Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’d love to know if it was homemade or store-bought, because I need it in my life! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxed and cool meeting spot. I’m already planning to explore more RIC gems soon!“

“Fantastic and warming atmosphere“

“OMG! Amazing Pizza and the hostess was so helpful! The individual sized pizza, at 11inches sounds like a medium… but you may not want to share this perfectly crusted pizza! Perfect family night on the patio. Thank you Fire and Hops Pizza Co.“

“We just moved back to Richmond from New England and have been searching in vain for good pizza until now. Zorch is the winner by a mile!“

“All pizzas begin with the dough. Mike uses premium ingredients to make an awesome crust. Next comes the sauce and toppings. All premium unlike the big chains. Just ordered a large deluxe for my tummy and delicious as always. Very consistent. Cheers to Mike and his crew.“

“If you live in downtown Richmond Virginia , this is the only spot you should be ordering from. Extremely good people that care about the food they put out. Can’t recommend enough!“

“**The Mary Angela Special** is, without a doubt, the best-tasting pizza I've had in a long time. From the very first bite, it delivers on every level—starting with an exceptional crust that’s perfectly crisp on the outside and light, airy, and chewy within. Each ingredient tastes incredibly fresh, as if hand-picked just before hitting the oven. The balance of flavors is spot-on—savory, rich, and satisfying without being heavy. This pizza isn’t just good—it’s a reminder of how amazing pizza *can* be when done right!“

“Wow!!! This was my first order with Zombie pizza, and the pizza exceeded my expectations. The pizzas were ready before I had requested; communication was excellent; the pizzas were works of art, and the taste was impeccable. I will order again.“

“One of my fav spots in Carytown!“

“Visit today 7/18/25 at 5 pm , party of 3 people. We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in the door! Food was great, atmosphere felt authentic. Our lady who served us was so sweet and kind. Empanadas and pork dishes highly recommend! We will definitely be back and recommend! Parking lot and easy to find.“

“Great pizza!! Knowledgeable and friendly staff.“

“Great lunch spot. The pizza was incredibly delicious. Service was a little slow but acceptable. Ill be back for sure!! Parking can be challenging too so circling the block for street parking is recommended. The flood line is cool to see inside too.“

“Meatball pizza! We also got the mozzarella balls. Real mozzarella, folks! 🤤🤤🤤“

“Their pizza is great! Definitely reminiscent of the type of boardwalk slices you would get in Atlantic City or Seaside Heights in New Jersey. Nicely done!“

“Mike’s Pizza & Grill is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel right at home with their friendly and welcoming attitude. The atmosphere is cozy and has a real homey vibe. The food is absolutely fantastic — a solid 5/5! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The burgers are worth mentioning — they’re big, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pizza is great too! Plus, the prices are super affordable, making it a great spot for families or anyone on a budget. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and great people!“

“It's CiCis, what else do you expect. Pay a fair price for AYCE Pizza and more. It's not New Yorks best but you get what you pay for. Restaurant was very clean, as well as restrooms. Buffet table was always full and moved quickly. Service was exceptional. Manager walk around to check on customers. Very good experience.“

“Me and my other half visited Francisco’s Pizzeria not that long ago absolutely loved the variety of food especially our favorites. Of course we got one of each and one or two to go will definitely be back. The food is absolutely amazing.“

“Great food, wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere.“

“As New Yorkers we really know our pizza and Italian cuisine. We tend to have high standards of expectation. That Is why we were pleasantly surprised when we visited with Apollo’s Pizza. The restaurant was highly recommended to us by local Richmond friends who, like ourselves, are seasonal New Yorkers who sought out the best local “New York Style” Pizza. Our experience was outstanding. First, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the professionalism of the staff was refreshing after a long day of work. We were welcomed with open arms by the owner who really made us feel very welcome. The menu offered quite a selection and variety of authentic Italian dishes. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, flavorful and stunning to look at. The ingredients were fresh and the portions were abundant. I highly recommend visiting this special restaurant and trying their brick oven pizzas which are available with an assortment of toppings. The great thing is we can also order out on nights when all we want to do is go home to relax. This really is an awesome place.“

“Enjoyed a great day with amazing food and wonderful service! Thank you for being dog friendly, that was one reason we came. We will absolutely be back!!“

“La pizza es completamente deliciosa, el servicio , las instalaciones 🙌🙌“

“Best New York style pizza in the area. The pepperoni is genuinely good and has FLAVOR, not just grease. The cheese is also pretty good by itself. I can't speak for the other toppings but you have to go out of your way to get good pepperoni so I would imagine the other toppings are similarly good.“

“Been Going to Albert Pizzeria since the Glory Days! A Southside Staple where You can get a Pretty Pie like This‼️“

“Our Family Favorite since 1980's when my mother brought me my 1st sub. And my Grandson had his 1st slice of New York Style Pizza today“

“I took my grandson there for a birthday party and the kids had so much fun!!!🎂🎁🎉“

“Absolutely fantastic Vegan Food and super friendly staff! Great selection of vegan food, pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. Love it!!!“

“Do not underestimate this spot! 🔥 I was visiting town and took a recommendation on a whim- pizza is rarely bad, right?

Its also rarely this good! Nice pricing considering the sizing, and definitely made it to my bookmarks. It was quiet inside with a short wait, bathroom was easily accessible and the food was amazing 🔥“

“If you're looking for a quick, afforable and delicious lunch or dinner than this is your place! 6 toppings for $7.99, easily feeds two hungry adults (confession, I ate it all myself).“

“Cannot recommend El Pope enough. We have eaten here at least ten times by now. The shrimp appetizer is incredible. I have dreams about it! Excellent place to go if you are a large party. The staff is so incredibly kind and fun. Prices are very very fair and although sometimes the food can take a bit, it’s always worth the wait!“

“Easily one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Everything is full of flavor down to the sauce. It was like $20 for a pizza and breadsticks. It was hot and fresh. They are kind. The place is old, but really clean. There isn’t much space for eating there, but honestly it’s so good it doesn’t matter. Eat it in the car if you can’t wait.“

“They have great food is all I gotta say! Go see yourself!!! I'm pretty sure you will give it a 10 after you get done eating there!“

“drool worthy garlic nots and they where only $1. calzone was good. better than most I've had and it was only $5. you really can't beat it“

“We had an incorrect door dash delivery from this Pizza Hut and when we notified this establishment, we were met with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. They quickly sent us our order and couldn’t have been kinder. We will definitely be ordering from here again!!!“

“Amazing food with great vegan options. Not vegan but thought that was pretty cool. Had the Everybody Wants Some and was blown away. Wings, Spaghetti and Pizza all amazing. Made to order, good portion sizes and even better prices. Will be coming back.“

“" THE BEST " Plain & Simple“

“As someone who has a gluten allergy it’s hard to find quick food options but I had a great experience at this location of &Pizza. Abbie assisted me when my friend and I went in. I asked her for gluten free crust and as soon as I told her that, she asked if it was an allergy, I said yes and she proceeded to change her glove and wipe her pizza station to ensure I was not exposed to gluten. I was very appreciative of that! Very good customer service at this location!“

“Everything was great! Customer service is awesome. I didn’t have to wait long for my pizza. The pizza here is always hot and tasty. The pizza had the right amount of sauce, cheese and the thickness was perfect. It was the right char for a pizza.“

“Love it. I used to come here all the time as a kid, and as an adult I still have a good time“

“Love this place, grew up with the Southside location, just realized this one delivers to me. Only gotten delivery, and it's old school with Call in only. But it's also old school with no ridiculous delivery fees. Pricing is way better than any pizza chain (And any regular NY pizza place in the area), and Much better Pizza also. On a standard large pizza delivery you're looking at saving close to 10 bucks then if you go somewhere else.“

“I came in for lunch while working in the city and wasn’t disappointed.

The slice of pizza I got was good and the sub was great. The fries that came with the sub were top tier, probably the best fries of any pizza place I’ve been to.
I received excellent customer service. The staff were very friendly. The dining area was clean which is always refreshing to see.
The menu is pretty varied, there’s definitely something for everyone. My only regret is I wasn’t able to try everything on it in one sitting!

All in all, I give it 5 stars. Quick service, great food and I know for a fact I’ll be back to eat there next time I’m near the city.“

“I am a grandmother visiting from out of town. I came to my son’s house. I called Frank’s and another place and couldn’t get anybody to help me deliver. Deliver pizza to my grandkids and then I called Jojo’s, and the gentleman couldn’t have been kinder set up my delivery took my payment over the phone, including my tip, felt like old-fashioned service not all this new stuff with Uber eats and all that other stuff can’t wait for the food to get here. I will definitely order from them again next time I come I love kindness and they were wonderful.“

“The food, as always was incredible and a good value - I had the baked shrimp Chesapeake, with tons of crab and shrimp. Delicious! The veggies were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Hanover Tomato Caprese salad was fresh and light. My only complaint was that the air conditioning units (not central air) were not working in some areas, which no one seemed surprised about. The banquet room in the front was much cooler but they said they wouldn't seat anyone there even though it was open that night. Leaving customers uncomfortable in a hot dining room when you have a large banquet room that's cool, does not feel like putting the customer first.“

“Amazing wings, pizza, and service“

“nice place good food decent price fast big selections“

“We have had takeout several times - pasta, pizza and more. The food has been consistently good!“

“Tiramisu is the best in RVA.“

“One of the best social gathering places in RVA. Love Scott’s Addition.“

“We are business neighbors of Joe's pizza and a review is long over due. As a catering company, we spend so much time cooking for others and never for us! So when lunch time rolls around Joe's is our 'go-to'. Everything is ALWAYS tasty and portions generous. The size of a slice of pizza blew my nephews mind. Haha. Our order is filled quickly and accurately every single time. And the icing on the cake is that they hand deliver our order to our business so that we can get back to work while it is being prepared. The family that runs it is also always a pleasure to interact with. Hats off to Joe's Pizza!“
