This is our number one favorite place in Virginia Beach. It's actually one of the main reasons we go Virginia Beach, so we ended up going twice over Memorial Day weekend. The lasagna and meatballs are absolutely fantastic read more

GOOD: The Pizza! BAD: Nothing to say with this delivery order I can't tell you how blown away I was by this Virginia Beach pizza. 19 Italian Bistro put out some of the best pizza I've had in a good while, and I own that I am a total snob with pizza (highly partial to NY and the NJ boards). This pizza was great - flavorful, the cheese had a good saltiness to it, the sauce popped, and where 80% of the others get it wrong, the crust was a solid, crispy diving board - no limp noodle, no doughy chewy crust. This Virginia Beach pizzeria has game. read more

The ceiling was leaking water on as we ate, but the food was great, really good pizza. The service was friendly

Small shop. If I was to eat there again, I would probably order take out as it was not really a place staffed with waiters and waitresses to wait on you. My daughters ordered a 6 cut pizza and it was plenty big for them. They said it was very good but greasy. My husband got a pepperoni roll which he said was also good but again very greasy. I ordered a Philly steak and cheese sub. I was surprised it was on a homemade sub roll using their dough. Because of this the meat did not go throughout the whole sub. Meat was more like steak-umm type meat. Dough was good. Not badly priced. Our bill only came to $50 which was our cheapest meal the whole trip. read more

Over the top! We are here for track so obviously pasta is a must! We visited on a cold night and upon arrival I knew it would be good--it had that Pasta feel. We were going to dine in but changed our mind and ordered at the counter. The staff BROUGHT our meal to the car without being asked!!! Above and beyond. The food was yummy and the bread was to die for! We may just be back tomorrow and maybe Saturday too! read more

I love this place. After several years I am still ordering from them. So many reasons why. They have a parking lot! If you want to check them out and don't live at the oceanfront then you can park your car for free. It's small inside and very casual. I always get delivery but tonight I went to pick it up. You can walk off the beach and stop in and get a pizza. Very casual. Prices are very reasonable and the food is good. Consistent. And if you get delivery they package it very well. The spinach roll is my favorite.....I could get it every week. The staff is very friendly and I'm pretty sure they know me by now. Definitely check them out for casual and reasonable and consistently good food. read more

The salads are fresh and made per order. The pizza crust is perfectly done with the right crispiness and thickness. The Stromboli crust was a perfect golden brown. Overall the food is great and price is reasonable and service is fast and friendly. read more

Food is fantastic! The salad tasted like veggies were straight from the garden and the small size is what other places call large. We had pizza and calzones that were delicious. I'm Not usually a fan of ny style pizza but the crust and sauce were perfect on our pie. The menu is large so we didn't get to try the pasta or subs but will next time! read more

We had amazing service and even better food! 3 had pizza and 2 had lasagna. They accidentally put white sauce on our pizza instead of red sauce so they made us another with red sauce and let us keep both, no charge. read more

Visiting the beach for boardwalk lights and decided to order their pizza. Excellent choice. We will order again

I was so disappointed. My daughter and I came in here last night to eat. No one was in there eating. We stood at the counter for 5 minutes waiting on someone to come and greet us. An African American man came from a side door, looked at us and headed to the back without saying a word to us. I thought he was going to get someone; but no. He came back to the front, looked at us, put his earbuds in, and walked away without saying a word! At this point we just left! That was so disrespectful! The employees here need to learn some customer service skills. We will not be giving this restaurant a second chance! read more

the food was delicious and brought a great taste to my mouth. i recommend the baked ziti and the garlic twists. however, it is a very slow service. love the vibe and it is a small mom and pop shop. Overall great place but order in advance. read more

This restaurant was great! We visited on a weeknight during the off season and chose to dine-in. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delivered hot and fresh. We ordered a pizza, a stromboli, and garlic knots. All three items were plentiful in size and delicious in flavor. The pizza crust was the perfect level of crispy. And, the garlic knots and stromboli looked as impressive as they tasted. I would definitely come back again. read more

We've eaten here a few times and it is always excellent. This time was delivery to our hotel during Covid. We ordered pasta marinara, chicken piccata, and chicken tenders. Delivery was so much faster than expected and everything was nicely wrapped in Saran to prevent leaks and all necessary accessories provided (utensils, plates). Chicken tenders were really crispy with good flavor. Chicken picatta was a generous portion and delicious. They did forget to include the marinara (requested on side and parm), but I called and they delivered those in a blink of an eye. The order included a nice, warm loaf of bread. Prices are very reasonable. read more

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! read more

With good reviews, we decided to give 19th St. Italian Bistro a shot, even though their were three pizza/Italian restaurants within two blocks of our hotel (35th and Atlantic). Since it was further away, we decided that delivery was the way to go. I did have an issue with the delivery person who went to the wrong hotel. I would expect that restaurants in the oceanfront area are pretty familiar with the hotels in the area, but the delivery guy was pretty lost. As for the food (pizza, penne, and salad) were all above average. Good portions for the salad and penne and freshly sliced Italian bread wrapped in foil. Despite not getting our food until about an hour after I ordered, hot items were reasonably hot. read more

This place is definitely a hole in the wall, but the food was very good and the prices were very reasonable for being at the beach. The price was good even if it hadn't been at the beach. read more

Took a beach trip over the weekend and the family wanted pizza. We got the 18" Meat Lovers pizza and an order of mild wings. It was delicious, even my mom who's not a fan of pizza loved it! Service was great, our waitress was friendly. The place is a bit small, so there's not a lot of seating, fortunately for us when we went there weren't many people there yet. read more

Thought I would give this place a try. I am both sorry and happy I did. Sorry because I was sick all night after eating the penne with "vodka sauce" & meatball dinner and happy because I now know NEVER again. The sauce wasn't at all a vodka sauce. It was more of a cheese-like something. I cannot even describe it. Definitely not anything Italian about it AT ALL. The bruschetta was beyond soggy. My delivery was quick, so I am not sure why the bruschetta was soaking wet. If you want Italian, Anna's! read more

Oh my goodness - if you're looking for something other than seafood......you've got to try this bistro! Spaghetti, lasagna, home made bread and super fresh tossed salads - all of it so very awesome! They boast home made and it's great. Worth the 1 mile walk from our hotel - back from Atlantic Avenue maybe half a block. Service great, small size seating area but enough for a crowd still. Delivery available and they seem extremely busy with that! read more

First time guests who ordered delivery from local hotel. The food was great. Wife said the chicken marsala was the best she ever tasted. My chicken parm sandwich was tasty but a little overcooked. Ordered a Caesar salad but got Greek by mistake. Wife enjoyed that also. read more

Not a bad place to visit for a good meal. Large variety from typical "pizza place" foods, like pizza, fries or mozzarella sticks, or you can get a delicious homemade Italian meal. Service is hit or miss, a few very friendly people, but in the summer, it could be a little better. A small dining room will allow you to sit down, or you can do take out or delivery. Great location right off Atlantic Ave. read more

Food and service were amazing. The house made bread was delicious. Would definitely come back! read more

Have to update this because we ordered last week and unfortunately, it wasn't as good as it was. The pizza was doughy and there wasn't a smidge of Marsala wine in the chicken Marsala we ordered. It literally tasted like chicken lo mein. Grew up eating Marsala dishes and I'm a chef and make chicken Marsala. Every so often I don't want to cook for myself so we order. Please tell your chef to use marsala wine in these dishes. It has a very distinct flavor and there was absolutely none of it in this dish. Very disappointing. I ended up throwing it out. read more

We stayed in VB, wanted pizza. It was BEYOND EXCELLENT! And I'm originally from NJ. Can't recall last time I had ANY pizza so yummy... thin crust, perfect cheese, delivered. I can't wait to order again and visit in person. read more

19 Italian Bistro - Cheese pizza, the BEST! - Sandwiches Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

My wife and I ordered takeout from here one night during our trip to Virginia Beach. Overall, I would say things were average. My wife and I split a cheese pizza, garlic knots, penne pasta, and a turkey sub. The pizza was the best part. Thin, NY style pizza with a great flavor. I would definitely order the pizza again if I came back. The crust would have been great with some homemade ranch, but it was a pretty bad tasting bottled kind. Everything else however just wasn't very good and/or was missing things. My wife's turkey hoagie did did not come with onion, which seems really odd for a sub of this sort. In fairness, we forgot to look/ask for it, but I just expected it. The sub also did not have nearly enough of the oil/vinegar dressing. The garlic knots were just ok, some of them were burnt though. The penne was also just average. read more

Always good! I have only used their take out and delivery but they are prompt and the pizza, spaghetti, meatballs and salads are excellent. They are my go to Italian delivery. read more

Fresh, plentiful and cheap! The Caprese Salad was huge! Loads of thick mozzarella slices. Children's menu was also diverse and substantial! When we were there, there was no restaurant service, only pickups, either on site or online orders. Really good deal for the money! Right off the main drag in Virginia Beach. read more

On a dreary raining Saturday evening, not many places were open for seating at Virginia Beach during the Columbus Day weekend. Fortunately, 19th Street Bistro was open for takeout only - and our choice was perfect! Great taste, flavor, and portions - I ordered lasagna - a huge slice and warm bread (crisp, hard crust and soft, moist inside - perfect to mop up the awesome sauce); my wife ordered the vegetable wrap - and like the lasagna, the portion was unexpected humongous (two wraps) and very tasty. We also ordered side Greek salad which could have been entrée portions elsewhere! We were pleasantly surprised at the portions, taste, and affordability of the great Italian cuisine. The best part? Leftovers for lunch the next day! When it opens for dine-in, you should dine there because the smallish place has a simple décor beats our hotel room. In the meanwhile, enjoy the cuisine take out or delivery. Our next visit to Virginia Beach will include a return visit or take out. read more

I ordered takeout from here to feed 4 adults for dinner. Online ordering through their website gave a discount of 5% which is nice. I received a text message that my food was ready and was walking over shortly afterwards to pick up the food. Pickup was easy. Walk up to the window at the counter and a moment later out the door. Fortunately it was not busy as I was ordering dinner on a Wednesday in the offseason. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees thinking this would feed 4 adults and it easily did. We had the chicken fettuccini and baked ziti entrees and the garlic knots and fried ravioli apps. The quantity and price of the food was on par. My favorite parts were the appetizers and highly recommend the friend ravioli. I'm not a huge fan of just pasta and sauce as an Italian dish but for our group this worked out really well. Flavor wise on the entree dishes it was a 3 rating but everything else was a 4 star. This is a perfect place to get takeout for a reasonable price and reasonable food to satisfy everyone in your party. I highly recommend the fried ravioli. Tasty, cheesy, and crispy with marinara dipping sauce. read more

I just got the best dinner from 19 Italian Bistro. So good! The marinara sauce was so good and so was the vodka sauce. Very happy with the food! read more

Tucked into the back area of a fleabag hotel ground floor...no promise whatever as beingg anywhere near worthwhile. So I read the reviews, went in after ordering ahead and waited to pick up the grub after a full day of museum stuff. I was hankering for a veal cutlet and spaghetti... I also managed to talk the Queen Bee into spaghetti and meatballs...so on the way back to our humble hotel room on the oceanfront, I ordered ahead aS per above. So in I went and waited while they made our chow to order. Place is run by a collection of Soviet refugees: Russian, Belorussian and a pair of Kazakh brothers. Russian girl told me to have a seat and brought out a large glass of ice water for me as I waited. Seemed like zip as far as time went: all done in less than 20 minutes! Meatballs was actually just one huge meatball atop a pile of a sketties and marinara. Think tennis ball size, folks! Tasty, flavorfully succulent and not dry at all! Veal cutlet was good too; not too thick or thin; right amount of sauce and mozzarella. Well made sketties with sauce and some grated romano. Free loaf of freshly baked bread alongside too! All for only $28?! Woo!! Would I choose to hang around in there regularly? No! It has all the atmosphere of an opium den with the requisite charm of a bus depot restroom. However the chow is well worth the effort of going there and taking it back to a more comfortable surrounding when your options are limited. Our options were not, though. This is just what the doctor ordered for us. Speaking for myself, at least, I'd go back and try their pizza and other stuff too. They say that dumps make the best food. In this case, at least, I find myself inclined to agree! read more

Excellent food and service. Small location but food was excellent. Came out very hot and very tasty. Highly recommend

The delivery was fast, the driver was super kind, the pizza was hot and fresh but the crust wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. However I would definitely give it another try read more

After an error the night before with our delivery, the Owner made it right, no problem! Nice to find a Restaurant that actually cares if their Customers are happy. Especially in a Vacation town where repeat business is almost a given! Delicious!!! The food arrived hot and was cooked/made to perfection. I definately recommend this place! I'm very particular about my food and this is a hit. Lasagna was enough for 2! Can't wait to try their Pizza!!! read more

Up to last night we love it here. You having to figure out a better system for ordering. We placed an on line order at 5 pm. Said it was accepted and a text that it was on its way. At 7 pm they called to say they never picked it up and if we still wanted it it would be another hour. Tell that to hungry 8 and 5 year olds. Sorry you've lost our business for good. No apology was given and no attempt to make amends. Dry poor way to do business especially as we locals keep You alive in the off seasons read more

Amazing & Fresh OMG, everything was amazing & so fresh. The chopped salad had the freshest ingredients, pizza spot on and the garlic knots came with an amazing homemade marinara sauce! All the diners around us commented on how amazing their food tasted. We will definitely be back. Great prices and huge portions. More than just a pizza joint! read more
