Apollo's was hands down the worst pizza experience I have ever had, and that's really saying something considering I have been to some pretty crummy spots in my day. For starters, even getting here is a pain since Apollo's is in an isolated part of the shopping center parking lot. Once I arrived and met up with some other folks I was dining with, the staff clearly looked displeased that they had actual paying customers around, and continued to act with disdain (and clearing our food before it was done) throughout our visit. Take it from someone who will eat pretty much any pizza, from the highest culinary offerings to the deep discount Aldi pie: Apollo's has somehow managed to make something so inedible that I would not accept this food for free. If it were quite cheap that might make it a bit more approachable for some, but their prices aren't even reasonable. Some other folks in our group got sandwiches and they somehow looked worse than even 7/11 pre-wraps. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this place remains in business, though my guess is they have a dedicated delivery audience who lack tastebuds or proper frames of reference for what food should taste like or the texture it should have. Appalling in every sense of the word and I cannot recommend against it strongly enough. Overall: 1.0 star --- Pros: - You don't have to pay to leave, because I gladly would have if I had to. Cons: - Bad parking, ugly restaurant interior. - Unpleasant service, workers just seemed like they were miserable to see someone who wanted to patronize their business. All the more amazing if these were the owners, why so angry? - Not sure how you make pizza taste and feel gross but they found a way. Ditto for the sandwiches. - Prices weren't even reasonable. If I wanted pizza of questionable quality, I would get Cici's for the same price and at least get some sticky rolls for my trouble. read more

Pizza tasted like it sat out for hours. I went in for a slice. 1 slice. Still ended up waiting 15 minutes. It just wasn't fresh. The dough tasted like wet cardboard. I had high hopes due to a social media recommendation. Perhaps I'll give it another shot so it will be fresh outta the oven next time. read more

Loved this spot! The garlic knots were buttery and soft, the cheese pizza had that perfect New York-style flavor, and the mozzarella sticks were gooey and crispy. Food came out fast, and the service was amazing--the waitress was super attentive. Cozy vibe and great overall experience! read more

Ordered the taco pizza, mozarella sticks, and tiramisu. The taco pizza was just as weird as it sounds, but in a delicious way, I really enjoyed it. The mozarella sticks were good, par for the course and the tiramisu was above average, but not the best I've ever had. read more

When I entered the person working there said" cmon i want to go home and sleep" this was immediately a factor that I will not come back to this place, he was rude and unprofessional I would never come back here, the pizza was average it's not italian, the fries was the only thing that was good, if I can give negative star i would. I would never go there ever again. read more

Was really hoping for the best here but very disappointed. Essentially equivalent to a Costco pizza!

Good stuff for the price. Greek pizza my favorite. Great service, always accurate with time.

My best friend Cynthia and I are originally from New York and we love our New York Pizza. This is the only place that comes very close to the New York Pizza that we miss. We really enjoyed ourselves, the atmosphere and most of all the pizza. The started to prepare the half and half pizza as we were ordering it and it was ready in no time at all. I recommend this pizzeria to all of my family and friends. ​ read more

I am very disappointed, that last time I ordered the combination pizza I received exactly the combination pizza as is on the picture on their website and today my wife go to order it again and what she receive is not the combination pizza and the worst part about it is that, my wife showed them the picture from yelp the shows the combination pizza and from their own website and she told me, they all look at each other confuse like they have no idea what a combination pizza on their website looks like versus what they made just look at the picture below thats not the combination pizza, and of course is a waste of time to dispute this charge because is food and services were rendered, but the fact that you have employees and they don't know the menu, make it bad business, last time the owner delivered exactly what is on their menu and I got the combination pizza but today I got something else... read more

not going to lie, I love the pizza here however, my dessert was another matter. I really had a craving for strawberry cheesecake. what I got was cheesecake with a dollop of strawberry jam. why they would ruin a beautiful piece of cheese cake by cheaping out on the sauce is beyond me but I won't be ordering anything other than pizza again, lesson learned. read more

I am happy to hear that they carry halal chicken for pizzas. I tried their jumbo chicken pizza and it was just delicious. They also informed me about other halal items in menu and I am looking forward to trying them out soon. The interior is cozy, you can see the flame oven and it's a warm feeling. I will be back soon. read more

"Meh. I've experienced better." That's essentially the way I felt after my visit to Apollo's tonight. Don't get me wrong, I've had worse pizza in my life. Just... not in the last few months of my life. --Food: We had a small order of 6 garlic knots and a large half cheese, half pepperoni pizza. - Garlic knots: We didn't see it listed, but they come with romano cheese sprinkled all over them. The problem with this is that the cheese absorbs the buttery garlic liquid (which is normally the sinfully good part of garlic knots), and we were left with slightly dry and less flavored garlic knots. My fiancee doesn't even like romano cheese and brushed it all off. - Pizza: I've said it in prior reviews, but good pizza (to me) falls in one of two categories. 1) Thin crust pizza with a crispy crust. 2) Deep dish with a buttery crust. The pizza at Apollo's is a thin crust, but only the very end resembles anything near crispy. The first slice out of the oven had a firm-at-best crust, but the second slice after having sat a few minutes was really quite soft. If you happen to like thin, soft crust, I think you will strongly disagree with the 2 star rating of this review. I won't cut credit where credit is due; there is a perfect amount of cheese and the pepperoni had a nice spice to it (albeit a bit greasy). It wasn't a bad tasting pizza, but it's hard for me to acknowledge the taste with the texture of the crust. There are a lot of other items on the menu as well, and it's possible that I'll try some other ones at a future date. I particularly like Steak and Cheese, so that's something I could see happening. --Cost: Above food came to ~$15. I'd say about average for a pizza and a bread side. --Atmosphere: Nothing too out of the ordinary for a pizza place. There were two TVs playing America's Got Talent with about 8 people dining in. Place was pretty clean. --Service: We ordered and had our pizza in about 15 minutes. Garlic knots came sooner. They do give generously sized Styrofoam cups for water. Staff was nice enough. --Overall: As it's right down the street from where I reside, I wanted to like Apollo's more. It has the right foundations for a good pizza in my opinion, but I just couldn't get over the crust. If a soft, thin crust doesn't bother you or is preferred, by all means, give them a shot. I personally think I'll be sticking to Capriccio's which isn't too much further down the street, but I don't regret coming here. read more

My wife is very traditional when it comes to lasagna. Apollo's has the only lasagna in western Henrico that she approves. Well done! I also like their Stromboli, a clever and tasty dish that can be hard to find. Flexible options to eat in, out or take away. read more

DELICIOUS Pizza & Garlic Knots! Being a NJ/NY resident living in Northern VA, I crave NY Style Pizza. Stayed in Richmond for the night and checked out the pizzeria on a Friday evening. Place was crowded (which was a good sign). While it took some waiting time to be seated, the appetizers (garlic knots and fries) arrived quickly. We also ordered a cheesesteak which was pretty good. I've had NY Pizza from over 300 places (way more probably) and can say the pepperoni pizza here is certainly in my top 5. The crust was nice and crispy, cheese to sauce balance was great, and the overall taste of the cheese and sauce was spectacular. Wish I would've taken photos but I was really hungry. I plan on making the drive monthly, and on my next visit will post photos. read more

It all started before I even ordered. I had called to clarify what meat came on the Italian cold cut sub. After being told it had ham & salami, I asked if I could substitute pepperoni for the ham. I was placed on hold for close to 5 minutes to be answered. After getting an answer concerning the substitution I placed my order online. When I sent the order, the app glitched and I wasn't sure if the order was sent. So I called to verify if they received the order. After being placed on hold for yet another 10 minutes they verified they did not receive the order. I once again opened the app and sent the order, this time the order went through. I waited approximately 75 minutes for a cold soggy sub (was suppose to be hot), cold cheese sticks, and cheesecake with a red gel that was supposedly strawberries. Which I paid an extra $1 for. Needless to say, I will not be ordering from here again. read more

My family and I have been going to Apollo's since they opened. A recent visit partly disappointed though. The pizza still rocked, but I had to return the hamburger and fries. They've changed suppliers to ones that use those awful coated fries (not seasoned-coated in potato starch). They tried to claim, at first, it wasn't a change - but finally owned up. I know Italian is their specialty, but the fries didn't need to be changed. I've never met ANYONE who would eat coated fries over regular fries. read more

I've had delivery from them multiple times, fairly good pizza, love the sauce in particular, very fresh, chunks of tomato. We sometimes get pasta, too, just simple marinara over pasta, fits the bill, tasty fresh sauce. Nothing fancy, but a great option if you want leftovers. read more

Meh. Good pizza - bad service/ ordering over the phone experience. I called once and it rang for 2 minutes. I called again and was put on hold for 5+ minutes, all while under a time crunch. Unfortunately I had to take my business elsewhere, but hopefully I'll get to eat some pizza from Apollo soon.. if they answer their phone! read more

So this used to be one of my favorite places for pizza, subs, and pasta. So I am low carb so I ordered the chicken Alfredo with no noodles, double broccoli, and chicken. I was charged almost $20. I come back to work to eat and I find this. Basically a few pieces of chicken and a few pieces of broccoli and a ton of Alfredo. This is completely unacceptable as I expected more for my money not just a little broc and chicken floating in a tremendous amount of Alfredo sauce. I'm only giving it two starts because it does taste ok. I called the restaurant and complained and was told I'd get a half credit towards my next meal. I told them that I would never order again and they told me I had to go back in to get half my money back. What an inconvenience!! read more

I used the Yelp delivery to try Apollos. They delivered it really quickly and the food was hot and delicious when it arrived. The prices were really reasonable, I ordered a large cheese pizza and a grilled chicken ceasar salad for like $21. The pizza was cooked perfectly, my daughter described it as soft and delicious. I had the salad, and it came with ample grilled chicken on it. A huge amount of lettuce but perfectly blended together. I was super impressed with how fast it eas deliveted to my house and I will definitly order from here again. I read more

Out of the world vegetarian burger sandwich! Great menu choices. Very hospitable staff! This place is a local gem. Highly recommended!

Use to order from this place regularly but after them messing up my orders on three separate (well spread out occasions) and me requesting that they make it right (I.e bring me my missing food, bring hot food, reimburse for my drink I paid for but didn't receive) they blacklisted my home. Never thought any of the situations were mishandled, they were always apologetic and efficient in resolving the issues with little to no malice so I was super blindsided by their decision to not deliver to us anymore. They claim people in my home have continuously cursed them out and disrespected them. That's simply just not true. Tried to speak with a manager about the claims and he hung up on us. The gag is I order from them regularly to my job with pleasantries *shrugs*. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

Customer service at its best.. called in a pick up order at 9:15 pm and was not handled with any attitude. Same disposition as if calling at 5 pm.. and the food was as phenomenal as ever.. it was so refreshing making a last minute order before closing, and not being told we close in 10 min, call back tomorrow... and then they even brought it out to the door, with a smile!!! thank you for great food and great customer service.. read more

Apollo's - Best Homemade Lasagna ever!! - Pizza Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We've been on the road with our dog and had to order in. We chose Italian food and loved what we saw on Apollo's menu. We had a regular garden and greek salad- a meal in itself, the stuffed veggie combo pizza (LG) which is enormous, and the combo stromboli- again very large portion. You definitely will walk away with left overs, but more importantly the flavor and ingredients are really wonderful. If you're unsure about this restaurant from other write ups- don't worry! The food is great and the staff is polite and quick to deliver. Sincerely, A fat and happy traveler read more

Apollo's is my favorite in Richmond. They always put adequate toppings and you can taste the fresh mozzarella and tasty tomato sauce.

All I've ever done here is to walk in at 9pm and get combo slices heated with a coke, so the whole review is about the 10 times I've done that with friends. The pizza is good, the coke is super sweet (I think they use more syrup than other places, which makes me happy cause I'm tired of this watered-down coke that you get everywhere else). The guys working there always seem like they are dying to go home, but they cover it up with a veneer of indifference and never force us to leave if they are slow. They instead always let us stay until closing time, which I find amusing and doesn't negatively affect the experience at all. If you want some oven baked pizza, go there. read more

We were visiting in the area and this restaurant popped up. The people were super friendly and we ordered pizza, garlic knots, and an awesome chicken parm sub, spaghetti and cheesecake.

I've been ordering from Apollo's since middle school. It has always been my favorite place to go. Whether it's going in to order or ordering online, I am always happy with my food. Been ordering Apollo's for years now and the same man delivers every time, he is the sweetest. So glad that Apollo's is just a click away. Will always love the food and will always support y'all! read more

I've ordered their pizza a few times and have never truly been disappointed! I usually stick with a sausage and pepperoni, but don't let that dissuade you! My pizza has always arrived fresh and it has always tasted absolutely delicious. (I always order a slice of cheesecake as well. TALK ABOUT MELT IN YOUR MOUTH) The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the one time I ordered a sub from them (along with a pizza). My pizza was as amazing as always, but my sub arrived with soggy bread, as if it had been made before the pizza and just sat until it was time to be delivered. They're definitely worth checking out though. The sizes are ample and the prices are very good for what you get! read more
