    Supremo (16"). Always consistent and delicious!
    Robert P.

    Excellent pizza! I've tried countless pizzas in the last 20yrs all over this region, Baba' is one of the best. Very consistent and delicious. Service is attentive, ambiance is fine. Oh, the French Fries are great & always hot, order as an appetizer!!

    9 months past expiration mountain dew

    i ordered a pepperoni pizza and 2 liter on 6/21/26 and me and family have only just now opened the bottle and upon tasting the staleness we check the bottle and it's 9 months old!

    Meat amore pizza
    Yoonie L.

    Baba's Pizzeria is located in the shopping center across the street from Target in Edinburgh. We've dined in and ordered take out, both on busy Friday nights. - Parking - Center lot. - TLC - It's a family run business and the service was friendly and courteous. - Noms - NY Style Combo Pizza (4 toppings) - pepp, sausage, green peppers, jalapenos Meat amore pizza - pepp, sausage, bacon ham The pizzas have a good amount of toppings and I really liked the crust. Eggplant Parmigiana - comes with garden salad (iceberg, romaine, shredded carrots, red onion, green pepper, raw mushrooms, shredded mozz cheese, olives) with choice of dressing (we chose balsamic) and garlic bread. The eggplant parm is two pieces of breaded eggplant topped with marinara and cheese. Spaghetti comes on the side. The sauce was tasty and tasted homemade. It was quite delicious and a generous serving. - Kids - I know I've mentioned this before in previous reviews, but I really dislike how restaurants give crappy options for kids, like kids menus are an afterthought. However, kids menus at Italian restaurants often reflect the same offerings for adults, because who doesn't love pastas, so it's a win here. My kids have had their pizzas, alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs, all winners both according to my kids and us! Baba's Pizzeria is a great option for before/after shopping or the movies or simply a takeout meal on a busy night! Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

    Cheese sticks

    We stay in Shelbyville, Ky just for this reason! The cheese sticks are amazing, let alone the pizza! The service is always great, super friendly!! We love the ambience of this quaint place! If you have not tried it, you need to!!

    Half pepperoni, half chicken & pineapple pizza (18")

    We ordered for delivery and had to make a last minute change & they accommodated flawlessly. Great customer service and the pizza was amazing when it came! First time ordering & they definitely earned some loyal customers! New go-to spot for local pizza!

    Supreme Stromboli w/ a side of spicy sauce.
    Doug S.

    Been here since 2017 and not sure how I overlooked it but today was the day! My daughter got the chicken Alfredo with a side salad and it comes with garlic bread. She gave it 4 stars and said it was pretty good. I had the Supreme Stromboli with a side of spicy sauce. The Stromboli was lights out good! Super crispy and definitely freshly made. Everything inside including the sauce was yummy. Let's turn our attention to the little cup of sauce on the side... it was so good I drank the last little bit. The tomatoes were nice and sweet. Sooo good! That itself would go good with anything, like a shoe...it could make that taste good! Overall the service was great, very sweet waitress. We'll definitely be back to try the pizza!

    Zeppetelli pizza
    Heidi S.

    Winner! We found a great new pizza spot, I just wish it weren't so far south in Chesapeake. Nevertheless, we will most definitely be back! The place looks unassumingly small from the outside, but seats quite a lot at tables and booths. We came in with a party of 10 including 4 kids last night. With a larger party, we called ahead to make a reservation. As soon as we sat, I noted the signs posted at each table soliciting patience - longer waits due to low staff and a hiring notice. There was a pretty significant wait for our entrees (40 minutes), but the wait was worth it. Our server was prompt and very friendly throughout our visit. She was quick to respond to requests for extra utensils or plates. I didn't see more than 2 servers for the whole restaurant and they were quite busy for a Wednesday night with a regular take out business too. They have a couple of draft options and wine for those imbibing. We ordered apps and entrees soon after arriving. Appetizer order of mozzarella sticks arrived quickly and was gobbled up. For entrees, we ran the gamut - gluten free Hawaiian, strombolis, Zeppetelli pizza, shrimp Alfredo, calamari and cheese pizza. The pizza prices are pretty standard for a non-chain, artisan pizzeria (comparing to Bella Vista in Chesapeake). The prices on their website do not reflect the prices on their menu in the restaurant and are $2-3 more. I didn't inquire but this seems de rigueur for the industry right now so I wasn't really surprised. To the food - My Zeppetelli was delicious! I wish they had used fresh broccoli as I love the taste of roasted fresh broccoli. Husband really like the flavor of his Stromboli but noted that it was doughy in some spots. It didn't stop him from finishing the entire thing! Friends really liked the shrimp alfredo and gluten-free crust, which is a feat in itself. The food was great, but the service elevated this spot to four stars. We are very much looking forward to a return visit!

    House salad w/creamy Italian, supremo calzone and half of the best garlic knots I've ever eaten.
    Lynne P.

    We love this place, we really do but I have noticed the quality of take out has reduced drastically. When I look at the pics of folks dining in compared to what we are getting take out it makes me sad. Very sad. It wasn't always this way. I know ingredients and the cost of everything has increased exponentially due to covid and the cost of business but when you pay $60 bucks for take out and it looks nothing like what in diners are enjoying, it makes me just want to eat a frozen pizza at home. After all, we ARE paying for the same food items so I would hope to get the same quality, regardless if I want to eat in my pj's after a long day's work vs dining in and being with the masses that I just spent all day dealing with .

    Chicken parm
    C Y.

    Delish food. I was craving pasta today and wanted to try this place out. I got their chicken parm and hubby got the shrimp Alfredo. Both came with a house salad that omg was prob the best house salad we have had. So fresh!!!! We both agreed we would get salads next time! The main dishes were so good too. Our server was wonderful!

Not the place to have a good conversation. Not happy when we got the bill: had 2 totals: one for cash and the other for non-cash. First time we have been in a restaurant that charges for credit card use. Did not notice any alert on menu. Overall, overpriced! Will not be back.

Second time dining here and would not return because service from Branice C. was a C- in her caring that she was even at work, to the upcharges for extra marinara sauce to go with the greasy overbreaded calamari appetizer. The oil saturated flavor was almost nauseating. Please change the oil in your fryer! Prices were not excessive but the upcharge for using a credit card was. Who really walks around with $300 cash in pocket to pay for dinner without a credit card fee. JUST ADD IT IN YOUR MENU PRICES!!!! The Boar Ragu was truly not boar but probably run of the mill ground beef and the four tiny slices of steak on the Caesar salad was a joke. There are so many other lovely restaurants along this block that this is a skip right past for the future.

Time your visit well, and you'll be rewarded with a sunset that is nothing short of spectacular--an ideal backdrop for an already memorable dining experience. The restaurant strikes a rare balance: refined without being pretentious. The atmosphere leans toward fine dining, yet the dress code is refreshingly unforced. Jackets and ties coexist comfortably with shorts and flip-flops--a subtle nod to Chesapeake's "come as you are" sensibility. Whether you arrive by boat or by car, the experience begins the moment you step inside. We started with the ahi carpaccio and a classic Caesar salad--both fresh, well-composed, and thoughtfully prepared. For entrées, my wife chose the crab-stuffed shrimp, finished with a lemon-herb beurre blanc and accompanied by sautéed vegetables. It was an excellent dish--rich, balanced, and, notably, not shared. I opted for the 13-ounce New York strip with a garlic and herb demi-glace. Cooked to a precise medium-rare, the steak was properly seasoned and executed with confidence. In a moment of generosity, I offered a few bites across the table--well received, though her loyalty remained with her own selection. From the waterfront setting to the attentive service and well-crafted cuisine, Amber Lantern delivers a dining experience that feels both special and approachable. It's a place worth seeking out--and returning to.
