    I stopped by Chicho's Backstage before attending a concert at the norva with some friends. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was that they were playing the music of the band we were going to see. Already a win, they know the business they're bringing in that evening and want to tend to what they like! We sat at a high top table in the bar area and were greeted right away. We each ordered a beer (obvi I got a corona light), and a round of waters. The drinks came out within 3 minutes and then we ordered our pizza. Two of us got 2 cheese slices and another friend got 2 pepperoni. I kid you not when I say these came out within 5-7(?) minutes!!! With a concert to get to, this was a huge bonus! The pizza was good! Not NY pizza, but it had great flavor and satisfied our needs before going to sing and dance. I think we spent a total of 30 minutes in and out. They have a huge menu with plenty of options that aren't pizza. I do love how you can order by the slice (only for the cheese and pepperoni, though!) The place is huge. They had another section with an upstairs, a party section, and even a little patio out front. I'd suggest this spot to anyone who needs a quick bite to eat while down on Granby Street. Tasty, fast and good service!

    I've gone here a few times with my boyfriend and his friends, and each time has been enjoyable! I've only gone on Mondays for their $1 slices, which is such a great deal, and the slices are bigger than I expected. They have 7-foot pool tables upstairs that take quarters, which is perfect if you're in the mood to play. The service has never been slow.

    I love Chicho's pizza with the spicy sauce - PERIOD!!! I tell you, when I want pizza and I am nearby, this is my go to spot. The spicy sauce with pepperoni and jalapenos toppings is my go to for sure! Yes, I love spicy! The salads here are great as well! I love the wings fried hard as well. The atmosphere is lively too! Every now and then they will feature a DJ or live music. This place is located on the busy Granby Street. When you walk in this place appears to be small inside, but it's actually pretty large compared to other restaurants located in the area. I have dined here a handful of times and each time has been a joy! I love the cocktails here too!! Parking - street parking is available and free after 6pm and Free on Sundays. But if none is available - garages are located within walking distance. Check them out! I believe on Sundays they offer a cheese pizza deal worth getting - with spicy sauce :) Have fun and enjoy life :)

    I usually never leave my workplace for lunch but a couple of my coworkers and I decided to venture in Downtown Norfolk and it seems like a lot of places are closed on Tuesday, at least where we were intending to go was. Chichos was open and we decided to eat here for lunch. The prices for their food are pretty inexpensive and the serving sizes are decent/big. I ordered the Cheese Pizza which was $6 for a 10inch personal pizza and I picked spicy marinara for my sauce. For $6 it was a decent size personal pizza. Before you take a look at the picture, I forgot to snap a picture before I took a bite, least to say I was hungry. The pizza tasted like a normal regular pizza, I didn't get any of the spice until I hit the 4th slice where it all seemed to be concentrated at one focal point of the pizza. The spice would have been a lot better if it was distributed throughout the sauce. They do have a bar area and there was one other person in the establishment besides us but he was doing some day drinking. Our order was taken fairly quickly and placed but it seemed to take a while for the order to come out. It was a pretty basic experience at a restaurant, nothing extravagant. However, I was surprised when I looked at the check, that there was an automatic tip applied to the order. There were a total of 3 people in the party and we all paid separately, I understand putting a mandatory gratuity tip on large groups, but I was fairly shocked to see an automatic tip on my receipt. I was not going to question the tip because $1 and some change tip was not going to break my bank, but in the long run it saved me money because I was going to tip more than the tip automatically applied.

    All the way ! Minus the beef

    Two words: SPICY SAAAAAUCE. okay, so I believe that you're not living if you haven't tried their spicy sauce in the pizza. It's delicious.

    They charge you 18% gratuity for ALL orders, no matter what size!! They're already over priced so imagine 18% extra on top of a $100 total.

    First thing I have to say... This is not Gordon Ramseys Restaurant, so please don't get excited to…read morego and be mad when it's not him. I will say? Cheaper prices for SURE lol. I go to HK too many times. The place is everything you can ask for in a bar. Cheap drinks, great food, happy hour damn near all day and the staff are always nice. They are always playing good music, going thru their slideshow on the tv with everyone up there (except me for some reason), or they got the game on and everyone is feening for a spot at the bar. When I work in downtown they are always a viable option for food and when I'm out on the weekends they are the place to go for a nice drink and maybe a pre snack before the main event of the night or the food that's gonna get me through until I get home from a great night. Also! They have daily deals! Monday they have Pizza and Wine half off, Tuesday they have margs for cheap and some tacos and quesadillas on sale, Wednesday is Steak Dinner Date night (2 for $22 bucks you can't beat that anywhere), and Thursday is the day you'll see me for burger night with $2 PBRs. Haven't been to HK yet? Then you're missing out. If you have been and didn't like it? You gotta try again something must've been wrong with you that day. If you're like me and go all the time? Then come say hi next time and shoot if you're cool I'll even say hi back! haha!

I thought we were really running late and were going to l be rushing to get in before doors closed but we got in with 20 minutes to spare. Getting through security was a breeze. Allied Universal did a great job getting people through efficiently. I had a clear bag so they didn't even have to search through it. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the security at the door to the usher who helped us find our seat. We purchased our ticket on Ticketmaster and they were super easy to quickly pull up and scan using the Apple Wallet feature. The show was fantastic and Josh Johnson was hilarious. I do recommend that if you want to buy merch or have to use the bathroom you do so before the show ends because it's quite chaotic with everyone trying to leave at the same time. The location of the men's bathroom on the second floor goes against the flow of the crowd of you're on the first floor like we were. All in all though I highly recommend this venue and would not hesitate to see a show here again.

The slices are HUGE! I couldn't believe how big they were. Our two teenagers split a single slice and were perfectly happy.

We're in town for a conference and loved finding a great local pizza spot within easy walking distance of our hotel. Fast, delicious, and a fun local find. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in Norfolk!

The slices here are HUGE--like, you need two plates just to hold one. It's super filling and definitely worth the price (usually around $5 for a cheese slice, a little more for toppings). I'm not normally a thin crust person, but their thin crust is actually really good. The cheese is flavorful, the crust has a great texture, and even a plain slice hits. That said, I'd definitely recommend trying one of their specialty slices too. The shop itself is pretty small with limited seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. During lunch rush, it can get packed, but service is usually quick and the staff has always been friendly in my experience. They also have extras like Parmesan and peppers so you can dress up your slice however you like. Overall, if you're in downtown Norfolk and want a solid, no-frills pizza spot with massive slices, this is definitely the place to go.
