The skinny Big Ang
Ashley A.

Our waitress was so sweet! She made me an amazing espresso martini and explained how to order so perfectly! The brussel sprout salad was sooooo good and so was oue skinny Big Ang pizza. Plus, my son loved the pepperoni pizza and he is so picky with pizza. We will for sure be back.

Cheesy Garlic Sticks
Shane S.

Can definitely appreciate offering diversity in pizza styles that Emmy Squared has brought to Charlottesville. The Detroit style packs a flavor profile and consistency that is unique and tasteful. The toppings were plentiful and the pizza was well-made. My biggest point of contention is the value. An 8"x10" cheese pizza is $18.50 and 6 finger length garlic cheese bread sticks are $13. Both should be just over half this price. For that price, I would take Pi-Napo or Lampo for quality and value, any day. For the steep price, not matching the size and volume, will likely not return but definitely worth a try during unique occasions.

The Emmy Pizza
John B.

This is a strip mall location that isn't among Charlottesville's most charming, though the interior is fine enough. I stopped in seeking a seasonal special with pesto and banana peppers. If I'm being honest, it wasn't the best pizza I've had in various visits to different Emmy Squared locations; the onions tasted a little bit off and the sauce was too tangy for a pizza for me. The crust was as crisp as you'd hope for this style of pizza, and Detroit-style pizza is likely new to the Charlottesville area and it is a pleasure that I recommend trying. I also got a brussels sprout salad, and while you don't always go to pizza places for the salads, the combination of flavors in this one is fantastic. Takeout was a straightforward experience. This is not a place that has a lot to offer for people who don't do dairy.

The pizza has a perfectly cooked crust that is crispy but not hard, the sauce has great flavor, and the different topping and sauce options make for a lot of customizable flavors. The service is quick and attentive. Pepperoni or sausage makes the pizza greasier than I would prefer, but the same is true anywhere, and the other topping options do not make it too greasy.

Big Hawaiian Pizza
Emma E.

I liked Emmy squared a lot and I'd be back in. The ambiance is business casual. It's not a true casual place because they are a bit more dressed up with table settings. Servers will offer still and sparkling water. So it's appropriate for a business lunch but still is family friendly. Just not as casual as Christian's, five guys or other true casual places in cville. Service was awesome. Our server was brand new but was polite fast and super friendly. The staff he leaned on for support were also really nice. All the food was awesome. Hawaiian pizza was our fav. Our burger fanatic friends rated their burger a 7-8/10. Their fav in cville for reference is riverside or jack browns. They said this burger is more expensive and doesn't come with sides, hence the knock down, but taste wise it's great. They did say it's super greasy so we ready for it to be a bit messy. The apps are all awesome, mozz sticks were fantastic. Waffle fries with cheese were so good. 2 entrees and an app came out to $50, drinks and other things are more expensive so expect to pay about $30pp. Overall, the food is good and I'd be back.

Amazing, 10/10 no notes. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good pizza. We went back in like early February for lunch and it was just us & four other tables. Ambiance was immaculate and our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, had some great recommendations! Left beyond stuffed and quite pleased with the entire experience.

Deluxe Pizza XL
Andrea L.

SERVICE We walked in on a late evening and while the mall plaza was busy we were able to park outside. Walked in and were quickly seated at a table indoors. We did not choose the patio. Our server came by with drinks and offered us a chance to ask questions. We weren't super hungry so decided to order a XL size or the 10 slice version of the Deluxe. Our waters were delivered but needs some extra prodding to be refilled. FOOD After 15-20 minutes, our pizza was delivered and placed on a rack. This spot supposedly delivers a delicious Detroit-style thick crust but also the foldable Brooklyn pizza mix, served in a stylish, comfortable setting. It definitely had generous toppings with spicy sausage, fresh peppers, and mushrooms and the expected Midwestern cheese type. The pizza was not as doughy or structurally sound as Detroit style pizza...and definitely needed a fork and knife to eat...but still delicious. It is light on the tomato sauce which some may not like as much. AMBIANCE It's definitely a space that is super casual and modern with a bar kind of inviting vibe. Large windows and communal tables makes for a friendly atmosphere, perfect for groups or solo diners or takeout orders.

Tried the DC locations a few years ago and was curious when this opened up in charlottesville. I thought the vibe was more casual in DC but they seemed to try for a fine dining experience here? The waiter offered us still or sparkling and we thought that was our only option for water (instead of just mentioning tap) so we paid extra for the saratoga water bottles unfortunately. Margharita pizza was lacking and felt like it needed more sauce. Overall impression was that they need to figure out what theyre going for!

Good Paulie Pizza
Amani A.

The pizza itself was absolutely delicious! We went earlier in the evening for happy hour, and while the food was great, the experience was a little off. When I asked about the happy hour deals advertised on a sign outside, our waitress seemed unsure about them and gave us incorrect prices, which we later realized didn't match what was listed. Because of that, I ended up skipping a cocktail, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the decor was stunning--lots of natural light and a really inviting atmosphere. I also appreciated the variety on the menu. I highly recommend the Good Paulie and the vodka pizza--both were amazing, and I loved the Detroit-style crust. Overall, fantastic pizza, but the service could use a little more attention to detail, especially during happy hour. Would definitely come back, just with clearer expectations!

The waiter was quick to take our order the house salad with grilled chicken. It was fresh,delicious and filled with the perfect about of topping. The chicken was favorable and the honey mustard dressing was spot on. About $20 and worth every penny. My husband ordered a cheese burger 1/2 pound juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. He mentioned one of the best burgers he's ever had. He also ordered buttered fried onion rings. He also claimed they were cooked to perfection. If you're looking for good food with amazing service this is your place.

Offer fire-cooked and flat-top burgers 4. Provide ingredients from farmers who treat employees, animals and the environment with respect 5. Custom grilled cheese sandwiches 6. In-house, hand-cut fries made daily 7. Buns locally baked and made/delivered fresh every day 8. Vegetarians are welcome ( the salads are great) 9. Bar staff are wise and love to suggest either a local draft beer, a custom cocktail or a nice glass of red wine 10. They believe in good food, cold drinks and common ground.

In case you have never been they offer steaks that are cooked in a brick fire oven. AMAZING I ordered the VA sirloin which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) with creamed spinach and potatoes. The creamed spinach and the potatoes were very delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the fried oysters which were great. Not overly fried and still maintained the texture and flavor of a typical oyster. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very entertaining and helpful. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She ensured that wanted for nothing. The ambiance was great. I loved the cow theme as well as the signage that stated "no well done steaks". It was a great touch. Overall, I had a great experience. If I am in Charlottesville again I will definitely visit.

Some steaks at restaurants are much too salty for me. For sides, we got the brussel sprouts and smashed red potatoes. Both were excellent but the brussel sprouts are a must-have.

Wait time from store to store is usually pretty short, but waiting for actual food can be 2 minutes to 15 depending on who you go to. For example, a son got pizza slices immediately while my trip to order and get Tom Kha soup took 18. The flavor is hit or miss depending on restaurant and what you order. I got a chicken salad from the chicken place and it was great. My daughter got fettuccini alfredo and declared it rich, but bland. All that said, you can't miss with the ice cream location. So, regardless of what you ordered as the main dish, you can leave with a smile and a waffle cone in hand.
