    Meatsiah Pizza
    Rich S.

    Best Detroit Style Pizza I Have Ever Had Food I love pizza. Detroit style has not typically been my favorite but this may change my mind. It is thick crispy on the edge. Bread crust is great. Thick sauce and the toppings are fantastic. The quality of the meats on the meatsiah are top notch. Service Server was attentive and friendly. Always had drink refills. Ambiance It is a chic vibe. Kind of place that feels upscale. Price It isn't cheap. Expect to pay $20-$30 for a pizza but it is a lot of food. The first time we got the small I ate two squares and my son could only each one (teen boy). Summary One of the best pizza places of any genre I've been to highly recommended.

    The Founders Pizza

    I was genuinely ecstatic to see Emmy Squared Pizza make its way down to Richmond. If you visit, the Founders Pizza is an absolute standout. The combination of red sauce, cheese blend, house-pickled jalapeños, Ezzo pepperoni, and honey is nothing short of a revelation. Each square delivers that signature Detroit-style crisp edge while the sauce ties everything together beautifully. It's the kind of pizza where you can genuinely taste the care and craft behind it--every bite feels intentional.

    The restaurant is located in a nice area. The place was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The ambiance was nice and welcoming. The food was excellent. I am very familiar with Detroit style pizza and while this has a twist on it, it was delicious. I forgot to take pics of the menu however I can tell you the choices were very good or you can create your own. I actually am looking forward to going back to try another one of their pizzas. This place is definitely worth a try.

    Miranda Pizza
    Casey S.

    We loved grabbing dinner at Emmy Squared Pizza! It's a large restaurant in Short Pump with Indoor & Outdoor seating, so plenty of space for a group dinner or a date. The Pizza that we ordered was called The Miranda, it had ricotta cheese, bacon and hot honey on top of Detroit style pizza. It was so so delicious & we ate the entire large pizza. We had really nice servers who were also very personable. I highly recommend giving this pizza place a try. You won't regret it!

    Vodka Pizza

    I really want to like this place. I went on opening/media day and scored some free pizza coupons (select from 1 of 3 options, dine in only) and despite this, I will likely not use them all. My husband ordered a Guinness and comes in a shorter than normal glass. I was surprised how expensive the menu items are. We ended up choosing a chicken parm sandwich, chopped cheese burger, vodka pizza and one side fries. I found the menu confusing, so I thought the fries were 3 dollars because it said Zia Ya Fries $3, but that was $3 (for cheese) on top of $7 for a la carte waffle fries, crazy! The chicken parm sandwich was slightly overcooked but okay flavor. But like $19 ala carte good, not even close. And if you added fries, that's a $26 chicken sandwich. The chopped cheese burger was not my jam at all, like 2 star for me, would never order this again. It just has a strange flavor with the beef, chopped onions, green peppers and American cheese. The pizza was good; I think I prefer NY style (not their fault). The waffle fries were okay, the cheese sauce was okay. The restaurant is pretty. Service was a little slow. If you love Chicago style pizza, go for just that and a drink and you will probably be happy!

    First off, view my profile and you'll quickly notice how seldomly I give any restaurants less than 4 stars... certainly not 1. I will say that the food is decent. We got a couple of burgers and the waffle fry appetizer. Note that the burgers don't come with sides; they're paid for separately, and it's $7 for the waffles fries. They also charge for sauces on the side ($2). Our main gripe was with the service. There was max about 3 different groups seated, and I observed at least 8 employees lingering around. It took a long time to get our beer and appetizer. The beer came out a bit warm, so I'm guessing it was just waiting. The appetizer apparently took a while because the order was messed up, so they redid it (appreciate that, but just noting). We got it at the same time of our entrees. It took at least 15 minutes upon finishing to get our check, boxes, etc. The restaurant manager even swung by and asked how everything was. We said it was fine, but that the beer was a bit warm. We got a "that's good to know!" response - no offer to refund or at least get a new or different drink. The beer was practically untouched too, so it wasn't a matter of returning something I still obviously consumed. After that, we had at least 2 other people who seemed like supervisors of some sort asked how things were, to which we said "ok" and "could've been better", but there was zero verbal response. They just helped clear our table. I even emailed the restaurant separately on their website to reach out about the experience, hoping that maybe it was just a terrible night, but I never received a response. TLDR: If you want a decent $15 burger only (or pizza according to some other reviews) without any sides for takeout, this is the place for you. If you want more value and better service, go somewhere else.

    Over cooked very fried wings
    Mike P.

    Got a cheese pizza, chicken parm sandwich, boneless chicken wings both siracha glaze and plain, and a Caesar salad for take out. Consensus from our family of 5 was mixed. Kids loved the pizza. However, the boneless wings were a disappointment! They were overcooked bordering on burnt. They looked much different than the photos online. While the siracha glaze had a nice kick, the wings fell short of expectations. The Caesar salad dressing was delic but the salad itself was underwhelming. Really wanted to like this newer restaurant. Hope it succeeds for other customers.

    4.5 overall Growing up in Michigan, I love Detroit pizza and typically outside of the Detroit area people call any square pizza "Detroit Style" which is far from true Yes, Detroit Style pizza is square though the true difference in the cheese and the cheese crisping over the edges into deliciousness. Emmy Squared has a good version. Corners were crispy, though could have been a little cheesier. Service was good. It took awhile after we were seated to have a server come over and help us, though after the initial delay our server was attentive and helpful Ceasar salad was fresh and definatley could taste the anchovies in the dressing and a generous very sharable size. What we tried: Ceasar Salad Classic Pizza: Signature cheese blend, house-made red sauce Other: Booths and tables, outdoor patio area, bar area Street parking or nearby garage My rating rationale + .5 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    My husband and I were a little skeptical because of some of the reviews, but our experience at Emmy squared exceeded our expectations. We got two regulars - the Roni and Ang. Both were delicious. I slightly prefer the Roni because I love red sauce, but the ricotta on the Ang was so creamy. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back to try more menu items.

    Caesar salad with chicken
    Wael D.

    Came here with my wife a couple days ago and fell in love with this place. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza and a Caesar salad with chicken. The salad was so good and fresh. It's always refreshing when a place takes the time to really get a salad right and gives you a decent portion size (especially for a pizza place). The pizza was extremely flavorful and super filling. The prices are a little expensive but the portion sizes justify the prices. The service wasn't bad, nothing special.

    After reading the reviews, I was anxious to try Emmy's out. Much like the reviews, it was generally ok, but not a full 5 stars. We had a party of 6, so not too large. We got seated quickly, service was very good. They brought our food out at different times, so one person was done before others got their food. We even had one person that didn't get his food until 4 others were done, and it was only wings, nothing to complicated. One burger came out and had to be sent back as it was relatively raw in the middle. Mozzarella sticks were really soggy, the cheese was melted but the coating was not cooked at all. Kind of confusing However, the pizza was fantastic as was the other meals we got. Service made up for the lack of effort from the kitchen. We never lacked for drinks, so that helped a lot. Overall we would probably give it another shot simply due to the pizza being so good. But, probably won't order the mozzarella or a burger. Good thing they have a good quality pizza I guess.

    Margherita Pizza
    Katrina E.

    So the ambiance is nice in here. It's comfortable, we came in on a Monday so it wasn't busy. This is a good place to come with friends to hang out. One thing, we ordered sparkling water and the limes were OLD. Definitely a turn off. We split a Cesar salad which was fresh and tasty. The pizza is thick crust like French bread. We had the margarita pizza, it comes with a lot of sauce on it. The pizza was pretty good, we ordered a large and had some to take home. Overall nice new addition to Short Pump.

    Here tonight 4/10/26.. ordered the same pizza I have order three times before . Price is $2.00 higher than when they first opened..see previous review this was my fav pizza place raved on my Google since I'm a Google embassador..with thousands of people who read my reviews per day . Well tonight the pizA cheese was burnt the bar person male states not burnt but being a cook myself I know burnt pizza cheese even if it is ghouda.. I could not eat it after the excuses did offer to make it again but states it would be the same ? I will not be returning. Super sad!! $20+ pizza worth $5 at the most . I can surely tell that the people. In the kitchen the first few months of opening is not there tonight . Skip this place and just to go place down the street on corner tiki.. consistent and with $20+ !! Trust me.

    I got a Luca's special pizza (cheese, pepperoni, sausage, peppers onions and mushrooms. It was…read morevery tasty with generous toppings. By the time I got home 5 minutes away. The bottom crust was very limp and soggy, my the easiest to eat with your hands. I think my biggest complaint though was their online ordering site. I used it to order my pizza so it was ready when I got there. I found this pizza on their menu and clicked on it, it was called their "combo pizza"... a few minutes after I placed the order I got a call from them saying they had several combo pizzas and asked which combo l ordered. I told them the ingredients, reading it right from their web page. "Oh, that's our "specialty pizza"... just seems very weird that they created their menu and don't know what their online menu calls their pizzas. So, bottom line, generous toppings, tasty, a bit soggy, troublesome online ordering.

    I really wanted to like Luca's based on the great reviews, I want to believe it was just this one…read moremeal. I went there to pick up the spaghetti lunch special. I was in the mood for pasta and thought I would try it here and unfortunately was disappointed. The spaghetti was very plain,and what I believe was marinara sauce was soupy and watered down. I had to add a generous amount of salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese, there wasn't any meat options available which was also unfortunate that probably would've helped the dish a bit. I couldn't finish it and had to throw it out sadly. The experience was not completely disappointing honestly. The customer service however was wonderful I love the fact that this establishment seems very family oriented, there's pictures of what I assume is the owners family on the walls which was very wholesome. I definitely want to come back and try something else, maybe the pizza next time or wings can't go wrong with that!

I'm also one of those who takes advantage of a system that allows people to change options of pizza toppings without getting charged extra for it in the process. This is one of the best features that Marco's Pizza has available. We typically get the Marco's "The Works" Pizza which has more toppings that we prefer. In the app (I suggest getting this), you can make the pizza a "half-and-half" and select which toppings you want or do not want. If you deselect a meat or a veggie, you can select a different meat (or veggie) that may not have been on the pizza to begin with. It really makes it an amazing way to tailor the pizza to your taste. The option for adding garlic sauce and parmesan cheese to the crust is a real treat as well. The people at Marco's are super nice and friendly. They all do a great job in making sure your pizza is built to order, with fresh ingredients and well prepared. I have rarely had a pizza not come out correctly, but they certainly do make remedies for those instances. Best of all, the pizza is VERY good. Sauce has a nice tang to it, and the dough is perfect (in my opinion). I realize this is a chain, but for a chain, I think it is the best pizza in town. I would highly recommend. They also serve pasta, salads, desserts, and other options. But for me, I just stick with the pizza. Great job, Marco's!!
