We were craving pizza, but as out of towners, we didn't know where to begin looking. Luckily Yelp suggested Fabio's pizzeria, and it didn't disappoint. It was a weekday noon when we visited, so we were seated quickly. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. The menu was full of options: hot subs, pasta, pizza, etc. Ultimately we shared a chicken parm hot sub and Fabio's special pizza (14"). Everything came out relatively quickly, piping hot. The cheese was amazing, and the pizza was loaded! Definitely worth it. We arrived starving, and left super stuffed with leftover pizza and sub to spare. In retrospect, the 14" pizza was more than enough for two people to share. If you're looking for a cozy Italian restaurant, give Fabio's a try! read more

I'd love to give this place a rating. I had heard some good things about it from the locals and I'm in the area several times a year. So on a Thursday night at about 7:35 we went in but found no hostess on duty and three tables of customers. I found two menus on the counter and the looked to the kitchen two see two cooks who never looked my way. So I asked if we could just seat ourselves. That's when it began. The older guy was the owner and he let me have it! "No, No, No! Take out only. I'm tired and old, and I'm not doing this anymore. 2 years and I'm done!" I asked about the 8:30 closing. "Not tonight" and then he kept spewing on and on. Everybody has a bad day and being is business is tough. But really? I'm sure I won't go back and I'm afraid this place may not be around for the next 2 years. read more

Fabio's Pizza was absolutely wonderful. We're out of towners staying at the Bluegreen and We showed up an hour before closing. The staff was amazing. The owner/chef is actually from Italy!!! The place is decorated in a way you can tell he is. LOL The food was amazing. Our table had 13 people. We ordered several things and it was all amazing. The pepperoni roll, the pizza, the Stromboli, spaghetti, Alfredo, chicken pesto pasta, kids spaghetti, salads, bread, it was all so so so good... Oh and The tiramisu!!! All great. read more

First visit to Fabio's Pizza, and if it's at all like the smell, we won't be disappointed. Quaint restaurant, waitress was warm and soft spoken, but animated when discussing options. Salad was simple but fresh and tasty. The Sicilian Ziti and Puttanesca were delicious but ridiculously large servings and scalding hot! Come prepared to share or take home leftovers! Very quiet. Would return. read more

AMAZING pizza! I'm coming from Maryland, but got a recommendation for this place when visiting and was not disappointed. Great crust, plenty of delicious toppings. Some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. I hear a Naples guy owns and runs the place. Chris read more

Average pizza, Unevenly prepared, cut irregularly, stuffed in a box too small. Soupy. Crust was a little to thick. I wasn't expecting New Haven, NYC, or NEPA quality; which was good because it wasn't even close. Closer to 2.5 then 3 stars. read more

Fabio's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gordonsville, Virginia

Great pizza and Stromboli's. Interior is a bit dated and the menu could use some updating, but if you want decent-quality NY style pizza this is a good option. read more

Excellent food!!! Authentic and freshly made! The very best pizza I've ever eaten! Everything I've tried has been delicious!

I love Fabio's we've eaten here twice and both times it's been great. Food is good service was good.

Excellent pizza We rate it 5 pepperonis!! I am from NY and my husband is from New England (read North End Boston pizzerias) and we were amazed and delighted to find this tiny, strip mall pizzeria in Gordonsville. It appears to be family owned and operated. The gentleman who took out order was Italian! Could it be Fabio? The ratio of cheese to sauce to pepperoni was perfect. The crust was flavorful, crispy outside - soft and chewy inside. The sauce was tasteful, well seasoned but not overpowering. The cheese was not a cheap imitation mozzarella like many places use to cut corners. This was a perfect pizza. What more could any pizza loving person want? We would drive out of our way for Fabio's pizza any day. read more

We were staying at a local lodge and wanted some pizza. We found this place on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. Staff were very nice as soon as we walked in the door. We were the only customers so wasn't sure if that was a good sign. Lol. The waitress took our drink order and then our food order. The restaurant was a bit outdated but clean so that's what's important to us. That was the fastest cooked pizza ever and just as ordered! Other customers started coming in and their food came out very quickly as well. Pizza was great and service was as well. Would recommend. read more

The dining room was so hot. There was no music. Very awkward. We got wine and it was too hot we had to put ice cubes in it and we ended up having to order a beer. I got the water it tasted weird like soap I had to get a different drink. The food was actually pretty good the eggplant Parmesan was amazing not too breaded and the stuffed shells were OK though I felt the shells weren't cooked enough. If you're in the area it is a decent Italian place to go but I would definitely order takeout rather than sitting in to eat read more

A decent steak sandwich. I got the special and wife got the steak w bacon. A little too much mayonnaise, but still good. We called ahead but when we got there the lights were off, so we thought they were closed, but after pulling on the door, it was open. They close early. But so does everything else in town. We were In Gordonsville for a visit and this was the only place to get a pizza or steak. So we were happy it was good. read more

The pizza is very good however the restaurant can use some cleaning up and fresh paint. We walked in to three employees sitting at a table looking at their phones-no greeting. They were courteous but customer service could use some improvement. The water tasted like dirt. Unfortunately there aren't many places that are open late in this town. read more

From out of town and stayed near by, so my wife and I ordered a large deluxe, hold the hamburger. The pizza was forced into this box, that must have been meant for a medium. Crushed the pizza inside and made it curl up and fold over on itself, and made it very soggy. There were also WAY too many toppings on it. I get that it's a deluxe/supreme, but the proportions were all out of wack. And lastly, the part that put the final nail in the coffin for us. The pizza was assembled: crust, sauce, toppings... and then cheese. So when you ate it, all the toppings came skidding off the soggy crust. Cheese last?! Who does that? Unfortunately, we won't being heading back to Fabio's. They got two stars because the pizza was ready on time and the staff seemed to be nice. read more

My family ordered from Fabio's while staying at Shenandoah Crossing - nice and close to the resort. Everything was delicious. We tried pizza, stuffed shells, and stromboli. Authentic - they were speaking Italian in the kitchen! read more

We are from out of town and this was the only place to get pizza nearby. The pizza was disappointing! It was soggy and lacked flavor. We ordered the meat lovers and there was no hamburger. The meat looked like it was about to expire. The cheesy garlic bread was nothing more than a sandwich sub with cheese melted on it. The salad was just okay. I wish I had not wasted the money and made our own in our cabin. Find something else to eat! read more

WOW! Amazing pizza! I grew up in a small town with lots of Italian pizza shops and my husband's from Chicago. We agree. Best pizza we've ever had! read more

Very good food at decent prices. The calzones were awesome. Cheesesteak and meatball subs were very tasty. Service was friendly although a little slow. Their pizza is good, but takes a while to come out. read more

Very nice folks running this place. We're very happy to accommodate some dietary restrictions I was working around. Typically it's difficult to do Italian but this was where folks in the group were going and the gentleman who took my order was very accommodating and thought nothing of it. We had a Philly cheesesteak and the penne puttanesca. Both were delicious and very hefty portions. I got two meals out of my penne dish. read more

We took out a meat lovers pizza and pasta primavera. Wow. The "Alfredo" sauce in the pasta tastes like warmed milk. There was absolutely no flavor to the dish. The meat lovers pizza had a lot of meat, but it was so greasy! The grease seeped through the bottom of the box in our short car ride home. Really not impressed with this local restaurant. Would not recommend to friends. read more

Ok so I'm solely posting this on behalf of my food . I ordered an anti pasta salad and it was not good . There was more shredded cheese than a dairy farm could produce . If I ate it I would be constipated for months . The lettuce was a bit brown . And the dressing is salty . The other food my family got they enjoyed . That consisted of pizza and a cheese steak . read more

Ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza. It was good lots of pepperoni not a lot of mushrooms. We ordered pizza to go. You park and then walk up to the window to place your order. They give you a mobile pager that goes off when your order is ready. It took less than 15 minutes from the time we ordered til it was ready. read more

Most of the comments are true! Can the place use some cleaning, updating? Sure! More smiles? Absolutely! However, if you are craving a great pizza, this is one awesome pizza joint! Three brothers: Giuseppe , Ciro and Carmine are the chefs from Ischia. They do know how to make amazing pizzas and paninis!! Seriously delicious food! My favorite is white pizza with anchovies on the side! Superb! The rest of the menu is OK: lots of pasta for those who are hungry. They are all good people! Tell them you heard about their great pizza and they will work double hard to please you! Say "ciao" and you will have them talking up a storm. They work hard and somewhat struggle in Gordonsville. We have better pizza than town realizes! Buon apetito! Relax and enjoy it! read more

Have not been for a few years...was better than I remembered! Outstanding hole in the wall Stromboli is basically a large pizza with another large pizza place on top. read more

This isn't the worst pizza I've had, but it's certainly not the best. We've always had the same waitress when we have gone, and she is very friendly and attentive. If there were another pizza place in Gordonsville, I doubt we would ever go here. read more

Definitely not appealing from the outside as it is in a strip mall near a food lion. My daughter and I walked in and received no greeting. Found what appeared to be employees sitting at a table who pointed to the counter for us to make an order. Luckily, the pizza absolutely made up for the lack of curb appeal and wait staff. The gentlemen at the kitchen counter, I am going to assume to be Fabio himself, was very friendly. The pizza was literally one of the best I have ever had hands down and I am a pizza fanatic. Get the Fabio Special and you will be please for sure, but the White pizza is hands down the best I have ever had! read more

Fabio's Pizza - This is the White Pizza, yummy! - Pizza Near Me - Gordonsville, Virginia

Solid NY style pizza. Excellent flavor, thin crust and flavorful. Salad was really good, their house Italian is delicious. The pasta sauce was rich, not quite my taste but it was decent. The pizza is where it's at, I would come back and try some different specialties for sure. read more

We are here from out of town. Ordered pizza to go. Called ahead so it was ready when we got there. We walked in to what looked like 2 people gossiping. As we stood there waiting, they quickly shooed us away asking us to step up to the waitress window. We stepped up to that window. There was a young lady behind the counter that was getting other orders ready. She literally didn't look up or even acknowledge us for a couple of minutes. Finally the cook looked up and gave us a smile. We waved and said hello. The young lady still would not acknowledge us. Finally my husband said Good Evening. She sighed and looked up, no smile. We then told her we were here to pick up pizza. She got our pizza together and took our money. Not one ounce of warmth. It was almost like she was bothered by us coming in. Seems to me there is a cultural problem after reading the comments here after our experience. The pizza was decent but who wants to feel that way coming in for a to go order. I hope the owners read this and make some changes. We won't be back. read more

We had been here years ago and were craving Italian food. We remembered it as having been really good, and we were looking forward to it. It was about 4:30 pm on a Wednesday. When we entered, there was one person sitting at a table but nobody greeted us. It was awkward. We finally had to ask if she worked there and if we should seat ourselves, and she said YEAH without looking up from her reading. We sat in the completely empty, completely silent dining area for about five minutes before that same person came in and asked if she could get us anything. She warmed up a little once we ordered, but it was definitely one of those restaurants where everything is a hassle and every change or request is done begrudgingly and at an extra charge. I should say that the food was still good. The salad was wilted, but the bread was amazing. Again...they'll charge you for more bread, but only about a dollar. The chicken Parmesan was delicious and the portions were big. They make a nice Alfredo sauce too. This place would do great if they paid a little more attention to detail. Some music would be great. Maybe don't use bathroom paper towels in a stack on the table. Get the staff some training. The food alone would not bring us back there. read more

We have never had the pizza here since the new owners. It may be very good. I have always told people this is the best Italian food you can find in the area as long as you order from the specials menu...and until yesterday I have always been extremely happy with everything I have had here and so has my wife. I am being very critical in this review because not only was a meal not very good, but it was not as it was described in the specials menu and the staff/owner did not care if we were happy. The specific meal was the Seafood Cannelloni my wife ordered. At $15 it was a terrible disappointment. The menu (handwritten daily specials) described this as made with crab, shrimp and scallops. There was nothing that even resembled crab, shrimp and scallops in the dish. The only pieces that even resembled seafood were clearly mussels and some still had the beard attached. We even took some home and dissected the meal to prove this to ourselves. There were some hard chewy bits of indiscernible something that may have possibly been scallops but more resembled diced calamari that was cooked to near cartilage type hardness. That was it. Not even anything that resembled bits of shrimp or pulverized crab flakes...and at $15 any diner should expect clear and present chunks at least of the scallops and shrimp and at least something flaky that could be perceived as crab...even imitation crab would have been almost acceptable but they didn't even attempt to pass that off in this dish. Our server said she would talk to the owner/manager and went back to do so...we saw her with the manager printing our check/credit statement and thought they would address the problem somehow...perhaps at least an apology but a discount would have been appropriate. We were given nothing...not even a comment or an explanation that they use what they have on hand even though the menu says otherwise. We don't blame the server...we blame arrogant Italians that own the place. Italians are not known for taking criticism of their food well...I've been there...done that. I ordered the Farfalle Bolognaise and it was fair, but not exceptional and does not look like any bolognaise recipe I have ever seen. The server said they mix their standard meat sauce with alfredo sauce for this dish...sounds like a cheap way to use leftover sauce and get paid $14 for that "special" to me. We will try to give them another chance. I have always loved their food and I'm very disappointed...I hope they are not beginning to fail which would explain them cutting corners like this. If they redeem themselves in the future I will come back to Yelp and revise this review or post another positive one...but for now...customers beware...there was something very wrong with our experience last night. read more

We ordered to go pizzas here in January 2014. There was a power outage and they were not cooked through. They didn't bother to explain just solved them to us. We just tried them the second time due to quarantine and well it was not much better I'm afraid. I am a vegan but that does t mean I want a pound of huge spinach stems and all heaped onto a crust with barely any more than a watery sauce. And so many artichokes. You might think more is good but there's such a thing as balance. My carnivore husbands pizza had a plethora of mushrooms dumped atop but alas, a sparse amount of pepperoni. At least there wasn't too much cheese. At home we scraped off a lot of topping and my pizza crust was adhered to the paper under it. We grilled pieces as best we could on the stove and after adding some hot honey and lots of chili flakes, I could eat some of my pizza. We are spoiled by home made pizza and great pizzas from Charlottesville. We will continue to drive there for restaurant pizza. read more

My husband and I are on vacation. I did a google search for Italian food. We stopped in for lunch. Our server was mice and polite. She had a dining room full. We got our order promptly. As we waited other tables got their food. Seeing the generous portions and other offerings made me question my order. We enjoyed the generous salads very much. I ordered the broccoli chicken alfredo. It was good. The chicken was a little tough and I would have liked a bit more broccoli, but those are personal preferences. The sauce was good. My husband enjoyed his Ziti very much. I had read other reviews about cleanliness. I thought the facility was fine. The restroom was clean and well stocked. We would eat there again. read more
