I've driven by this place hundreds of times and finally came in for lunch. They have a giant menu but we went with the vegetarian pizza and cans of soda. The pizza is good, a solid choice like you might get in a small town pizzeria. Not at all greasy. It's not wood-fired, but it's ok. The soda was $1. Nice. Ambiance is low-key, homey in a way. Only drawback was the too loud tv that was on. The place has been there 20 years and is locally owned. read more

Excellent! Stopped in a couple times for lunch during work day. Got us in and out in decent time, the lady at the register was so nice , the food was tasty, and the value was incredible. Worked in norfolk two months this year. Had lunch all over town. This was my favorite experience. read more

What could improve??? THE FOOD . Pizza had no sauce and reminds me of a frozen pizza. The cake in pic we ordered looked nothing like the crappy cake received. We had this crap delivered. Horrible. read more

Pizza is solid. Their cheese stix are smacking. Just had their italian sub and son had the meatball They were both pretty good and the bread was fantastic. Have not had anything from them that was not good. They are also very fast too. read more

Picked up 3x14" pizzas for $35, 2 cheese and 1 pepperoni. If you're looking for NY style pizza, this isn't it. More like Little Caesars, taste and texture, made fresh by local spot. Large menu for a smaller place. Friendly staff member took phone order. Plenty of parking spots. HDTV in dining room (empty on my visit). For a more traditional NY style pizza, check out Pizzeria on Virginian Dr or Del Vecchios near ODU. read more

I'm originally from NYC, and the classic NY slice is, hands down, one of the best creations in the history of the US. So naturally, I'm more critical when it comes to pizza. First off, I do not eat pizza from Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, or Little Caeser's; I absolutely refuse! Lol That being said, I discovered Golden Pizza by accident. One day, I was craving pizza, so I looked through Door Dash and I saw a picture of a Golden Pizzeria pie and the cheese pull looked amazing. So, I decided to get a medium pie, with my usual go-to toppings of olives, mushrooms and extra cheese! Pizza arrived nice and hot still, and I really liked how it wasn't too greasy either. Everything from the crust, to the toppings, and the pizza as a whole was cooked perfectly. They didn't skimp out on the cheese too, which I really liked! I must say, Golden Pizzeria was quite a surprise. I thoroughly enjoy eating their pizzas! Subsequent pizza orders from here have all been delicious! Of course, this doesn't compare to what NYC has to offer, but for a local pizza in Norfolk, not bad at all! :D I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an alternative to the usual fast food pizza favorites like Pizza Hut and Papa John's. read more

I am reading these reviews and am floored. We ordered a medium 1/2 and 1/2 pizza and it was delicious. Loved the crust, nothing was greasy at all. Delivery was prompt. Delivery driver was a little hard to understand, but that might have been me...lol. I might have had a better pizza but this one was very good and we might order from there again. read more

I remember driving by this place one time after a coworker got home. I was wondering what the food was like. Now, I got a chance to say that I went there and enjoyed some pizza. When it comes to the downsides, the atmosphere and the way the restaurant is set up is a negative, in my opinion. First, the dining area is really small, with only two available tables to sit on and eat. I know it is for take outs, but I feel like they could open the dining area a bit more. Covid is still a problem, but I feel like they could make more money if they open and work on renovating the dining area a bit more. Another thing I want to say is that it did look a but run down, and the stickers on it felt a little childish. Those factors do not mean they are a bad restaurant. The customer service I got at the place was really good. The person at the front desk was very nice by informing me that I could sit to enjoy my pizza and even checked on me. There were some conversations between coworkers, but I do not feel like there are any serious problems here. For the pizza, I got the Special Pizza. Before I came here, I read some reviews about the pizza here tasting worse than frozen pizza at a commissary. Honestly, I disagree because it tasted good by my standards. The dough did taste a little stale, but I was able to finish it. My food had quite a lot of interesting flavors on it from the Anchovies to the sweet peppers on it. Overall, I can understand if people do not like this place. I find that the food is pretty alright when it comes to the pizzas. It might not be recommended if you're looking for pizza from another town, but it is a pretty good pizza place for its area. Overall Review Positives - The staff was really nice. - Pizza was interesting and tasted good. - Price was reasonable. Negatives The store looks very old. - Small dining area. read more

I ordered NO CONTACT DELIVERY, which is offered on their website. after the delivery person banged on my door, called me repeated times, rang my doorbell, and actually higgled the door handle, I called to complain. Manager was rude and told me they don't offer no contact delivery. I told her it was offered on their website. she told me they would do it this one time, but not in the future. I told her I won't order from them again. just go ahead and order from CALZ and not this place. read more

Me and my husband decided to have pizza tonight and was really looking forward to getting it. We've been to this pizzeria plenty of times and it usually delivers. However, we ordered our pizza to be delivered to our house and our pizza was cold. We called the pizzeria to see if they would make any accommodation due to the lack of inconvenience. We were told that we couldn't get any accommodations. We asked to speak to the manager and the manager wasn't there but the owner was there. The owner declined to speak with us about his establishment and told us to wait till tomorrow to speak with his manager whereas the manager wouldn't be able to do anything as well. So being this is how they treat their customers who regularly buys from their establishment is so sickening. I will never go to this pizzeria nor will I ever tell people about this pizzeria. The owner is disrespectful and doesn't handle business correctly. read more

Got a Greek pizza it was horrible I looked the ingredients of a Greek pizza no where does it have jalapenos or being spicy will never eat there again then when we called to get them to get. Them to fix the problem the woman who answered told us we never have to eat there again after spending almost 30 dollars for one pizza read more

Ordered from Golden Pizzeria yesterday. Registering on their website offered 15% off for new customers, so I jumped on that deal. Got a large Gourmet Italian, Garlic Knots, Sm Greek Salad, and a slice of NY Cheesecake. Total came to roughly $32 plus tax/tip. Delivery was fast, and delivery guy was very polite. It seems they use a bit of a sweeter sauce, almost like a vodka sauce, but it's still very good. It isn't sweet enough to taste bad. Just pleasantly different. The garlic knots were tasty. The salad was fantastic. The slice of cheesecake was great. Overall, great experience! Will order from again as well as recommend to my coworkers and friends. read more

Lately I've been ordering from this restaurant and I have been treated so rudely and disrespectful in the tone of their voice and the attitude when you're spending 20 $30 on a pizza you just want it to look and be right but as you're giving them your business they act like they are doing you a favor I really don't appreciate the attitude of the people waiting on me at this restaurant read more

Terrible experience. I've never eaten here before but someone mentioned they like this place so I ordered a large special pizza with half cheese with calamari for our group. I do not eat meat for medical reasons. I received a medium special pizza with no calamari. When I called to get this dealt with I was told that they did indeed give me the correct order and I was mistaken even though I was looking right at it. I cannot eat this food so I am thoroughly pissed off that not only did they ruin my order but they would not even apologize or get me another order. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Best pizza delivery I've had in a while! Courteous, they called to verify my weird address and when they arrived. The pizza slices are the best and made to order! My food came hot, fresh and quickly!! Great way to end a fun Saturday! read more

Outstanding! I've ordered from this restaurant many times & have never left a review but I felt like I needed to today. The food is always fresh & hot. I've been ordering from other restaurants in my area & have been disappointed everytime which is why I felt a review was needed today. I usually forget about this restaurant bcuz it's a distance from my house but I can promise, the trip is worth it! There's so many options. I always order the gyros. My husband orders Italian & my daughter orders the steak subs. There's a wide variety to choose from to satisfy everyone. Thanks again Goldenpizzeria on Tidewater Dr. in Norfolk! read more

The worst pizza ever. Please don't waste your money or time getting pizza from this establishment. The pizza was nasty, it was like eating school pizza from the lunch room. I should have known when I pulled up it was not going to be good. You got me. Enjoy the fruits of my labor. read more

I went in on my way home close to their closing, and after closing my own restaurant. Not the average pizzeria, no slices out or anything prepped and out. I asked about slices and prepare food as I didn't want to inconvenience the kitchen. The owner ( guess) jumped in to tell me that everything was fresh and cooked to order. (Not the question) Her employee told her that I was simply trying not to have them cook after they've shut down. She claims it's fine so I order baked ziti with sausage. Easy........ right? I get home to find that I have received overcooked pasta and marinara sauce covered in a thick layer of mozzarella cheese. No ricotta, and the sausage while tasty was not Italian sausage and I was not three dollars worth of it. Incredibly disappointing I brought it back to the restaurant the next morning. I explained to the owner that the pasta was over cooked it was sitting in marinara sauce there was no ricotta and the sausage was not Italian sausage. She informed me that they do not serve pork, and that my order was their normal. Never again! Are you admit that you're normal is subpar good luck with business. read more

First time ordering from here, usually would just order from your average run of the mill pizza place but none were delivering so I gave this a try, pizza wise I'm not disappointed, pizza wise though, the fries I ordered is just average (Ordered the mega fries with cheese and bacon) and was nothing special but damn, this pizza took me to a whole new universe, whoever is working the back as of August 22nd around 9:30-10:30 give them a raise, they deserve it, pay for their college if anything, the people I shared it with didn't complain either, definitely ordering from here when I'm getting hungry, this pizza bussin in different algorithms. read more

Wow!! First time trying this place and let me just say I was blown away! The pizza is delicious and cooked perfectly. For my side salad, all of my order notes were followed. They made everything just the way I like it. Will definitely order again, and hope to dine in once all of this is cleared up. Thank you all! :) read more

Golden Pizzeria - Delicious cheese pizza!! One slice and it's huge! - Pizza Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Worst naked wings ever! After attempting to eat one it was so dry and flavorless! I tried to even soak one in some ranch to moisten it up and no help! My wife called the store and requested an replacement because they was clearly too dry to even enjoy! They told her that it was nothing they could do because that's how they make wings and it's clearly our preference that we liked softer wings??! So my wife had to drive to the restaurant and get a refund because they refused to do anything over the phone! The manager on duty either needs a vacation or a different profession because that's clearly not working for her! They lost our business! read more

Golden Pizzeria - Worst wings ever! - Pizza Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I am a lady who loves her pizza. Normally I get supreme, more times than not I get pepperoni but my all-time favorite is cheese. I was on Door Dash and loved the cheese pizza pic I saw and decided to try the pizza. I ordered a large cheese pizza with extra cheese and added ricotta for extra flavor and texture. I also ordered a slice of german chocolate cake. The pizza was okay but even though I added extra cheese they didn't add enough. The sauce on the pizza was virtually flavorless which I guess is preferable to not good but if a company has a milder flavored sauce they should probably offer garlic as a topping and offer Italian seasoning packets which make up for the lack of flavor. The pizza was super hot when it got here, cheese was gooey so that's a huge plus. The crust was also tasty and wasn't overbaked like some restaurants seem to like to do. I understand cooking to brown is considered "rustic" but I don't find hard brown crust charming. This was a nice light golden brown. Perfect crust. The cake wasn't good at all. No flavor except for the chocolate icing. Overall I think this place is okay. read more

This is a review about there door dash service. Backstory: I have a spoiled god daughter who knows how to get any and everything from me. She texted me and said daddy i am hungry i want some pizza . She doesn't live far, but i didn't feel like getting from call of duty ( its an xbox game) and going to get her pizza, so I ordered it for her. Scrolling through door-dash , i had to figure out where to order the food from. I found golden pizza, and I ordered thru the app. The app said it would be delivered in 30 mins. I order a large cheese pizza, now I ordered here before. I liked the pizza kind of, I think i ordered it wrong. Those who have followed my pizza test. So i order a pepperoni and sausage pizza with extra cheese. I didn't know they already put a gang of cheese on it, it was TOO much cheese. Now i know what you are thinking , how could it really be too much cheese, it just was take my word for it. It did taste good tho. So fast forward to my current order, I order a cheese pizza. The food was delivered in like 15-20 and my god daughter called me and said that the pizza was really good, and it was really cheese. She loved it. So, just note, if you order from here you dont have to order extra cheese. they put enough up there. read more

Restaurant was really backed up on orders. Went to pick up a pizza and the woman who seems to be the owner or the shift lead was running around with no mask on and was not following any guidelines. Woman was incredibly rude to me about my inability to speak. read more

First I wanna say, this place is AMAZING!! We Love, Love, Golden Pizzeria!! From their Pizzas, pastas, dinners, burgers , wraps, kids meals, appetizers, gyros, and clubs, from those items we've tried, they've been AMAZING! We eat there at least 3 times a month. We've only ever done delivery, and they're very prompt and polite. You can track your order and know where it's at, when it leaves the store, and when it's headed to you. We have never called in an order, we've only used their website. Which is easy to manage and find what you need. Their prices are reasonable and their proportions are generous. Especially with their pastas. Oh my gosh!! The Alfredo is ( chefs kiss ) THE BEST!! If you've not tried them. You NEED too!! read more

I'm a huge lover of pizza and when this place was recommended to us by some friends, we had to try it. Needless to say, we were not disappointed at all! Super cheesy and delicious all the way around and the pepperoni was perfect on there! If you like good pizza, check this place out, you will be happy you did, make sure to ask for extra cheese though, it's a must! read more

I am so excited to have found this place! The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. The 'slice' of pizza is a huge square, the baked ziti was smothered in mozzarella cheese and my husband said his Philly cheese steak was delicious. My son ordered the mega fries and we thought at first it was pasta because they were smothered in mozzarella cheese, with cheddar and bacon underneath. Today I ordered their Friday Flounder special which includes 2 flounder filets, French fries and a great side salad ( lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, onion and croutons) for $9.99. Saved half for later Definitely will be our new go to for real food, fast. read more

I got the baked shells and German chocolate cake. The shells weren't that good I didn't like the abundance of cheese they melted on top. It was so much cheese and so thick that when I tried to get a stuffed shell it would crumble into pieces. I threw out my meal. I deff will be back to try out the pizza - it has some great reviews! read more

Great pizza! Good price! Never had a problem with them delivering anything! Best pizza in the area hands down!!!

Ordered for years at both home addresses and the salon but for some reason tonight they mixed up a grilled chicken salad with oil and vinegar for a large chicken salad. I have a strict diet I explained I couldn't eat it to which she said you can get another salad but you'll pay for it. I paid the $12 and change and now I'll wait for a new delivery but before I could even say thank you after paying her again she hung up in my ear. I've never had a problem but tonight is rough especially since I've got the worst migraine and just want to eat and lay down. She was not very empathetic and didn't seem to care at all. Makes me sad about this experience. **Update** They definitely made me wait for the new salad. I've paid for it AGAIN and everyone has been done eating while I sit and wait oh so patiently for my replacement salad. I feel they're just being petty at this point. Salad doesn't take 45 minutes to make :*-( I will use a more genuine company going forward. The girl on the phone who took my order reluctantly informed me her name is Angie. read more

There's definitely about 10 other pizza places in Norfolk I'd suggest over golden. Most of their items are lacking seasoning and flavor, not to mention the quality of customer service lacks consistently. I made a lapse in judgement New Year's Day after a long night and decided to just give it one last shot *we live in the area and have tried to find something's on the menu that was worth a damn* & we order the pizza rolls and a sandwich to split. Well everything except the French fries didn't get eaten because the food was so bland. read more

I ordered a large cheese pizza and when I got home the pizza was extra greasy and was not cut at all it was a whole pizza. I wanted to call and inform the owner to watch the cooks that they didn't cut my pizza and she hung up on me Without a thank you or sorry I get it's not a big deal but to hang up on a regular customer that was unnecessary. read more

Great food, reasonable prices and fast delivery. I ordered the Italian trio and it was awesome. I would give 5 stars but I ordered a sandwich once and did not care for the yeasty bread. read more

Absolutely love ordering from here! They have the best extra cheese pizza! Have tried several items from here, wings, pizza, salad, even calamari! Everything is great! The woman who answers the phone to take your order is always so sweet! 100% recommend. read more

This place is disgusting!!! Ordered 2 grilled chicken salads and received 2 chicken salad salads! It was disgusting and when I asked for them to fix my order, they refused. They don't even have chicken salad salads on the menu!! Rude...will never order from them again. read more

My new favorite pizza place. I probably won't buy pizza anywhere else lol today was my first time trying it and I got a medium pepperoni pizza and even my baby girl kept giving it a thumbs up lol we will definitely be back again and I definitely recommend it !!! read more

I have been ordering from this place for years. And over the years the quality of food is declining, not to mention the customer service. I ordered online today Baked Ziti and 2 Large Greek Salads. When my order arrived, saw my Baked Ziti....but I saw two salads that had ZERO feta cheese. After all since im paying $7.45 per greek salad, I would like to see feta cheese on it. Irritated, I called back and the lady said the driver who delivered my food was the owner. She reassured me that he would be back out with "two huge salads with feta cheese." Well he was very timely with comimg back bjt was extremely rude when he asked for the other 2 salads back. When I told him I had gone through the salads , with a fork...he snapped back saying "why did you do that?" Lets see....to find the non existent feta cheese. I was sooo irritated with his attitude that I handed the salads back to him. So you would think after all that, the two salads he delivered back out where huge and with lots of feta cheese. NOPE....I think I counted 5 pieces of feta cheese on each. They lost a customer in me today. Will not be returning. read more

Quite a find! So far, I've tried the pizza, the gyro, chicken parm. sandwich and the Ceasars salad. All were very good. Delivery is free and the prices are quite reasonable. Delivery has been very quick. The gyros rate with the best in the ares, far better than I expected. The pizza has a better cheese than Domino's or Pizza Hut. read more
