I used to love the Original Italian Pizza in Lynchburg--it's been one of my go-to spots. Unfortunately, after my last order, I have to say I'm really disappointed. The pizza had a strange sweetness to it, which felt really off, and the quality just wasn't what it used to be. I hope they can bring back the old flavor, but right now, it's not the same experience I remember. read more

One day, I was craving for a burger and didn't want to drive to Chili's so, I decided to give this place a try. To my disappointment, that was the worst burger I've ever had....not to mention how salty it was. I also ordered the mozzarella sticks and the marinara sauce tasted like a tomato sauce straight outta the can. I can't even imagine how their pizza taste like and I don't wanna know. Service was great, but this place can do better if they really want to. There weren't many people when I went and it seems like the ones coming are those who knows the people that works there/owns the place. read more

Hadn't eaten here in 10 years, and it was probably 10 years since the time before that. But came this time with a group. The last time I ate here, the bread was very yeasty, which overpowered the pizza. I realize anyone can have an off night, but it kept me away for a while. I hoped this time would be better. OIP is a place that you either love or can't stand. I haven't found too many people in the middle. (Also haven't found too many that love it either). Unfortunately I am one of the people who has never had a good experience there. This review is of this most recent time. Came with a group, so I understood that food prep times may be longer due to the volume of people. I placed our order as soon as we sat down to get it in right away to help with the wait time. I then proceeded to spend the next hour and ten minutes watching everyone in our group get their food. AND every other table around us that came in after us get their food (and some pay and leave) and I wondered where our food was. Then the waitress, who basically ignored us the whole time, comes up and asked what we ordered. Not a good sign. I said what we ordered and she said, "oh, I think I put in the wrong ticket." and walked off. No sorry. No oops, let me make this right. No, let me comp this. No let me get you an appetizer to hold you over. Nothing that could have smoothed things over. I was understanding these things happen, but there was no customer service at all. No willingness to work with us. Just an annoyed waitress. 15 minutes later, as she took the plates of the others in our group, I asked her I cancel our order. She said that I couldn't because she has the order almost ready. I explain that our group was done and wanting to leave. But she didn't care. She brings two of the three things (one of the two things brought was the wrong order). All mediocre. I wait five more minutes, and nothing else came. I went to the counter. Again asked that my order be canceled and I would pay for the two items I did get. (Even if one of the two was wrong). Again, no apologies, no offer to make it right, no discount, nothing comped. I got an annoyed look, and argumentative reason why it wasn't their fault, on top an attitude towards me for not wanting to wait over 1-1/2 hours, and to eat after our group left. Finally I was told that the last item I ordered was in the oven and almost done, and they could give it to me to go. When I saw it, it was severely over cooked, like it was cooked at a higher temperature to get it done faster. Don't know if that was vindictive or just sloppy. Either way, not a good ending. There will not be another 10 year gap in going back to OIP. Because, that will be my last visit. Read the other reviews, and see similar stories of annoyed workers and poor service. Also the food is mediocre at best. Avoid. Visit one of the many other better Italian places in town (one is just down the road on Timberlake, another is a non-chain place on Wards Rd) and get a much better experience and food. read more

Good pizza buffet! Decent for the prices. Just a good college town pizza place. Don't expect to get 5 star pizza, but better than cicis

Best wings in town!!! They also have a great dinner menu and they don't skimp you on the servings. And my mom loves the lunch buffet. It's a place i return to regularly even if I just want some garlic knots. Even though it's a pizza place that's never what I order. read more

Horrible experience with this location that I visit very often. Received an item yesterday that was missing an item. Called immediately after we noticed the mistake. Employee instructed us to come another day and they would fix the mistake with a credit for the menu item. Called tonight, and was told that they wouldn't honor the credit because we should've brought the incorrect item back. Ten percent off is all they would give. Why does the customer suffer because the employee doesn't know the company's policy and/or restaurant got order wrong in the first place? After being called sweetie was too many times, I informed them that I wouldn't be visiting their establishment anymore. read more

We love that this is so close to our home because the food is great! We tried the ziti primavera and the baked spaghetti and both were great. read more

Staff was rude. I was ignored at the pick up counter for the longest time by the pizza maker. When a man finally came from out back and looked like he hated his life, never once made eye contact....just took my money and put the food up for me to accept. There was two couples in the dining room and no one else at the counter. Decent food but I experienced this same attitude and treatment from the staff at the Forest Road location when it existed...it's what stopped me from going there as well. I really was hoping this was going to be a pleasant experience but sadly it was not. read more

Love the Kings Special pizza. It has everything on it. We got a large & hubby & I ate off of it for days.

We enjoy OIP on a regular basis. Pizzas are delicious, crust is just the right thickness and flavor, subs are tasty, and main entrees are satisfying. Often, we go to their Sunday buffet after church. The selections are good, and they do their very best to keep things fresh and hot. Sometimes when it is busy, service suffers, but that can be expected. I wanted to give it a 4.5 but I'm unable to do so. Give OIP on Waterlick Road a try! read more

First time getting pizza here , it was a nice and open place. The staff seemed nice enough and helpful. There was a weird smell to the pizza but it okay. read more

The pizza sauce taste like ketchup and pizza was undercooked. I don't know how you can possibly make pizza this awful.

This place is horrible. Well the food is mediocre it the staff is rude as all get out. The server seemed to inebriated and was super slow. She took our checks rang them out and never brought them back. There was something in my glass of water and she tried to convince me that it was nothing and to drink it anyway. The owner was rude and acted like he didn't want us there. It was odd because the staff was friendly to all the older white people but our young mixed raced table was treated like garbage. read more

Very good spot! We long the sweet chilli sauce wings. And the pizza is good. Very surprised that the place is not as busy as it is. It has steady traffic but you can always find a table. I'm glad I found this spot. read more

The pizza is very cheesy and the pricing is affordable. it would be nice if they were a little quicker making the food, but it's worth the wait. The front ladies can get busy & not be in the front, so waiting for them can stink. Once my coworker got yelled at for having a to-go box of their food when she ordered ahead of time and told them we'd be eating in the dining area. They need to calm down a little and relax. read more

Prices are decent, food is ok. Not bad but not great. Location is 5 stars, very convenient. Would probably come here regularly if the service didn't suck. Also the atmosphere would be nicer if they had tablecloths. read more

I had takeout pizza there last night it was very very good, they have a special two large 1 topping pizzas for $20. If you add an extra topping they over charge. Great pizza , high cost on toppings. Italian style pizza not thin crust. read more

Great Italian pizza, great subs, great calzones, generous portions, nice servers, comfortable atmosphere.

I came here looking for baked ziti because I wanted some so bad. But what I got was ziti noodles in a spaghetti sauce. None of the extra cheeses that goes inside baked ziti. I'm not saying it was nasty, it just wasn't baked ziti. I had to add lots of Parmesan cheese. My boyfriend loved his pizza though. read more

Average pizza. The place isnt bad and the food is inexpensive but it's not going to leave a lasting impression either. There are many better options around. read more

They have digital coupons on their website for takeout only but will not accept them unless they are printed out. What use is it to have digital coupons and not accept them on a digital device... Not worth my time to deal with customer service that awful. read more

Food is always great!! Amazing calzones, pizza, cheese steaks subs and pasta! Good prices too.
