Italian Hoagie
Kathleen D.

I've been doing my best to ward off the intense craving for Pizza Express since my visit. It's a good 12 minutes away, and I hate driving, so that has helped, but ugh - I'm still dreaming of their cheesesteak, Italian hoagie, and cheese pizza: aka, the trifecta of my favorite pizza-place foods. I'd dare say that the cheesesteak is one of the best in/around the city. I was the passenger in the car, and I couldn't resist immediately opening the packaging and going to town. It was half gone as we pulled into my building's garage. Seriously: deeeelicious. We got the pizza as light on sauce, and when my mom opened it at the counter to inspect it, her reaction was, "PERFECT!" Legit, so good. And it warmed up well, too! Also very important. I'm sure I'll be back soon when the craving is too much to dismiss!

The first time I tried this place I thought it was amazing. Then again, I may have been day drinking before ordering pizza that night.... With that said, I tried this place again and felt it was just mediocre. The pizza isn't bad but it didn't blow us away either. If I lived in the neighborhood, this would be a reliable 6 out of 10 pizza but I would not go out of my way for it. Sorry pizza express! I wanted to love y'all just as much the second time but it just wasn't as good :/

Sweet red chili Wings

I love love LOVE everything about this place, especially the wings. Their wings are fat and juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely try them with the sweet red chili sauce, it is amazinggg! The sizes for their pizzas seem bigger than other pizza places. We ordered a medium the first time and it looked like we got a large. I love that they don't skimp on the toppings and all of it is fresh. The only thing I'd change is to ask them to go light on the cheese. We didn't ask for extra but they were a bit heavy with the cheese both times we ordered, which is perfect for cheese lovers!

Born and raised in Brooklyn NY this is Great pizza and garlic knots! I'm a new fan!! Service was amazing as well.

Lasagna portion is huge!

Went here tonight based on an recommendation from an associate! They raged about their pizza but beings I had Belmont Pizza last night I decided to try some pasta! So I called the orders in and Sherri answered the phone and was super nice! I arrived within in the quoted timeframe and my order was ready! We ordered two cheesesteak combos (sub, fries and bottled soda)and two lasagna dinners (huge portion of lasagna, side salad and hot bread)! Couldn't catch the pics fast enough but when I say plenty of food for your money! The lasagna was tasty and the salad super fresh oh and warm homemade bread! They also run specials on top of their reasonably priced entrees! We will most definitely return! #stuffed #italianfood

The interior is small with only 1 or 2 half tables and some stool chairs.

An ad in a local flyer brought my fiancee and I to Pizza Express recently. It's rare that I agree with both the negative and positive reviews of a place on Yelp, but Pizza Express is both delicious and disappointing at the same time. (Explanation shortly!) --Food: We ordered our staple pizza: Medium Half Cheese, Half Pepperoni. We ate it there as we normally do, and at first we were very impressed. The sauce is seasoned well unlike some of the blandness of local competition. The pizza has a very nice taste to it as a whole. The crust is nice and firm and has a nice crispness to it. At first. Here comes the disappointing part. In the middle of the second piece, the ingredients and overall grease sets in hard. What was once a crisp piece of pizza is now a soggy piece of dough struggling to hold up its ingredients. I see exactly why people mention that their delivery pizza is greasy and soggy. Now, as odd as it sounds, it doesn't make it a terrible pizza. It still has a nice taste overall, and honestly, it doesn't taste greasy (despite it becoming a soppy mess). On a side note, they have a huge menu with other Italian things like Pasta and Sandwiches. some of them looked pretty good, so it's not out of the question to try these in the future. --Cost: A medium with one topping was about $11. About even with local competitors. --Atmosphere: There is one table outside and a couple seats inside. The inside seats appear to be more used for waiting and not dining in. This actually raises a real problem since I don't think I would want to wait 10 minutes to eat the pizza as I fear it might become too soft to eat then. Delivery would add an extra 10 minutes probably. It's not that it's not a nice atmosphere, it's just not ideal for eating a pizza that doesn't do well with time passing. --Service: The staff were all pleasant and seemed to enjoy working there. No problems here. They did provide napkins and plates when we said we were eating it there. --Overall: I'm really torn on my opinion here. If I were to rate my experience based solely on the first slice, I'd easily give it a 4 or 5. However, based on the last two slices (and the last one specifically), it starts to become difficult to eat and enjoy. I think the overall experience is greatly hindered by this. I'm not saying I wouldn't eat here again, as I probably would. It's just an unfortunate situation of a good tasting pizza that doesn't hold up well.

I have a full-on love affair with Zorch Pizza. I crave it. I think about it when I shouldn't. And…read morewhile they've got more than one location, this review is strictly for Carytown because that's my spot. The vibes are always right. It feels like community the second you walk in. Hector is the coolest, hands down--great energy, great personality, the kind of person who makes you want to come back. Oh and did I mention you can get pizza by the slice! The variety is mind blowing and they always have vegan options!!!!! I'm a thin-slice person. I need the right ratio of crust to sauce to toppings, and Zorch nails it every time. Plus, no flop! The cheese slice is a classic and was my favorite... until I discovered The Upside Down. Listen, when I bite into that slice, I literally close my eyes. I see a lot of people say it's greasy. For this one, grease me down baby. The flavor does everything it needs to do. Layered, bold, and honestly addictive. After that slice, I don't even want a regular one anymore. Next up on my list: The Grandma. And for context, I've had Angelo's in Philly. Respectfully? It doesn't compare. Sorry to all the other grandmothers out there lol. One note though-it's heavy on the garlic, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pivot. If it is your thing? Strap in. It's been a few years since I've been able to say I found a legit pizza spot in RVA. A spot that I bring others to often! I'm happy to say I've found my pizza home. Much love to the Zorch crew. See y'all soon!

Pretty good and fast pizza place! Got the white out and was cheesy! I bet this place would be hype…read moreat night, with the bar scene feel. We went here mid afternoon and it was pretty chill. Definitely would go again for the other pizzas.

This is our second time at The Black Olive. In my first review I would not have returned. It was a…read moreclose friend of mine birthday celebration. Upon entering we were greeted and the host walked us down to the lower level. We had six tables reserved. The bartender came over immediately and took our drink orders and small plate orders. We didn't want any hookah but it was offered. We later ordered a pizza as well later on. Our food was better than expected. The prawns were flavorful, the meatballs weren't warm enough but had some spice to it and were larger than expected. The Caesar salad had kale and red onion in it which was different. We enjoyed the food and the vibe on the lower level was better. The pizza could use more sauce and the cheese had a nice pull to it. The meat on the pizza didn't taste frozen at all. We had to ask for refills a few times, but the server did a good job considering she had at least 20 people to serve.Overall, better this time around.

My cousin introduced me to this place yesterday and I truly enjoyed It…read more Since it's a pizzeria, of course we had pizza! We had "The New Yorker" and "The Wire". Both were very delicious. The New Yorker was a cheese pizza while The Wire was a Crab Pizza with pesto sauce. I didn't get a picture but the cheese pull was insane on both! The drinks were good as well. I had the "Pornstar Martini" while my cousin had the "Velvet Notes" I love how the restaurant has 3 different parts. The right side was for the conservatives, the left was for the not so conservatives and the basement was where the party and hookah was at. The only downside of this place, was the service. It was sooo slow! Although, our bartender "Devin" made some amazing drinks!
