    I finally made it to Mungo! I love all pizza styles, but I'm especially picky about NY thin and Detroit -- and balance always matters. Pizzeria Mungo advertizes as "artisan NY style" and they did not dissappoint! Overall great crust and sauce balance. Good flavor. A solid NY-style slice I would order again. And will get a whole pie next time Other notes: You can order ahead online or thru kiosok inside. Only 2 small tables - really meant for takeout only Private parking lot (rare for Scotts Addition) My Pizza-specific scale: 1 Cheese Quality & Performance: Flavor; Melt quality; Stretch without greasiness. Stays put (doesn't slide off in one dramatic bite) 1 Sauce Flavor, Texture & Ratio, Flavor depth Texture (not watery, not paste) Ratio to cheese (supporting role, not the main character) 1. Crust Flavor, Texture & Structure 1. Style Execution & Balance: Does it nail its intended style? Ingredient harmony 1. Overall Satisfaction & Value: Would I order it again? YES

    Yay, a parking lot. Small establishment with about two tables and eight chairs total, so if you're just grabbing a quick slice by yourself or with a friend, you will have somewhere to sit. However, probably not the best setting for a family or large group. They have kiosk ordering which is nice, and I'm so happy they offer individual slices (they ask whether you'd prefer a plate or box which was nice). A whole pie will run you at least $28, but the slices are about $5 each on average. I ordered a slice of cheese, a slice of pepperoni, a side of house-made pesto, and a side of house-made ranch. After all that plus tax and tip, my total was $18. The pizza and sauces were definitely tasty but not worth the price. I love a delicious, thin, NY style pizza, and this almost hit the spot; I just wish their cheese was a little bit stronger and sharper. I might return as I am curious about their full pie flavors, but I can't justify going regularly.

    Sausage and ricotta!

    Delicious, high quality pizza. We had a build your own - double pepperoni. Outstanding and cooked to perfection. Chef Mungo is a pizza guru!! They open the box and inspect with you to ensure your pizza is cooked to your liking. We also had the sausage and ricotta. OH MY!!!! I believe they are the best in RVA for NY style. Best I've had along the east coast. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

    Came in for a pie for lunch. We ordered the specialty pizza of the day and it was AMAZING! Ang was super sweet and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in the door. We will definitely be back!

    Inside counter. Easy ordering

    I got a cheese slice with hot honey, and ricotta and ranch on the side. Absolutely delicious, first time here and definitely will be back

    Self ordering @ kiosk

    Came at 4 PM on a Saturday and even though they were moderately busy for the time of day, our two pizzas were ready in about 15 to 20 minutes. Although the pizza is a little on the pricey side, they are 18 inch pies and the quality is definitely worth the price. We got the ricotta classic ($28) and classic cheese ($22). While both delicious, the ricotta one was definitely superior. I'd say this rivals Zorch as the best pizza in Richmond. Highly recommend!

    I do think it's one of the top pizzas in Richmond. No it is not a gourmet pizza no but it's pretty close to New York pizza. They have like two tables so most of its takeout. some people found the sauce a little spicy. It definitely had a little bit of it, but it wasn't like overbearing. I think they're using strong. Good quality ingredients. They're very large pizzas. I think I give it an A-.

    Double pepperoni and mushroom
    Brandon E.

    No Flop!!! Top grade ingredients,No Flop!! Crisp crunchy texture, No Flop! Under carriage to die for, No Flop!! Excellent sauce, cheese and toppings beautifully made with NY Love. No other pizzeria can beat this. Held its flavor and texture the day after( Very important) Rungo to Mungo!!!

    Large pizza

    Great pizza and service. Came to town with the family to do a Pizza tour and pizzeria mango is by far the best pizza we've had today.

    BYO cupping pepperoni and portabello mushrooms. Great NY style pizza with a side of ranch that was delicious

    Great NY style pizza I had a BYO with cupping pepperoni and portabello mushrooms with a side of ranch that was delicious! Super friendly staff and quick takeout service. They have a few tables inside and a bunch more outside.

    Cheese slice - amazing!
    Beez M.

    New Yorkers / NY pizza snobs - this place is IT. Perfect crispy crust, bright sauce (well-seasoned/not sweet), high-quality cheese, and not too greasy or salty. Amazing well-balanced pizza perfection. Owner on site was super friendly and attentive...though I do love a grumpy NY pizzaiolo. Moved here a few months back after years in NY/LA and have been bummed at how weak the pizza game is here. Zorch has its moments but mostly in Carytown location. And not nearly as good in either shop. So...get out and support what is easily the best pizza in RVA! Hopefully this place gets huge and opens a shop out toward 288. If not, happy to make the drive to get more. 5 stars all around and much gratitude!

    This is legit NY style pizza. It's somewhat pricy but that's justified given no real competition in the area.

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!

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.

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.
