    Smoke Show Pizza
    Ryan R.

    What a gem!?! We stopped in on our way to OBX and couldn't have been more pleased with our decision. We got the Smoke Show and Buffalo Chicken pizzas and each of them were excellent. They were both unique in their flavors and so delicious! The crust was absolutely incredible. We were immediately greeted by the owner and other staff members. They were all friendly and helpful. We did carry out but the dining space was a modern take on a classic pizzeria, with about 7-8 small/medium sized tables. Make sure to make The Box Pizzeria your stop to or from OBX, trust us you won't be sorry! PS sorry for the half eaten pizza photo, we couldn't wait to dive in.

    Tucked away in the Port Norfolk area of Portsmouth lies some of the best pizza you'll find in Hampton Roads at Pizza Box. My homegirl and I were hungry and wanted to try something in an area we don't normally dine in, so we ended up here. They have so many options, and each one looked just as delicious as the last, but after looking over the menu, we decided on making our own Stuffed pizza with mozzarella, meatball, pepperoni, sausage, and ham, as well as a side of cheese sticks. Everything was the bomb! The sauce was flavorful, and they were not skimpy on the cheese and the toppings by any means on both the pizza and the cheese sticks; moreover, I wish I lived closer because Pizza Box would be my go-to place to order pizza. I only have one criticism of this place; I'm a man who likes dipping sauces (garlic, ranch, etc.) When I eat pizza and this place doesn't offer any. Other than that this place is A1 when it comes to serving up pizza.

    We used Box Pizzeria to cater our son's rehearsal dinner and everything was amazing. Great pizza , great service and wonderful communication. Definitely recommend for your dinner out , to go or any catering needs .

    This is leftovers. Oh my YUM

    We absolutely love going to The Box, even under new management. It's an amazing local/hole in the wall place that you would never expect the experience to be the way it is. Small little joint that brings so much joy and yummiest to your belly. The decor and employees were a delight. The food is outright amazingly/beyond great. It's on my top fav pizza's I have EVER had. The sauce is light and the flavor and crust is on point. We eat here almost every week. I LOVE IT HERE.

    Nothing like "rounding out Pi day" (3.14) at a new (to me) NY style pizza place. I'd heard the name but am rarely in P-Town; got to know the owner and NY native "Tony" (of course) when he ran "Sandwich Box" in Norfolk. Called in an XL cheese for pickup to really assess taste (sauce, cheese, dough), texture (crust, bake) and temperature. Bo toppings to hide behind, right? Also ordered 2 more XL specialty pizzas; to test their service accuracy, each "pie" had 2 different specialty halves: half pork meats + half broccoli/spinach; onions/tomato on half steak/chimichurri, half lamb/feta. As a chimi fiend, I was STOKED it was an option and couldn't wait to taste it. Order was ready when promised and totaled ~$60 with tip. Side note: would have been nice to know the Thurs special (2 XL 1 toppings for $26) before I ordered. Excellent product with the right dough/sauce/cheese ratio, cooked to a functional texture that offered a fresh doughy, yet secure base with give. Pizza slice DID NOT flop/collapse when picked up and WAS NOT an overly solid plank diving board that painfully stretched your cheeks to chew. The sauce was flavorful, cheese was very good (not the best but not worse), and ingredients were fresh. Specialty pizzas were prepared correctly. Chimi pizza was slightly above average, yet hard to detect chimi taste. I'm not a fan of onions but I'd order it again with a request for extra extra chimi sauce or perhaps subbing it over the red sauce entirely? If ever in p-town again, you can bet I'll be back for more pizza, even if it's not Pi day!

    Thought I would test the waters and see if a revisit would be as good as the last. They did not disappoint. The decor as always was welcoming and the food once again was delicious. Being able to order thru a service specialist or use the kiosk makes ordering easy and expedited. Highly recommend.

    I remember eating from this place years ago but I couldn't recall if it was very good or not good…read morebut in my mind I said it must be very good cuz it's coming to mind. As a result, my husband and I went by here yesterday to pick up two large pizzas for a pizza party we were having for my aunt who's celebrating another birthday. Happy birthday Aunt Donna! Nevertheless, we arrived about 3:30p 3:45p on a Saturday and it wasn't busy at all. My husband was able to walk in order two pizzas and we were in and out and about 20-25 minutes. We drove another 15 minutes to the house before we began to dive into the pizza. We ordered the thin crust with only pepperoni and oh my gosh it was so good!! Again we attended a pizza party and this was the best pizza hands down out of I think six places people brought pizza from this was the first to go so good so fresh! I love thin crust highly recommend you check out Rita's if you haven't before. The parking no issue at all and you don't necessarily need to call it in either you can just walk up order your pizza and get it in a reasonable amount of time. It's located in a shopping center in Portsmouth so you have other shops that you can browse around well not necessarily shop, but I believe there is a brewery next door but your time will not be wasted while waiting for this goodness! Have fun and enjoy life :)

    Definitely Mom and Pop vibes. I was looking for a local pizza place and this was the closest. I…read morecalled in my order and they did sound busy. I was a lot closer than I thought so I waited for my pizza. If you don't want to wait there Momac brewery is next door......just saying. There is no dining, take out only. It is old school for sure.....nothing fancy. Loved it. They got my order done fast and right. I took it home and everyone liked the pizza. It's a thinner crust and I enjoyed the pizza. Perfectly cooked. The Greek Salad was good but I have had better. Very basic with canned olives and iceburg. Good enough. I would order again when I am at my moms and she is wanting a pizza with peppers and onions. It's also reasonably priced and they do have some carry out specials.

If you have TV's in the dining area or you serve pizza or beer? It's not fancy. The cake was really good. The pasta wasn't bad. Bread could've been better. Salad was fine. I'd go back if I had some money to spend and was in the area.

    If you're in Norfolk VA, Benny Damato's Pizza is definitely worth a stop! We tried both the…read morepepperoni and the sausage slices, and they were delicious- foldable crust and great flavor. The slices are HUGE! I couldn't believe how big they were. Our two teenagers split a single slice and were perfectly happy. One thing to note is they don't have ice if you like ice for your soda, but we were able to get some next door. We're in town for a conference and loved finding a great local pizza spot within easy walking distance of our hotel. Fast, delicious, and a fun local find. We'd definitely come back the next time we're in Norfolk!

    I've been going to Benny D'Amato's Pizza for years, especially when I used to work downtown. I…read morestopped going for a while, but I recently came back for their 10-year anniversary $1 cheese slice special--and it took me right back. Still just as good. The slices here are HUGE--like, you need two plates just to hold one. It's super filling and definitely worth the price (usually around $5 for a cheese slice, a little more for toppings). I'm not normally a thin crust person, but their thin crust is actually really good. The cheese is flavorful, the crust has a great texture, and even a plain slice hits. That said, I'd definitely recommend trying one of their specialty slices too. The shop itself is pretty small with limited seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. During lunch rush, it can get packed, but service is usually quick and the staff has always been friendly in my experience. They also have extras like Parmesan and peppers so you can dress up your slice however you like. Overall, if you're in downtown Norfolk and want a solid, no-frills pizza spot with massive slices, this is definitely the place to go.
