    A no frill pizza place that's right on Main St, perfect place for a quick bite when you're out for drinks. The pizza came out fresh and hot, no surprises there. The side of complimentary garlic sauce was a nice touch. When you're hungry after drinks and it's late, this is the place to be.

    The pizza is about a 7.5 only because I needed it to give me NY style. Not bad at all for $14.

    Get your pizza made fresh before buying a slice that's been sitting. Only saying this because I'm not sure how long they sit behind the glass. Overall, I would choose this over the other pizza chains. Only because it was fresh, hot and had real ingredients. Decent quality cheese.

    Got 2 slices and a soda $6

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat while working. This is one of the better slices of pizza I have had in VA. The dough was nice and thin and had a great crispyness to it. So if that is what you like in pizza this is the spot. Didn't go 5 stars because the place is a little sketchy. They want you to pay only in cash. And they have an ATM there for you to take out cash if you don't have it. I guess it is a good way to save some money for them. It is open until midnight I think. They only sell pizza by the slice after a certain hour. Good idea. I'm sure they make good money when everyone leaves the bar just selling $2.50 slices. The place is a little run down inside. The bathroom is all tagged up and the mirror is broken. So my advice is come during the day when there will be less of a rowdy crowd.

    Ordered through Grubhub. Arrived on time, though the driver wouldn't bring it into the hotel lobby. I had to walk outside and get the pizza from him. That's a Grubhub driver issue. Ordered a 22" onion, sausage, and mushroom. Completely burned and inedible garbage. I contacted the restaurant. They basically said "F- you". So, I had to get a refund via Grubhub. Don't order from this disgrace of a restaurant, unless you want issues...

    The Pizza Place.  Not too far from the beginning of the Canal Walk.

    Summary: The Pizza Place is a NY Style pizza joint that offers pizza as well as some non-traditional items like Jamaican Beef Patties. Cost: We had 4 slices and 2 bottled beverages for $15. Seems fair. Taste: Crispy and tasty. I think good pizza is either crispy and thin, or deep dish and buttery, and The Pizza Place has some darn good crispy crust. The sauce actually was quite good as well, probably due to the visible herbs and seasoning on top. I have certainly had some worse pizzas in my life. Atmosphere: When we first walked in I was honestly a bit apprehensive. It was a bright day and the inside was quite dark and had a slightly scary feel to it. Let's just say it doesn't have the environment of a family restaurant. You can actually purchase condoms here, which I'm not sure about you, but I have never had the option to buy a Slice, Soda, and Protection before all at one place. However, and this is a big however, once we sat down and our eyes adjusted, it's not such a bad place. Who am I to say that a place shouldn't have Disney on Ice promotional cards right next to Night Club flyers with explicit titles? The place does what it is passionate for and they have good pizza, so I really can't judge. Service: There was one staff member working there and he greeted everyone as "Boss". He seemed genuine and knew what he was doing. All in all a cool guy. Overall: On a recent Talk post, some fellow Yelpers suggested The Pizza Place as a place to go for slices. I stand by their suggestions and would definitely come back for a slice if I were in the area. Would I come at night? Probably not, and not without a group. But if you're walking around the area in the day or in between classes and want a place for a nice piece of crispy and flavorful pizza at a fair price, definitely check it out.

    Sophia and I ate here for lunch on July 4th. This has been a very good spot to eat hot dogs for…read moreyears. Every stop has resulted in very good meals, no bad moments here at all. Let's see how this stop turned out. We were able to get a table during lunch time where there was a good crowd on hand. Since it was the 4th, I expected there would be a few more. The staff was pretty busy taking care of diners and orders ready for takeout. It was a little warm inside, but it wasn't a surprise given the weather was really hot. And there was a fan literally behind is blowing out much needed air. The special they had for the 4th was $2.50 corn dogs and $2.50 PBR beer. We said no to beer, but couldn't resist corn dogs. My order consisted of two of them and a small order of cheese curds. Sophia ordered two corn dogs and a Roadhouse hot dog. This was the first time in a long time I'me had corn dogs so I couldn't resist given the special. And boy did they deliver. I actually started to get full after eating my first one. They were really good and well cooked. And great call to add cheese curds to the meal. Tasted great especially with the sauce. Sophia enjoyed her selections and had leftovers to take home as well. There you have it. Another great lunch for the two of us. We'll be back soon :)

    Another fun and "low-key" romantic Valentine's Day dinner!…read more Food, service and atmosphere were perfect and fun! Love that we got to do this again and appreciate the whole evening! I even stepped outside of my plain hot dog and got the Carolina dog with pulled pork, bbq sauce and coleslaw' so yummy! Also tried the pickle fries for the first time and they were delicious! Dominion Dogs never disappoints!

    As always, the parking here was easy, even though it has street parking. We arrived on a Thursday…read morenight, around 8 o'clock, and it was already starting to pick up. The bar was getting full, but there were still a few tables left to choose from. This is a dive, similar to Poe's Pub, so if that's not your scene, don't come here. That said, we really like the character of this place, even if it smells a little funky upstairs. It adds to the character and charm, or at least, that's what we tell ourselves. The same bartender as usual (still don't know his name) helped us. They do have a sour beer. It's not as fruity as I like, though, still passable. (Seriously, Patrick Henry's, y'all need to order some from Texas and Oklahoma sours for the real deal; Martin House Brewing Co. in Ft Worth does them so right). Anyway, we ordered the goat cheese bread appetizer (warm apple butter, goat cheese, and sunflower seeds = immense pleasure). For entrees, I grabbed the Hot Chicken Pizza (hot sauce and pickles!), and my partner went for the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. There was so much food that we had leftovers, as usual. They heated up well in the air fryer and were nearly as good. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. I will admit, it does look slightly seedy, but the food here is magnificent. The pizza was thin, crispy, and full of delicious flavor. I swear, the chefs here know what they are doing with their menu. It's simple, yet elegant. The appetizers are simple, yet they easily compete with The Brooklyn and Pinky's apps, for example, which are more affordable and in a more relaxed environment. Do yourself a favor and get the goat cheese. It sings. The customers here are chill and interesting, and the bartender is calm and cool; he never seems out of sorts, even when the bar is full with a line out the door. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick Henry's. We have been here twice now, and the service and food have been excellent both times (Sept 2025, May 2026).

    Ungracious service. One of the more disrespectful fast…read moreGuinness pour I've had. Average food. Loved it. Will return and bring friends.... not because the service is cute, it's not... but because the place is awesome, open late, with food till 1:30. We need to support pubs like this. Go there. Love it. Don't tell anyone.
