Came here for lunch and enjoyed our meal. The boneless chicken in bbq sauce was chunks of chicken breasts which was very tasty and the penne Villa Nova was delicious! Service was excellent. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Outstanding pizza. The entire menu is excellent. The pricing is very fair. You get a large amount of food for the price.

Friday nite we go in and all the empty seats have reserve sign on them !! We waited 5 minutes and no one came to help us ! We went blue 53 next door ! Great burger! Thanks guys ! read more

See all

The Villa Nova specialty pizza is to die for. Excellent crust and toppings. Service is hit or miss. They usually only have one server working the entire dining room, so depending on how crowded they are, will determine your quality of service. They do a lot of takeout so that can factor into your wait time. read more

Our high school class from Open Door Christian School went to Villa Nova's for lunch and the experience was great! Our waitress was super kind and welcoming. She gave us our menus and drinks right away. I ordered chicken alfredo and it was so cream and delicious! It also came hot. I also enjoyed how they gave us great seating and the place was very clean! It was one of the nicest Italian Restaurants! read more

The food quality has gone down a bit, use to be a lot better but now it's just ok. Overall food is ok, service is fine. But it doesn't have the same taste anymore. Still decent tho read more

This is the best pizza I've had (in NY, Cal, anywhere). Really nice people too! Always a great meal! Try to go every week!

Stopped in for a couple of slices. Crust was crunchy. Sauce did not have a lot of flavor.

Need to listen to people when they place an order. Placed an order for MILD Traditional wings. Drove 20 minutes to pick up and said they made them BBQ and had no more wings. What a waste... Would give a zero if I could read more

Ngl.. Ive been looking and searching for a good spot for bacon cheese fries and this wonderful lady that took my order on Sept 2nd.. I forgot her name but she steered me into the right direction... I promise none of you will never be disappointed lol... also I found out the pizza there got a bit of an upgrade.. don't get me wrong it was already amazing but it's something that they did to make it taste better.. Shoutout to everyone on the team read more

I had a delicious eggplant parm sub today. The bread was just so good! Better than any I have had since moving to Virginia. Order was ready as promised and everyone in the restaurant staff greeted and thanked me. read more

The business has been sold recently. Pizza was horrible, hardly any toppings. It's sad, i lived in Fluvanna for over 25 years. They had the best pizza until the last time I went. I was told someone in Charlottesville purchased the place. I'll never go back. Terrible pizza and certainly not worth the money. read more

Used to be good GF pizza... now cardboard with toppings... After 16 years, yesterday was my last order from here... Its a shame, used to be good. They need to step-up their game. read more

Gave 'em another chance. Three good pies in a row. No burn and the lady helping was very nice. Willing to upgrade the review.

Closest thing to a slice from Brooklyn compared to the other chucky cheese pizzeria we have in lake Monticello If you like me and love real pizza ask for it well done . It's that Gooood read more

I placed an order at 5PM and figured my order would be ready in 15-20 min (shame on me). When we arrived to pick-up our pizzas I was told they wouldn't be ready till 6:10. The restaurant had two large tables marked reserved... probably fit 16-20 people. I was told that my order had been pushed back till 6:10 PM due to food prep for the large party coming in. So we requested a refund for our order and the mgr had to approve it. We expressed our displeasure for this extended wait on a to go order. Steve told me that the large party had 5 large pizzas, but that they had several call in orders ahead of us. Funny thing... there weren't any pizzas that were being made. Very disgusted is their service or lack thereof! Won't be going back there again. Their competitor took my carry out order ASAP and told me the order would be ready in 15 min. Gia will be my source for all to go pizza orders going forward. read more

Overall, the food is decent quality. For a family owned Italian style restaurant in central Virginia. I have noticed that they are quite slow at times in getting your order out for takeout or sit down. Much better than the chain, dominoes or Papa John's and provide for reasonably priced decent Italian food at Lake Monticello . read more

Improved decor is light and open. The menu is slightly different, but comparable to the old menu. Great food and service! Overall: a very pleasant experience! read more

This pizza is the real deal. When you take your first bite you will be hooked. The wings are awesome, something that once you try you will want more. The service is quick and timely. The staff have been great to talk to. Friendly faces, great food. You have a customer that will keep coming back. read more

Bought a large cheese pie here for take-out about a week ago. Price was $16. Just ordered and picked up same this evening. Price had been jacked up to $24. That's a 50% increase. Outrageous - and what a rip-off! Gouging at its worst. On top of that, VN's pizza is mediocre at best, and of inconsistent quality. Pass the word to stay away from this eaterie. Pappa John's and Domino's never looked better. Suggest you make the switch too. read more

I have not eaten in the restaurant but I have ordered takeout a few times. This is my go-to restaurant for pizza in the area. I've had the Villa Nova's Special and the Margherita - both are excellent options. They have gluten free crust which is a plus! I would also recommend the Italian Sub! read more

This place and their quality has steadily diminished since it sold. They actually have a sign up that says you should check your to go orders. Why? Because they cannot train the staff to do a good job. Consistency for the food is hit and miss. read more

Ever since this restaurant was bought out by a new owner, the food has gone straight downhill. They used to make the best pizza in the whole county. Now, the pizza is just awful. There's no tomato sauce...just a smear of what looks like plain canned crushed tomato. The crust is paper thin, gummy, and tasteless. The cheese isn't cooked long enough, so it's chewy instead of gooey. After many years of going to Villa Nova's, we won't be returning. read more

My folks order from here all the time and love it. They love their pizza and fettuccine Alfredo. My dad likes to tell the story of how my mom made him order takeout from Villa Nova while dining at another local Italian restaurant. While visiting recently, we ordered takeout - Fettuccine Alfredo (5 stars) - White Pizza with spinach (4.5 stars) - Calzone (4.5 stars) - Chicken Parm with Ziti (3 stars) The Fettuccine Alfredo was outstanding. I also really liked the White Pizza and Calzone. The chicken parm itself was very good, but the ziti and sauce was just okay for me. The takeout took longer than expected and they failed to include the garlic knots we ordered. Overall, we liked the food, but the takeout process didn't work out on this trip. read more

We have been here so many times - also ordering out - and it is always so good. Even now, on a fairly busy Sunday, the staff are so kind and fast and the food is perfect. Just what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria. read more

Villa Nova's - a pizza with a slice taken out of it - Pizza Near Me - Palmyra, Virginia

Meh food. Not nearly like it t was a few years ago. Service was okay. The waitress was very nice but the manager started putting the chairs up while we were there because he was ready to leave. The fruit flies were out of control. Seriously get a Zevo. I had to cover my so so wine with a napkin. Never again. read more

Wonderful pizza. The atmosphere is charming and it feels "warm". I recommended it to my daughter as a comfortable place to study or see her friends. While the food was fantastic, I was slightly disappointed about their pet policy. I understand that cats are not commonly known as service animals, but they are. They provide me with comfort and clarity. When phoning beforehand, the woman seemed extra caring about the situation. She said she was not sure if they allowed cats, but she thought it was a really interesting idea. read more

Villa Novas has grown on us. It has become a go-to for the occasional takeout meal. The Deluxe Cheesesteaks and tiramisu are rather good. The fries don't hold up so well with takeout orders, but you can give them some life back by popping them in the oven for a bit when you get home. Still recommended. read more

I called in an order that included 2 eggplant parm diners with extra salad and no pasta, A sign in the restaurant advises takeout customers to double check orders before leaving, but I picked up a bag that was securely stapled shut. I arrived home with no salad and one package of two eggplant parms thrown one on top of the other. I spoke with the owner, who shrugged me off. I have gotten the message loud and clear; the restaurant is busy and making money, so my satisfaction isn't important. I'm sure I can find something better in the area. read more

Great place to get a meal. Have had the pizza and calamari and both are delicious. Service and kitchen staff are very friendly, and there's also a rewards program. read more

Ordered 2 cheese steak deluxe to take home today. They were absolutely delicious!! I even called the manager to let him know! Whoever the chef is......keep up your GREAT work!! Will most definitely order again!!! read more

I relocated here from NoVa and thought I would never find pizza as good I got there. I was surprised that I found a pizzeria that was as good as when I lived in NYC. Villa Nova's is the best pizza I have had since I moved to VA. The people are very nice and go out of their way to make sure your needs are met. read more

Excellent service and delicious food. Everybody is super friendly. The pizza is amazing. The pasta is really good too and the salads are beautiful. read more

Coming from a pesky Italian, this place is delicious (granted I've only ever ordered the pizza, garlic knots, and house salad). The staff is always friendly despite it being the busiest place in town (expect to wait a bit on Friday or Saturday evenings especially), but I'm sure they'll hit their stride under the new ownership. read more

Great food, fair prices, friendly service and awesome wine. The interior is charming and cozy.

Food is great, gets busy but they always get the food out pretty quickly! Friendly staff

I LOVE Villa Nova's NY style of pizza but the entrees have been hit or miss. I will say that I do not purchase entrees often and this may be why. My last entree of eggplant parmesan with pasta was mediocre at best. There was so much mozzarella that I could barely taste the eggplant; a more appropriate name for this entree would have been "eggplant mozzarella". It made the dish greasy, heavy, and unappetizing. The accompanying pasta lacked enough sauce to even say it had any at all. It was pink in color as though just 'kissed' with enough sauce to keep it from sticking together. Disappointing at the very least. I will be sticking with their pizza from now on. read more

I'm not sure what has changed recently but this is back to being my favorite place for me to grab lunch with me and my employees. The sandwiches we've had the last couple times we have been in there these past few weeks have been neat and mind blowing. Definitely worth stopping by and giving them a try! read more

Got food sick yesterday possibly my chicken was under cooked. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food tho and the dessert was good just not the chicken read more

Ate at Villa Nova's for the first time today - surprisingly good. Tucked away in a strip mall, but really charming inside. Server was super friendly and took good care of us - drinks always topped off, attentive, etc. But none of that really matters, because we went for pizza - and the pizza is really good! Light, crispy, thin crust, good sauce, lots of cheese. My girlfriend had the veggie quesadilla, which was huge and stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, peppers, and onions. She barely made a dent in it and not for lack of trying. I don't end up in Palmyra / Lake Monticello very often, but when I do - I'll be back for the pizza. read more
