University Pizza

Not sure if was an «off» night for the kitchen but it took them an hour to get one of our small pizzas out. The other one came later after we cancelled it so we told them to take it back. They messed up my other friend’s order by forgetting to bring them out. The service for our drinks was decent I would add that the pizza they brought out was awesome though.

This restaurant has to major assets. There low priced and the service was fantastic. So your probably wondering why only 3 stars. This is because there a pizza place that serves horrible pizza. This is the kind of restaurant that you go to for drinks and then look elsewhere for food. The pizza had standing greese, was floppy, and I could tell that none of the ingredients were fresh.
Like I said, wel be back, for happy hour.

Best pizza and meatballs in town. Both my boyfriend and I are Tuesday night regulars. We love Muareen who is one of the main reasons we keep going back for phenomenal service. Tonight was spectacular, whoever the new cook is did a great job! Always look forward to tuesday nights :)!

Love this place! Maureen is my favorite bartender! I love seeing her!

A great bar and great food. If you visit u pie you need to take to Maureen one of the best bartenders in Norfolk. The wings are great. The pizzas great. You can also talk to people without yelling.

College drinking spot.
That’s about all it is for me. Sometimes I get a slice if I’ve had a few drinks. The staff is super friendly and kind. They don’t mind if people get a little rowdy. Fun joint with a nice outdoor area. I spend a fortune on that pool table…
I recommend for drinks only. For pizza, go to Del Vech’s.

I usually go here whenever I’m in town to grab a beer. I’ve also ordered the pizza. It’s not a thin slice like the ones I like in NY, but it’s also not super doughy, which I find in other cities.
It’s a little off the beaten path since it’s not near ODU. I like coming here, because it’s a good mix of college students and townies. Even when it’s busy, it’s not crowded.

I went here tonight as part if a social gathering and not my own doing. I had never heard of this place even though I attended ODU for both my bachelors and masters degrees.
They have a decent selection of draft beers, including some good local brews. Its really nice to see the local restaurants supporting the other local businesses. They even had a few good bottled beers. I didn’t have a mixed drink, so I can’t comment on that.
Service was very slow, but there was only 1 poor girl working the bar and the tables, so it was more understanding (although not excusable by any means). It took a good 45 minutes to an hour for the food to arrive.
The food wasn’t too good. My friend got the spaghetti and meatballs, and the noodles were very overcooked in the sauce was swimming in water. He had to drain the water out of the meat sauce to eat it. The fries looked as if it were pulled out a frozen bag. The food lacked basic seasoning. I didn’t get a chance to try the pizza, but I will say a few pies walking by looked decent.
Basically, this looks like a standard place to drink for college students. Most college students probably arent expecting great food, just a place to get cheap drinks and a slice of pizza. Me personally, I probably would only go back under the same conditions, and if i did, it would be for drinks on a special night MAYBE some pizza.

We have been to UPie a few times and sorry to say, consistency isn’t their strong suit. The pizza has potential to be great.

Good, solid pizza and beers. Eaten here more times that I can count. Stiff beverages. Good for playing golden tee and drinking. Quite often a dude-​fest though.

Had dinner with my son and his roomates here recently. Nice bar, pool table, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Decent prices. Great service. Good food. We ordered a large pizza and 25 wings. Both were delicious.

Decent pizza and decent bar. I used to love coming here when I live in VA. I would not come on a date here though… it’s slightly trashy.
Recommended.

The service was NOT GOOD and I have no idea what the food taste like. Our group of 8 arrived at noon for lunch. A party of 6 was leaving and that left our party and 2 – 3 at the bar. We all order within 3 – 5 minutes of being seated and our drinks take 10 – 15 minutes and the waitress mixes them up… FAIL #1. The sliced pizza orders come out the quickest, say 10 minutes after the drinks. If you are keeping track, we have been inside for approx 30 minutes and 2 of 8 have their food. Then the sandwiches come every 5 minutes and the waitress can’t keep them straight either, several people get the wrong sandwich, FAIL #2. Finally after 1 hr and 5 minutes, my sandwich arrived, while one member of the group departed to go back to work, and the other 6 are complete with their lunch. So, it’s time to head back to work and I go ahead and ask for the sandwich to go. A couple of minutes later, the waitress returns with my wrapped Sandwich and the bill. Mine bill reflects full price for the sandwich and drink, which, OBTW was never refilled! After several questions regarding the tardiness of our sandwiches throughout the last 30 minutes and several responses of «it’ll be a few more minutes» and 6 sandwiches arriving separately over 5 minutes, YES, I was fully expecting some sort of compensation for waiting 65 minutes, FAIL #3. So, one slightly positive note, I decided not to take the sandwich and hand it back to the waitress when settling the bill, telling her I would pay for the Diet Pepsi, and she said don’t worry, they would pick up the $ 1.89 single, non-​refilled soda and they keep the sandwich. And might I mention, if you were a single sitting at the bar, your sandwich came out within 5 – 10 minutes.
Bottom line: Single waitress and single cook at lunch equals poor service and SLOW food prep. Go as a single and sit at the bar with full anticipation of bad service and slow food prep.

I Go to «Upie» on the regs. You Gotta love the great drink specials. And the staff always know how to take of you. The locals definitely roll in force. The pizza is pretty good as well.
Keep handing out those degrees in beer Upie!

Looked to be NY Style, but way too soggy or greasy. Will not eat there again. Little Caesar’s is better… Yeah, I said it!

What’s this place like? Just read the name.
BIG college hang out. Pizza and great drink specials, what else would you really expect?
Been here a number of times and always have had a decently good time.
I usually stop in for the pizza.
I can taste the love that’s been put into it…(I pray to God that it’s love that I’m tasting)
I like the make your own, I believe 4 toppings of your choice are included.
My fave:
Pineapple
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
& BACON, because a pizza isn’t complete without it!
University Pizza has an ok beer selection, but I get it… college students are looking for more quantity than quality… Hey it’s all good with me, just as long as they keep making good pizza.
I don’t particularly like hanging here, don’t always dig the vibe, so I usually do take out. But I’ve been known to play a few games on their pool table and have a drink at the bar…

Walked up for lunch with the kid today. Not too busy, but had a group of (I’m assuming) regulars hanging out. Several local business shirts represented (Daniel’s Garden Center, Bent Fork, Charlie’s) nice to see local supporting local.
They serve Pepsi as opposed to Coke. blech. why? I did notice tat they do support a couple local breweries with draft selections from O’Conner and Smartmouth.
The menu is very limited, a few bar apps, pizza, subs, wings. The kid was in a sandwich mood and went with the meatball. I have never really developed any kind of fondness for a meatball sub, so I didn’t even ask for a bite. I ordered a small pizza (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and onions). It was pretty damn good, and big for a small. My only complaint would be that the crust could have been a bit crisper. once it got away from the edge, it was soft.
The sauce was a a little sweet (much preferred over tangy), and no skimping on the cheese! Also love that they use a sliced sausage as opposed to crumbled ground sausage. So much better. I ate two of the four slices, and carted the rest home. I was nice enough to share one with my wife when she got home… good cold too, but really what pizza isn’t (if not even better).
One person manning both bar and dining room, but she had it under control.

OK, so, I love going here, but have yet to get off my butt and write the review. Plenty to say here too. UP does it right by making this out to be the place to hang out no matter what your into. First, yeah, beer. Purple Haze in the fridge. Always a sign that you found a place that cares!!! The pizzas are outstanding. Something in the crust is just a little different and delicious, and Pep outside the cheese, just like your supposed to, and really fresh salty Mozzerlla cheese. Greek Salad is great. Fresh ingredients and the rolled meats are terrific. oh, and PLENTY of Feta, gotta have the Feta. Now, my most enjoyable surprise, the wings!!! Not sloppy, saucy, and dry miniature chicken-​jerky legs, but a well cooked and seasoned, meaty wings, on Sundays, you can load up at 40 cents each!!! We go here often, not because of the proximity, but for good eats! Keep it up Mike!!!
Come on in, take a seat, have a beer, play some pool or just watch the game. Heck, come on in and people watch because it’s students to seniors here and everyone is having a great time!

Worst pizza ever. Bought a groupon for this place and called in the order to go. The guy working the counter was NOT happy at all that I used the groupon. He was a total jerk about it. I waited about 5 minutes for the pizza and was on my way. We ate the pizza not 10 minutes later. It was soooo soggy. The crust was uneven and undercooked in some places. It was just mush. I now have a horrible stomach ache. Will never go here again!

Saturday evening we had a little shindig and when it came time to eat everyone wanted pizza. Not factory pizza from one of those delivery places, no we wanted real mom & pop pizza. We decided to go to University Pizza over on Colley.
It’s been a couple of months since I was last here and this evening we had 8 people in total. No problem at all there’s plenty of seating inside and out front under the canopy. One of the things I really like about U.P. is it has a really good neighborhood vibe to it. You get an even mix of the local residents and college students.
My part of the group had the family special which was a large one topping pizza and a huge salad bowl that’s probably large enough to serve 4 people. Their large is easily the size of extra large pizza at most places, yet it’s a thin NYC style pie. For beer aficionados they have many micro brews in the case as well.
In the back there’s a pool table you can pass the time on while waiting for your pie, daily specials, large screen TVs and a full bar. You could call it a Pizza Pub. Check them out if you’re down by ODU.
