Heard good things about Pizza Box and finally made it in to try it. I've been getting pretty disappointed lately with the pizza choices near me and really wanted some good pizza. So glad my wife thought about this place!Very nice atmosphere. Quaint little shop with a sort of Navy theme, as the owners are active duty Navy. Met Andora, the co-owner with her husband, on our visit. She's was really nice and made us feel right at home.We split a large meat lovers and it was so much better than other pizzas we've had lately! The crust was perfect and I refused to give mine to my wife. I usually do, but this was to good to not eat. Loved the sauce and had a perfect amount of cheese. I don't like my pizza overloaded with cheese to the point it becomes a cheese puddle in the middle of the pie. The bacon, pepperoni, sausage and ham were very tasty!Andora was telling us they have specials all the time and to watch their FB page for what's coming up. Can't wait to try more items on their menu!
There's a lot to live up to when you inherit the name Pizza Box. I love supporting local businesses, but the pizza needs a lot of improvement. Very burnt crust. The flavor of the crust was very bland and the marinara was very very acidic. My guess is that they're overcompensating by adding an excessive amount of garlic. My recommendation is that they start over with their poolish recipe and do the same with the marinara.I'll order some more in six months and see if things have improved. Good luck!
We called in for delivery for the first time and we had a good experience. Firstly, this is like the only pizza place that delivers in Portsmouth anymore that doesn't use Doordash or something similar, which is awesome. They delivered our pizza within 20 minutes which was also fantastic and the staff was all very friendly as well. We got the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and it was pretty good, my only complaint was that it was just a little salty, but the flavor and cook was still great. Also, the price was a bit high for a large pizza, but I understand that we got delivery, and the cost of everything nowadays has inflated. We will definitely be back to try a different pie and see what the actually restaurant looks like. Good job Pizza Box! ?
brought home 2 - large , 1 item pizzas for $20. less than a half hour ago. The pizzas have left the building like Elvis did. Excellent crust, excellent sauce, excellent cheese. We also recently got a prima Vera, and that really rocked the party. Will definitely order on the regular.
this place is perfect i certainly recommend it 5 stars kdfmsdokbmdflkjm dfkhn dfkmh tkm hrkmy htykm ndtlkyjmet
The customer service and food makes the best combination! Love this little slice of Portsmouth!!
I love everything about Pizza Box, but most importantly the exceptional customer service!
Definitely wouldn’t order again. The pizza was very bland only my daughter ate it. I also ordered a chicken Stromboli and the chicken was spoiled. Needless to say it was taken back and the gentleman that worked there smelled it (told him you could literally smell that it was no good) and his response was “Yea your right smells pretty bad”. No thank you I’ll pass in the future.
Where do I begin? Walked in this 2 table establishment and waited for 20 minutes before anybody even acknowledged me. It was a couple eating and a lady conversing while someone was on the phone taking a order but the lady talking was the owner. Smh she didn’t even bother to ask could she help me but soon as the lady got off the phone to help me then she comes over and starting intervening on my order. Then $18 later this is what they bring me. A kids pizza. What a waste of time. If you’re hungry this isn’t the way to go. The competitors all around this business offer pizza, wings, garlic knots and soda for only $5 more. Horrible business. Don’t expect them to remain open much longer! I wouldn’t recommend anyone to this place. EVER!!!!!!! P.S. I don’t even write reviews so that should tell you something. Made it my point to give EVERYONE a fair warning about this weird overpriced food lion in the box pizza!!!
I visited after seeing advertisements, as I always like trying new (or newly discovered) pizza places.This small restaurant is nestled in the residential Port Norfolk of Portsmouth. There is street parking available which is expected in this area.The restaurant itself appeared clean and its eclectic design gave a hometown, home cooking, neighborhood feel.The lady who served us was friendly, helpful, attentive, and professional. Our order was delivered quickly. Service was an A+!We order a breakfast pizza, a 12 inch pepperoni pizza, and garlic breadsticks.The breakfast pizza was a nice surprise. The crust was crispy and the cheese and bacon (no pizza sauce) gave a wonderful crossover of a breakfast sandwich and a pizza.The garlic breadsticks were average. They were good, but they were nothing that made them extraordinary.Unfortunately, I felt the pizza itself fell short. The crust was a little bland and didn’t have the thick, crispy thin, or brick oven style taste or texture. I know all taste is subjective, but I felt the pizza fell short. It seemed like a cafeteria style pizza than a restaurant pizza.The service was outstanding, and the breakfast pizza was a nice surprise, but I have given three starts because the pizza wasn’t that good, and when pizza is in the name of the restaurant it needs to be good.
