★★★★☆ According to owner, only ground beef was halal when we visited on 8/9/2020. Their pizza however was fantastic with NY type crust and well made. Posted on August 8, 2020
★★★★★ If you are visiting VA Beach - be sure to stop by here! Wife/Kids and I recently went to VA Beach and decided to try this place out after talking to the owner over the phone.
What a gem of a place! It is the perfect mom/pop pizza shop. The owners are welcoming and very respectful. They are close to their Deen, and are doing their best to maintain a halal environment. Most of the menu is halal - we ordered the beef pizza and cheese fries.
We ordered a 18" 1/2 beef 1/2 cheese only pizza. If you like a perfect thin crust NY Style pizza then you will be VERY pleased! The crust was PERFECT, I have had my share of NY Pizza and I can tell you this was comparable to the T - the beef was fresh cooked right before placing it on the pizza so you don't get that dry days old ground beef. Next time we are in VA beach, we are definitely stopping by to try out some of the other items like Lasagna, Pasta, Philly cheesesteaks!
