Primo Pizzeria is a private family owned and operated business established in 1989 as a small neighborhood pizzeria offering authentic New York Style pizza and home of the original garlic knots in the area. Primo’s grew to expand to Primo Pizzeria & Ristorante given Owner Chef Domenico’s expertise in Italian cuisine derived from his Sardinian heritage. The menu includes classic Italian dishes, pastas, subs, salads, seafood, steak, homemade desserts, and a full service bar. Now with 2 locations and over 30 prosperous years, Primo’s has become a household name in Virginia Beach. We proudly have been a part of the community by supporting the local Police, Fire Departments, Military, numerous Schools, and multiple Non-profit organizations.

We booked a private party in December, and it was Spot on for our event. Everyone ate family style, had plenty to eat – food was great. Atmosphere was perfect. Fancy enough to be formal, comfortable enough to be casual. If you have a need to host an event I would definitely check in with the owner and schedule it. our group was under 30, but I’m sure it would hold more

Pretty sure the food made 2/3 of our party sick. It must have been the waiters first day on the job. The food came out at all different times. Not what it used to be. The waitress at the other table was very nice and realized our waiter had no clue and kept checking in to try and make things right.

From the fried calamari, caprese (salad yummy), bread and for dinner we got a specialty pasta OMG I was in Heaven… Pasta heaven!!!

Pizza is delicious, you can get pizza by the slice which is great when you have kids with different tastes. The bread that they brought out while you wait for your food was delicious, fresh and hot when you dip it in the butter. Ate more of that than the pizza.

Had my first visit here and absolutely loved everything about it. Our waiter was very attentive, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere is excellent. If you like a good Hawaiian Pizza – this is the place to go. Will be back again soon!

I can confidently rate their food 5 stars but customer service by far 1 star all day, I have never experienced good customer service there but I called Monday asking about their pizza specials and i don’t know if the girl was miserable in her life that day but when she answered yes to my questions about the specials instead of telling me the specials since it’s her job , I explained I will call right back to order after I decide what I want and she straight up hung up without saying anything. Luckily when I called back the lady I spoke to that time was very nice because they where about to have a rude awakening when I walked in there to pick up food.

Had dinner here to celebrate my birthday. We live on this side, but had not had Primo before. I’m not a drinker, so we got Pepsi– flat, uncarbonated, and had no fizz. That should have been our first clue. We ordered mussels in white wine to start. The mussels were so gritty and full of sand. We could barely choke them down. My husband spit his out in a napkin and refused to consume it. The waitress asked if there was something wrong (clearly able to see they were virtually untouched the whole meal). We just made up some excuse. Needless to say, I got sick three times last night and have spent the past 24hrs with a stomachache/likely food poisoning. Primo was the only food we consumed yesterday, so it was pretty easy to narrow down the culprit. Horrible first time experience, and sadly, we will not return.

Ordered online at 5:40pm. They were clear that it would not be ready until 6:25. I get it. They were busy. When I arrived at @6:15, I could see the pizzas sitting on top of the oven to keep warm. There were a lot of online pickup orders so I thought that must be someone else’s order. I didn’t see the garlic knots with the pizzas, so I assumed that wasn’t my order. I was standing there 30 minutes when the overbaked garlic Knots finally were put with the order. Yep, those two pizzas sitting on top of the oven since I had arrived were mine! The pizzas were hot (because they were on top of the oven) but were NOT fresh at all. The dough was extremely chewy. They weren’t that good. Oh, and I watched the guy making pizzas stop, wipe his hand on his towel, take a sip of water from his cup with his fingers up to his lips grasping the straw, put the drink down, touch his fingers to his lips, and then proceed touch every pizza with the same hand “checking” the bottom of the pizzas. Health Department, take note… Don’t touch your mouth and then touch my food!

My new go to for pizza!!! Everything from the food to our amazing waiter Rob who was a godsend with my fussy nephew!! Rob by far helped make this an amazing first visit!! Then the food came out and it was amazing as well!! We ordered a large white pizza with tomatos and spinach and it was huge!! Taste was phenomenal and cooked to perfection!! Huge portion of fried calamari with crispy breading and served with their delicious homemade marinara!! I would give this place 10 stars if it was an option!! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great make from scratch pizza!!

I must say the pizza here is very delicious. The servers very nice pleasant, the only thing was not happy about is waited pretty long at the table for our food probably about 30 min for appetizer then dinner was over an hr. It was worth the wait though. I just never waited that long at a table for pizza and appetizers before. Thought that they could of said we are very busy tonight so might be sitting at the table for awhile before getting your food
