Been meaning to try this place for way too long and finally did. I got myself a whole just cheese Grandma pizza. Wow!! The taste and texture of the crust is amazing and the cheese and sauce perfectly complimented each slice. I will definitely have Zorch high on my list of pizza joints!

Have heard great things about Zorch, so I wanted to try it out. I will definitely return. The flavors and freshness of ingredients were wonderful! Atmosphere is inviting and clean. Staff were very polite and welcoming. We went early on a Friday night and quickly filled up fast, so would suggest an early arrival during peak days. My only wish, is that the pizzas were kept in the oven another 2 minutes to Increase the crisp of the crust. The pepperoni half especially was a bit floppy and messy, but didn't deter from the overall experience. I am a NY/NJ native so partial to this particular style. I'm looking forward to returning!

So yummy! Glad they have a larger sit down location now. We have always enjoyed their other location in carytown. Mozzarella sticks are gigantic and our kids love them. Vegan pepperoni and regular pepperoni are our usual choices.

We loved our food- the pizza, seasonal salad, and buffalo chicken sandwich- all were flavorful and I cannot understate how amazing the ranch is- perhaps my favorite ranch I have ever tried! Can’t wait to visit again, and so glad you’re on our side of the river so we don’t have to trek it to Carytown whenever we want perfect NY pizza.

Previously, I was harsh with my review. I stated that there were a couple wings missing from my take out order. Turns out, hubby ate them on the way home. I also mentioned the "pricey" pizza. Well, let me tell you, The White Out Pizza we ordered was hands down the best pizza we have eaten in YEARS (I'm from New York originally and Zorch could easily compete with some of the best pizza parlors in the state, even NYC!). The pizza is huge. One slice was more than adequate. And it just got BETTER when reheated in the oven! I will be ordering from Zorch again today but this time I will be picking up the order. Hubby obviously cannot be trusted with wings!!!

Best mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life. The vodka sauce goes CRAZY. Huge fan as a native NY’er, will definitely be coming back. Loved that they were playing Miyazaki films on one TV and had Fernet Branca too!

Long-time fan of Zorch Pizza in Carrytown and super excited for their new restaurant. It did not disappoint! It is still one of the best pizzerias in Richmond, now, with full service, arcade games, bar and outdoor seating. Zorch is always consistent - amazing every time. Do yourself a favor and go grab a slice (or a whole pie!). (The mozzarella sticks are in their own league, so be sure to give those a shot as you wait for your pizza)
