From the farms of the Pungo community to the depths of the Chesapeake Bay, the Virginia Beach food scene is unmatched in freshness and flavor. Our oysters will make your taste buds sing; our beer will make a hop fanatic out of anyone; and the blue crabs here are a local delicacy that can’t be topped – except, of course, with a healthy pour of melted butter. We’re a seafood-obsessed, brunch-loving, oyster-slurping, orange-crushing, beer-tasting bunch of gastronomes who prefer our sustenance seasoned by the salty sea air of the Atlantic. Sometimes, however, between the fried rockfish and the Bloody Blues, we just need to dough-up and dig in to a slice of ooey-gooey cheese-topped nirvana. We’ve listed a few of our favorite unique pizzas from around the Resort Beach to get you started on your quest for the perfect pie – with a bit of a twist.
The Sweet Dave Pizza – Hearth Wood Fired Cuisine and Craft Beer
It’s hard to go wrong with any of the pizzas coming out of Hearth’s wood-fired oven in the ViBe Creative District. From the Funghi pizza to the Pig and the Goat, all of Hearth’s pies are full of flavor and worth a try, but there’s just something about the combination of sweet and spicy on the Sweet Dave that keeps us coming back for more. It may sound strange, but the drizzle of raw wildflower honey, unfiltered and naturally produced at a Northern Virginia apiary, takes this pizza to a whole new level.
The Wasserhund Pizza – Wasserhund Brewing Company
With bratwurst, sauerkraut and their signature seasonal beer mustard, this substantial pie is dishing up a slice of Germany from the Hilltop community of the Resort Beach. While you can’t go wrong with any of their beers, we suggest washing it down with the crisp house-brewed Angler Altbier, the German equivalent to a traditional brown ale.
Shorebreak Pizza & Taphouse – Pungo
Whether it’s a youth sports team celebrating, college alumni club, or casual diners; Shorebreak has something for everyone. The menu has received countless awards, there’s a game room for kids, a “state of the art” draft beer system, & the “Best Pizza” & “Best Burger” in Virginia Beach, as voted by Virginia Pilot Taste Testers.
Located in Atlantic Park Surf the shop is known for its old‑world, authentic pizza, baked directly on stone in high‑heat deck ovens that create a chewy, bread-like crust that’s puffy, foldable, lightly charred, and never cracker-thin. While they take pride in perfecting the fundamentals, their rotating menu gets inventive with toppings, always grounded in quality rather than gimmicks. They source standout ingredients from natural Wisconsin cheese, fresh‑packed California tomatoes, and extra‑virgin olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy while all sauces and dressings are made in house.
Dough Boy’s – 24th & Atlantic / Dough Boy’s – 33rd & Atlantic
Dough Boy’s is a locally owned family business founded in 1989 that plays host to millions of visitors annually and has become a favorite spot for celebrations by couples, families, large groups, teams, and runners carbo-loading before the Shamrock Marathon and the Rock and Roll Half Marathon. Dough Boy’s participates in all the local surf contests and donates pizzas every year to the second oldest and longest running surf contest in the world, Virginia Beach’s very own East Coast Surfing Championships.
Victoria’s Pizzeria offers authentic Italian pizza made with imported flour, fresh ingredients, and traditional techniques. Enjoy hand-tossed pizzas, fire-grilled wings, fresh-baked bread, and a curated selection of wine and cocktails in Virginia Beach’s Great Neck area.
Family owned and operated restaurant established in 1998 committed to satisfying customers with great food and excellent service offering a wide variety of delicious dishes for Lunch and Dinner, with everything homemade; from sauces to pizza dough, to cakes and pies. Enjoy your meal in their main dining room, on their deck, or in their game room filled with games for all ages! Whatever you’re in the mood for, you can find it here!
