Andrea's Pizzeria

Good food. terrible booths.

The food was good but not for the price. The portions were pretty small. The seats in the booths feel like they are pews from a church. They are the most uncomfortable chairs i have ever sat in. you think they would spend some money and buy some cushions. Me and my husband do go there when I'm in the mood for Italian, but we dont expect big portions.

This pizza snob gives Andrea's two thumbs up...WAY UP!

First, there are a couple of things you should know about me... I was a military spouse for 12 years and travelled around the world during that time. Our budget was always smaller when it came to our homes and autos so that we could eat out alot. I LOVE food. My family refers to me (lovingly, of course) as a "food snob". Food is one of my favorites subjects to talk about and I am very picky about several things: coffee, ice tea, chocolate, bread, cheese and pizza. When it comes to restaurants, I don't care at all about "ambiance". All that matters is that there is exceptional food and decent prices. Andrea's fits the bill to a tee!

I moved away from the Hampton Roads area over 4 years ago and the single thing that I miss the most is Andrea's pizza. I am salivated just thinking about it now (I kid you not). The crust is the perfect combination of a crispy substantial bottom with a tender, chewy outer rim. The taste of the crust is like fresh baked real Italian bread (not the kind from a grocery store but the kind from a kiosk in the train station in Rome). I could go on and on about the sauce but suffice it to say that I used to go in and buy large styrofoam containers of it and eat it with a spoon straight out of the refridgerator. I wish I had asked for the recipe before I left so I could try and replicate the pizza in my home in Wisconsin but it probably would not be the same.

When you go, be sure and order the garlic knots for an appetizer and try to save room for the canolli (good luck with that...you can also order the canolli to go). Tell the owners that Leanne sent you and that she would really like their crust and sauce recipe, okay?

• Pros: Best pizza ever, friendly service, casual environment
• Cons: It is not fat free :)

I have been looking for some good Italian food in the area and I'm so happy I came across Andrea's! I ordered one of their calzones and it was AWESOME!!! The calzone was around 6.00 and it was huge. It was definitely more than I could eat. It's kind of a small place with comfortable booths and the service was great. I got my food super quick and the waitress was really friendly. I will definitely go back and try the other food. I highly recommend it!!!!

• Pros: You get some awesome food!
• Cons: None!

My family and I have been going to Andreas for years. The restaraunt is always clean and the service is great. The food is wonderful. I have been to Italy before and I think that the Italian dishes at Andreas are the best that I've ever had. Their pizza

s are fresh and are better than any other pizza around. Also, if you cannot make it into the restaraunt, they deliver. What could get much better than to have some great Italian food delivered to your house or work????? I highly suggest this restaraunt.

• Pros: Great food, Very clean, Nice for family

Andrea's has been family owned and operated for over 20 years, It serves REAL Italian food from the heart and the people are the friendliest. There pizza is good but what impressed me most was the Italian dishes at a reasonable cost I highly recommend.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Food, Service

Good Italian Food

by roxyhulagirl at Citysearch

My boyfriend, his father, and I eat dinner at Andreas once a week. We typically go on a Friday night, and order an Extra Large Combination pizza. Their pizza's are absolutely wonderful! If there is a topping not on the menu that you like, they will put it on the pizza for you if they have it. It's a great family owned business, and the owners often check in on the tables to see how everthing is. When my boyfriends mom is in attendance, she often goes for the pastas which she says is fantastic. Her favorite is the Manicotti.

• Pros: Good Prices, Friendly Staff, Wonderful Pizzza

good Italian, this is not!

by tinkerbelleva at Citysearch

In a word, ROTTEN. The food tasted like Ragu from a jar. The restaurant is merely a locals spot for hanging out. The drinks were cold, the tables were clean; not a bad spot to sit and have a cup of coffee and socialize. To visit for an Italian dinner? NO WAY!!

• Pros: cold beverages
• Cons: , service, food
