I had a great experience at Pizza Bones. The pizza itself was very good. All the ingredients were fresh, and I liked the cheese especially. It was a bit greasy which might scare off some folks, but I personally loved it. The crust was nice. It does take a bit of time to make the pizza, so I would highly recommend calling ahead. You can't rush greatness. Because the pizza here is so dang good, it does get a bit crowded. If there were a few more tables outside, or if the dining room were a bit bigger, folks wouldn't have to wait nearly as long to grab a seat. Small complaint, though. The beer selection, while small, was really nice. I liked the lager a lot. All in all, I would recommend Pizza Bones and return.

Pizza was out on time and easy pick up process. Great patio area to sit and eat. I took it over to Libby Hill. Crispy crust and not to oily. Got a pepperoni pizza.

The best pizza I've had in RVA. Their regular pies are so tasty and I love their creative specials as well. this past week was a Saag Paneer one. The crust is some of the best I've ever had...not sure if it's a naturally leavened crust but they use local flour. Going for dinner later in the week and weekends, be prepared to wait a bit for your pizza(s) as they get slammed.

A gem of Richmond that we are lucky to have. This is one of my favorite pizza places made even better by their unique dough and crust. The natural wines are wonderful and there’s something for every palate. This place seems to stay busy for dinner so be sure to leave plenty of time to enjoy your meal. Side note: their dough is great for those who have sensitive stomachs usually upset by regular pies

The food was great. We ordered a 14 inch ( 6 slices) pepperoni. The cheese is aurhentic the crust taste like they make it fresh daily. It taste like NY pizza! They offer vegan options, sides, beverages and spirits. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was super clean. Its a great place to brong the entire family. You can dine inside or outside. They have plenty of space outside for your fur babies. Please like and subscribe for more authentic videos.

Driven by often and just haven't had the time to stop. Finally got by and wow! Absolutely not disappointed. Loved the crust. Seems like a little bit of sourdough and just perfectly crunchy. Pepperoni was excellent, and they put on generous toppings that covered the pizza. The basil, oregano, and garlic are delicious and make the whole thing pop. Really loved the beer and wine selection, too. I'm definitely coming back even if it's just take out.

The service is friendly and the pizza is above the rest with reasonable prices. The dough is the best I have ever tried. We had a pepperoni and a cheese pizza plus cheesy bread. All were very delicious. The drinks are reasonably priced and the outdoor seating was very comfortable.

Excellent pizza. Great service. Great outdoor seating. I love this place! But, what's up with dim as midnight lighting in the restroom? Not cool.
