I loved the staff & atmoshere the most here. Super cool people. A lot of people watching various sports programs on TV. People playing pool. Smoking section outside. Plenty of parking.

Such a fun place to enjoy delicious drinks and food! After a long day at work/ school, this was one of the first places I wanted to unwind at. The bartender Maggie was so helpful and kind! Thanks for everything staff!

Great local bar. Good pizza, burgers. Not a trendy, foo-foo yuppie, hang out like the obnoxious microbrewery next door ( let's hope it's a shortlived trend). Pool table, flat screen tvs for sports, full bar, working class people looking for a Cheers like pub where they do indeed know your name.

If you haven't been to University Pizza! You are missing out! The Atmosphere! The Laid back Vibe and just the genuine friendly Attitude everyone has towards each other is Priceless! I went to ODU University 5yrs ago is when I discovered this GEM! I moved away 18 mos ago to Colorado, came back to visit and it is still amazing! Shout out to Shannon! You Put University Pizza on the Map! And you are still there. It was so great seeing you this past weekend when I was visiting with one of my best friends! You're awesome....Thanks...Odie!

Drinks and pizza was pretty cheap the pizza was fresh out the oven and taste delicious. I forgot the female name working at the bar, but she was really cool and polite. There was a handful of older men there that kinda looked outta place because of it being a college joint and you'll assume college bar/grill is for 18-30 ish year old. But then again every other bar in the area was closed. Besides that the place it pretty chill. I'll definitely go back. There. I had a good time with my homies.

Cool spot. I go there all the time. They have live music on the regular and unlike most places it always seems to be good. They have a large patio for all the smokers, queens inside, and good prices on drinks. Bartenders are cool, cute and not mad at me lol

They have the best pizza your taste buds can take on after a few beers ( which are fairly priced)! University Pizza is a nice, local establishment with, good local people and great! pizza! I think they make their dough fresh which is a key factor in good pizza and the cheese is soooo good! University Pizza is chart topper in my opinion and great for a college student or anyone!
