The plain cheese pizza is SO GOOD. I’m from New York and I’ve gotta say hands down this is the best pizza I’ve had in Virginia - absolutely delicious!

We were pleasantly surprised with the pizza. This is the first time ordered in a long time, and it was the best pizza since moving to Virginia.

Villa Nova’s helped us, the local PTO group, feed our teachers during Back-to-School event. Everyone RAVED about the food. It was so good! The veggie lasagna is a must-order!

Definitely our FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE in the state (about 20 minutes from Charlottesville, Virginia and well worth the drive), probably on the entire east coast...utterly delightful, cozy, and welcoming. Comfy booths! :-) Everything MADE FROM SCRATCH by people who really know how to cook. The ingredients are SUPER FRESH, the pizza is served hot, quickly from oven to table, still bubbling, with generous toppings...and when you ask for extra cheese, you really get it! The service has always been FRIENDLY and efficient (thank you, Becky! And all. :-). Their sweet tea is addictive: large, icy glasses, deep black tea flavor, the perfect amount of sugar, and quick refills. We would love to try their pasta someday, but never can get past this AWESOME PIZZA! :-) And for bread lovers...the warm, buttery garlic knots with a cup of their tomato soup on a snowy day will make you a regular. :-) This type of first-class cuisine is hard to find. A hidden treasure.

Villa Nova is one of the best places to sit down and enjoy a great meal! The food is exceptional and the staff are the best! Prices are very reasonable compared to most and are worth every penny! Our waitress Kelly was amazing, she's fast with delivering our food and drinks, shes very kind and patient and makes sure we have everything we need! The cooks and kitchen staff do a phenomenal job with making sure our food is cooked and prepared just the way we asked! By far the best place to eat around town! 1000/10 recommend!

We eat here often and it’s absolutely delicious. Our server is usually Nea and she is amazing. Their pizza is delicious and subs are always good.

This is our Go To dinner spot every Friday. We have been going for a couple of years, but they have recently gained new ownership. There have been multiple improvements in the aesthetic and expanded seating. The serving staff remained the same for the most part and they are the best. They always make us feel welcome and like family. It's very family friendly as well. The pizza is what most people go for, but they have expanded their pasta dishes and the sandwiches and salads are great. If you are looking for a quick bite with family this is the place. They also do takeout! Can't wait to see how they keep improving with the new ownership

Every time we order from Villa Novas we can be confident the whole family will eat it! We have quite a few picky eaters and it is always a win with their cheese pizza. When my husband and I dont want kids cheese pizza we opt for a salad and sub and it is amazing too! The garlic knots are also to die for. Best around!!!! 10/10
