8 ½ in The Fan

"Stopped by here after dinner at Blue Habanero to get some tiramisu to celebrate my fiancée’s birthday. The final total for a single piece was $11! It wasn’t very big either. It tasted decent but definitely not worth $11. We also noticed that their menu prices overall have gone up significantly from just two years ago. $20 for a single serving of to-go lasagna is pretty steep, at that point you might as well dine-in elsewhere."

"Pizza was just ok. Crispy but very very greasy. Tasted like a typical tavern pizza. Destroyed the roof of my mouth."

"We decided to call for a late evening pizza. We’ve been looking forward to trying 8 1/2 because the pizza looks amazing. Finally made an effort and set aside some time to try the pizza. The pizza was ready on time and looked beautiful. The crust was remarkably thin and had minimal flop. Unfortunately, the pizza was remarkably salty and overwhelmingly garlicky. We couldn’t taste the cheese or the tomato sauce. Overall, disappointing. Would not return for the pizza."

"Tasty thin pizza! We bought the pepperoni and a calzone. Our pizza was QUITE greasy, it was dripping. After dabbing it off the pizza was very good! Our calzone was cooked to perfection and came with a generous portion of homemade (?) dipping sauce, we had plenty left over to dip our pizza crust. The calzone ends that didn't have filling were yummy all by itself. Personal preference is there was way to much ricotta in the calzone. A little pricy, but a great picnic splurge. (there is a nice little park across the street that you can sit at to enjoy your pizza on a nice day) Customer service could use a little uplifting. We were able to find parking on a side street, since they have no parking lot or anywhere to wait for your food. It was a nice day so we took a walk during the 30 minute wait."

"Service is good and the food is definitely unique. The meat lasagna had to be the best and most unique tasting lasagna I ever had. Glad I ordered that. Pizza was unique too but not the best pizza we ever had. We did not like the salad at all, it came with some type of balsamic house dressing, ranch was not available. We attempted to order roasted chicken but they were out. We ordered by phone and they told us that it would take 30 to 40 minutes, and they told us that they don't have a parking lot, just need to find a place to park in the side of the street, not in the middle of the street because the street is narrow and this seems to be college town VCU Virginia Commonwealth University. When we arrived, we found a parking spot on the side of the street, called and they brought our food out immediately, no wait time. Curbside pickup, thank you!"
