8 1/2

“The menu is on the wall on chalkboards on the left when you enter.”

A good to go option for delicious Italian food. Prices are high so definitely a treat for me once in a while but the food is so good! Have tried a lot on the menu including their pizzas, pastas and entrees including chicken. Be warned that you may need to wait quite a bit even if you place order ahead of time (especially on a busy weekend dinner rush) so order way in advance. Such a nice hole in the wall in Richmond!

i'm a regular at 8 1/2 and i can't praise it highly enough. while it is a takeout restaurant, the retro, cozy feel makes me feel like i'm stepping back in time in the best way—and the staff are always warm and welcoming. the red pizza is delicious, but my favorite dish here is the broccoletti pasta (add pine nuts + ricotta!). they even surprised me with a tiramisu recently (i almost cried when i saw it), and it was incredible. this place is 10/10 every time and truly makes me feel connected to the community.

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 beca

I had the most amazing vegan hero sandwich here! Visiting from out of town, I stopped in here because it was close to where I’m staying and I needed food before I could check in. The girl at the counter was super helpful in explaining the vegan options. The hero sandwich had mushrooms, spinach, potatoes, and very garlicy. Everything was delicious. I also got the lentil soup to bring back with me. Wish they had more seating, but it’s a limited space location. I sat in the corner on one of the few chairs they have.
