Hearth Wood Fired Cuisine & Craft Beer

Been in this area for 20 years and just now found this place on a whim. We got lucky and there was a spot at the "chef's bar" looking straight into the kitchen where the professional staff was just rocking it. I could watch them work all day. Each dish looked delicious and made me definitely come back to try more. Large portions , bold flavors and unique takes on the recipes. We went to pizza and after the garlic fries app I am happy I did and took the rest home. There was a lot of food. But those steaks and pork schnitzels I saw come by looked amazing as well. Glad I found this place. It is a bit pricey but well worth it.

Aragula salad was amazing. I loved also coconut shrimp. It was one if the best shrimps i have ever had. I am not a pizza lover but my teenage kids loved their pizza. Definitely must try restaurant.

We have been to Hearth many times and we love it, but this most recent time was the best! It’s the perfect place to come for delicious pizza and fun cocktails. The menu has something for everyone and changes seasonally. We love this place for date night and it remains one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach!

Delicious food and drinks, great service! Seemed very busy on a Friday, and we didn't have a reservation, but they were able to find us a table outside at which we received top notch service! Watermelon and strawberry margaritas were both on point, as were apps including Mac and Cheese Bites, Wood Fired Carrots, and Cauliflower special - whipped ricotta and brown butter powder with the Carrots make them particularly fantastic, a must-try! Both pizzas were outstanding and unique, Bolo with lamb bolognese sauce and mint is unusual but very good, and Framani special had a tasty Mexican vibe. Bread pudding for dessert was the perfect punctuation to our meal, looking forward to going back!

So this was a phenomenal find down in VA Beach. The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and the open kitchen concept is amazing. The servers were so welcoming and gracious as well as the whole staff. I can’t say enough about the food because everything was cooked to perfection and you can see the love that goes into IT. Absolutely Love IT Another beautiful night at one of my absolute favorites down at the beach. Mostly because of staff like Heather and Chris. Heather with her amazing personality and great attitude towards customers with a smile that lights the place up. Chris taking the time to come to the table and show us new offerings while making an out of this world Old Fashioned. The dishes here are stellar and the atmosphere has a vibe like no other. I will definitely be back and I definitely Love IT

Quality ingredients. Peach salad: where's the peach? Burrata cheese was nice. But where's the peach? I didn't see or taste any peach. My tablemates liked their pizzas, garlic fries, and Greek salad.

This place has some good dishes. Definitely riding on the crazy pricing for food bandwagon but some really good flavors. Drinks ...I don't know what to say. Mediocore old fashion with regular ice, not cool. We ordered most of their drinks but the only winner was the cucumber martini. Overall you need to pregame before and have a plan for drinks after but bring a good credit card just in case.

We stopped in for dinner after work, the atmosphere is very nice, the team is working beautifully in the front . We ordered the smashed burgers with fries and cauliflower buffalo bites. The food was good, the burgers were juicy a little greasy but good. The server wasn’t as attentive as he should’ve been, waited a bit for drink a few times, overall a good experience

Tonight we had Dinner at Hearth Wood Fired Cuisine and Craft Beer located at 605 Virginia Beach Boulevard near the Oceanfront. We were in the mood for pizza tonight but we just couldn't decide between the War Figs Pizza and the Luciano Pizza, so we got both. Our server Casey was fantastic! She was very kind, and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. She really made our first visit here memorable and we hope to see her again on our next visit! The food here is excellent and if you have not tried this wonderful eatery, I highly suggest you change that immediately. My only regret is that I didn't get here sooner! We were blown away tonight, thanks so much for making our night special!

We were seated very fast of 2 people during dinner time. The hostess was very welcoming. Casual and great ambiance. The restaurant inside wasn't too loud or anything so such a perfect date night. Here is what we ordered: 1. Starters: Garlic Herb Fries..Hand Cut Fries, House Remoulade, Kalamata Aioli, Chipotle Ketchup ** we both thought that the friends were served in a basket but didn't expect a whole lot of it. It was a bigger portion as a starter. 2. Main entrees: - Pepperoni Pizza..Crushed Tomato Sauce, Ezzo Pepperoni, Fiore Di Latte ; was a bit burnt though. - The Woodsman..Roasted Wild Mushrooms, Baby Spinach, Parmesan Cream, Truffle Oil ; it was definitely a 10/10! I would definitely order this again! It was very delicious and yummy! It was perfect but a little bit burnt. I ordered a moscato by the glass. It was yummy as well :) please let me know what was the name! It was $12 and the name started with a "R" !

Anytime someone asks me to get pizza, the answer is always yes! The New Yorker in me will forever love a classic cheese slice, but I love finding spots in VB that have wood fired pizza since it's completely opposite from what I grew up on. I came to Hearth for dinner with a friend of mine on Friday night. We didn't have a reservation, so we sat at the bar. TBH I love a good bar seat. Being able to chat with the bartenders make the experience more fun and the ambiance was nice. I ordered a glass of cab to start. After careful consideration (we're talking about pizza, it's serious), and help from our bartenders, I went with the O.G (Sliced Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Shaved Garlic, Oregano, EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) and my friend got the Sweet Jane (Crushed Tomato Sauce, Fiore Di Latte, Soppressata, Mikes Hot Honey). The O.G was fantastic. As I said, I love a classic cheese! I tried a bite of the Sweet Jane and I wasn't a fan, but I know I am not a fan of Soppressata, so nothing personal. It was a great experience overall, and I heard they do $15 pizzas from 5-6 PM during the week so I WILL be back for more.

Absolutely fantastic food. I came here for a quick meal during a business trip. I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of Malbec, a margherita pizza, and a Greek salad. To be honest, I'm not a huge salad girl and got it to be "healthy", but the flavor was explosive, the crispy chick peas were perfect, and every bite was so damn cravable. The pizza was perfect as well, thin, crispy, and fresh. Definitely will be back. Friendly staff and nice ambiance as well.

Great spot for casual and yet fancy dinner! The place has great ambiance with the dinner lights and layout of the seats. The food was great, we ordered fries and a pizza to share and the portions were huge. Service was top-notch, she checked in constantly though there was a little confusion in the beginning (our server didn't check in with us so we had to talk to another server to figure out who our server was). Overall, great dinner experience last night!

We are here for the summer and this has been our go to ! It's a gem for sure pizzas are delicious and food items are well thought and prepared with care - not the norm in this part of the country lol

Was in town just for the weekend and came back twice! I have extensive allergies and the kitchen was able to prep delicious food for me that was allergy safe! It's rare that I can eat something that yummy at a restaurant because I often end up having to skimp on flavor due to my allergies. So glad we came across this restaurant and was able to get my "allergy special". My husband also loved the dishes he ordered. The staff was also very great. True 5/5 experience!

Just finished having a wonderful meal at HEARTH. On our maiden voyage we shared the tasty Beet Salad and the wood oven baked chicken. Our salad was fresh and filled with assorted tastes that fit like a glove. The Chicken had crisp skin and tender flesh accompanied by a sweet potato purée mixture that was beyond expectations. This was our first but surely not our last! I haven't even mentioned the service or the ambiance . It is as great as the meal and more

Every single bite was delicious. Fried deviled egg. Peach/Burrata salad. Woody Harrelson pizza. Beautiful glass of Sauv Blanc. A perfect summer dinner!

From the moment I walked into Hearth, I felt transported to a cozy cabin nestled in a snowy forest. The warm ambiance, with its woodsy decor and comforting atmosphere, immediately set the stage for a fantastic dining experience. Every detail, from the service to the food, contributed to a memorable evening. I started with a crispy Brussels sprouts salad, a delightful combination of feta, apples, fennel, and of course, bacon. The balance of textures and flavors, along with the use of fresh, seasonal produce, was impressive and set a high bar for the meal to come. For my main course i had the Steak Frites, and it was perfection. The steak was cooked exactly to order--tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with a light, refreshing salad that served as the perfect palate cleanser. The truffle fries were a highlight, their aroma reaching the table before the plate even arrived. To top it off, I enjoyed a Celery Gimlet--a crisp, well-balanced cocktail that rounded out the meal perfectly. Every bite and sip left me feeling warm and completely satisfied. I cannot wait until my next meal here!

Hearth is what Woodfired pizza dreams are made of! Not only are their pizzas to die for, but the rest of the menu is divine and authentically original. Whether seated near the glowing gas fireplace or situated in the main dining area the cozy ambience is an integral part of the experience. Waiting for a table? No problem! The bar area is the perfect spot for a craft cocktail or perfectly shaken martini. Make a reservation, but arrive a little early to enjoy the atmosphere and choose from the beautiful cocktail, bourbon, or wine list! This is our go to for special occasions or a treat to break up a mundane week. Advice: Order the French fries ad an appetizer or side for the table! The dipping choices are Heaven! This will become your new favorite place!

As out of towners visitors, we selected Hearth Wood based on the reviews and the options for vegetarians. We dined on a Thursday night and arrived to be seated by a welcoming hostess. The ambience was warm and inviting and I always love to see an Open Kitchen. Unfortunately, our server didn't seem that enthusiastic to be there and it showed in his interaction. We ordered the Garlic Herb Fries, Wood Fired Squash, a Margarita Pizza with some add ons and the Peach Salad. The portion of fries were huge and the sauces that came with it were innovative and tasty. Good choice if you like thin, crisp fries. The wood fire squash was solid with a savory sauce. Unfortunately, the Margarita Pizza did not come with the extras we asked and was moderate at best. The Peach Salad was good, but not memorable. What was impressive, is when the open kitchen was closing down, they were scrubbing it down like a Michelin Star restaurant!!!! Overall, I'm thinking we just came on an off night and would try again if we lived in town.

We came here for dinner and it was a great experience! We were seated right away for a party of 3. Our waiter was great and did not rush us when we were waiting for our last person to meet us. The food was delicious! For an appetizer we got the buffalo cauliflower which was good but wish it came with extra sauce or ranch to dip in. The charcuterie board was also amazing and had a great selection of meats, cheeses, and fruits. We all loved our dinner entree's too! Pork schnitzel and the steak was phenomenal. We will definitely be back!

Reservations are a must! I'm grateful that my boyfriend planned ahead so we'd have a table. The space is so inviting and cozy. The little lights on the tables were such a nice, modern touch. We shared a few appetizers - stuffed oysters and deviled eggs. The oysters were ok but the deviled eggs were perfection...quite possibly the best I've ever had. The schnitzel and gumbo special were both delicious as well. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly everything came out. I'd love to go back for the pizzas and maybe the chef's table.

Absolutely no complaints and a wonderful dinner at Hearth! Their infamous mountain of french fries is originally what drew me in and they definitely didn't disappoint. Highly recommend reservations here. We did try coming many months ago without a reservation and we were turned away. We made this reservation about a week in advance and were seated right away when we arrived. Service was amazing, not overwhelming, but our server seemed to pop up at all the right times. She kept our waters full, gave good recommendations, and just made sure that we had a great night. We came on a Tuesday and they do have Taco Tuesday specials. We tried the mushroom and cheese quesadilla off this menu and it was delicious. We also got the fries to start and they were seriously some of the best fries I've ever had. All three dipping sauces were to die for, but I personally loved the Kalamata one, which I totally didn't expect. For entrees, we shared two pizzas; the Sweet Jane and the Woodsman. Both were good, but we both agreed the woodsman was the winner. Topped with tons of mushroom and spinach, the creamy base was to die for. We were sadly too full for dessert, but I will definitely be back to try dessert in the future because it all sounded fantastic!

This is definitely a place that you need to make reservations for or else you'll be waiting up to an hour for a table. To be fair, they do recommend that on their site but I didn't see that until after the fact. The staff working that night were quick with service and friendly. The food was worth the wait, would go back with a reservation next time

Just walked in there looking for two persons for dinner... At first she said since we didn't have a reservation, she could seat us in the bar... And then she said sorry nothing. Wondering why the hostess said they could sit us in the bar and then pulled the rug out when we said the bar was fine.

This place has become my go-to whenever I'm back in VA Beach. It's got great food, cocktails, and atmosphere. I always sit in the bar area which is fairly limited seating so it's better to not come during peak times. I feel like this place is known for their pizzas (my favorite is the spicy Luciano) but they also have great entrees. You can't go wrong with the schnitzel or chicken. The portions are good either way. I came on a Wednesday and saw they had a variety of martinis. Not my usual drink of choice but it was a good opportunity to try something new.

Had a large family dinner a few weeks ago, very good. Sizable portions, great staff and delicious food. Been here a few times but it had been years, would return for sure.

Really nice restaurant with unique food choices and flavors. Everyone ordered something different and nothing disappointed. The service was friendly and really efficient.

Fabulous staff, good, and comfortable ambience. My wife and I cannot recommend the experience more highly.

Okay Hearth... 4 stars for service, ambiance and flavors. We enjoyed our Grilled Romaine Lettuce, I love a good wedge style salad and the cheese to bacon ratio was on point. The Woodsman pizza, topped with Cremini mushrooms, parm sauce, truffle oil and spinach was okay, I love mushrooms but they are watery so too many can damage a pizza, so I wasn't the biggest fan. The overall flavors here were good. The Smash burger was Thursday's special and it was good!! Bun perfectly toasted, sauce on point, shaved onions, oh yeah!!! That burger was burger-ing and the fries paired perfectly. Lastly, our Old Fashions. Sorry Hearth but these were watered down. Too much ice perhaps. Should have gone with the wine. Make a resy, and try them out! Word on the street is their specials are banging and the fries are a great app. I'll be back for the steak!

Foods good but pricey. Drinks are fun in the bar but it's small and crowded. I'm not crazy about eating in the main restaurant area it lacks the elegance of the rest of the place IMO

When you first walk into hearth you are greeted by an open kitchen and a beautiful wood fired oven. They always have a great special board in addition to their seasonal menu and service is of satisfaction. I would definitely recommend calling for reservations after 3pm as they do not take online reservations. The pork schnitzel is a must try if you dine here and grab a pizza to start!

We visited for the first time while vacationing at the beach. Our overall impression was that things didn't really gel, not that anything was totally bad, but the atmosphere and menu just didn't really match. Pizzas, German inspired dishes, wine.....just a strange combination, but apparently it works. The wood fired pizzas were great but got cold quickly. The chicken was tender and juicy, and it's accompaniments were flavorful, with a great blend of textures, but it wasn't very filling. I expected more for $32. The apple dessert wasn't as described on the menu, and honestly, the "cheesecake" was a joke. Three bites and it was gone, and was the least impressive dish out of everything we ordered...looked pretty, though. Our server was nice but not very tentative. We sat for very long periods of time waiting for them to come back, and it wasn't overly busy. Good food overall, nice place, but maybe it just wasn't our thing. I certainly wouldn't hinder anyone from giving it a try!

First time leaving a review. If I had an option to leave half a star I would. We had a large group and waited over an hour for our food. Service was very poor. When we asked the waitress why our food was taking so long, she responded, "it's because you ordered a steak and they take longer." I called to let the manager know, spoke with Matthew and left a message for the manager to call me back. He never did so I called and spoke with Chris the manager and felt he didn't handle complaint with grace or empathy. Said he would get back with me. Still waiting for him to get back to me. A restaurant is only as good as its reputation, and reputation management can only do so much. You've probably heard the axiom that a happy customer tells one friend about a positive experience, but an unhappy one tells 10 friends. Word of mouth is one of the most important marketing channels for a successful restaurant. With stakes that high, you need to be ready to handle customer complaints in your restaurant and smooth them over--or even turn them into wins. Thank you Chris.

LOVE HEARTH! Their happy hour is BOMB! And so is their waitstaff. Love them all. Gabby is our favorite! definitely check them out for burger night!

Second time here. We didn't care for the thin crispy fries, tasted like dry potato skin. The pizza did not impress our guests, no taste. Our ribeye was great, shared by two and it was enough. *No online reservation, they don't return phone messages, call during business hours to reserve a table.

So glad we found this spot. We saw all the great reviews and decided to give it a try. If I lived in the area this would be my go to spot for all occasions. It has a formal vibe on one side and a more relaxed bar vibe on the other. It's has a modern rustic feel to it, which I love. Everyone was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. We sat in the bar area and were serviced by what seemed to be a manager of some sort. He was extremely kind and helped with some of our food and drink decisions. We went with the grilled romaine lettuce, which is a play on a Caesar salad. All I can say is...ORDER THIS. It is such a cool way of eating a salad without feeling like you're eating a salad. All the ingredients are super fresh and it's just a flavor explosion. Well worth the $10. Good dish for 2. We also ordered the three meat treat pizza. A treat indeed. It's their version of a meat lovers pizza. It comes with 6 nice sized slices. I ate 4 out of the 6. Didn't do a good job at sharing. Lol. That's because it was an awesome pie. Nice variety of meat, nicely charred crust, good amount of sauce, and goey cheese!! You can't go wrong with this pizza. If you're not a meat eater, I'm sure the other selections are just as good. Love this spot! Can't wait to get back to try their other entrees.

I've been here twice so far and I've had pleasant experiences both times. Love that they don't have a valet and you can park your own car! The food is decent though pricey, and it's nothing out of this world. The restaurant is also extremely loud if you go during the busy dinner rush - once it gets later in the evening it quiets down. The garlic fries are amazing!

I got the margherita pizza and can confirm it was really good. We had the fried deviled eggs as an appetizer and those were great too. The interior is nice and the service was good. We came back a week later (got the same exact order) so I highly recommend.

Food is out of this world, service was awesome and atmosphere is wonderful. It is easy to make reservations, Chloe was very polite and professional.

The food was fantastic! The drinks were even better! Loved the French fry appetizer with different sauces.

Wow. Just wow! I am still dreaming about the pizza I got from here...it was so good! I honestly can't remember the name (I know that's crazy!) but it was mushroom, spinach, and Parmesan. I'm literally salivating typing about it! My boyfriend got the pepperoni pizza and loved it. He said it tasted delicious. I also enjoyed a glass of red wine and he enjoyed a beer while we ate. If you decide to visit, get the pizza! You won't regret it! Pro tip: make a reservation before going!

This place is good but the service and wait time was insane on a Thursday night, we had to wait 50 minutes for our food.

Always a great place to eat, especially on special occasions. This was for our daughter's graduation and she absolutely loved it.

The pizza's are great, thin and crispy which is how I prefer my pizza. Happy hour is even better with the pizza's so if you're trying to save some $ that's a good time to go. Booze was pricey for weaker pours so that's the only downside. And old fashions are on the sweeter side, again I would add that to the weaker pours. Overall we would come here again for the pizza's the hot Jane was our favorite from the ones we tried

In my humble opinion, The Hearth has the absolute best food in VB. Great atmosphere, well-trained staff, and a menu that is simply impressive from front to back. I'm not quite sure how the Michelin restaurant rating system works, but if it's based upon taste, presentation, and flavor profiles, this place should have a star. Book this for your special occasion - it will be special indeed. And don't dare leave without having tried the wood-fired pizza.

This place was amazing. LOVE the ambiance. Our waiter was the best we've had in a while. Drinks were delicious as well. ONLY thing that would make it better is some little bread to munch on at the start :) We will definitely be back!

Overall not horrible, i have mixed feelings but I will not go back or recommend this restaurant to anyone unless they have money to waste. Our waitress was very kind and helpful and the environment was nice and cozy for dinner date. However, food takes a while to come out and the devil eggs was overloaded with garlic and so salty. The lemonade was sour, tasted like water-downed lemon juice no sugar. The grits was drowned in gravy and salty. I will say the chicken was delicious to the point.

This place is a must visit for a date night or just grab some really good good. The waitress was nice and shared with us their specials for the night. I ended up getting one of their specials. A black and white pizza. It was amazing had black truffles on the top. The fries are a must appetizer to get. It's more than enough fries for a table of four. And they have the different sauces for the fries that just took them to another level. So that's a must get! The drinks were great!!! I ordered an old fashion. When in doubt it's always a great choice. Fries were great! Pizza was great! They have other delicious food to choose from but the pizza and fries did it for me!

What a beautiful restaurant that has so much more to offer upon walking in. Upscale vibes. Made reservations for Valentine's Day and it was an absolute vibe. I loved it! We started off with the Brussel sprouts (no bacon) and my, oh my. It reignited my joy for Brussel sprouts! Everything else was immaculate, including service. Thought I wasn't a fan of caramelized onions, but I went out on a limp and glad I did. My significant other really enjoyed his food as well. With a full meal like this, of course we had to get dessert and again; my oh my! The warmth of the Apple pie with the ice cream sung a true melody in my mouth. As often as I drive past here, I never knew this would be the quality of food and I'm so glad it will be a restaurant I'll visit again and again.

Walked in at 5:30 on a Friday evening to a very rude hostess. That said there was no space even though the whole restaurant was pretty much empty and that they had reservation reservations super rude, won't be back.

We've been on the road for three weeks, visiting the east coast and eating as much seafood as possible. We decided to take a break and focus on artisan pizza and craft beer. Hearth Wood gets really good Yelp reviews so we tried it out. They open at 4:00 pm and we arrived at 5:45 pm. They were already hopping. The hostess told us that if we did not have reservations, we would have to sit in the bar or on the patio because all spots are taken through the end of the evening. We chose to eat on the patio. It was still a hot and muggy day, but the shaded patio and slight breeze felt good. Our server, Courtney, was efficient and helpful. When trying to figure out what kind of craft beer we wanted with our pizza, she suggested a Guava Lemonade hard apple cider from Schillings brewery in the great state of Washington. Man oh man was it refreshing. The only problem is that it was a limited seasonal release and probably would not be available again. (We drove to Total Wine afterward and bought their last three cans.) All pizzas are personal artisan pizzas and all are wood fired in a authentic pizza oven. I ordered the Master which was an everything pizza and when our pizzas arrived, they were huge. They were cut into six pieces and I could only eat three (pizza for breakfast tomorrow Yeah!) The bar is a classy place. The bathrooms are immaculate. If we lived here, this would be one of our favorite pizza go to places.

Just go... don't look further. Don't second guess. Food and cocktails are amazing. If you make reservations on an off season/off busy night, ask for a seat at the chef's table where you get to see everything prepared and you can sip wine or cocktails and decide what looks delicious and decide what to order( which is everything)'

I was in the Oceanfront area for a business trip, and I had fond memories of my first visit (pre-COVID). I was feeling pizza, so decided to give this spot another shot. It was such a nice day, I debated just walking over and dining in or ordering out (COVID considerations these days...). Based on my work schedule, I went with take out. Boy am I glad I did. I called in to place an order for a margarita pizza to go. Because I was on a time crunch, I tried placing the order in advance. I was told they could not accommodate that. So I had to wait to call back 15-20 minutes before I was able to pick it up. Did that, then hopped over to pick it up. This. place. was. PACKED. There was nowhere to park in the lot. Outdoor tables were full, not appropriately socially distanced. Indoors the tables were all full and packed, not socially distanced. Having visited this place pre-COVID, I understand the vibe and atmosphere is such that it's not exactly post-COVID friendly in terms of its set up, but yikes. Mask adherence seemed lax with customers and staff. Luckily, my order was ready so I simply paid and got out of there fast. The food itself was good - the wood fired pizza is on point. In this case, I would have liked to see more fresh mozzarella and basil on the pizza -- very sparse on those, and that's what makes a true margarita pizza sing. As I mentioned last time, it's on the pricier side like many places in the VB oceanfront/vibe area. So given all of that, it was just an alright visit for me. I'm not going to be jumping up and down to return soon - maybe when the world goes back to normal after the pandemic if they are still around and there's not a health outbreak!

Great service and dining experience. The steak frites were amazing! Reservations recommended

The entire Hearth menu looks great, but I've only ever managed to get the Thursday night smashburger because it is SO FREAKING DELICIOUS. The burger has a hearty texture, and the coating of cheese and combination of toppings is absolutely perfect. It also held up pretty well for a 20 minute drive home after pickup, in the COVID era. My husband did branch out and get a pizza once, and from the bite I tasted, that's also worth an order. MAYBE next time I'll try something new...

Came for Valentine's dinner. We usually don't go out on Valentine's Day but decided to give it a try. We made reservations a few weeks ago and we were surprised we could still get in. Dinner here is always amazing. Yes, the pizza is good but the entrees and specials are always phenomenal. We had the smoked salmon latkes and the fried devil egg to start with a Manhattan and an Old Fashion. Entrees were steak frites and the special lamb bolognese pasta with ricotta. We took the Madagascar cheese cake home for dessert. Our server, Becca, was genuine and very attentive. We will be back!!
