Pizza Bones RVA / FriendBar

Neighborhood pizzeria and wine bar in Church Hill. It's doing a thriving business with take outs and plenty of dining in and out seating. Outdoor picnic tables are well suited for kids and friends hanging out enjoying time together. We had a large party and the staff was very eager to accommodate our wishes. Their service was on point, delivering our pies on time. All their pizzas are 14"(medium size) thin sour dough crust with a light layer of toppings. The result is a tasty pie that satisfies. The average cost is around $16, unless it's cheese, which is $14. I think that's a bit pricey for what you get. But for young urbanites that's not a concern. Great vibe and fun place for relaxed pizza eating.

The best pizza I've had in RVA. Their regular pies are so tasty and I love their creative specials as well. this past week was a Saag Paneer one. The crust is some of the best I've ever had...not sure if it's a naturally leavened crust but they use local flour. Going for dinner later in the week and weekends, be prepared to wait a bit for your pizza(s) as they get slammed.

Great place to dine in. Staff was friendly. Cheese pizza was good. The crust was a little too crispy for my taste. Other than that, everything was great!

Excellent pizza. Great service. Great outdoor seating. I love this place! But, what's up with dim as midnight lighting in the restroom? Not cool.

Pizza was out on time and easy pick up process. Great patio area to sit and eat. I took it over to Libby Hill. Crispy crust and not to oily. Got a pepperoni pizza.

The food was great. We ordered a 14 inch ( 6 slices) pepperoni. The cheese is aurhentic the crust taste like they make it fresh daily. It taste like NY pizza! They offer vegan options, sides, beverages and spirits. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was super clean. Its a great place to brong the entire family. You can dine inside or outside. They have plenty of space outside for your fur babies. Please like and subscribe for more authentic videos.

The service is friendly and the pizza is above the rest with reasonable prices. The dough is the best I have ever tried. We had a pepperoni and a cheese pizza plus cheesy bread. All were very delicious. The drinks are reasonably priced and the outdoor seating was very comfortable.

Cozy neighborhood pizza spot / conjoined wine bar. They only offer 14" pizzas and limited toppings, but the pizzas themselves are quite good! We got the pepperoni and the white special, which was a Mediterranean pizza with artichoke that was phenom! I was also really impressed with the side salad (not pictured) - just fresh greens in a citrus olive oil dressing with pistachios. It was refreshing and the perfect compliment to the pizza. There's a limited amount of seating inside, but there's a number of covered (and uncovered) picnic benches outside. Definitely would work for larger groups. The space definitely has character, and is currently decorated for spooky season. Certainly worth a visit for any pizza fan in the area.

Good pizza~ I ordered the white special (ricotta and squash) and added sausage to the pizza as well. The crust was really good. The front of the restaurant does not have that many seats and it was kind of busy when I went during lunch time on a weekday. I sat in the back of the restaurant (where the wine and bathrooms are) and the decor was very charming and quaint. Service was fast. Not many options on menu but they definitely know how to make solid pizza. Next time I hope to try their red special or pepperoni.

Great vibe / atmosphere and music piped outside added to the ambiance. The pizza is kind of a Buffalo style w a thicker crust than Neapolitan--still thin, but cheweier rather than floppy--easier to eat. Great flavor. There are natural wines available, but we didn't really see anyone manning the store where those were to help and I saw bottles being brought to the pizza side of things to purchase...my wife is a Somm. so no biggie for us, but this is truly pizza first and wine 2nd. Dogs allowed is a plus. You may wait a bit in a crowd, but it was a nice wait as we enjoyed drinks out front. We'll be back.

They've got some fun-ass flavors (Nacho Supreme!) as well as reliable classics (Pepperoni Mushroom) - those were the two we got anyways and loved. What more could you want in a pizza shop! Also appreciate how they host a run club, trivia, all the stuffs that a good Richmond staple needs. Felt good to support local and get some of the most reliable pizza we've had in Richmond in-return.

Easy to order online and perfect sized pizzas for one or two people. When I went in to get the food, it was quick and easy. Unfortunately, none of us loved the pizza. We ordered 3 and all the crusts were burnt or too chewy to enjoy and the pizza was underwhelming. We paid $2 to add pepperoni to 2 pizzas and it was only 1 piece per slice. Heavy on the veg additions, which I do like! Also we love ranch with pizza and theirs is was not it - way too tangy. We all agreed that we would want to go back and try again.

pizza bones is so Richmond. They have the coolest local pop up events like InWine's Pride Prom, mini markets, or Star and Moon Video Club's movie night. They uplift local bizs in the area and have such a welcoming atmosphere. The patio space outside is really nice on a cool evening. They have seating inside too. There are two sections to this shop: a wine one and a pizza one. You'll order up front and pick up your items when they're ready. You'll build your pizza how you like it. Things are a bit on the pricier side. When I come here, it's for vibes and to support local. The pizza is a bit too greasy and crunchy for my taste, but it's still pretty good. I adore their wine selections here. There are quite a few organic and natural wines to pick from. I'd highly recommend checking out pizza bones for one of their awesome collab events.

We've tried this place twice now. Love the concept and want to like the place, but experience has just been terrible each time. Each time they've taken roughly an hour to make 1 small pizza, and neither pizza was good. It was not busy either time. Employees are just kinda ... there. They have no urgency and there seems to be some entitlement and a distinct "whatever" attitude towards customers. It's too bad, because the natural wine store next door is awesome.

Excellent pizza as always. I think the thing that makes this pizza is the crust. It's chewy and pillowy at the same time and perfectly crisp. Pizza bones has perfected the crust. The location/ seating is mostly outside which is the only drawback.

We've had pizza from pizza bones a couple of times, always pickup. They do have a cute patio space and a little bit of indoor seating, though. If you're coming from outside the neighborhood, keep in mind that it's street parking only. You can call to place your order, or order through toasttab on their website. It lets you choose toppings for the whole pizza or each half. The pizza is good and the customer service is always prompt and kind. I'd say the pizza is a little salty, but I like it salty. The mini cookies are delicious, don't forget to order those with your pizza!

Very patient and friendly staff. Nice environment indoor and outdoor seating. Pizza was good.

I first tried Pizza Bones when they were doing pop-ups out of Carytown Cupcakes' kitchen in 2020, and got hooked! I enjoy how they cook the pizza pretty well, where the crust is crispy. It is a thinner style crust, which is my favorite kind! Basil, garlic, cheese is always flowing and keeping it flavorful. I was thrilled to learn they were getting their brick & mortar, though Church Hill is a little hike from Carytown, I'll make it for them. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. I enjoy that they offer online ordering as well, and you receive text updates about your order. It's also cool that they utilize their space for pop-ups and markets from time to time, for other local vendors. They have one of my favorite cheese pizzas in Richmond. Pictured is a recent special they ran this past week--Jalapeño Popper--so unique and so good!

Long overdue review for Pizza Bones, but had to get on here to share my glowing, overwhelming love for them due to their truly extraordinary pizza!!!! Okay, so if you're a fan of delicious crust (CHECK!), insanely flavorful cheese (CAN CONFIRM!), and then some really creative flavor combos with their specials (YAAAAS) then Pizza Bones is for you. Their cheese pizza deserves a trophy because it is truly a work of art. They posted a video once of how they layer the cheese / flavors together, and you can 100000% tell as it is such a flavor blast for what is seemingly such a simple pizza. I'm also a big pepperoni lady, and they have some seriously tasty pepperoni. On top of having delicious pizza, they also have a cutie wine shop, host some amazing dinners and events, are run by a truly lovely and wonderful staff - seriously such a gem in the area and one of my favorite spots. If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and GO NOW. (also, very important PSA, get their CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIESSSSS)

Do not get delivery! Driver said they called and text and they did not. Pizza was over an hour late. Left on the ground by my apartment complex door. Was cold and looks like it was dropped. Called numerous times to store and nobody answered. They did call me back to just said sorry. Very disappointed in the service. Won't be going back.

Good crust... Great roinecups... Sauce is lacking on seasonings glad they had some on the tables. Service is super friendly and laid back. Will say it's one of the better pizza joints in the RVA. Tiger

The service was great. The woman behind the counter knew her stuff and didn't undersell how good the tomato jam was. The pizza was really good - the crust was perfectly chewy and crisp. I would have given 5 stars but the beverage choices were weird. The only non-alcoholic options were water (still or sparking), milk, and regular coke. Not to be indelicate but Coke hurts my stomach and I'm not 6 so I went with the water but seriously, no iced tea or lemonade or even a sprite? I just thought that was weird. I don't want a tiny modelo beer at 2pm.

The VEGAN pizza (veg cheese, veg pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, peppers, onions) SO SO GOOD. And the woman taking our order was really personable and cool. The decor is on point. Lots of seating options but we took ours to-go this time to eat at our hotel. We shall be back and I'd love to dine in. YES: vegan friendly

Great quality ingredients, fun vibe epic fail on crust. No soggy crust please, particularly at a pizza joint when dining in.

Good pizza. Quality ingredients. We place our orders for pick up about 2 hours in advance. Unfortunately in the last month our pick up time has been 20+ minutes later than promised.

Pizza bones has the best pizza around! The crust is thin and crispy and the toppings taste so fresh. Sometimes they run out of their specials quick, but no matter because everything is delicious. The outdoor seating is also fantastic!

Cool place with a great vibe. The pepperoni pizza we ordered was excellent. We are from NY so finding pizza we are happy with is no easy task. We will make this place a regular on our pizza nights.

I got the white special for this week and it was scrumptious I tell you they make the most perfect sourdough crust -so crunchy and the back of the pizza wasn't burnt like most places! The service was amazing and the music and vibes were all there !

I know the yelp community has been waiting on my thoughts for this restaurant and I am finally ready to express them - this place is simply amazing. This was the best pizza I may have ever had in my time as a mortal on this planet. The sourdough crust they use should be studied in all academia for its attributes which fall nothing short of perfection. I'll sing the praises of this pizza so long as I have air in my lungs. Pizza bones, keep on keeping on.

Pizza was good, and the guy who made the pizza, gave me extra ranch upon request. Get more seating place may be outside and this will be a great hangout spot. Would recommend 100% for pick up on the pizza.

Pizza and service are excellent! Take out or dine in you decide, wind and beer selection wide ranged.

Ordered two pizzas and was told it'd be an hour, this being a Monday night. Came in an hour and ten minutes later and the pizza had yet to be put in the oven, there were still tickets "ahead" of mine and it'd be half an hour before the food would be ready. They said they were "busy" but I suspect they were prioritizing customers they knew and people that were in store. Cancelled the order and have no intention of getting pizza here again, they attempted to act like they didn't have to cancel it at first. Two hours for pizza is disgraceful. The worst part is that the staff was incredibly blasé about the whole thing, offering no apologies or restitution of any kind.

Another great experience here, this time with multiple kids in tow! The pizza never disappoints and the ambiance is perfect for families.

Let's talk about their pizza. Thin crispy crust edges, fresh toppings, and absolutely delicious. Now the Green Special has us intrigued: spinach saag as the base, feta, mozzarella, basmati rice, and roasted shallots. Not only did this pizza smell fantastic but the flavor was incredible. Very unique flavor & quite delicious. Unfortunately there was no vegan cheese available, so pepperoni, green peppers, & onions made it on the other pizza. The vegetables are thinly cut & fresh! Limited non-alcoholic drink menu -Tap Water, Coke, Sparkling Water so stick with the wine or beer. The cashier/server was very friendly & the open garage door let in a cool breeze. Great local spot! Looking forward to other unique specials!

BING BONG! THEY MESSED UP MY LIFE! I can't eat pizza anywhere else. This shi right here, best pizza in rva. Reminds of pizza in nyc. Small spot so you know they put all the love and elbow grease into making your pizza.

If your out and about in Churchill on a beautiful day and need a place sit down, rest your Bones and refuel your in luck. A flavorful simple pizza pie, fresh and hot delivered to your outside patio table does the trick. Although the menu,drinks are limited you'll leave satisfied and feeling good.

After multiple visits to Pizza Bones over the past couple of years, it's become obvious that they fall short on consistency and quality control. Too many times, I've been served a pizza that is burnt and unpalatable. But the people there are very nice. Just need to figure out how to cook a pizza without burning it.

Yelp does not allow me to give this the 3 1/2 that would be more accurate, but please understand that I think Pizza Bones is better than a 3 but not a 4. With that said... This is a pleasant place in Church Hill that basically does one thing--pizza. And it does an OK job of it. But this is pizza, and when you are charging $14 for a medium cheese pie, you need to be better than OK, because the competition is fierce. The selling point at Pizza Bones is that the crust is made with sourdough. That may well be true, but I didn't notice any difference between their dough and a typical thin crust dough so I don't know that this is much of a differentiator. Pies come in one size--the 14" medium. We ordered two--a double cheese pie and a double cheese and pepperoni pie. They came out a little overdone. A blistered crust is nice. A burned one is not as nice. Looking at the pies, it is almost as if the oven is not heating evenly or that the pizzaiolo is not moving the pies around as needed while cooking. The pies are also VERY greasy. I expect that (although not to this extent) with the pepperoni, but not the plain cheese pie. Cheese and pepperoni were of very high quality. This did not taste likeover-processed food service "pizza cheese blend" junk. For pies that were ordered with double cheese, there was not a ton of the topping. I hesitate to find out how sparse a single cheese topping might be. That said, double cheese is only $1 extra which is very reasonable. The pepperoni was the smaller type that "cups" when heated. It was quite good with a nice spiciness. Unfortunately with the amount of grease from the pizza, the pepperoni cups were filled with oil which wasn't pleasant. More problematic was the very poor distribution of toppings. See the photo below. This is not how it is done. Non-alcoholic drink options are FAR too limited--Mexican Coke, Topo Chico water, or Richmond City Water. We need some Diet Coke and other options. Not everyone wants to drink beer and wine--although nothing wrong with it if you do. Look, it's an OK pizza. But at the price point they are setting, it just is not able to match the neighborhood's high-end pizza competition like Anthony's and 8 1/2. Don't avoid it but don't make a special trip either.

Delicious pizza with friendly staff! The crust is unique and tastes like sourdough. We made our own pizza. Ingredients taste fresh and the pizza was not greasy. Don't miss the pizza here while in Church Hill!

This is a new pizza place in Churchill and overall it's pretty good! They appear to only be doing Togo or you can dine outside at a picnic table. They have limited alcoholic beverages but the rose and red wine were both good. The pizza itself was pretty good. Out of 10 I would give it a 7.2. The best part was how thin, crispy and charred the crust was. I got a pepperoni and it was really greasy but I didn't mind. The pizzas are expensive - $14 for a cheese and $16 for a pepperoni plus $1 per extra topping. They didn't have many topping options available, mainly onion, peppers and olives (there might be 1-2 toppings I am forgetting). The pizzas are 14" in size. I devoured mine but others in my party had 2-4 slices for leftovers.

LOVE! Delicious, fresh pizzas made with naturally leavened dough! I can't wait to go back for more. Find out for yourselves! Please try this place!

7/10 pizza, loved that you could get different toppings on each half of a pie! Thin crust

Had take-out from this cute little neighborhood spot. Excellent pizza; pleasant service. There's a wine bar in the shared space, and picnic tables outside under a roof. The white pizza blew my mind!

First time eating at this local spot. Customer service was awesome. Pizza was tasty and cheesy. Cookies were also tasty.. loved the sea salt on top. My only complaint about this place is drink menu. It's very limited and not kid friendly. We will return but will bring beverages with us

Great crust. You can tell the ingredients are of the highest quality. It was however a little saltier than I would prefer. It also took almost 2 hours to get 1 pizza. They did give us a free coke, so I guess that makes up for it? Overall a good pizza for a good price.

very nice staff, amazing pizza, clean building, and great atmosphere. currently there is construction on the roads outside but it didn't take away from the experience at all.

We love it here. Had it for the first time yesterday .. annnnnd we're back again tonight. Pepperoni is delish with some basil and oregano added. Taste is fresh! We eat in because it's about a 20 minute drive and it's been nice - just a few tables indoors but lots of outdoor seating!

Drove for 30 minutes to try this spot out that my son recommended. Fantastic pizza and the folks were really nice who worked there. Very good flavor and no grease at all. I would eat the crust by itself. Atmosphere was cool since the building was perhaps a gas station in the past. Also, nice touch of having water in glass containers that are cold. Give them a try and always remember to support our local businesses and tip well if you are able to do so.

This was our second vist and there will definitely be more! Thin crispy crust pizza heaven! Interesting wine selection too!

This is possibly the best vegan pizza in richmond. I have never tried the non-vegan pizza.

A must of RVA. Pizza is great, cool vibes, great with kids (they have chalk so they can run around and play outside while parents eat dinner). It's a classic community spot and the pizza is nuts.

Delicious classic Bianchi pizza cooked to perfection. Service was above and beyond while managing a busy Saturday afternoon. The additional salad had the right amount of tang and pistachio crunch. Overall worth the wait!

*Rated M for Mature Adults only* I almost didn't write this review for fear of these buns becoming so popular that I would never wake up in time to get one again, but instead my hope is that they get so popular Pizza Bones expands into 500 locations and I will never miss out on a bun again. With that said, these buns are very special. So special that they sell out so frequently I fail to get one most weekends. Due to my selfish tendencies I ask that only MATURE ADULTS order these and not for their toddlers who will never appreciate the art that is Ashley's Danish Bun. If your toddler's palate is refined to notice aged cheddar, salted butter made by happy cows, and the present textural modalities in these buns then fine, I stand corrected. All I'm saying is in a world where adulting looks like anti depressants and bills, please remember these pastries exist. If you have a proclivity to gastronomic excellence, this ball of yeast will make you feel something, even after 30mg of Zoloft. As a deliciously plump kid my ask was not to stop at the upcoming McDonalds, but to sneakily slip a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in the grocery cart. Pizza Bone's cardamom bun tastes like that nostalgia, in an elevated mature way, that absolves you of any guilt you may have after eating 3-4. Ashley's food is thoughtful in a way that only a creative master Boulanger could be. Between the sourdough crust, raw sugar and sunflower seed toppings on her pastries, and harissa sauce on pizza the menu is raising the bar Richmond's food scene offers and for that I am grateful. (P.S to these other reviewers: If you can't handle the delicacy of cardamom instead of cinnamon, the signature kiss of black cheese bubbles from a pizza oven on your crust, and pistachios on your pizza.. just admit you're boring and stop raining on everyone else's parade)

I have really enjoyed eating the pizza in the past but this Saturday I came in to try their sourdough waffles and pastries. I got a blueberry waffle and it tasted great with a side of butter and syrup. We tried their cheese and butter morning bun which is kind of more like a dinner roll than it is a traditional morning bun but it was good and really substantial. I like that she uses sourdough and all of her items.

Simple menu with only a few options, simple drinks either one of three wines or a generic beer, simple outdoor seating area picnic table style, and a simply delicious pizza! The crust was thin and flavorful with great texture and was topped generously with fresh ingredients. I wish they had some local beers to go with their pizza, but it was tasty and I would recommend this place for a quality to-go pizza.

We loved our first visit to Pizza Bones. We ordered one pepperoni pizza and it was the perfect size for two people to spilt. The pizza is made from fresh sourdough bread - the crust was PERFECT. We heard several other customers raving about their pizzas at neighboring picnic tables; the pizza is definitely a hit. Pizza Bones is a great addition to the neighborhood and Richmond as a whole. We will definitely be coming back frequently!

The pizza was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the staff very accomodating. Definetely worth a trip and a top pie in my opinion
