Azalea Inn & Time Out Sports Bar

My friend tells me this is the best pizza in all of Tidewater! So I finally got to try it and can honestly say they do make a good pizza pie. This isn't a secret. In the time we were enjoying our lunch 6 other parties came in and had pizzas brought to their tables as well. The outdoor seating area was inviting (but it was a bit breezy so we ate inside). The interior decor is traditional bar material with lots of wood grain and mirrors. There was plenty of seating and the appetizers were big enough for 4 people to share.

My brother is a coach asked his wife where we could take him. She told me how much he loved azalea inn. We went there and we enjoyed the food the service and the atmosphere. It was my first time there. The pizza was hot fresh and delicious.

My food was scrumptious. Waitress was horrible. Never asked if i needed anything else water or if my food was good. I attempted a couple of times to grab her attention and she ignored me several times and just looked at me and walked away. I had to ask another waitress for parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for my pizza. I was provided 5 cents of service and provided a tip of .05 cents. I have never had this poor service at this place.

A Norfolk institution for a reason, Azalea Inn & Time Out Sports Bar delivers a reliably satisfying experience that feels like coming home. It’s the kind of comfortable, no-frills spot that manages to be a great family restaurant and a lively sports bar all at once. The extensive menu is a major plus, offering everything from hearty Greek specialties to what is, without a doubt, one of the best pizzas in the city. On our last visit, we went for the classic "Azalea Special" pizza, and it was loaded with toppings, boasting a perfectly cooked crust and generous layers of cheese. It’s clear they haven't cut corners over the years. The atmosphere in the dining room side is relaxed and family-friendly—you can see why it's been a local favorite for generations. On the other side, the Time Out Sports Bar is buzzing whenever there's a game on, with plenty of screens and a great energy. The reason it doesn't quite hit that perfect five-star mark is some minor inconsistency, particularly with service speed on very busy nights. While the staff is always friendly, things can slow down when the place is packed, leading to a longer-than-expected wait for your food. It’s a small wrinkle in an otherwise fantastic neighborhood gem. Nonetheless, for its comforting food, welcoming vibe, and the sheer reliability of a good meal, Azalea Inn is a cornerstone of Norfolk's dining scene that rarely disappoints. It’s a must-try for anyone looking for authentic local flavor.

Hidden Gem with Great Food and Service Azalea Inn & Time Out Sports Bar is a diamond in the rough! Their lunch menu is surprisingly expansive, and with our large group, everyone always finds something they enjoy. I personally always go for the hamburger steak with gravy and mashed potatoes—it’s absolutely delicious. The sweet tea is also spot-on, and the service has always been consistently good with little to no wait for food. This spot is definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. Great food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere!

I have been craving a pastrami sandwich and finally a restaurant that has it on their menu. It was everything I had hoped for and more. The service was also the best I have received in a long time. Kudos to this restaurant for hiring and training their servers to be friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back. The tiramasu was yummy and so was the baklava. Although the baklava was heated a touch too long which made it chewy. Still tasty though.

Ordered my pizza, got there in 30 minutes as told. And my pizza was cold box was wrinkled and cold like it was in the fridge. The manager was rude, would not refund my money because they make it to order fresh. Don’t waste your money or time.

Cheese curds were great. Pizza didn't live up to the hype I heard. Staff was friendly, but a little slow checking on us. Would go back.
