Ynot Italian

What a great meal! The place was clean and service was awesome. I had pizza while the wife had salad and pasta. The craft beer selection was nice! We will be back next time we are in the area.

We order from them at least once per week. The food quality is consistent, the rewards are nice (love to get the free pizza), and the taste is good. The only complaints I have relate to personal preferences (instead of fresh green pepper it’s that stuff from a jar, which I don’t care for). Also, the tiramisu is great, but for $ 6.99 the portion is extremely small.
The subs are great, always a nice portion, the pizza is not too greasy, and the dinner salads are fresh.

I’ll tell you why not!
The ONLY reason to get anything from this place would be the convenience of online ordering.
I ordered an 18″ Margherita pizza with mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were cold, the cheese in the middle was not cooked through. When I bit into a mozzerella stick, a cold watery substance dripped out. The cheese was solid.
The pizza looked unappealing, like tomato paste was spooned out of a can on top of the dough. It tasted acidic and the cheese was a joke. I will upload a picture for you.
I will not not get anything from Ynot Pizza ever again. I cannot recommend this establishment. I am being honest when I say that this is the worst food I’ve eaten in this area. The price tag on this experience… $ 28. AVOID

Just ordered from here for the first time. OMG, so impressed! My husband got strombolis & got the kids a pizza. Ordered dessert too. Everything enjoyed their food. My éclair was way bigger than anticipated but every bite was amazing! Will definitely be ordering again

The staff was very friendly and service was quick. I had higher expectations for the food from what I’ve heard. It was ok, but not anything special. The garlic rolls were alright. Could definitely use more… uh garlic? The garden salad was meh. The stuffed shells were really good but I feel I didn’t get $ 11 worth. I may come here again to give it another try but not in any hurry.

This particular location is much bigger than the other in Norfolk so that was a plus. They had a nice little bar setup over to the right they also have a private room in the back that I’m assuming you can use for birthday events. I was there for birthday event but it looks like that room was taken by someone else already. They also have a decent selection of craft beer available.
The pizza was pretty good. The marinara sauce is playing but if you had enough toppings on to your pizza it’ll work out. My friend ordered the pasta that unfortunately didn’t work out too well for her because of the very bland marinara sauce which usually is expected at these franchise type places. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer it was ok. It seemed a little undercooked and couldn’t tell if its pre frozen or not. Don’t think I’d order it again. The garlic knots are awesome I can’t lie ate a whole plate of those things by myself.
All in all this was a cool pretty cool place to come to. If you want a different type of pizza experience I’d recommend coming here

I used to love this place but awhile back i ordered a delivery order of the pizza rolls and it had a hair in it… ok shit happens. so i decide today to order spaghetti n garlic knots while at work… no hair this time just a white piece of what appeared to be part of a plastic fork! Cant say I’ll be ordering from here again… however the delivery driver was super friendly that the only plus i can say

Ynot Pizza — the beige Camry of pizzas. Italian food of necessity. Ever heard that saying, «jack of all trades, master of none?» That’s Ynot. They excel at a large and varied menu, custom chopped salad bar, deserts and other miscellaneous menu items. There’s something for everyone.
The good: Their pizza dough, and subsequently their garlic knots, is very good. Perfectly crispy and chewy.
The bad: The pizza itself is always very wet inside. The sauce lacks umph IMHO.
I’ve dined in a few times but mostly we pickup. Ynot is on the way home for lazy weeknights when I’m not feelin the sodium content of the chain delivery spots (don’t lie though… sometimes we all crave a salty Pizza Hut creation). Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother here.

I love coming here for the chopped salad. I always do the build your own. For my dressing I usually do Italian dressing. I love their desserts as well. Get me a slice of red velvet please!#
Good prices, good food, great experience.

Went here because we were in the area, wanted pizza, and we had been to YNot Pizza in Norfolk before. We decided to sit outside because it was a mild breezy evening and it was freezing inside. It was a good choice, only having one tenacious fly buzzing around us. There was a special on craft beers, so I ordered up an Aleworks Weisse. It was good but very citrus tasting. As it sat, the citrus taste took over and became stronger.
The waitress was excellent. Very friendly, kept the water flowing, and was good with my kids. We just wanted a pizza and somehow ordered something that almost looked like a pizza calzone. It was tomato and basil. That part was good and the bread was tasty. I have to remind myself that when ordering something that resembles a calzone, you are going to get a lot of bread. I didn’t mind it though.
Overall, the experience was a pleasant one. Food was decent, service was good, and the outdoor weather was a nice change of pace. We were tempted by the desserts but decided that night wasn’t right for a cannoli.

I have had Y not pizza many times. It is tooooooooo garlicky I don’t like that after taste in my pizza. I love pizza and I fee like you have to do a lot wrong to mess it up so with that said its pizza so it’s good but it’s not my favorite.

I have had takeout from Ynot before, but this was the first time I had eaten at the restaurant. As you walk in, your olfactories are hit with the delicious smell of garlic. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately. After a long day of registering for baby stuff (reviews for those places are forthcoming), all I wanted was pasta.
I went with spaghetti w/​arribiata sauce, mushrooms and onions from the pasta creations menu, while hubs ordered shrimp fra diavolo (we like things spicy). Both pasta dishes were delicious! And, we were served very generous portions. We went to Ynot on Sunday evening and I had two days’ worth of leftovers!)
I also want to include that our server, Matt, was awesome! He was knowledgeable in the items off of the menu and he constantly checked in on us.
Needless to say, we will be coming back to this Ynot location!

My family and I have been here 2 times (Greenbrier Location). The first time was for our daughter’s school function (Greenbrier Primary) last year which I thought the place was too small to hold any sort of function for a large crowd. The food was decent and service at that time was super slow (but that was to be expected). So we decided to go there again a few weeks ago for the second time, and our food taste great and the portion size was decent for dinner. The kids portion was actually bigger any other Italian restaurants around town.
Our server on the other hand needed much improvement. She doesn’t know what ingredients are in the dish (I have some food allergies) or what’s in the house salad dressing. Half way through our dinner is when she come and asked if we want some bread which I thought it was weird since if you’re going to offer any baked bread, it should be before appetizer. I don’t know if we would give it another chance and try this place again.

I continue to be impressed with Ynot Pizza. I have been going to Ynot since they first opened in the Kempsville area years ago and they have only gotten better and better year after year. Not only is the pizza delicious, but the entrees and desserts are amazing as well.
My coworker is huge into craft beer and he raves about Ynot’s selection. Apparently it is a central hub in the greenbrier area for craft beer lovers.
Today, my workplace ordered a few pizzas for the staff and not one of us were disappointed. The Chesapeake location does a great job and I highly recommend giving them a go if you haven’t already.

We visited Ynot (Tony spelled backwards) — Italian in Chesapeake while in town visiting a friend. He recommended that we go there for lunch. Yum! I am from the north and I miss good Italian food. Ynot, please come to Raleigh, NC for me. You remind me of good Italian food that I can get in PA.
I ordered garlic cheese bread as an appetizer for our table. This really hit the spot. They have great bread and they executed the garlic cheese bread perfectly — just like back home in PA. For my lunch, I ordered a «side salad» and a slice of pizza. Our waiter recommended the Sicilian pizza so, I followed his lead. Salad wise –this was my only disappointment. I ordered a «side salad» which is not even on the menu. My guess is that he brought me a garden salad. With the create your own chopped salad section, I had high expectations. I didn’t even think to ask what kind of lettuce mix I would be getting. Unfortunately, it was iceberg. Just a mental note — ask about your lettuce mix when you order. If I had known that, I would have paid more for a lettuce upgrade. Other than that, however, I was pleased. I asked if they make any of their own salad dressings and he recommended the Oil and Vinegar. It was great. I had chick peas added to my salad and added some parmesan cheese from the jar on the table and it took me back to my northern roots. Pizza wise, it was good too. My husband ordered a stromboli and the dough looked great. He was pleased. Our friend, who lives in the neighborhood and visits frequently ordered a Philly Cheesesteak. Being from PA, I take cheese steaks seriously. Although I didn’t taste his steak, it looked legit — all down to the awesome looking bread. Ynot — I’ll be back. Maybe next time, I’ll save some room for either one of your nice microbrews (a small but, good selection) or some of your desserts.

We picked up our order and unfortunately we were a little late picking it up. Thankfully that didn’t matter, the pizza was still hot when we got it home. When dealing with calling in your order, it is a hit or miss when talking to the employees. Sometimes they’re great, other times they’re not so helpful. Love the food though!!!
