dine in or get it delivered!. while i've reviewedgranbystreet pizza before i'm going to focus this review on their delivery services.
i work about 6-8 blocks from them in downtown norfolk and have to say that they are spot on with their delivery's during the lunch hours. over the last couple of months we have ordered from them at least once a week and every time they have been consistently 10 minutes earlier than the quoted delivery time. the food is always oven fresh and piping hot. not only does it smell great, it looks great to. i like a restaurant that takes pride in the way their product is presented. also or all you 'green folks' their delivery cart is also fully electric.. so no carbon emissions.
all in all it's always a pleasure to have lunch from them. no complaints here. great food, great service and attention to detail.

always good... always!. another great meal atgranbystreet pizza. we popped in for lunch the other day and had an assortment of goodies. i had 2 slices of the italian flag bianca while my co-worker had a slice with jalapeño, ham & pineapple and a side of fried mushrooms.
our server was fast and friendly and the food was on the table about 5-6 minutes after ordering. out drinks stayed full as well and she even brought us full carry out drinks for the walk back to work. top notch!

great unique pizza!. how is it that i haven't visitedgranbystreet pizza before now? this was a really really good pizza and i implore anyone who likes pizza to put this place on your short list.
i arrived around 1:30pm and there was still a fairly large lunch crowd inside. the outdoor seating area, empty today except for one lone smoker, is on your right as you walk in the front door. the first room you enter has the kitchen and some sparse seating. it's painted a dark yellow color and there is a nice wood paneling through out. pizza's are on display under a glass barrier. the main dining area is in the next room, its painted dark green and has the same wood work. there's a sign that says "seat yourself". which i was happy to do. :)
my server arrived quickly and i placed my order. 25 minutes went by and i still didn't have my slices. i was starting to think about a nasty urbanspoon review when she came back and apologized profusely for the wait. she was taking care of a party in the back and they were running her ragged. apology accepted. let's get on to the pizza.
i have to say i wasn't expecting much here figuring it was just another place with nyc style slices. i was wrong... so wrong... what was placed before me was pizza perfection. large slices, very thin and very crispy. the bottom was dark brown and they didn't droop when you lifted them to your mouth. the taste? wow! the bread was so fresh and the sauce was fantastic. cheese blend was good as well. i had pepperoni and mushrooms for the toppings and the mushrooms were freshly cut.
on my next visit i'm definitely bringing a friend and think i'm going to sample one of the specialty pizzas on the menu. the one called the italian flag (tomato, spinach, ricotta, romano, mozzarella, & garlic) looks very interesting.
granby street pizza is also not only a pizza parlor; it's a full service restaurant. they have stromboli, calzones, lasagna, chicken & eggplant parmesan, subs, gyros and more. i saw a desert menu to but didn't look at it. there's also a full service bar in the back of the main the dining room.
i'll be back soon. with reinforcements!
