At Chicho’s Pizza, every slice tells a story. What began as a humble dream in Virginia Beach has grown into a beloved local institution, serving up fresh, handmade pizzas with a side of community spirit. Our journey is one of passion, hard work, and a love for great food.
Where It All Began
At Chicho’s Pizza, it all started with a big dream and a simple idea: make great pizza using nothing but the freshest ingredients. In 1968, two Virginia Beach lifeguards turned that vision into reality, opening the first Chicho’s Pizza on the corner of 21st Street and Atlantic Avenue. From the moment the oven was fired up, locals and visitors alike fell in love with the mouthwatering aroma, sizzling fresh toppings, and the sight of pizzas being baked right before their eyes.
The Locals’ Favorite
Dubbed “The Locals’ Favorite,” Chicho’s quickly became more than just a pizza spot—it was a destination. The irresistible combo of handcrafted pizza and ice-cold beer solidified its legendary status, attracting everyone from beachgoers to renowned musicians looking for a post-concert slice.
Growing with the Community
From our first location in Virginia Beach, we quickly became a staple for locals and visitors alike. The combination of our signature pizzas, friendly service, and beachside vibes made Chicho’s a must-visit destination. Over the years, we expanded to new locations, bringing our passion for pizza to even more communities.
