★★★★★ – A Hidden Gem of Nostalgia and Flavor
The staff here felt like family—so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The place has a cozy, classic vibe, complete with an old-school arcade machine (yes, even Pac-Man!). It brought back so many happy memories. I was instantly filled with nostalgia the moment I walked in.
Now let me tell you about the pizza. I came in expecting your standard greasy, foldable New York slice—but oh no. What I got instead was a gourmet surprise: crispy, crunchy crust, the perfect amount of sauce, just the right cheese ratio—it was absolutely fantastic. Every bite was a treat.
This place is truly a local treasure. Great people, amazing food, and a heartwarming atmosphere. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Mixed reviews but tried it anyway–
The good:
Pizza was good, people were nice.
The not so good:
1. It smelled like an elementary cafeteria. Whatever they use to clean tables with is just so overpowering and such a gross smell it really ruined it for me. I don’t mind the old 90s dingy kinda vibe with the old artwork on the walls, etc. but smell can make or break. This was the worst part in my opinion.
2. Two 17″ pizzas and 4 drinks was $64.
Too much for what it is. Everywhere has high prices now, I get that– but dang.
Probably won’t go back, but if we do it’ll be carry-out for sure.

First time I’ve been in here and I ordered a steak and cheese. It was over $10. Fine I understand prices have gone up. What wasn’t fine was the two little slivers of steak on it. The bread was good, but I did not feel like it was a good value at all. It’s not that it was bad, it just felt like I wasn’t getting much for my money. I’m usually not hungry after I eat a 12-in steak and cheese, but there’s usually a substantial amount of steak and cheese on a steak and cheese. It was more like a bread sandwich with some steak and cheese sprinkled on top. The atmosphere was cool it felt like 1980s.
I won’t waste my time or money at this place. I can get a better meal for The same or less.

Called to ask if they do delivery and the lady who picked up the phone was very rude, said no, and then just hung up. Who doesn’t do delivery in the year 2026? Not sure how they are staying business as a pizza shop without delivery. Been twice over the years and both times nobody was even in the pizza shop. But again, who doesn’t do delivery in 2026? Heck you don’t even need to hire your own drivers now with all the delivery options out there.
Oh well, guess they will become the Blockbuster of pizza in Culpeper.

This pizza was gross, maybe a step above the major brands like Pizza Hut, little Caesars and Papa John’s. Crust was good however the sauce wasn’t very good at all and the toppings on top was weird.

Have never been. Got a medium 3 ingred pizza, $18!!! It wasn’t pizza crust. Crust is supposed to stay flat, this dropped down like a wet noodle. There was an odd taste to the sauce but I can’t put my finger on it. The cheese was very good. But the onions were just slices, making it EXTREMELY hard to eat, slopping all over the chin.
Their boxes aren’t big enough for the pizza as you’ll see in the pix. At SOME point we’ll find a good pizza in the Freddy/Culpeper area. Even the male, who NEVER complains about food, didn’t like it.

Decent pizza that would probably win an award for the greasiest in all of Culpeper. The restaurant is a throwback to the 80s. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than a few people in there. They serve pitchers, so that’s a bonus!

My father who lives in Abington VA (5 hours away) has me stop at Pete’s to bring him a pizza or 2 when I go to visit him.

Me and my girlfriend came in for our first time to try, the lady was laying down in the booth and when we came up to order we felt rushed. She said we only have 6 slices of cheese left with little attitude. We sat at the table and waited and I asked the lady get more napkins and she grabbed the container from my hand and got another one and pushed it into my hand like what the heck. Pizza slices could be better and cooked fresher and place was not clean and food all under the tables and especially where we’re sitting and the table tops dirty as well.
