Sour Street Pizza

Sour Street Pizza brings the ancient art of wood-fired sourdough pizza to Norfolk's Ocean View neighborhood. Founded as a beloved local food truck before establishing their charming brick-and-mortar location at 4035 E Ocean View Ave, this family-owned pizzeria has captured the hearts and taste buds of locals and visitors alike. The secret lies in their meticulous approach: using simple, fresh, locally sourced ingredients, an open flame, and plenty of time to craft pizzas with perfectly fermented sourdough crusts that are simultaneously chewy and crispy. Menu highlights include the crowd-favorite Arugula Prosciutto pie drizzled with hot honey, the spicy meatballs in marinara with creamy ricotta, and classic options like the Margherita and pepperoni. The white pizza with ricotta earns particular praise, while the Veggie Pizza loaded with peppers, olives, mushrooms, red onions, and parmesan satisfies vegetarians. The Caesar salad with anchovies and Arugula Pine Nut Salad provide perfect accompaniments. Open Tuesday through Sunday with hours varying by day, Sour Street Pizza welcomes walk-ins and accepts online orders through Toast for convenient pickup or delivery. With over 280 Google reviews averaging 4 stars, customers consistently praise the exceptional crust, perfect sauce, and gooey stringy cheese. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it perfect for family dinners, date nights, or casual gatherings with friends.
