We're always looking for new places to eat and have a few drinks. The pizza at Bird Girl did not disappoint. Our pizza was easily one of the best pizzas we've had in the 757. The crust was soft on the inside and crisp on the outside and baked to perfection. The canned adult beverage selection is very impressive. We had a couple of the on-draft options and weren't displeased with our selections. The young lady behind the counter was very helpful and pleasant when we explained it was our first visit. She took time to explain how the ordering worked, how to find drinks in the cooler case, and where the pizza menu was located and how to order. The only negative things we can say about Bird Girl don't really have anything to do with the restaurant, per se, but unfortunately, still affected the overall atmosphere of our visit. Parking in Hilton Village can be problematic so close-by spots may not be available. Don't be surprised if you find yourself parking a block or more away. The outdoor seating means other patrons who vape may be sitting outside with you infringing on your clean air. It also means parents with unruly, ill-behaved children may be allowing them to run amok playing tag, hide and seek, climbing on the tables, screeching, and generally being uncontrollable. But, if these things don't bother you or you're lucky enough to have no vapers or inconsiderate parents then you'll find Bird Girl the perfect place for a great pizza and great...
Read moreComing here from everywhere else, there are some real gems when it comes to food in Newport News, Hampton area, Deadrise impressed me first when I came here from more expensive Chesapeake Bay areas for great seafood, Midtown Eats has some truly inventive takes on diner food that leads to a menu that reads like a very rich life story written in food. Bird Girl Bottle Shop is one of the most interesting places to enjoy beer or wine and pizza I have seen anywhere. The simplest cheese pizza on the menu is a good test of anywhere, and they deliver on quality. Just the right amount of chewiness and crunch and touch of char on the crust, and great stretchy chewy cheese with just a bit of bite to it, and sauce giving the underlying umami tang. Solid on all the basics wins a lot of tournaments against flashy players. But then I try pizza with egg drizzled on top. It adds to that solid base a truly creative and unexpected sweet egg yolk drizzle balanced with smokey bacon, serving up something genuinely brilliant and surprising that I've never had before (a rarity at this point in my life). Definitely go here. Then come back again, and again. The...
Read moreWe've been meaning to try Bird Girl Bottle Shop's pizza for a while, and finally made a day trip to Newport News for a little adventure. 🚗🍕 Bird Girl is located in an adorable little cottage with quaint outdoor seating. 🏡🌳 It features a draft menu and a wide selection of individual cans where we found many unique beers and ciders. 🍺🍻 But the pizza here was the star of the show. 🌟🍕
Bird Girl has 3 regular pizzas on the menu and one weekly special. We had the "J" red sauce pizza and added pepperoni and hot honey. 🌶️🍯 We also tried the "#FFFFFF" white sauce pizza and added mushrooms. 🍄 Both tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the crust was the perfect crispy texture. 😋👌 There is no indoor seating at Bird Girl, so be prepared to take your pizza to go if it's a particularly chilly day. ❄️🍕 But definitely stop by if you love hard-to-find bottles and cans and excellent pizza. 🍻🍕 Oh, and the owners have a super cute love story too (see website)....
