Top notch. An excellent place for pinball. Lots of new Sterns, and all games are set to 50 cents, except one EM machine set at 25 cents - a great deal! Also an excellent place for NY-style pizza. As a native New Yorker and pizza snob of the highest order, I can tell you they have the best NY-style pizza anywhere in the area.
This place is excellent. Games aren’t overpriced and either is the food. The pizza is superb and served in huge slices. Always stop by here when we are in town.
This is awesome pizza worth enjoying over and above the pinball.
Love this place! pizza, pinball and jukebox. Like the dude that made the pizza as well. Good guy
Pinball, pizza, and pure organic ice-cream. Best of all, a staff that enjoys serving you! What's not to love?
Never been, but how could a place with a name like VUK be anything other than 5 stars. ;)
Best pizza i ate since i moved here almost 2 years ago. It has lots of cheese and meat. I loved the music. Also, ice cream is great. I definitely will go back.
Best pizza in town. Great staff and fun place to play video games.
We really had a blast and the people working there were fun, helpful and laid back. Loved it, will be coming back for sure!
Best kept secret in Bethesda... Awesome,place to go and,just get away and play pinball and have really good �
Pinball and pizza (and beer). Nothing better.
Place is one of a kind in this area, great for kids, and great pizza

It's a secret hot spot that should be yelled from the roof tops.....
NY style pizza and tons of pinball machines!!! Super friendly staff. I love it!! The slices are big and the crust is lite and a just a tiny bit crisp - real nice! I’m getting a kick out of all the kids playing pinball. Bells ringing, lights flashing! It’s a great environment. And they have some outdoor seating in a little private courtyard so that’s a bonus. This place is great!!
However, apparently Bethesda charges for parking after 6PM with no real clear signage for us folks from out of town. I have a $45 ticket as a result. So put some money in that meter!!
Great place to relive childhood arcade memories. Small game room has 10-12 pinball machines dating from 1977 to new. Cost is reasonable at 50 cents per play. My review does not include the pizza. We only played games.
Old School Pinball prices and machines. The beer is cold and the Pizza is as good as a New York slice. I would hang out here and it would be all good. I would even just chill with my friends.
A great laid-back pizza parlor. I love playing pinball and this is one of the best places to play! Games are in great condition and most are recent. I just wish that I lived closer. I don't eat the pizza, but my friends tell me it's great - and they give huge slices. I am trying to get them to offer cut up raw veggies but I haven't been successful at doing that. Staff (often just one person) are great also.
Recommend this pizza place. Good food, great prices and staff is good. Plenty of choices not he menu to satisfy different preferences. When this place is open for inside seating the pinball machines are classic. Great vibe and good food.
A pinball joint is a rarity today. My 7 year old son loves to come and play this old school game, and it keeps that connection to the past. This isn't some massive arcade place. About a dozen pinball machines and a few old arcade classics. It doesn't hurt that it's right next to my friend Chef Tony's awesome restaurant.
This was my first time there, and I've found a new local favorite that I'm bringing my family back to! It's a cool little place with a wall stacked with pinball machines. Kinda of an old-school vibe throughout the place, like your favorite local pizza place from 20 or 30nyears ago. Anyway, the place is pretty cool. So I had to try the pizza. And it was delicious! If you like NY style, you have to try this pizza! It's making my mouth water just thinking about it! I'll be back!
Fun spot for pinball and beer. Can't say anything about the food.
I wish there were better vegan options. I'd happily give them 5 stars if they had a decent dairy-free pie or carried some plant-based meats. With &Pizza and a few other joints around, it makes it hard to go here for the pizza. But the pinball collection is great and it's nice to have a value-priced beer while you're there.
Some of the best pizza in Montgomery County. Really does taste like New York York pizza, although not as greasy, which I think is a positive. Also has about a dozen pinball machines, which is pretty awesome, although they make it a noisy place. Not the place to go if looking for a quiet place. Highly recommended for its pizza. Not to be missed.
The most fun place in Bethesda, without question, and an unmissable attraction. The pizza is great--the white pizza is actually some of the best I've ever had, perfectly balanced, cooked, and richly flavorful. The selection of sodas is also great, and I have VUK to thank for introducing me to Reed's Ginger Beer. Of course, the pinball machines are the highlight of any trip here. There's a great selection and they're all immaculately well maintained in my experience. Great service--the people manning the counter are always personable and chill. And overall, there's a fantastic metal aesthetic to the whole place. Probably the coolest little joint in Bethesda. If you haven't been, you're missing out!
Do not pass on this place! Great place to hang, play a few rounds of pinball (or hours with like me lol), and you have to get a slice of pizza...so good! The folks who visit this place are pretty cool too! Everyone is always so nice and everyone is just there to have some fun!! Scott, the owner, collects pinball machines (pretty awesome ones I might add!) and I'm happy to report his habit supports my Sunday habit of playing pinball!
So the best thing here is the pinball. They have a great lineup of machines including some 2015/16 releases. The pizza is passable, but nothing special. The staff are always friendly too. Overall though the place is fun. It hearkens back to the 80's and you can totally recreate your twelfth birthday party here.
Best New York-style pizza in Bethesda. But it's a pinball place! So get it to go (or use an app to get delivery if you're patient). Pizzas are one size -- enormous -- and the cheese pizza is only $14. Tastes great when you're eating it, but must be salty because I'm thirsty afterward (more than usual for pizza). Love it!
Great pinball. Top notch games. Pizza is also very good. Decent local bottle selection for ~$4 a bottle. Can get crowded when the pinball league is running (Sunday evenings). Closed on Mondays. Outdoor seating available.
Retro, geeky, delicious, cheap, kid friendly, good service. This place is amazing.
They have step stools for children, a pinball leader board, and a cool decor. I just wish my 3 year old was a touch older so she'd appreciate the games a little bit more and stay longer.... We both loved the pizza so it worked out just fine!
The St Elmo parking garage was across the street so getting in and out was easy as Bethesda can be.
Ahh, Pizza and Pinball, what a combo. This place is small, the tables can be wobbly, and they're closed Mondays. But in spite of that, it's a great place to grab a slice of good pizza and play pinball on the variety of machines they have there. For a pinball and pizza joint, I give it 5 stars. The pizza is way better than you might expect, and I believe it's some of the best in Bethesda.
Great collection of pinball machines, the most I've seen in a while. 8 or 9 contemporary ones, one 1970's vintage model, and a couple of video games, at the time of this writing. I wouldn't go there just for the pizza, but it is acceptable. What seems a bit of a hole in the wall at first is actually a hidden treasure for pinball enthusiasts. Thanks to the owner of Mom's Organic Market for having the vision and passion to open and support this place.
Excellent NY style pizza, and amazing soft serve ice cream. I love going here for a pie, and playing a few games of pinball while I wait. If you're OK with not having a million toppings to choose from, this place is worth a shot. The staff and owners are great.
