Bodacious Bake House, Virginia Beach

At Bodacious Bakehouse, both the sweet- and savory-toothed folks receive their own portion of pampering. This is because the place functions as a cafe and restaurant, spinning a plethora of upscale Italian favorites, whose smells always pleasantly waft through the air, tingling the senses. Rolling and tossing a fresh dough made from a blend of flour imported from Italy, its chefs create Neapolitan-style, brick-oven pizza sprinkled with a garlic-infused extra virgin oil blend, smothered in signature tomato sauce, and topped with tasty ingredients—think fresh spinach, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, onions, feta, mozzarella, and parmesan. They also fold that dough to form a calzone or spend their time chopping and mixing fresh vegetables to create colorful, beautiful, and nutrient-rich salads. As far as the desserts are concerned, they deliver giant cinnamon buns, pecan rolls, as well as French toasts layered with creamy mascarpone—but that's only to name a few.
