In 1966, Louis Seretis purchased a small confectionary. He named it Orapax for the street upon which the front door opened. Longshoremen, railroad workers, and other locals came to play pool and purchase medicine, cigars, beer, and a "Poormans Sandwich", spam and cheese on white bread. In 1973 Louis replaced the sandwich with his own original Greek pizza. The result was truly astonishing! Orapax become known throughout Norfolk as "The Place to Eat". His son Nick joined him in the family business in 1982. Now some 50 years later Nicks’ daughter Nicole is walking in her father's and Grandfather's shoes. Orapax is their dining room. Welcome to our house!

The Scene
Lilting Greek music wafts from outdoor speakers beckoning would-be diners into the unpretentious neighborhood inn. Inside, against a wood-paneled backdrop, green ivy coils around Greek carpets hanging above simple… Read Full Editorial

EAT LIKE A GREEK ONCE A WEEK by JJarvis49 via Citysearch on 2/13/2009

Wow where to start, I had the best dining experence last friday night with myself and 7 other close friends here at Orapax. This is only the second time that I have eaten there and it just gets better every time. We started out the night…

Fool me once by buj3 via Citysearch on 1/27/2009

From start to end, not a good experience at all. Early Saturday evening and not so busy. The most apologetic waiter was slow, forgetful, and unaccomodating for the not-so-trivial (like waiting 15 minutes w/ empty drinks which also means…

Delicious Authentic Greek Dining by Elizabeth C via Insider Pages on 4/17/2008

My mouth is watering right now as I think about Orapax restaurant in West Ghent. I always get the Greek gyro pita, with either lamb or chicken, smothered in cucumber dill dressing. It is hard to beat, especially at such an affordable…

BEST PIZZA EVER! by rocky326 via Citysearch on 11/18/2006

My wife and myself have been going to the Orapax once a week for at least 15 years. We always get the medium or large double cheese pizza (we can't get off it!) and it's always delicious. Had about 12 friends in town, for about 4 days,…

WOWSER! by masterofthetelecaster via Citysearch on 3/31/2003

I just moved to the area, and went out to eat with longtime West Ghentiens Jim and Wendy Hazel at the Orapax. I had my heart set on stuffed grape leaves, that I first tasted at the base of the Acropolis in Athens. However, I was…

Greekalicious! by JohnSchertz via Citysearch on 1/14/2003

The food is absolutely out of this world! I can not fully describe how good it was other than you got to try it yourself. What makes the food even better is the ambience of the restaurant. Authentically Greek! Orapax Inn serves exquisite…

Orapax, Greece (tastes like it) by James25 via Citysearch on 10/26/2002

Tried something besides gyros. got Moushka with appetizer of dolomades. All dishes come with salad. House dressing very good. Moushka under crust good. Setting has Greece rugs on ceiling.

Awesome by robrueff via Citysearch on 7/19/2002

Orapax Inn has an awesome atmosphere and even more awesome pizza!!! The service has always been excellent!!! They even offer delivery in case you are working late at the office or are just feeling lazy.

We travel 3 hours for Orapax! by yogagirl via Citysearch on 6/27/2002

The Chicken Souvlaki is fabulous!!!! The homey decor is relaxing and our server has been pleasant and helpful at each visit. Even though there is always a line at dinner, people seem happy and okay with waiting.
