General Info
We are fully open for dine in, take out, and delivery!! 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!

Provided by YP.comNow I've only ate Grrk food a few times, and dont have a real broad experience for comparison, but this is how I would imagine authentic greek food to taste. The food here was wonderful. As was the atmosphere. The setting is casual and very open, but you still feel some privacy. The staff is pleasant, but could do a little bit more to check on their table more frequently. We sometimes had long waits before getting our waters attention, and the place wasn't that busy. That would be the only negative comment. Well that, and parking. Because there pretty much isn't any. (Better take you walking shoes.) But, once inside, alls well. There is even some entertainment provided in the form of a belly dancer, which added a nice touch. (even though my girlfriend and her mother probably didnt enjoy it as much as her father and I...) I highly recommend an appetizer called _______ (struggled with the language). But, it is cheese that is breaded and set aflame at your table, so if you wear a lot of hairspray, please stay back. Very tasty.
