The Culture of 'Za

Happy National Pizza Day! Every February 9th the world celebrates their visions of bubbling cheese; baked veggies and sliced; diced & crumbled meats in sizzling pie fashion, sometimes overflowing with sauce (AKA a blood pie); sometimes rolled; and sometimes on bagels (it's also National Bagel Day, btw). The fanaticism pizza breeds knows not the boundaries of time or place! I also like to think that National Pizza Day brings the nerdiest of food nerds out to eat: the late-night programmers and engineers, the passionate pizzaiolos and pizzaiolas, the Ninja Turtles.

​Today I'm thinking about Crozet Pizza located in the small town of Crozet near Charlottesville, Virginia. If this pizzeria isn't a palace for the gods, it's certainly a boutique hotel. What I mean is their pizza is GOOD and their 90's music selection made me feel like a kid again. Do you see that half Buddhist, half Greek sans olive pie up top? This place was on my "to-eat" list for nearly two years before I sunk my teeth into this baby, and now I'm hooked. There's just one problem: the hour drive from Richmond to Crozet. In our conversation that day, the owner mentioned he'd be interested in a Richmond location. I told him I'd like to be his first customer. My fingers are crossed.

Whatever your preference, I hope you try something local or wood-fired today. If you know a great place I should check out, leave a comment! Remember, a slice a day keeps the blues at bay.
