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.
