Crozet Pizza

Crozet Pizza has been a beloved institution in the small town of Crozet, Virginia since 1977, when Bob and Karen Crum and their four children transformed an abandoned building into a cozy five-table pizzeria. Today, the restaurant carries forward an incredible legacy of handmade, from-scratch pizza that has earned national acclaim, including being crowned "Best in the World" by National Geographic Magazine. The secret lies in their legendary 3-day dough-making process, which begins each morning at 4 AM and continues until 10 AM to ensure every pizza receives the perfect handcrafted foundation. The original Crozet Pizza dough recipe, perfected by Karen Crum before the restaurant opened, remains unchanged and is still made fresh daily at both locations. For 31 years, Mr. Crum personally handmade every single pizza served, one by one, building a reputation that drew customers to order days in advance. The menu features gourmet pizzas, fresh salads, and delicious burgers, complemented by a full bar offering strong drinks. Private events at Crozet Pizza promise good eats, strong drinks, and a rockin' good time with dedicated event staff. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with late-night service on Fridays and Saturdays until 11:30 PM. This iconic establishment has also garnered attention from Food Network, Fodor's, and The Washington Post, cementing its status as a must-visit destination in Virginia's Blue Ridge.
