Rumor Mill, Pizza Place on Morris
So I keep hearing more and more things through the grapevine about a mysterious pizza place opening up across the street from Crossroads in the Fan. As more details trickle in, I become more intrigued. Get this.
A girl I know met the dudes at Crossroads. Apparently they are older gentlemen from New York, or at least with said accent. She told me they’d be making “nepalese lava pizza.” What the hell is that? A Google search didn’t yield any worthwhile results other than a sketchy Chinese grill that cooks with lava rock.
Lava rock oven pizza? That sounds more realistic. Anyways, the place is supposed to open on Morris St. where Cuppa Tea Co. used to be. That sounds a bit more legit.

What is a New York accent?
I don’t know about lava rock pizza, but I would kill for some bonafide wood-fired oven pizza in Richmond. Well, a downtown restaurant is coming to the rescue. Billy of Aziza (previously of Billy Bread) is building an addtion on his 21st and E. Main St restaurant. The whole purpose is to add on a wood-fired oven for baking PIZZA and bread. From what I know, this will be the only commercial wood-fired pizza oven in the city (the others are gas augmented). He plans to start serving the old-school pies in February. How about you guys take this story and run with it. Billy would appreciate the buzz. He makes damn good food already.
Sorry. New York dialect. I won’t make that mistake again.
I think I was tipsy when I wrote that last comment. I totally know what a New York accent sounds like. Of course, it’s a stereotype (Italian, right?), since there’s so many elasticities and dialects being spoken up there. Sorry to be so dense.
On the topic of pizza, I think RVA did have a real wood fired oven for a while there. Sven Shine Inn, under the Lost Sock used to serve the most amazing (but tiny) crispy baked pizzas (2001?). Then, there was Crusty’s Pizza after Sven’s. Not sure if they continued with the wood oven.
By the way, every time I go back to Capriccio’s and inhale a $1.85 slice of the most heavenly plain cheese pizza, I think “when are the RVA pizza bloggers going to get on this?” Your readers are waiting.
