Wait for a walk-in pizza order was also about 20 minutes on a weeknight. |

Out in the Richmond fog, there is a pizza joint unlike any other. When the term "pizza joint" is said, it tends to conjure up images of sweaty men in white aprons tossing pizza dough in the air while other apron wearers dig their hands and long spoons into tubs of pepperoni and tomato sauce.
