Christian's Pizza - Charlottesville

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to leave one from earlier. (I only wish I had taken a few photos of the emptiest pizza place I have yet experienced)…I’ve been to Christian‘s Pizza in Richmond many times and it’s been very good. I myself co-own an Italian pizza restaurant in Richmond’s West End, So I know how important first impressions are, having grown up in New York and learning from the best. Earlier, I was in Charlottesville on business and figured I would pick something up and bring it back home since I live in the far West End of RVA. The reason I did not leave a review for the food is that I didn’t get any! I walked inside the restaurant, and there was absolutely nobody behind the counter or inside. I thought it was odd, so I decided to go wash my hands, and certainly there would be somebody when I came out. When I came out, there was still nobody in the entire place, and there were not even any pizzas on the shelves where they should’ve been. Absolutely nothing! No staff, No food! Nothing… it was not as if they were closed yet I came in nearly an hour before closing time. Therefore, I left without purchasing anything…. I would think that the owner would want to have more pride in his establishment, then to allow employees and management to be so sloppy! Like I said, the Christian‘s Pizza establishment in Richmond is phenomenal for a late night bite to eat. But the location in Charlottesville? Obviously needs a staffing overhaul!!

Delicious spinach and ricotta cheese! Crust has the crunch and flavor. Great pizza!

Pizza crust was too done even before the retoasting. BUT the surprise is the attitude of the one man show who runs the whole place. He bragged how he hates the other location and its workers. He was a jerk to us and then our other party showed up and I just watched to see if it was me. They turned towards us in astonishment. Loud and obnoxious, good strategy

Pizza tastes ok, but is very clearly not fresh. Whenever I go here, there's barely any customers, so the pizza's left sitting out cold for a long time. The downtown location is much better imo.

Incredible pizzas and fast service, plus right off 64 on exit 120 bing bam boom!!!
