Pizza Rating:
Crozet Pizza has been on our short list of places to review since we started this blog. We finally made the trip over our Christmas visit to Virginia. We were accompanied by Allie's little sister, Isabelle. The secret at Crozet Pizza is to only order the small or the medium pies. They use the same amount of dough for each size pie and if you order the large the crust is much thinner and more likely to be burnt. So we got a medium and chose spinach, tomato, and cherry peppers from their extensive toppings menu (which even includes peanuts!), and kept one half plain. I found the crust to be the best part of the pie; it was thin and crunchy yet still fluffy on the inside. Allie felt that the crust isn't as bubbly as it used to be and therefore not as good. (Another disappointing change is that they will no longer do 1/4 pizza toppings, which was always nice.) I thought that the peppers were too spicy and the crust got soggy rather qucikly. Overall Crozet Pizza scored so highly not due to quality of their pizza but because of the atmosphere and the memories associated with such an historic pizzeria.

I would just like to say: (1) I wish I were there. (2) This review does not make Crozet Pizza as great as it is. (3) I think you should mention that Muhammad Ali signed a photo of himself for Mr. Crum that says "Your pizzas are the greatest." (4) I love you!
You're right, the Muhammad Ali endorsement should not go unmentioned. However, Bob Crum did not make my pizza. I am also sorry you were not there!
