Downtown Richmond · on the Canal Walk

The finest pizza and sandwiches downtown.

Pies made with real char, sandwiches prepared on schiacciata bread – baked fresh every morning, and a spritz if you're staying. Right on the river inside the Padel Plant.

What we do

Downtown's finest. Two ways.

We keep our menu short on purpose. It lets us hold every pie and sandwich to the highest standard, and you can taste it in every bite.

Smokestack pie with cupped pepperoni and basil

The pizza

Thin and crisp with a charred, chewy edge. Imported Italian flour, real mozzarella, and every pie finished with Pecorino Romano and olive oil. Whole pies all day, plus slices at the counter weekdays from 11 am to 5 pm.

Italian sandwich on house schiacciata

The sandwiches

Built on schiacciata, the Tuscan flatbread we bake here every morning. Crisp outside, airy inside and stacked with good Italian meats and cheeses. The bread alone is worth the trip.

Why it's better

Good flour. Real bread.

Everything starts with the dough, so we don't cut corners on it.

Saucing and topping a fresh-stretched pie in the kitchen
  • Imported Italian flour

    Bromate-free, milled in Italy. It makes a lighter crust and a dough that's easier on you.

  • Schiacciata, baked daily

    Our schiacciata comes out of the oven every morning. Every sandwich we make is on bread we made.

  • The good stuff on top

    Prosciutto di Parma, fresh stracciatella, Pecorino Romano, Cirrus vodka sauce, AR's Hot Honey.

  • Made in house

    Dressings, croutons, candied bacon, hot honey. If we can make it ourselves, we do.

A note on gluten. Our pizza and sandwiches aren't gluten-free, but most gluten-intolerant guests have no problems with them, thanks to our imported Italian flour. If you have celiac disease, our dough and bread are not safe for you.
