12 Best Pizza Restaurants near Richmond

“This is the second time I've eaten at one of these pizza places and it's been very good. Not your traditional Pizza, more artisanal Pizza, but enjoyed it greatly. I can see this place getting busy in the summer where the outside dining and beer garden. It's perfect for the small town and I'm sure they get a lot of business. My understanding is there's one of these and a lot of us small towns around here and they've really figured out a good way to market it. I could see myself going back to this place several times. Not the best pizza I've ever had but it's a great place to hang out with people.“

“Get the homemade spinach artichoke dip. You won’t be sorry!“

“Matt and I have been to Hoagies in Essex a few times as of late and have had the best experience. The servers are amazing, the quality of food is consistent and tasty and we always feel welcome. If you’re wanting quick, yummy eats look no further. Treat yourself to the house Italian dressing. It’s been my favorite since I was a little kid in the 90’s!“

“Love this place. New to the area and it’s only my 2nd time, but they are so fast and friendly, and the pie is amazing.“

“This was last week: My family decided to get some pizza at Folino’s after going to City Market. Because after getting some healthy things, we were down for some bad decisions. Folino’s Pizza next to a dispensary which honestly was probably their best move possible. The place was PACKED like sardines. (Which I had on pizza once and never again…. Why don’t we ever argue this? Why do people actually argue to the death about pineapple on pizza and NOT HAIRY FISH??? Why are we so divided on this?!) The menu was pretty interesting and easy to follow and we picked two pizzas and wings…. We sat down…. After we paid….. after we tipped, before service was done. I would soon be able to conclude why. You can literally pick a seat anywhere and get a nice glass of water from cups that had seen better days and worse mouths. Next to the garbages…. Next to where you pick your silverware…. My son helped her restock the water. Totally fine. And then we saw…. The utensil/sauce station. Well…. It was PACKED. Garlic, parmesan, salt, pepper, hot sauce, pepper flakes. Some empty, others at various stages of full and honestly take your pick. We got one of each. Went through silverware and it was like a treasure hunt! Some had old food and stains on them and I got to see what popular picks were at this place:-) I think we made the right picks!!! While I like leftovers at home, these were not the leftovers I had a hankering for… decided to pick else wear and found some that were clean clean. Again this place is packed! Line going out the door( to be fair there may have been a few who got mixed up with the Jazz Lettuce place next door). The food sounded/smelled so delicious. We were already hungry and down for some wildfire awesomeness…. And now, we wait….. and wait…. And wait some more. Did…. Did they forget about us? I see some people eating, some people who look famished and well we decided to shoot our shot and ask people how long they had been waiting/if they ordered. Yes. Just yes. The line is moving and fast. I went to their website to see if it was like Disney with the fast passes or something… I can’t even begin to tell you how bummed I am writing that “no” here. After like an hour the wings came out. And I swear to God, with seasoning wings, these kids understood the assignment. However taking a bit of the wing, the chicken fought back. The chicken skin was….. oh God, a good vet could have saved it... a while later, the Buff Chick came out and oh sweet mother of God those candied jalapeños are just the bees knees…then they bought out The Vegan Supreme…. No onions…. And she made a point to say, no onions…. So I knew immediately, there was onions somewhere… which is just fine. My mouth just tingles and gets kinda itchy. Aside from that lil fun fact about me….. those pizzas were amazing and the crust is just what you’d want. And despite a crowded kitchen with no hair nets and loose styles everywhere, there was little to no hair in the food! The pizza is definitely worth buying just not the wait unless you have the afternoon and no perishable groceries in your car (City Market) to waste…. My guess with the line out the door, they preordered online within a couple hours getting there. My husband loved that we tipped to have the home experience and got to not only wait on ourselves and clean up after our selves, he also loved that he was able to clean the table off from the previous people and the bundle of pizza tray holders from them as well. My son loved that he found a wing order he didn’t want to touch at all. If you have an afternoon to waste by the water cooler and tables with an awesome pizza sheen on it… get here faster then they open. You won’t be disappointed with disappointment. Buttttt, (and this is a big but here) if you want some awesome pizza with awesome flavor and amazing crust, definitely get it here. Just order online. Get all your chores and shopping done… maybe make time for a movie. After all that, it might be ready and you too can be in the line out the door…. Looking at all the people in the dining area like you dodg“

“It was an absolutely pleasurable experience. Some of the best pizza that I have had in a long time. Great environment, great service, will definitely go back. Highly suggest it to anyone looking to get out for an evening for good times and good vibes! 10/10“

“I had their pizza and garlic knots and the oh-so-tasty marinara a few years ago and I absolutely hope to visit again someday! would love like a gallon of that marinara!! so good!“

“We just had a great visit here personally! We had some slices in and then ordered a white pie to go. Place was busy with take out and as resident NYC gal I can see why. Will be back every Sat! Had my son with autism order for us to practice and the staff member working register was so cool about it. We appreciate that giys!“

“Great food, friendly service, very reasonable prices. That's what keeps me coming to Papa Nick's, usually once a week (more often in the summer). And I have to drive over the mountain from Fayston to do so. I love this place--Voula does a fantastic job. I just wish they could some day go back to having their Greek Nights on Thursdays. (They do have occasional Greek entrees but it's just not as predictable as it was before the pandemic. Then again, nothing is...) Highly recommended!“

“After recently moving back to Vermont, I order from this specific Domino’s Pizza as it used to be my go to. Come to find a nice surprise to see Justin back at this location again. I used to go to this specific Dominos just because of Justin’s customer service. He always greets customers with a big smile and is always courteous. It’s rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work and goes the extra mile to make sure customers are satisfied. Thank you Justin!“

“I ordered 2 medium pepperoni pizzas. I’ve NEVER got a basic pepperoni pizza with this much pepperoni! It was a beautiful thing to see not one BUT two pizzas cooked to perfection with a decent amount of its topping! I always get fast delivery as well and the one time it was expected to be late I received a call stating there was a possibility of a late delivery-it arrived on time. 😊 5 Stars to the Essex Location.“
