For a walk down memory lane, visit Richmond, Food for Thought for a nostalgic review of the Italian Kitchen at 8115 West Broad Street. Personally, I was happy to read the review for two reasons. One, I’d never eaten there, and two, apparently they have great pizza and a family atmosphere. I’d rather spend my money almost any day at a locally owned business rather than a chain, so this is good news.

This is arguably the best pizza in Richmond and is definitely in the top three and it amazes me how many people in the near West End have no idea that such fabulous pizza is a short drive away. Very thin crust, amble sauce to the edge, great toppings and some of the best mozzarella around make for a great pie. Reheated in a hot, dry skillet it did not suffer from it’s short time in the refrigerator.
