“Gourmet pizza at its best: pizzeria in Richmond, VA”
When you bite into our famous 12-hour crust, homemade sauces and huge selection of fresh toppings, you'll see why we win Best Pizza in Richmond year after year. Enjoy our fantastic outdoor seating with views of the trains in historic Shockoe Bottom... the atmosphere can't be beat. Whether you dine in, take out or call for delivery, there's no better place to eat in Richmond than Bottoms Up Pizza. Dirk Graham has always been a fan of pizza. During the 1980s, Dirk traveled around the city of Richmond and surrounding areas in hopes of finding a great pizza. Frustrated by his search, Dirk turned to his friend, Fabian Botto, a restauranteur, who was known for his quality cuisine. Fabian soon became Dirk’s mentor and taught him the secrets to making his specialty crust and sauces. In 1990, Dirk and his partner, Coalter Turpin, used those secrets to open a small pizza shop in historic Richmond. Word spread quickly about the delicious crust that takes over 12 hours to prepare. With a strong customer loyalty, the restaurant quickly outgrew its original location. In 1992, the pizza shop grew into a full-service family restaurant now known as the famous Richmond favorite, Bottoms Up Pizza. Dirk’s vision became true. Voted “Best Pizza” in Richmond year after year.
