On one of our recent ventures to the mountains, we stopped at Crozet Pizza for dinner. I had seen an article on Facebook about the spot indicating that it is the best pizza in the state. We walked in and received a warm greeting. Our server, unfortunately, was not as friendly. Service was adequate, but we did not get the impression that we were welcome.
I love beer cheese and tend to get it anytime I find it on a menu. Of course, when I saw House-Made Beer Cheese with Local Lager on the menu I had to order it. The cheese comes with Bavarian pretzel sticks. The pretzels were soft and had a great flavor, but the cheese was absolutely the star of the dish. It was creamy and rich with a nice, underlying beer flavor.
It was difficult to decide which pizza we wanted, so we went with a half and half. On one half, we ordered the Buddhist Pie, a white base with sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper, feta, and basil. We added Italian sausage to it as well. On the other half, we ordered the Cheeseburger Pie, with ground beef, cheddar, bacon, and onion. The pizza was a massive 16-inch pie on a thin crust. It lived up to the hype. Not only was it absolutely delicious, but, somehow, it was even better when we reheated the leftovers the next day. I am hard-pressed to say which half I preferred, but if pushed I would ever so slightly lean toward the Buddhist Pie side. I really enjoyed the contrast of flavor between the rich sausage and the bright, freshness from the tomatoes. The crust had a wonderful crispy, yet buttery texture.
Cost for a beer, a shot, a cocktail, an appetizer, and a pizza $60.12.
