Welcome

THANK YOU Richmond for voting Apollo Pizza the number one place for pizza in the Richmond Register.  As the only pizza place in Richmond that is not a corporate chain pizza place but rather a local pizza place, we are pleased to be Richmond's own.  We have customers that have been enjoying our food for 5, 10, 15 even 20 years and we can't thank you enough!

About Us

Locally owned and operated for over 25 years, we have been serving EKU Campus and the City of Richmond with an emphasis on freshness of highest quality ingredients preparing enormous portions with experience and care.  

Quality

We reach near and far to get the best ingredients at Apollo.  Our Italian Sausage is bought in raw bulk from the fine folks at Fontanini in Chicago, while our tomatoes are bought from a local farmer.  We cut no corners in the purity of our ingredients  or in the steps preparing them.  Like our sausage, our ground beef and chicken are seasoned, cooked and chopped in our store.  Our bacon is actual bacon slices,  unlike the bacon flavored bits that are standard in most other places.  Our pizza sauce consists of crushed tomatoes, lots of garlic and a virtual tour through the Mediterranean spice route.  Much of our produce such as lettuce, tomatoes and spinach are bought locally from small businesses and chopped for consumption daily.  Absolutely NEVER will we bring in pre-chopped, treated and bagged produce to save time.  Our Cheeses; Mozzarella, Provolone, Swiss, Smoked Muenster, Parmesan, and Sharp Cheddar are 100% real and 100% whole milk.  Last but not least, our quality is no better tasted than in our loyalty to fresh made dough.  Frozen dough is a lousy shortcut and sadly prevalent in most pizza places, particularly chain establishments.  Apollo Pizza dough is made with flour, salt, sugar, olive oil and yeast which is slowly mixed cold, then shaped by hand.  It is aged about 50 hours, cold, so that the yeast causes it to rise slowly.  When the time is right, it is ready to be hand tossed immediatly (when ordered) to create a fluffy and crisp pizza crust or garlic bread.

Quantity

Every since I can remember, it's always made sense when cooking, that if care and time were to be invested in making a dish, you might as well make plenty of it.  Hence, our specialty salads, pastas, and pizzas are hefty layers of goodness. Both Apollo's salads and our pastas are often either shared or made into two meals.  Our pizzas are itemized much heavier than the chain pizza places.  Nobody else in Richmond has the 20 inch Wagon Wheel, which is our flagship for quality meeting quantity.  Apollo's "All the Way" Wagon Wheel is a local favorite that can't be topped.  Sporting 5 meats, 7 vegetables, extra cheese and weighing a full 7 pounds it will happily feed 8 to 10 people at a time.

Experience in Customer Satisfaction

Over the years our menu has evolved to include time honored recipes and well received experiments. We try to encompass  as much as possible without stretching ourselves thin. If you want something that you can't exactly find on the menu, as  long as we have the ingredients, we will always do our best to accommodate your desire. Apollo Pizza, within it's small staff, has over 50 years of kitchen experience.  That experience is reflected in our commitment to create GREAT food and our approach to true pizza as an art form.
