RIP Mr. Bob Crum

We want to extend our condolences to the Crozet Pizza family. The founder, Mr. Bob Crum, passed away on May 5, 2015.

Please stop by for a slice this month and lift up a grieving pizza community that has nourished us for years.

Mr. Crum was a pioneer in small business long before "buy local" was a buzzword and a hashtag. The Crums brought National accolades to our sweet little Crozet with their delicious pizza and generations of families are eating the same exact recipe today.

When Crozet Pizza opened in 1977, it had just 5 tables, all handmade by Mr. Crum. Mrs. Crum perfected the dough, Mr. Crum perfected the sauce and he made every single pizza by hand for 31 years.

Together the Crums created a culture around Crozet Pizza that we know, love, and very much appreciate today. Please join us as we offer support, kindness, prayers, and a fondness for what Mr. Crum created in our community. Their daughter  - Colleen Alexander - and her family have been running the restaurant (and their sister location on the UVA Corner) since 2004. Read his obituary HERE.
