Emmy Squared Pizza Opens in Richmond: A New Culinary Destination
On May 28, 2025, Emmy Squared Pizza officially opened its doors at 2225 Old Brick Road in Glen Allen, Richmond. This renowned eatery is celebrated for its crispy-bottomed Detroit-style pizza, which combines a unique texture and flavor profile that captures the essence of its Brooklyn roots.
To celebrate its arrival, a grand opening event is scheduled for June 21, promising an exciting atmosphere filled with local flair. The event, occurring from 12 to 2 p.m., will feature live performances from students of the School of Rock, an opportunity to savor specialty cocktails and mocktails by Spirits of Alchemy, and enticing giveaways that include free food. The first 25 patrons in line will be rewarded with a year's supply of free pizza, highlighting the store's commitment to its new community.
Emmy Squared Pizza is not just about the pizza; it's an experience designed for food lovers and social diners. The menu encourages exploration and sharing, boasting a variety of dishes that aim to elevate dining above the ordinary. Signature items like the famous CLe Big MattE burger feature double-stacked beef patties, American cheese, and a secret sauce that has won the hearts of many. Accompanying the pizzas are offerings such as waffle fries drizzled with a special comeback sauce.
In the words of CEO Troy Tracy, "Richmond is the kind of city that understands flavor, craft, and community. Short Pump gives us the opportunity to connect with people who value bold food and good energy. We're excited to bring our signature pizzas and Brooklyn soul to the neighborhood." This ethos is reflected in their approach to sourcing quality ingredients, which contributes to the overall vibrant dining experience.
With its Glen Allen outlet, Emmy Squared Pizza expands its horizons, following recent openings in Las Vegas and Charlottesville and a forthcoming location in Greenwich, CT. This expansion marks a turning point for the brand, showcasing its commitment to becoming a go-to destination for culinary enthusiasts, rather than just a casual pizza stop.
At Emmy Squared, pizzas are crafted using small-batch dough made fresh daily and innovative house-made sauces. Guests can expect the signature racing-stripe sauce which has become iconic, transforming each bite into a delightful symphony of flavors. The selection encourages a social dining atmosphere where sharing is a key ingredient in the overall experience.
Richmond's launch not only signifies Emmy Squared's growth across the United States, but it also emphasizes its intention to make a significant impact in the local food scene. With an engaging menu that transitions from classic offerings to seasonal specials, each item celebrates the culinary creativity that the Emmy Squared brand embodies.
As food lovers in Richmond gear up for the grand opening, the excitement is palpable. From live music to exclusive tastings, the day promises to be filled with good food, good company, and a vibrant community spirit. With over 29 locations nationwide, Emmy Squared Pizza is well on its way to establishing itself as both a beloved brand and a hallmark of innovative dining experiences.
