If you’re in Richmond, KY and in dire need of the best pizza in town, fear not. This city is filled with incredible pizzerias, and at Gates Hyundai, we can recommend several excellent options to satisfy your craving.

1. Apollo Pizza & Beer Emporium

Located at 228 S 2nd St, Apollo Pizza & Beer Emporium has been renowned in Central Kentucky as the top spot for pizza since 1981. It’s so good that readers of the Richmond Register have voted it as the best pizzeria in Madison County. Their menu is eclectic, and their selection of local craft beers is extensive. They even have a gluten-free beer, an “almost gluten-free” pizza crust, and a cauliflower crust available for customers with special dietary needs.

This establishment welcomes large groups and even has a private party room that seats over 50 guests. Everything on their menu is prepared by hand with the freshest ingredients, so this is the perfect spot for you to bring all your friends. After all, what combination is more classic than pizza with beer? Just remember to please drink responsibly with moderation and not to drink and drive.

2. Big City Pizza

At Big City Pizza, the motto is, “We love pizza,” and that fact shines in their delectable menu. Located at 1105 A, 1105 Kim Kent Dr, this pizzeria serves vintage-style handmade pizzas with high-quality, innovative ingredients. Open since 2014, they have extensive experience in food service and are quite popular within the community.

Their ever-changing menu has included inventive pizzas with toppings such as peaches and flaming hot Cheetos. Our favorite is their award-winning Tipsy Chicken pizza, which won 1st place in the Midwest at the Presto Pizza Competition in 2017. Featuring a base of beer cheese and topped with grilled chicken, bacon, mozzarella, and bourbon glaze, this pizza is an absolute delight to the senses. You are in for a treat when dining at this exquisite pizzeria.

3. Giovanni’s Pizza

Located at 805 Eastern Bypass #1, Giovanni’s Pizza is a casual Italian eatery that is perfect for a nice meal with coworkers, family, or friends. The menu features not only pizzas but also pasta, calzones, sandwiches, salads, wings, desserts, and a buffet, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.

You can individualize your pizza with their extensive list of toppings, or you can order one of their nine specialties. Our favorite is the Five Meat Treat, which is a masterpiece of hearty premium meats covered with mozzarella and & provolone cheese. This pie is perfect for fueling up before roadtripping in your 2023 IONIQ 5.

Each of these restaurants is best-in-class, so when that pizza craving hits, you can rest assured that it’ll be satisfied. Go out and have a great time. When you’re done, come visit us at Gates Hyundai to have a chat and check out our latest stock!
