Pizza restaurants are common here in Virginia, but they're not all created equally. Some focus on speed, others on generous portions, and some prioritize quality above all else. It's a rare pizzeria that offers all three, but Pi-Napo seems to hit that mark. My family and I visited this new restaurant in the Fry Springs neighborhood of Charlottesville recently and were impressed on every level.

Parking at Pi-Napo was a little tricky; there's a dedicated lot, but it fills up quickly. Luckily, they've designated some spots at the gas station just across the street so that's where we parked. On a Friday evening around 5:00 p.m., there wasn't much of a line, but it was already bustling—a good sign. The inside was spacious, airy, and inviting.
