“I just loved Richmond Street.”
Mike Parsell · Owner, Pizza Richmond


3136 Richmond Street
An old-fashioned pizza parlor in a century-old building.
In the early 2000s, Mike Parsell rode up and down Richmond Street as a bike messenger. His Fishtown development company, A Frame Constructs, is behind Sally, Martha and Pizza Shackamaxon, the slice shop in Pizzeria Beddia’s original home on Girard Avenue. Shackamaxon’s small kitchen couldn’t bake enough pizza to meet demand, so Parsell and his partners Bob Shaw and Cary Borish spent about four years on a second shop. Pizza Richmond opened on January 12, 2024, with the same thin, charred pies, 20 seats and a brick front that still carries the sign of the furniture store that owned the building in 1906.
“I also want the service and the food and everything to have a nostalgic vibe.”Mike Parsell, to PhillyVoice, 2024

The menu
Slices & whole pies.
Thin, well-charred pies by the slice or whole, in 16 and 20 inches: plain, pepperoni, a classic white, a thick, airy tomato pie and a special that changes every week. Top a slice with house-made crushed red pepper or lemon-basil whipped ricotta, then add a salad and soft serve. Whole tomato pies take a day’s notice.

The red
PlainCheese and a savory red sauce on a thin, charred crust
The white
Classic whiteRicotta, black pepper and whole cloves of roasted garlic
A new one every week
SpecialsLike spinach, onion and spinach cream on a white pie
