Pizzeria Portofino

You'll find yourself on The Square in Richmond, watching the dinner crowd build around wooden tables as the kitchen works the wood-fired oven. This is the kind of place where you sit elbow-to-elbow with families, couples, and groups of mates all wanting the same thing: honest, well-made pizza without any fuss. The menu sticks to what matters—quality dough, proper toppings, good Italian wine—and they're clearly not interested in reinventing the wheel. Expect queues on weekends and zero reservation drama; it's first-come, first-served charm that keeps people coming back.
