Our Story
A neighborhood pizzeria that stayed a neighborhood pizzeria.
Apollo opened its doors on South 2nd Street in 1981, a short walk from Eastern Kentucky University — handmade pizza, made the honest way. Forty-five years later it has never left, and it has never changed what matters: dough made by hand every single morning, and recipes that still taste like 1981.
Today Apollo is owned by Richmond locals — led by attorney and author Wesley Browne — who bought the pizzeria to keep a beloved institution exactly what it has always been. Same dough. Same recipes. More places to find it.
“We wanted to keep the life, legacy and pride of the original Apollo going.”
