Small-format pizza shop aims for takeout crowd in Henrico’s West End
A familiar name in Richmond baking circles is bringing pizza back to the region. Billy Fallen, known locally for his bakery work, announced he will reopen his pizza concept Billy Pie later this month in the Tuckahoe Shopping Center on Ridge Road in Henrico’s West End.
The new location will be compact — just over 700 square feet — and laid out for quick orders. Seating will be limited to eight bar stools and one four-top table, with the possibility of outdoor seating if space and permits allow. Fallen told the CBS 6 food podcast "Eat It Virginia" that he expects most business to be takeout.
"Hopefully, most of it'll be going out the door,"
Fallen also emphasized ingredient quality and supply advantages from his wholesale operations. He said buying power now lets him purchase large quantities — he gave the example of entire crops of tomatoes sourced from Italy — which he believes will help maintain consistency year-round.
- Location: Tuckahoe Shopping Center, Ridge Road, Henrico (West End)
- Size: just over 700 sq. ft.
- Seating: 8 bar stools and one four-top table; potential outdoor seating
- Service model: primarily takeout, per Fallen's comments
Those who want to hear Fallen’s full remarks can find the conversation on the "Eat It Virginia" podcast with hosts Scott and Robey. The interview is available on YouTube, Spotify and through the CBS 6 streaming channel on Roku and Apple TV.

This move brings Billy Pie back into the Richmond area food mix in a small, neighborhood-focused format. For diners who have followed Fallen's work, the return means a chance to pick up pizzas built around the same ingredient standards he described on the podcast. For the Tuckahoe Shopping Center and nearby Ridge Road businesses, Billy Pie’s opening could add foot traffic and quick-service dining options to the West End corridor.
More details on the exact opening date and menu were not disclosed in the podcast announcement; Fallen said the Ridge Road shop will open "later this month." Local customers looking for updates should check the "Eat It Virginia" episode or the shop's forthcoming announcements through local media and social channels.
