New developments
A change is gonna come to the Downtown Mudhouse. The java spot—best in town, according to readers—shut its doors for an estimated three weeks to give the space a makeover. Says Julia Minnerly of the Crozet shop, the red wall behind the bar will be removed to open things up. “A big goal,” she says, “was to be able to interact more with the customers.”
Formworks Architecture is heading up the redesign. Minnerly says they’ll reopen at the end of the month. Until then, grab your joe from the Mudhouse cart parked on the Mall.
Pizza me
Adding to an already robust list of accolades from national media, Crozet Pizza gains recognition in the September issue of Food Network Magazine. The grub rag named CP’s white mushroom pie the best in the state in its “50 States, 50 Pizzas” feature. The 34-year-old ’za joint has also been recognized in National Geographic, The Washington Post and Fodor’s Travel Guide.
