A birdie lets us know that Brixx Pizza, the wood-fired pizza chain, could be making a home in Charlottesville in the Barracks Road shopping center. Be afraid Christian’s & Mellow!

I would be more than happy with this. The more pizza options, the better!
There are pizza options in this town?
thank god. there was a terrible dearth of pizza over there since superstar & casella’s closed.
I’m surprised to hear all this nay-saying about pizza options here.
Tip Top
Anna’s
Pizza Bella (plain pizzas are boring but specialty pizzas are very good)
All are good and affordable.
hey, *i* was talking about in barracks. i’m set for pizza in c’ville & its environs.
I should’ve replied to #2
Having moved here from Chapel Hill, I was coincidentally saying just LAST NITE that I wished we had Brixx here. I hope it becomes a reality!
This isn’t really new pizza it’s just replacing the missing pizza place of Barracks Road that the Thai place took over
I don’t like the extraneous “x” in the name. It tells me that you can’t spell, or perhaps you’re trying to divert attention away from the pizza. It doesn’t inspire confidence. Siiiiiiiips, anyone?
/don’t even get me started on folks that substitute Ks for Qs and Cs. “Korner”… “Kwik”
You must really hate porn.
not as bad as siips. i hate that place just because of the stupid extra i.
there are other reasons too.
but i lovvvvve paying $10 a glass for wine. to feel like i’m sitting in a model home
BYo, I should have clarified. Porn is absolutely the exception to both the K and multiple vowel rules.
Then you must be really okay with Finnish porn.
Who would be in to non-finish porn?
hahahahaha… nice one D!
ûmlat porn? oh. scary
that is a better name than siips.
the I-95 outlets have “kiddie kruiser korners” or some such. wtf.
Barracks Road continues to serve the local industry by booting local biz for national biz.
Book Cellar kicked for Barnes and Noble.
The Bread Store for Panera.
Casellas for Brixx.
But I have to hand this to them, the place is a whole lot better than 20 years ago.
True danpri. And did you hear that they’re jacking HotCakes’ rent up by a third, while commercial rents overall in Cville remain stagnant or are dropping? It sucks because Lisa and Keith have made so many improvements to their place. Federated Realty lusts after the chains while showing contempt for their longterm local tenants.
the owners of skyline cleaners (in the north wing) were just telling me this weekend how dismissive of the smaller, local shops federated realty is.
their a/c has been broken for weeks and since fed realty is based out of maryland, they have largely ignored the problem.
yeah, that’s what it sounded like. although a/c in virginia humidity doesn’t sound like much of a perk; more like a standard. it was at least 90 degrees in the storefront and i was told it was even hotter where the actual dry cleaning (which! is actually liquid cleaning) takes place.
the people who own barracks are in maryland? wtf???
Liquid cleaning yes, but no water.
shen – yes’m. http://www.federalrealty.com/about_us/contact_us.php
ps. i forgot to reply to the subject thread. oops.
no wonder they don’t give a shit about the small businesses then.
Get on their local property manager’s bad side and you’ll regret it… She threatened to tow one of my employee’s cars because he parked sort of in front of my store one really rainy week. Oh, and my roof has leaked for years and cost my store $1000’s in repairs that they couldn’t give the slightest shit about until everyone’s favorite coffee-chain had an incident.
Federal Realty totally sucks for taking care of Barracks Road. The store I work at, the front window has so many termite holes in it, I’m scared the window is gonna fall out if someone leans on the frame. The AC for half the store has been broken for about 2 years, and they keep saying they’re going to fix it, but they still haven’t. They made us take out the “OPEN” sign we had above our door, that’d we’d had forever because it didn’t look good. But somehow, 5 guys, which is right beside the office, has one.
I hope I can continue working on my MBA at the Charlottesville Brixx. I was halfway thru my Masters of Beer Appeciation degree when I moved out of North Carolina and away from the Brixx I used to live accross the street from
checked out their site and their pizzas look good. i like that they have whole wheat crust options. they only make 10 inch pizzas, though. also, their sandwiches are about $7 which some of you were saying was very expensive in the other thread.
i’m not sure you can get a good sandwich for less than $7 around here, but I believe the discussion was more about price vs. portion.
Brixx is on the pricy side, but good. I used to go the one in Chapel Hill when I lived there and enjoyed it. It (or another pizza place) would be a good addition to Barracks.
I will drop 7 on a sandwich, but not if I finish it and look around for the “other half…”
Not when a quick look at the fridge shows Angus roast beef, spicy whole grain mustard, Foccacia from ABC, some left over roasted red bells and sauteed onions from the grill…hmmm gotta go.
A pizza place is going in Barracks, It is not Brixx…
yeah, from C-VILLE:
And finally, something called Rise Pizzaworks is “coming soon” to Barracks Road. Don’t expect anything real soon (we spied in the windows), but do expect something for the eyes in addition to a slice a pie when the place finally does open: The designers of Alloy Workshop are lending their expertise to the project.
apparently:
Vaughn owned Orbit Billiards and Atomic Burrito and currently has ownership stakes in Rapture and the Christian’s Pizza on the Corner. Spagnolo once oversaw the operations of Starr Hill Brewery, Blue Light Grill and Mas.

Barracks is pretty nice for pedestrian traffic, as viewed from the patios of the several places that have them. It seems a more consistent flow and higher viewing quality as compared to what one gets in an average hour at, say, Cubano. Oddly, SOAP (body and laundry) is used by 90% of Barracks Road patrons, to maybe 50% of Downtown Mall frequenters.
It does seem as though there’s a leaning against small-business there… Barracks is a natural for a smallerscale ShortPump Mall. I had been encouraged by the narrow-side of Barracks, as though it were to be perpetually devoted to allowing local-business: Scarpa, Rock-Paper, Shenanigans, Cleaners, the defunct Bakery, Grass-Food or whatever that place is called, etc., but now management seems to be leaning towards running them out and trying to develop that side along with the main part—Anthrologie being the first, and no doubt others to follow soon. One assumes there has been some consideration given to building a pedestrian OVERPASS to allow people to cross from one side to the other easily… but that would necessitate greater mass-commercial development between BRMS and Kroger… to allow a continuous ’shopping experience’ and a draw towards the other side.
You plebes still eat pizza?
Sure — whenever I can get to North Garden, New York or New Haven…
Whatever, man. Pizza is The Man’s food.
So: you say you are a “-bot”.
Whaddaya like — raw vegan?
Maybe… back to Marin County you should go?
Only a theory, natch.
