Our Story
From Libya to Forest Hill: The Story Behind Zombie Pizza
Inspired By Family, Built With Passion
Zombie Pizza, founded in May 2022, is a family-owned pizzeria in Richmond’s Forest Hill neighborhood. Owner Hamed Kalifa, a Libyan native with prior restaurant experience in Minnesota, spent over three years turning a former tire shop into this unique spot.
The name "Zombie Pizza" was inspired by Kalifa's teenage son's fascination with zombies. The pizzeria offers New York-style slices with a Mediterranean twist, reflecting Kalifa's heritage and commitment to quality.
Fresh, Fun & Full of Flavor
Zombie Pizza stands out for its commitment to fresh, homemade ingredients and a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences, including vegan and gluten-free options. The pizzeria's unique theme, inspired by the owner's son's interest in zombies, adds a playful touch to the dining experience. With a focus on quality, variety, and a unique brand identity, Zombie Pizza distinguishes itself in Richmond’s culinary landscape.
