Danger Pie will launch its takeout pizza service at Blanchard's Coffee in Richmond on October 9. The new business will operate exclusively on Fridays using an online preordering system for pickup.

Why it matters

The business owner is launching this venture as part of a strategy to transition from coffee brewing to full-time pizza production. Future plans for the service include expanding the current operating schedule to additional days of the week.

The shop will offer 14-inch pizzas ranging from $15 to $23. Service will run weekly on Fridays during the 5pm to 9pm operating window.

The players

Danger Pie

This is a new pizza business operating out of an established coffee shop location.

Blanchard's Coffee

This is a local coffee roaster and cafe that serves as the venue for the new pizza operation.

The details

Customers must place orders online on the day of service for pickup at a garage-door window located at Blanchard's Coffee. The menu features two distinct options, including a vegan marinara and a Cheese Hog pizza.

Timeline

  1. Service begins on October 9, 2026.

  2. Operations will occur every Friday.

  3. The service window runs from 5pm to 9pm.

Market Landscape

This move follows the established pattern of the ghost kitchen business model for local eateries by utilizing existing commercial space for specialized takeout operations. Such hybrid arrangements allow independent operators to reduce overhead costs while testing new product concepts in the local market.

Local customers can secure a pizza by placing an order online on the day of service for pickup at the garage-door window. Because the business is strictly takeout-only, residents should plan to collect their orders during the Friday evening hours.

The takeaway

This new venture highlights how businesses can leverage underutilized commercial space to launch specialized food concepts. Interested customers should prepare for the limited Friday-only window to ensure availability.
