Local sports radio mainstay Big Al Coleman, who currently hosts a morning show on Sports 106.1, has hung up his restaurateur hat. At the close of business last Thursday, Coleman, who ran Big Al’s Sports Bar & Grill for a decade, closed the operation, selling to a pair of entrepreneurs who plan to bring a new-to-Richmond pizza franchise to the space.

Chicago’s Pizza With A Twist, a gourmet pizza parlor and sports bar, is coming soon to the vacated space at 3641 Cox Road in the West End.

Featuring traditional and “fusion-inspired” pizzas, each are made with fresh ingredients and fresh dough. Unique varieties will reportedly include Curry Chicken, Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken Pizza, and Naan Pizza.

Create your own options and delivery will also be available.

The new restaurant will employ approximately 15 people. Hours of operation for the store are Monday through Thursday and Sunday, 10:30 AM until 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 AM until 11:00 PM.
