Viraj Thomas is turning out more than a half dozen varieties of pizza at Char. He opened the Kensington pizza shop in the middle of last August, falling just weeks shy of his entrepreneurial goals to open a restaurant before his 21st birthday. Most of his pizzas are a thin crust sourdough baked in a brick oven but he does Sicilian style, too. And every two weeks he introduces a new special.
