The Week of August 19, 2007: Dewey's Pizza is the Restaurant of the Week in St. Louis

Dewey's has two locations in the St. Louis area. There is one in University City and one in Kirkwood. The one in U-City is off of Delmar at the intersection of North & South Rd and Delmar Blvd. The Dewey's in Kirkwood is located in downtown Kirkwood, off of Kirkwood (Lindbergh) Road.

The inside of Dewey's has exposed brick and is going for a very modern look. There is a huge window to look into the kitchen and you can see the pizza makers tossing the pizza into the air. There is a small bar and a few booths along the wall, and the rest of the place is tables. We went for lunch around 11:45 and the place was filling up fast. I don't think there was a table by noon. I have been to Dewey's at night and know that the wait is sometimes an hour on a Friday or Saturday night.

The Pizza at Dewey's is very good. It is like a New York style pizza where you are able to fold it. Dewey's has different pizza concoctions that combine toppings. For example my favorites are the "Edgar Allen Poe", which is an olive oil and garlic sauce, chicken, olives, Feta cheese, and roasted garlic on a pizza crust, and I also like the "Dr. Dre", which is an olive oil and garlic sauce, chicken, bacon, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and then it is drizzled with their ranch dressing. Both of those pizzas are a top choice with me.

The salads at Dewey's Pizza are also worth going for. They have great salads. The one I like the best is the bacon ranch salad. Their ranch dressing is really good. I have been told that their other salads are also very good as well.

Prices: The place is a little pricy, it is around $18 for a large specialty pizza, but it is well worth it if you want a good dinner or lunch.
