It’s no secret. St. Louisans love their pizza, from locals who swear by cracker-thin crust with Provel to the deep-dish diehards. Come fall, there will be another pizza option in the area – up to 20 of them. Texas-based, fast-casual pizza chain Pie Five has its sights set on St. Louis, as reported by the St. Louis Business Journal.
Franchisee Jamey Tasker said he and his partners hope to open the first Pie Five in October. They are currently looking for the prime location. Pie Five stakes its claim to fame on serving made-to-order pizzas with plenty of crusts, sauces and toppings to choose from, all in five minutes or less. Pizzas are individually sized at 9 inches. “It’s kind of like the Chipotle of pizza,” Tasker said. “We love St. Louis, and we think that St. Louis is always on the cusp of new and inventive things. We think this is a pizza revolution, so to speak.”
