The Good Pie is moving. The Neopolitan pizzeria will be relocating to 6665 Delmar Blvd., in The Loop, said owner Mike Randolph, who called The Scoop today to inform us that he had just signed the lease on the property in U. City.
The Good Pie’s future home, which is currently occupied by Ginger Bistro, will be partitioned, with The Good Pie taking the 2,000 square foot on the western side of the building’s first floor. Randolph noted that the additional 600 square feet of space compared to The Good Pie’s current location at 3137 Olive St., in Midtown, will not only mean a larger kitchen for his pizza crew (who will get to enjoy a new oven handcrafted in Naples) but also an extended bar for patrons.
Randolph explained that he decided to move the popular pizzeria to The Loop because of the “younger demographic” that frequent The Loop, including students from nearby Washington University, and that the move also places the restaurant closer to West County and the central corridor. Of course, it’s also closer to Half & Half and Little Country Gentleman, Randolph’s double-restaurant concept at 8135 Maryland Ave., in Clayton.
Randolph hopes to have doors open at The Good Pie’s new location by early summer.
