A Pizza Story (7278 Manchester Road) has been open about two months, but has been a bit under the St. Louis foodie radar so far.
Ladue News reviewed the restaurant last week, and definitely liked it.
“With all of the great pizza places around town, it takes a lot of confidence to open up yet another one. The folks at A Pizza Story, which bowed earlier this year in Maplewood, have that confidence and it’s definitely warranted,” the Ladue News states.
The reviewers said that with Neapolitan pizza, which is what A Pizza Story serves, the crust is paramount. “It’s a deceptively simple proposition, but one that can easily go awry if proper mixtures and temperatures aren’t adhered to.”

The reviewers had two of the pizzas, the Space Opera ($15) and the Thriller ($15). “It’s obvious A Pizza Story has the crust situation well in hand. Both had delicious thin, soft crusts with just a bit of char.”
The Space Opera has smoked salmon and ricotta, with red onion, capers and dill. The Thriller is heavier and spicier, with Spanish chorizo and mozzarella.

A Pizza Story opens for business at 11:30 a.m. every day except Monday, when it’s closed.
My husband and I ate at Pizza Story last weekend and it was delicious. So glad to have it here in Maplewood.
