A Riverfront Times food reviewer visited A Pizza Story (7278 Manchester Road, Maplewood), and liked everything from the Neapolitan pizza to the tiramisu.
A Pizza Story opened in early June in the former Jones Typewriter building on the same block as Foundation Grounds, at one end, and Acero, at the other.
From the RFT review:
- The classic Margherita, the tone-setter of all Neopolitan pizzerias, was about as close to authentic as one can get stateside…
- The “Fantasy” pizza pairs Gruyere cheese with wild mushrooms and a hint of truffle oil. The umami flavor on this sauceless pie is divine…
- The calamari appetizer was unlike any other fried squid I have seen. The tender, meaty rings — dredged in a peppery flour then fried — were so large that I thought we’d been mistakenly served a jumbo fried onion.
- Fettuccine all’amatriciana, a classic Roman dish, is heaped with hearty chunks of pancetta that have been simmered in tomato sauce.
