Kirkwood Pizzeria: Hold The Pepperoni!

Kirkwood's Pi Pizzeria is the first Missouri restaurant to start Meatless Mondays, the international campaign for veggie-only dishes once a week.

Pi Pizzeria is the first restaurant in the state of Missouri to adopt Meatless Mondays, an international campaign to cut meat consumption once a week. The concept may sound unusual, especially since pepperoni has long been America’s documented favorite pizza topping, but going meatless on Mondays has a long history in the U.S. During World War I, Herbert Hoover, then head of the U.S. Food Administration, campaigned for families to limit consumption of scarce items—including meat—so there’d be enough for the troops. A Saturday Evening Post article in 1929 reported on the movement: “Americans began to look seriously into the question of what and how much they were eating. Lots of people discovered for the first time that they could eat less …

Life in the Sandwich

New Kid on the Plaza: Pazzo's

A quiet opening for Kirkwood's newest pizzeria.

Pazzo’s, the latest concept in Michael Del Pietro’s family of restaurants, opened Oct. 25 in Station Plaza with little fanfare. Pazzo’s opened in the space formerly occupied by La Salsa. They are the third occupant of the space and hopefully third time’s the charm. In order to charm Kirkwood, however, they need to come into the light and really wow us.  Pazzo’s seems wrapped in a bit of mystery. Their website is very basic, with a menu, an address and a phone number. No hours are listed – they are open for lunch and dinner – and a call to the phone number provided was never answered by a person. To further add to the mystery, the lighting outside the restaurant, primarily two short lit trees, does not exactly make it feel like the …

I have to admit that I'm such a food-oriented person that I pretty much go to restaurants just for the food. Period :). If the decor is annoying, of course, I may not go back, but it's not what draws me in. Service is very important, and the kid issue is a good one, Susan. When my kids were little, we frequented very different kinds of restaurants than I do now. As for the comparison to other …   more ›
