another note,



There is a 70 car lot being built right behind A GOOD PIE on Locust that will be opening in the spring, so while parking is a bit challanging right now, it won't be in a few months. A back entry will be added as they have a nice back patio alreadey in place.

Had lunch here last weekend. Very reasonably priced pizza and cooked in 90 seconds. Pizza was great and definitely prefer over other DT options. Not really sure who to compare to. Very cozy atmoshere too.

had dinner with my wife here last night. definitely some tasty pizza to be had here. can't wait to come back and try the other ones on the menu. had the antina and they definitely didn't skimp on the toppings. i like the atmosphere. the bartender said the lunch business was faring very well and from the looks of the packed house friday night, their evening business seemed to be good as well. he also mentioned that pappy's is doing great lunch business. said they pulled 300 customers during lunch the other day with the line stretching out the door... i'm guessing the wachovia crowd is really helping out. good to hear some businesses are thriving.

It's at 31st and Olive. Here's the exact location in Google Street View: http://is.gd/fgZX



I had dinner there a couple weeks back with a friend. It was my first Neapolitan pizza experience and I enjoyed it. Warm ambiance.



Went to Pi a few days ago and was pleased to find a place that matches up to the recently closed Pizza della Piazza in Chicago-Style authenticity.

I dropped by last Friday to see what the hype was all about.



I ordered the lunch special - fresh pizza margherita and mista salad.

The mista salad (lemon + gorgonzola + pear) was absolutely delicious. Typically, I abhor salads; however, I could eat this salad everyday.

As for the pizza, it was piping hot from the brick oven (really cool) and the sauce was incredibly fresh and light yet full of flavor.



All for $7.95. I'm not complaining.



I agree with everybody in that the ambiance and decor was warm, inviting and perfectly suited for their neighborhood-pizza-joint concept. The vintage bicycles on the walls were a nice touch.



Lastly, the service was excellent and the staff checked on us multiple times to ask us if we were enjoying the meal. I can definitely respect a place that works so hard to please the customer.

I work in Midtown and finally made it to The Good Pie. Um, how many ways can you spell "delicious?"



A friend and I stopped in around 5ish. We were the only people there, but I think it was super-early for dinner (We were there that early because of plans for later in the evening). It really is a homey, cozy place, and we felt SO welcomed. We started with a salad that included greens, pears and gorganzola. It was largish, and we had a bit leftover to cleanse the palate after our meal.



Our main course was the mushroom pizza. Fabulous! These were real mushrooms, not those canned mushy things you find on Domino's and the like. The crust was thin and obviously homemade -- you could argue that each pizza was like a snowflake in that each crust and shape was a bit different. It had those great air bubbles that char just a bit on top. So good!



After dinner, I had cinnamon gelato and my friend had some coffee-with-a-side-of-ice-cream thing. We both finished with huge smiles.



What really made the meal was our server; I wish I would have gotten his name before we rushed out. He was really nice and explained about the pizza baking process. He was attentive and filled our water glasses almost as soon as they ran out. He wasn't annoyingly "up your ass," though. He just... knew. And when he wasn't attending to us, he was having friendly banter with two other members of the staff. Really, really a friendly place.



It will only be, oh, a week before I go again.



** Added: Oh, I forgot to say that it was REAL cheese on the pizza. None of this provel hash.

It’s once again that time where a restaurant opens anew and wows us with a website astonishingly void of information such as phone numbers and sample menus. Though at least the address is there.

This must be a look at the old site or something, because the info is across the bottom.



Me and the fam are headed to The Good Pie tomorrow, then off to Chuck E Cheese to play some games with my boy.

Now that's a smart dad. Get some good authentic stuff before you take the fam to Chuck E. Cheese instead of eating the cardboard they call pizza there!

Yes Juice, that is how the urban family rolls. Good plan.



I cannot wait to try this place based on everything I've read so far!

I went here two weeks ago. The food is excellent and I really think the space looks great.

They raised the lunch special price by a dollar to $8.95 but still totally worth it. This reminded me of the pizza I had when I went to Venice a few years back.

$8.95 is still a steal.

I've been many times for both lunch and dinner, the food is really good and very consistant which is what most look for in a restaurant. Congrats to Mike and his crew.



NOTE TO ALL..



The patio will be opening soon..
