Dewey's Pizza

Last weekend a couple of friends and I decided to head out for pizza. Normally we go to Peel Wood Fired Pizza in Edwardsville, IL. This time though we decided to try someplace new, Dewey's Pizza located about 2 miles from Peel. Two of us arrived behind the others, there were only two parking spots as the main parking area was under construction. From the outside the building looked to be older and the sign was similar to the 50's style neon signs. But on the inside...

As we entered we were greeted by the host with a "Finally you have arrived...we were beginning to wonder". He didn't even know us but he had checked on our friends a couple of times to see if all was okay. It was a nice personable, welcoming greeting that set the tone of our visit. The inside of the place was pleasantly upscale and the atmosphere was great. I loved the openness of the kitchen, you could tell that they were also quite proud of it as it was wide open so that you could see everything.

The food was great. We had the Caprice Pizza (olive oil, minced garlic, Mozzarella-Fontina blend, fresh basil and Roma tomatoes) and the Harvest Salad (field greens with figs, Applewood Bacon, roasted pumpkin seeds and Boursin Cheese, tossed with Apple Cider Vinaigrette).

We enjoyed our food and the atmosphere, we have a new place.
