About Dewey's Pizza — Our Story

Dewey's pizza was born from a simple belief: that great pizza starts with great ingredients, honest craft, and a deep love for the community. Since 2002, we've been handcrafting deweys pizza in Webster Groves, Missouri — one delicious pie at a time.

Our Story

How Dewey's Became a Webster Groves Institution

Dewey's pizza started as a dream shared between two friends who believed that the perfect pizza slice could bring a whole neighborhood together.

In the fall of 2002, we opened our doors at 122 E Lockwood Ave in Webster Groves, Missouri. From day one, our commitment was clear: use only the freshest local ingredients, craft each crust by hand, and treat every customer like family. That philosophy has never changed.

Over two decades, deweys pizza has grown from a small neighborhood spot into a beloved community anchor. We've served thousands of families, hosted countless birthday parties, fueled late-night study sessions, and celebrated milestones big and small — all through the universal language of amazing pizza.

"Pizza is more than food — it's the centerpiece of every gathering. At Dewey's, we take that role seriously and craft every pie as if it's the main event."

Today, dewey remains committed to the same values that launched us — quality, community, and craft. Whether you dine in, carry out, or have your dewey's pizza delivered hot to your door, every bite reflects over 20 years of passion.

The Signature Menu Launch

After years of experimentation and guest feedback, dewey introduced the now-legendary Signature Series — a curated lineup of specialty pizzas featuring bold, unexpected flavor combinations that set us apart from every other pizza place in St. Louis.

Expanded Dining & Catering

A full renovation expanded our dining room and launched our catering division, bringing the Dewey's pizza experience to private events, corporate gatherings, and celebrations across the greater St. Louis area.

2016

Online Ordering & Delivery

Dewey's launched its digital ordering platform, making it easier than ever for guests to get their favorite dewey's pizza delivered hot and fresh. Our delivery radius expanded to serve more St. Louis neighborhoods than ever before.

Sustainability Initiative

Deweys committed to sourcing 80% of produce from local Missouri farms and switched to 100% compostable packaging. Our community recognized this effort with the Webster Groves Green Business Award.
