The Dewey's Pizza Story

It all started with a simple idea: dewey's pizza should taste like it was made by someone who truly loves food. Founded in Webster Groves, MO, our founders set out to create a neighborhood pizza spot that felt like home — where every pie was crafted with fresh ingredients, genuine care, and a whole lot of personality.

The deweys way has always been about more than just great pizza. We believe in building community, supporting local suppliers, and treating every guest like family. From our signature sauce to our hand-stretched dough, everything is made in-house using time-honored techniques passed down through years of craft.

Today, Dewey's pizza at 122 E Lockwood Ave stands as a beloved fixture of Webster Groves — a place where families celebrate, friends gather, and every visit feels a little bit special. We're proud to serve the United States community and keep the dewey tradition alive with every order.
