Pizza aside, I lived on third floor of 2309 18th for many years, when Pi was a short-lived sushi place, and then a Thai restaurant that tried ever-so-hard to be a dance club. Living on 18th street was not for the feint of heart. Best memory is when I awoke in the middle of the night to a group of well-mannered Japanese tourists knocking at my apartment door, asking if I’d mind if they used the bathroom. I let them in, they did their business, and were on their way, all in a most polite fashion. It was not unlike a Murakami story.

Put a bird on it

I had a really great meal at PI a few weeks ago and will definitely go back. The salad with bib lettuce and gorgonzola was delicious. The pizza was good too. I dined on a Tuesday night and the atmosphere was nice and quiet, I can see the dining room getting cramped Thurs-Sat.

Assuming this is the same Pi Pizzeria that’s out of St. Louis and has a location in Gallery Place, it’s absolutely fantastic. Unquestionably some of the best deep dish you’ll ever have.
