St. Pizza splits into two parts on Magazine Street. Out front is a slice window and to-go counter selling pizza by the slice and whole pies, with a small counter and outdoor tables for eating on site. Behind it is the tavern, a full-service dark, cozy red-sauce restaurant serving 18-inch whole pies and 14-inch bar pies alongside chicken parm, pastas, meatballs, and a full bar — slices aren't served on that side, and the two rooms run as distinct experiences.
The restaurant was opened in 2023 by Tony Biancosino, who grew up cooking in his Italian-American family's restaurant on the East Coast, along with New Orleans native Abhi Bhansali and Biancosino's wife and partner Leslie Pariseau. St. Pizza shares ownership with Patron Saint, the wine shop and bar next door run by Biancosino and Pariseau.
