Four Pies: St. Louis' New Pizza Joints
Four new pizza joints have opened in St. Louis in recent weeks. The RFT went into the kitchens of all four and had the chefs prep the pies. Here's a look at what each restaurant has to offer -- from New York-style slices to deep dish to artisan Italian crusts -- in this slide show.

Bridge & Tunnel Pizza offers New York-style slices. Though "Bridge & Tunnel" is a disparaging term for lower-income people who travel to Manhattan from the surrounding boroughs, or (gasp!) New Jersey, the pizza parlor is ironically located on the ritzy Washington Avenue.

B&T offers indoor and outdoor seating for its location at 1131 Washington Avenue. The
grand opening was held Tuesday, April 8.
