Dewey's pizza has been crafting handmade, oven-fired pizzas in St. Charles, Missouri since the very beginning — built on family, fresh ingredients, and a genuine love for the craft.
Dewey's pizza started with a simple idea: bring people together over pizza that actually means something. Our founder, inspired by years of exploring regional pizza styles across the country, settled in St. Charles, Missouri with a wood-fired oven, a handful of trusted recipes, and an unshakeable belief that great pizza changes moods, conversations, and evenings.
From that first humble kitchen at 1520 S 5th St, we've grown into a beloved community institution — but we've never lost the spirit that started it all. Every dough ball is still hand-stretched. Every sauce is still made from scratch. Every pie that leaves our oven carries the same intention it always has: to be the best pizza you've had today.
What makes Dewey's pizza different isn't just the ingredients — it's the people behind every order, the care behind every slice, and the community that's grown around our tables.
"To craft every pizza with the same care and intention we'd give to a meal for our own family — because that's exactly who we're cooking for."
At Dewey's pizza, our mission goes beyond food. We're committed to sourcing local and regional ingredients wherever possible, reducing our environmental footprint, and creating a space in St. Charles where everyone feels genuinely welcome — whether it's your first visit or your five hundredth.
We believe pizza is one of life's great unifiers. Our job is to make sure every version that carries the Dewey's name lives up to that potential.

Every pizza we make carries genuine care from the first stretch of dough to the final slice. Passion isn't a marketing word here — it's the ingredient we never run out of.
We refuse to cut corners. Premium flour, real mozzarella, house-made sauces. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't go on your plate — simple as that.
St. Charles isn't just where we operate — it's who we are. We sponsor local events, partner with area farmers, and give back to the neighborhood that made us.
Honoring tradition doesn't mean standing still. We experiment, we listen, we improve — because the best version of Dewey's pizza is always the next one.
Two decades of growth, flavor, and community — here are the milestones that shaped who we are today.
Dewey's pizza opened its doors at 1520 S 5th St in St. Charles, Missouri — a tiny kitchen, a single wood-fired oven, and a menu of five hand-stretched pizzas. Lines formed within the first week.
Four years in, we expanded our menu to include seasonal specials, house-made appetizers, and craft salads. Our "deweys classic" pie became the most-ordered item — and still is to this day.
Responding to overwhelming demand from local businesses and families, we launched our full-service catering program — bringing Dewey's pizza to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
We formalized our farm-to-table partnerships with Missouri growers — locking in seasonal produce, locally-milled flour, and regional dairy. Our customers tasted the difference immediately.
Facing global challenges, we pivoted quickly — launching online ordering, contactless delivery, and community meal programs. Our loyal community showed up for us, and we showed up for them.
Two decades later, Dewey's pizza is still hand-crafting every pie with the same spirit it started with — and we're just getting warmed up. New recipes, franchise opportunities, and a bigger community await.
Every great pizza starts with great people. Our team brings decades of combined experience, a shared obsession with craft, and a genuine love for feeding people well.
