News: St. Louis Originals Adds 2 New Restaurants

St. Louis Originals has just announced that it has added two new restaurants to their rapidly expanding All Star lineup, PW Pizza and the Cafe Pintxos as Hotel Ignacio.  For those of you unfamiliar with St. Louis Originals, it is a group of locally and independently owned St. Louis restaurants.  At each restaurant you can even pick up a free rewards card and get points for dining at a St. Louis Original Restaurant.  And now St. Louis Original gift cards are even available, a perfect gift to give to foodies, that you can use at any of the 35 restaurants.


PW Pizza is a new pizza place that just opened up this past May.  It is located on the first floor of Vin De Set's building downtown.  Jessie, Joe and I visited it a few months ago before seeing Jersey Boys at the Fox and it was amazing! (the show was amazing too ;-))  It had a fun drink menu, with craft beers from all over the nation that I've never even heard of.  And the waitress was really nice at helping us choose a beer we would enjoy.  Also, they give you a frosted beer glass to pour the bottled beer into, which I just love!!!  And just like the Pasta Bowl at Lo Russo's, they have an annual Pizza Recipe contest, benefiting Food Outreach of St. Louis!  We ordered the winning dish, which was Spinach, Artichokes, and Meatballs with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.  It was perfect!!!  I don't know how anyone is going to top that next year.


I've never been to Cafe Pintxos at Hotel Ignacio, but it sounds like a cute breakfast spot!  The website says that by day it is a breakfast cafe, serving muffins, smoothies, and breakfast sandwiches, and by night it is a trendy, contemporary bar.  Definitely go check it out!
