Continuing with our road trip to St. Louis and Omaha to visit family.
Bonnie and Bill had returned from a wedding up in Peoria Illinois, so as usual when visiting Laurie's family in the St. Louis area we were out and about with Laurie's sister Bonnie and Bonnie's husband Bill.
We decided to take in a movie...by actually going to a real movie theater!
I didn't note the name of the movie theater and I wasn't ready for the 'accompaniments' shown above. Some vestiges of the above 'look' exists at our favored theater in Farragut Tennessee...but this St. Louis County theater in Missouri has taken on a multi-functional role in its attempt to attract customers, hopefully to watch movies! Even so, the huge game room was almost empty and the bar was devoid of any customers.
Oh yes...we did come to the theater to watch a movie. It was the first of Kevin Costner's planned four part exploration of the western USA. This segment/movie is titled "Horizon - An America Saga (Part 1). Apparently we were among the few who saw this movie during its opening week. It was about 3 hours long and kept cutting back and forth introducing the viewers to the primary characters. It lacked clarity and it didn't seem to conclude at a meaningful point. Release of the second part of the "American Saga" has been postponed.
One thing that our little group does well is to seek out and consume varied types of food... In this instance it was time for pizza. Dewey's Pizza is a regional chain with 25 locations in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky. This is the Dewey's restaurant in Webster Groves Missouri.
Laurie and I have eaten in one other Dewey's Pizza restaurant. It was in Kirkwood Missouri. In both restaurants the pizza kitchen was really busy! Dewey's seems to be very popular.
Dewey's bar was almost overwhelmed and the dining room had very few tables available. We were lucky and were seated in quick order. As you can see, the decor is simple and colorful...with that industrial 'look' in evidence...very appropriate for an upscale pizza joint.
Using ingredients of his choice Bill 'built' and ordered his own 11" Pizza. The items included olives, artichokes, bell peppers, onion, tomato and pepperoni. As you will note, I forgot to take any photos until a fair amount of 'damage' was done to each pizza.
Yours truly also built his own 11" pizza. It included pepperoni, Italian sausage and fresh jalapenos. ($19.00) I thought that it was better than any pizzas we've found in East Tennessee...with one exception. I really appreciated that extra 'pop' provided by the jalapenos!
Laurie and Bonnie decided to split a 13" pizza. Dewey's features a number of 'specialty pizzas' and this one is the Edgar Allan Poe. It featured olive oil, mozzarella and fontina cheeses, mushrooms, whole roasted garlic cloves, kalamata olives and goat cheese. After baking, both pieces of tomato and parsley are added. ($21.75)
We all enjoyed our pizzas but no one could finish their servings. Bill ended up with a lot of nice leftovers! Nothing like cold pizza for breakfast!
Dewey's Pizza in Webster Groves Missouri is located at 122 East Lockwood. They feature 15 different specialty pizzas or you can 'build your own'. In addition Dewey's offers calzones plus 5 entree or side salads. The company's website is found at https://deweyspizza.com/.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I haven't visited a theatre in ages..not a fan of Western. Again, last time i was in a pizza hut was about 30 years ago..I could handle 1 wedge, 2 at most.
ReplyDeleteThe pizzas look very good except for one thing. I hate it when then leave so much untopped crust around the outside as I'm into toppings and not bread. One of the things I lake about Pizza Venti in Vonore is that they don't do that.
ReplyDeleteMy grands would have enjoyed a movie and a pizza, but probably not that movie. Not sure I would have gone either, though I've liked most of Costner's work.
