Brooklyn South Deli officially opened today. Located at 1437 Central Ave., Brooklyn South is a new business composed of locally farmed cheeses and a penchant for charcuterie. Owned by Matt Bonano, committee member of the American Cheese Society and trained chef from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, Central Ave's newest deli hopes to become an indelible figure in the Burg. The deli will offer a limited sandwich menu but let's be honest, what's better than a cut of rye bread is two halves of fresh mozzarella enveloping paper thin slices of salty prosciutto.
"I'm all about promoting and supporting local farms in the U.S." said Bonano. "We're open today and I hope to be working here forever. It's an exciting time to be a business in St. Pete." The Burg is equally excited to see the cheese emporium open its doors to Central Avenue. The deli will be open for breakfast and lunch, 8am-6pm Mon.-Sat. Brooklyn South will also feature an extensive retail section Brooklyn South Deli 1437 Central Ave.
Top This Pie
4th street just got saucier! Top This Pie is the latest addition to the burgeoning pizza scene in St. Pete. Their artisan pies are small in size and incendiary in flavor. The first thing your senses are greeted by when you walk in is their dough viewing room *their dough is made fresh everyday*. The restaurant implements strategies they learned in Italy in properly fashioning and kneading both their New York style and whole wheat doughs.
Top This Pie comes complete with the promise that after you have selected the cheese and toppings you want on your pie, the masterpiece goes from concept to cooked in 3 minutes or less. Top This Pie uses imported ceramic ovens from Italy that bake your pie at more than 700 degrees. Eat well and drink local. Top This Pie will be circulating local craft beers from our favorite St. Pete Hops nerds. Your meal doesn't end at the crust. Top This Pie offers gelato pops that are, in a word…goooooooood. Even more exciting than the food is their interactive Mobile App which allows customers to avoid the line and track their order as its made. Top This Pie, 1535 4th St N.
