The San Marco community is abuzz with the highly anticipated grand opening of Electric Dough Pizza Co.
Led by Chef Tom Gray, Electric Dough Pizza Co. has found a home in the old San Marco Theatre building at 1996 San Marco Boulevard, with nods to the historic theater visible in design elements throughout the 4,200-square-foot restaurant, from the exposed brick original to the building to the backdrop to its bar area, reminiscent of a vintage Hollywood vanity mirror, and beyond. As guests enter the restaurant, they can immediately spot the theater’s original film projector paying homage to the building’s bygone era.
“As we’ve looked for a place to begin this project – we hope to do other Electric Dough Pizza Companies – this felt like the perfect spiritual home to establish what Electric Dough Pizza Company will be and let it grow from here,” Gray said during the ribbon cutting ceremony held on Tuesday, June 17.
Gray announced his plans to move the restaurant concept into the old theater space last year. The “craft casual” dining experience allows guests to order at the counter, with table service for drinks from the bar, so guests can focus on enjoying their dining experience once seated.
Electric Dough Pizza Co. offers rectangular artisan pizzas with Roman-style dough and Detroit-style edges.
It also has a full cocktail bar, wine and domestic and imported beer.
Electric Dough Pizza Co. is Grey’s third restaurant concept. Town Hall Restaurant is just a few doors down
on San Marco Boulevard. Prati Italia, meanwhile, is located at the St. Johns Town Center.
