Noble Crust Eatery Completes Second Expansion Phase In St. Pete

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Noble Crust has announced the completion of the second phase of its expansion project at its Gateway neighborhood location in St. Petersburg.

Working with the City of St. Petersburg, the restaurant at 8300 4th St. N. obtained the rights to use space on 84th Avenue North where foreclosed properties once stood to build out the eatery's new parking lot. The lot includes 88 parking spots along with landscaping, a retention pond and vinyl fencing along the perimeter facing 5th Street North to provide privacy to the neighboring community.

The restaurant at the corner of 4th Street North and 83rd Avenue North features fine Italian cooking using farm-fresh Southern ingredients.

Executive Chef Rob Reinsmith is a Pinellas County native who spent several years working with some of the most noted chefs in New York City before returning to Tampa Bay to help open Noble Crust.

Noble Crust offers indoor and outdoor seating with a retractable roof, social tables, an open kitchen that puts guests in the center of the action, and a bar that features crafted beers and quality wines on tap.

“They redeveloped a very visible corner and showed everyone what a bit of love, money and sweat equity can do for our city” said St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce President Christopher Steinocher. “Noble Crust’s investment, continuing success and care for the gateway district has created a broader confidence for the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s a visible sign of caring for all parts of our city – not just downtown.”

In addition to its signature craft pizza, Noble Crust's ever-changing eclectic menu features a Gorgonzola Filet, Jumbo Shrimp and Grits, Rigatoni and Short Rib Ragu, Fried Green Tomatoes with Tabasco-honey glazed pork belly and pimento cheese, and Parmesan Truffle Fries.

The brunch offered Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. features favorites like fried chicken and waffles and lemon ricotta pancakes.

With the popularity of the St. Pete location, Noble Crust has expanded to 28330 Paseo Drive in Wesley Chapel and 11618 N. Dale Mabry Highway in Carrollwood.
