Tom Douglas’ new pizzeria, Serious Pie, is a warm, intimate space with tumbled stone tiles on the walls, a lofty timber frame ceiling hung with black wrought iron chandeliers, and dramatic slabs of natural stone framing an apple-wood burning oven. During daytime hours, diners can view the bread bakers pulling rustic loaves of bread from our French bread baking ovens.

Located around the corner from the Dahlia Lounge, Serious Pie developed as a natural extension of our expanded bread bakery, which produces bread for all the Tom Douglas’ Restaurants and for wholesale and retail sales. Therefore, the “Pie” is a pizzeria with a bread baker’s soul. Tom’s vision of the perfect pie, a simple but “serious” pie, is brought to life on this blistered crust, lightly textured but with just enough structure and bite, and with exactly the right amount of “serious” toppings like our own sausage and pancetta, as well as foraged mushrooms, local clams, and farmers market produce.

A short list of starters featuring salads, wood roasted fruits and vegetables, cured meats and cheeses, and desserts of Old Chatham ricotta cannoli and vanilla mascarpone are available. A small, but serious, beer and wine list round out Serious Pie’s menu of 5 or 6 seasonally changing pizzas.
