Z Pizza employees were busy last week getting ready for their opening this week.
The pizza shop in the Clayton Moorlands neighborhood is the first of the brand to open in St. Louis. General manager Scott Newhouse said he likes that all the ingredients are fresh.
"Working in the pizza business like I did, a lot of the pizza companies like Pizza Hut and Dominos use pre-sliced ingredients," Newhouse said. "This stuff is sliced fresh every morning and it’s all locally out-sourced."

Newhouse worked as a general manager for Imo's for 10 years and Jimmy John's for 12.
"I know this delivery area, the crowd; this product in this area will do very well," he said. "I went to California for training and I was impressed."

The shop planned a Tuesday opening but Sunday's snow set them back a day.
The doors open at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. It's in the previous Tip Top Cleaners spot at the intersection of Westwood Drive and Wydown Boulevard.
