Luigi’s Pizza Kitchen opened for business in October of 1998 on Hwy 248 in Branson. Chris Jordan, the owner of Luigi’s Pizza Kitchen who grew up in St. Louis, was accustomed to a thin-crust, “St. Louis Style” pizza and decided it was his mission to bring a little taste of St. Louis to the Ozarks. In the beginning, the menu was small--mostly just pizza and salads. The restaurant was largely regarded as a “hole in the wall” pizzeria tucked away next to a grocery store.

Then, something amazing happened. Customers asked for MORE! Slowly, the menu began to expand. Over the years, sandwiches, dinner salads, pastas and Italian entrees were added to the Luigi’s offering, holding their own against both the signature St. Louis style and traditional hand-tossed pizzas that continue to be staples of the menu

Through it all and since the very beginning, Luigi’s has been an independent, family owned and operated restaurant with the highest standards when it comes to the quality of our food and service. Our mission is simple. We want our food to be consistently perfect, we want to pride ourselves on over-the-top service and we ALWAYS want to give back to the Tri-Lakes are. That’s Luigi’s! No corporate gimmicks, no fancy agendas, just great food, amazing service and over-whelming gratitude for our loyal customers!
