City Guide

Louisville’s secret sauce

A slice of pizza with a golden-brown crust sits on two stacked white paper plates. The pizza is topped with melted cheese, crispy browned spots, a drizzle of red sauce, white sauce, and a few pieces of spiral pasta. A small piece of fried chicken is also visible on the slice. The plates rest on a dark, mosaic-style tabletop with irregularly shaped black, white, and brown tiles.

Whenever we’re feeling saucy, we like to dig into a slice of local pizza. If you’re on the quest for the perfect slice, we’ve pie-oneered a list of 21 places to grab pizza that are definitely worth the dough.

🍕 Local legends

Spinelli’s, locations vary
Get a slice or a whole pie at (almost) any hour of the day from this pizzeria. Spinelli’s has perhaps the largest slices in town — they’re served on two paper plates each. Plus, if you dine in at the Highlands location, you can sit in an old-fashioned sports car.

🍕 Fancier fare

Porcini, Crescent Hill
You’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to Tuscany when you step into this Frankfort Avenue restaurant. The menu includes three pizzas along with its other Florentine-style fare, like pranza and ensalata.

🍕 Brick oven-style

Hop Atomica, Germantown
There’s always something new on the rotating list of specials at this brewery. Pair a wood-fired pizza with a fresh beer on tap or a signature cocktail. Pro tip: Get a 10-inch pizza for $10 on Tuesdays.

The Wrap

Today’s edition by: Katie

A colorful outdoor playground with modern industrial design elements is filled with children playing. The structure includes yellow and red metal beams, mesh walkways, and a black tunnel made of metal rings suspended above the ground. A large climbing ramp with a circular window is on the left, while oversized black chain sculptures frame the foreground. Children in winter clothing are running, climbing, and engaging with the play equipment. Bright red awnings and a waterfront setting with lampposts are visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

Waterfront Park looks like a construction zone — in the best way possible. Officials cut the ribbon on PlayPort, a $15 million playground made of repurposed construction and boating equipment, earlier this week.

PlayPort is the first installment of Waterfront Park’s Phase IV expansion, which broke ground in 2022, and is located between 12th and Rowan Streets. I can’t wait to take a spin on the giant tires.
