Pie Whole

Top choice in US Virgin Islands


Six tables and 10 barstools comprise this cozy eatery, whose claim to fame lies with its 14in, brick-oven pizzas. Superfresh ingredients, eg spinach and ricotta or mozzarella and basil, top the crisp, hand-stretched crusts. Several house-made pastas and a robust beer list raise Pie Whole well beyond the norm.
