Our Story
Our Beginning
The story of Beer Bread Pizza starts with a spark — the perfect location in the heart of Uptown Saint John. When we discovered a beautiful vintage building from the early 1900s, we knew it was meant for something special. What was once a historic bank is now being transformed into a one-of-a-kind restaurant where Detroit-style pizza meets craft beer.
Our concept is simple: to welcome everyone into a new era of dining — blending innovation, comfort, and community under one roof. Inspired by Buddy’s Pizza, the birthplace of Detroit-style pizza in 1946, we’ve reimagined that same handcrafted spirit right here in Saint John. Every square pie is made by hand with premium ingredients and baked on our signature beer-infused dough, bringing depth, flavour, and nostalgia together in one bite.
We’re preserving the character of the past while adding our own modern twist — creating a space that feels both timeless and exciting. From the restored architectural details to the aroma of beer bread crust baking in the oven, Beer Bread Pizza is where history and flavour meet.
Our Team
Behind every pizza is a crew that’s passionate about craft, creativity, and community. Our chefs, bartenders, and servers share one vision — to make Beer Bread Pizza the go-to spot in Saint John for incredible food, great beer, and genuine hospitality.
From perfecting the balance of malt and yeast in our beer-bread dough to curating a tap list full of local favourites, every member of our team brings their expertise and heart to the table. We’re proud to partner with Atlantic Canadian suppliers and breweries, keeping it local and real in every slice and sip.
Our Mission
At Beer Bread Pizza, our mission is to serve more than great food — it’s to serve connection. We’re redefining the pizza-and-beer experience by celebrating craftsmanship, community, and comfort.
We believe in honouring the story of our space while writing a new one — a place where everyone feels welcome, where food is shared, and where every visit feels like coming home. With our roots in Saint John and our inspiration from Detroit, we’re bringing together two traditions of flavour, innovation, and heart.
This summer, we can’t wait to welcome you in — for the pizza, the beer, and the story we’re still writing together.
