It\u2019s called Kitty\u2019s House of Pizza, and it\u2019s a new project from the owners of growing local ice cream brand Bright Ice.<\/p>\n<p>Bright Ice, whose original ice cream parlor in St. Petersburg is located only several blocks fromKitty\u2019s House of Pizza\u2019s future home, has been growing fast in recent years, expanding to locations in locales like Tampa and Venice.<\/p>\n<p>According to the owners, Steve Garrahan and Kurt Drake, the story of the new pizza shop begins with basic practical considerations accompanying Bright Ice\u2019s expansion. As\u00a0SPR tells the story, Bright Ice has been growing fast, and the production the company was doing in a commercial kitchen space could no longer keep up with how much ice cream Bright Ice moves.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, Garrahan and Drake bought the space they\u2019re opening a pizza shop in for what were, initially, purely ice-cream-related purposes. But finding the space big enough for a little something more, they settled on Kitty\u2019s House of Pizza, which will be a takeout-focused pizza parlor with a streamlined menu of \u201cfive to nine pizzas, a couple pasta dishes, some sides, and pints of our ice cream as dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kitty\u2019s House of Pizza is expected to open in early 2026. In the meantime, you can head to one of Bright Ice\u2019s four scoop shops to check out specialty ice cream flavors like Blueberries with Cinnamon, Caramelized Bananas with Peanut Butter and Honey, Espresso with Kahlua, Deepest Darkest Chocolate Secret, and more.<\/p>\n<p>What Now reached out to Steve Garrahan on Friday to ask about the details on Kitty\u2019s House of Pizza\u2019s upcoming menu.
