Great Eats Award Winner

8th Street Pizza, also known as 8th Dei Pizza, is a New York-style pizzeria located in New Albany, Indiana. Situated inside the Donum Dei Brewery at 3211 Grant Line Rd #3, the establishment offers a unique dining experience by combining classic pizza offerings with a brewery setting. The pizzeria emphasizes community engagement and has a pay-it-forward ethos at its heart, aiming to connect people through the love of pizza.

How it all started.

The origins of 8th Street Pizza trace back to a serendipitous discovery by its founder, Jeff. While seeking a rental space for the nonprofit organization Clean Socks Hope at the old Robinson Nugent factory, Jeff stumbled upon a quaint Baker’s Pride Pizza oven. This discovery sparked the idea of creating a pizzeria that not only serves delicious food but also fosters community spirit and generosity. After operating at various locations, including a stint at The Breakwater, 8th Street Pizza found its current home inside Donum Dei Brewery in October 2024, thanks to the hospitality of Richard and Kim Otey.
