The New York Times has named Post Office Pies in Mountain Brook one of “22 of the Best Pizza Places in the United States.”
Post Office Pies is the only Alabama pizzeria on the list, which The Times released today.
“Post Office Pies came to greater Birmingham when John Hall determined that his best path out of Manhattan’s rat race, where he worked in some of the city’s most prestigious restaurants, was to bring craft pizza to his hometown,” Times food writer Brett Anderson writes.
“The Neapolitan pies are expertly made, often highlighting local produce; one draws on the partner Brandon Cain’s experience with Southern barbecue.
“Mr. Hall spends less time in Alabama since opening Restaurant Lola in Bremerton, Wash., an opportunity, he said, that would not have been possible had he not first gone into business for himself.”

Hall and Cain opened the original Post Office Pies in Birmingham’s Avondale neighborhood in 2014 and opened the Mountain Brook location is 2020.
The original Avondale location closed earlier this year.
