New York-style slices just hit St. Pete Beach, with Frankie’s Pizza Window now serving walk-up customers along Gulf Boulevard. The takeout spot began slinging pies on July 3, 2026, and a full Frankie’s restaurant in the same location is slated to follow later this summer. The window is tucked right beside The Luce hotel, giving guests and beachgoers a quick grab-and-go option between the sand and their next swim.
Where It Is
According to St. Pete Catalyst, Frankie’s Pizza Window is located at 6340 Gulf Blvd., directly next to The Luce on St. Pete Beach. The outlet reports that the walk-up window is serving New York-style pizza and confirms both the July 3 opening date and the plan for a larger Frankie’s restaurant to open later this summer. For now, the compact operation is focused on walk-up and takeout orders while the full restaurant space is readied.
Hotel Adds a Casual Slice Option
The Luce’s official site lists Frankie’s Pizza Parlor among the property’s dining and nearby options, describing it as a retro, New York-style pizzeria serving large slices. On its dining page, The Luce also points guests to Sundrop and the Baby Turtle Beach Club as additional on-site choices. The property is managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts, which has been promoting roles tied to the upcoming restaurant.
Staffing and What’s Next
Job postings on the Marriott Careers portal and Crescent’s careers pages list openings for cooks, servers and bartenders at Frankie’s Pizza Parlor, signaling that hiring is underway ahead of the full restaurant launch. For now, the action is all at the window, which is handling walk-up and takeout orders for hotel guests and beach traffic while the larger dining room is finished. We will update when the restaurant sets a firm date for its grand opening.
