Saints Island Pies specializes in pizzas with toppings influenced by Filipino cuisine. With a square shape and thick crust, the pies are best compared to Detroit-style pizzas but feature a rice flour dough and a distinctive tomato sauce made with chilli, garlic, lemongrass and roasted onions. Toppings range from longanisa sausage to coconut braised greens. Sides like a Caesar salad topped with crumbled chicharron also pay homage to owners’ Sean Santos’ and Chuck Ortiz’s shared Filipino heritage.
