Score
Across the available record, Local Pizza Company has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 5, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around two violations compared to roughly six violations earlier on.
The pattern that stands out is “food stored on floor”, which has been cited two times.
Compared to the broader St. Petersburg restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
