Score
Inspectors have visited Louie's Cheesesteaks and Pizza seven times, with records going back to 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 6, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about 18 violations before that.
Across the inspection history, “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.
Compared to the broader St. Augustine restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
