Electric Dough Pizza Co. to open in San Marco

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - June 17, 2025 - PRLog -- CuliVino Hospitality Management and Consulting proudly announces Chef Tom Gray's newest restaurant, Electric Dough Pizza Co., will open on June 18, 2025. Located in the historic San Marco Theatre building, the handmade pizza-centric restaurant offers rectangular artisan pizzas featuring a Roman-style dough with Detroit-style crispy, cheesy edges.

"We are delighted to welcome guests to Electric Dough Pizza Co. to enjoy our new space in this historic building, and our exceptional food and beverage offerings served with heartfelt hospitality," said Gray, who announced the concept and location in 2024. "The San Marco community is close to my heart and I am thrilled to bring a fresh menu and unique ambiance to this iconic location and create an incredible dining destination that the entire family can enjoy."

The atmosphere of Electric Dough Pizza Co.'s 4,200-square-foot interior celebrates the historic theater as a work of art while modernizing the building's interiors with stylish design details and contemporary functionality. For Electric Dough Pizza Co.'s interiors, Gray engaged the Atlanta-based architectural design firm ai3 and Urban Partners Construction of Jacksonville to bring the restaurant's vision to life. A variety of thoughtfully designed spaces throughout the restaurant offer guests the opportunity to enjoy dining experiences for any occasion.

Electric Dough Pizza Co.'s menu focuses on fresh flavors and high-quality "better for you" ingredients. Gray has partnered with Shaping America's Plate Founder and CEO Pam Smith, RDN, and Culinary Innovation Partner Chef Cliff Pleau on Electric Dough Pizza Co's menu. Shaping America's Plate is a leading multi-dimensional food and beverage consultancy firm known for its innovation, delicious wellness and approach to sustainability.

At Electric Dough Pizza Co., the stars of the show are Gray's rectangular artisan pizzas. The name Electric Dough references the Italian-imported electric oven that the pizzas are baked in and the pizza's handmade, long-fermented Roman-style dough. The electric oven produces a pizza with a crispy crust. Along with pizza, Electric Dough Pizza Co. offers seasonally-inspired fresh salads and a rotating selection of gelato and sorbets. Beverages include a full cocktail bar, domestic and imported beer, and wine, along with organic craft sodas and zero-proof offerings. Electric Dough Pizza Co. also has a retail area offering take-and-bake frozen pizzas, fresh pastas, from-scratch sauces, house made pimento cheese and other products to enjoy at home.

General Manager Emily Scott leads the Electric Dough Pizza Co. team. The new restaurant is a counterpart to Gray's two full-service Jacksonville restaurants, Prati Italia at the St. Johns Town Center, and Town Hall, situated a few storefronts from the San Marco Theatre location.
