Looking for Mr. Goodpizza: The Post

The Post is famous for its oversize, New York City style pizza by the slice, which changes daily. Spicy sausage, banana peppers, and feta cheese did well by this tasty slab.


I love pizza. You know that. I consider it one of nature’s most perfect foods, a balanced and nutritious blend of fat, protein, and mmm, mmm. carbs in a delicious meal on a plate that you can eat with your fingers or, if you must, knife and fork.

I’m so fond of this treat from Naples by way of New York City, widely modified across the United States and made indisputably our own, that I could review it every week if only my editors would let me.

But lately, it seems, I’ve been striking out on pizza just often enough to make me wonder if my tastes are changing or if pizza is. I’m feeling the need to ingest some really good pizza to restore my faith in humankind. So this week we headed over to The Post in Germantown, a place widely celebrated as one of Louisville’s best.

The Post gets its name from its location in an old Germantown shotgun house that was long home to Lone Wolf Post #5636 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The vets’ heritage remains in a large 48-star American flag respectfully hung on a back wall and in a stylized wing-and-star logo that one imagines might have once adorned a World War II aircraft.

The Post’s menu puts pizza up front and center, as it should. You can buy by the oversize slice, New York City style, at $5 for a giant cheese slice, pepperoni slice, or the slice of the day. ...

Noise Level: The rooms were packed on a Saturday, but thanks perhaps to its spacious layout and high raftered ceiling, conversation was possible. Sound levels averaged 73.1dB with peaks to 79.2dB.

Accessibility: Thanks to effective and extensive ramps, the old building appears fully accessible to wheelchair users and everyone.

The Post is our go-to pizza joint, and not just because of its proximity. My wife is particularly fond of the spinach salad. The value of their slices is hard to beat, and I find they truly indulge my urge to fold the slice and take that first pointy bite. Good stuff. I lost track of the number of times we picked up for a picnic in the park during the worst of Covid as they have a great curbside operation.

Steve, those many takeout picnics in the park almost make me nostalgic for the pit of the pandemic, but of course they don't.

The Post is good, but for our personal preference next time go directly across the street for a pie/slice/salad/whatever at AF!

I had the calzone at The Post a few weeks ago. They have 2 kinds of cheeses base, one of them is ricotta. It reminds me of the calzone at Luigi's downtown, only about twice as big. It was really good.
