La Nouvelle is the next story in our culinary journey. This opportunity to bring French Nouveau cuisine to our city has us so excited. Bringing to the helm Matthieu Landillon from the coastal city of Marseille, La Nouvelle allows Chef Michael to explore classic French Bistro fare with an elevated edge. The atmosphere will lead you to the streets of Paris without leaving St. Augustine.

Magic Beach Pizza isn’t a place—it’s a state of mind. We believe in fearless flavor, cheeky names, and making food that feels like a good time. This is where beach vibes meet chef-driven magic. Where pepperoni cups sizzle like they’re on vacation and hot honey drizzles like its golden hour. Every pie is a little over the top—in the best way possible. Every pizza tells a story, and maybe even casts a little spell.
