BATON ROUGE — Prince St. Pizza opens its first Louisiana location on Friday along Siegen Lane.

The shop will open at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 9, with a free slice of pizza for the first 50 people in line. Jon Jones, a former UFC champion in two divisions who signed on as a partner in August, will appear at the grand opening.

The Baton Rouge menu will include the Spicy Spring, The Naughty Pie, classic New York rounds, Caesar and Italian chopped salads, smoked mozzarella sticks and desserts. The company says it makes sauce daily and puts the dough through a water filtration process built to mimic New York tap water.

The Baton Rouge pizzeria will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until midnight Friday and Saturday. Seating, takeout and catering will be available.

Prince St. Pizza opened in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood in 2012 and the company says the brand is rooted in the Morano family's generations old recipes. According to the company, it has 21 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
