New Italian Restaurant Cerveau opens on Spring Garden Street
The Plane Jane is Cerveau's signature cheese pizza created by Joe Hunter

CALLOWHILL (WPVI) -- The founder of the former Pizza Brain in Kensington, Joe Hunter, opened Cerveau this past November.

The restaurant offers house-made pastas and sourdough-crust pizza. The Plane Jane is Cerveau's signature cheese pizza, and the crab rangoon is a favorite with lump crab, cream cheese, and sweet chili.

When Pizza Brain closed in the Summer of 2024, Joe received an opportunity to expand the Pizza Brain brand into a 5,000-square-foot space on Spring Garden Street.

Now called Cerveau, which is French for "brain," he has a bar where you can catch a game and sip on beer, wine, and cocktails, both with and without alcohol.

Chef Joe hopes Cerveau will become a place where people gather for food and fun.
