ST. PETERSBURG — Ciccio Restaurant Group will open On the Fly, a food hall featuring the company’s Taco Dirty, Sweet Soul and Better Byrd concepts, on Nov. 16 in St. Petersburg.

Courtesy. Taco Dirty is the latest Ciccio Restaurant Group concept to join the On the Fly food hall, set to open Nov. 16 in St. Petersburg.

Located at 4447 Fourth St. N., the food hall will be open for dine-in service. It will also offer pickup orders via its website and delivery service through Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub and Postmates.

“On The Fly is not only CRG’s first food hall, but one of the only concepts in Tampa/St. Pete that allows you to order from multiple restaurants online at one time,” CRG Founder James Lanza states in a press release. “The way people experience food has been continuously changing since the pandemic began, and we wanted to offer people the option to enjoy fresh, healthy, reasonably priced food however they are most comfortable. Whether you experience OTF in-person or from the comfort of your own home, we are hoping to appeal to our guests’ diverse tastes.”

Although not in the main food hall, the release states, another Ciccio restaurant brand, Fresh Kitchen, is located in the same building and shares outdoor seating with the other three concepts.
