Discover the Heart of St. Pete Certified
Elevating St. Petersburg’s Community Through Connection and Creativity
Our Story
Founded in 2025 by lifelong St. Petersburg natives, St Pete Certified began as a simple passion project: to shine a spotlight on the restaurants, events, artists, and hidden gems that make our city so special. What started as a handful of neighborhood guides quickly grew into a thriving digital publication and community hub. Today, our mission remains the same: to celebrate and connect the people, businesses, and experiences that give St. Petersburg its unique spark.
