50 Best Pizza Restaurants near Clayton

“Great food. Awesome appetizers!“

“Walk in pizza joint. No dine in option. Place was clean and well kept. Pizza was perfect. Parking was street parking or a small parking lot behind the building.

Parking: Street parking and small parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly. But it's not meant to be. You go here to pick up pizza and leave.“

“My absolute favorite pizza. Can't go wrong.“

“I went to Pizzeoli last night with a group of friends and had an amazing dining experience. We started off with the Deep Fried Chanterelles and Chili-kissed Garlic Knots - the chantrellles were delicious and came with a chili ranch sauce that I would love bottled for home use. The garlic knots were a cut above your normal pizza place fare - melted in my mouth and garlic to butter proportions were perfectly balanced. It should be noted that their drink menu is extensive (along with their pizza menu - so many great options!). I chose the Athletic Cerveza - a great Non-alcoholic beer that ranks as a personal fav. I also like that Pizzeoli had multiple NA options as a non-drinker. On to the main course - my group chose the Andy (a current special with white sauce and mushrooms), the Lumberjack Snack (pep and bacon on red sauce) and the Meatball pizza (as recommended per their chef - meatballs on white sauce!). All three were delicious and cooked to perfection - the right amount of bubbles in the perfectly thin curst. I kept trying to choose a favorite and couldn't decide - would personally recommend a white sauce pizza but the red was also awesome! The grand finale was a banana split dessert pizza and ice cream sandwiches. A hot dessert pizza with the perfect cool toppings, I'd stop in just for an after meal treat some time. The ice cream sandwiches were delectable and fun to share with the table too. The atmosphere of Pizzeoli transported me to a simpler time when going to a neighborhood pizza place meant a friendly staff, unique decorations (check out the light shades over the tables!) and quality craftsmanship. A new favorite - highly recommend!“

“Fantastic lunch special and fast service“

“The menu only reflects vegan pizza, but there are a lot more options! The wait staff is always very knowledgeable and will point out everything on the menu that can be made vegan. The pesto is vegan and very good! They even made one of the drinks without honey and the bread that comes to the table is vegan.“

“Excellent pizza! We will definitely be back! And to top it the off customer service is phenomenal!!“

“By far the best pizza I’ve had in my life and I’m 40 years old. I’ve tried my fair share of pie across the US and this takes the trophy. Oh ya, you’ll get a trophy too mark my words.“

“So happy I was able to try Pizza Head today! I had pepperoni slices and it was THE BEST VEGAN PIZZA ? I have found so far!!! Thank you so much for helping me find my favorite comfort food today. I will definitely be in to see you all again and will be looking for your truck at events?“

“Long much needed POSITIVE Post. Please scroll to the ***** to see what I got. I was working a private event with Blues Fired Pizza on Saturday and as I was closing the truck door to begin prepping and service, a friendly warm voice from an older gentleman said “Hello!” From the side as he was talking to the event coordinator. After shift I stuck around to wander the area and wanted to check out their truck. I met Steve (that friendly warm voice that had greeted me hours before) and he asked me how I was and how we did. Asked me if I’d like to order anything. I was shocked because I didn’t want to assume I could also order- having not been part of the event. I asked if it was okay and he said “Sure! We have to take care of our own!” With a genuine smile on his face. I heard stories of this industry being a cut-throat business. I was more than willing to pay for my pizza but Steve assured me it was okay. (I did drop a tip in their tip can) 🙂 ***** I had the 8" Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. Garlic/Ranch Sauce, Chicken, Bacon, Jalapeño, Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese. (Pictured) It was AMAZING! I’m so tired of these big chain pizza places and I’m sooo happy that I went to Blues Fired Pizza’s truck! The dough was fresh, soft, and had that fire oven taste and crisp. You can tell the dough is made from scratch. I’ve driven past them numerous times in Kirkwood at their little pizza shack… but never stopped in. I’ll be glad to come by and order for sure! I greatly appreciated the hospitality. It was a great service and experience. Thank you, Steve!!! It was very nice to have met you, Sam, and Brian! I hope to see y’all sometime. -The other Sam.“

“Excellent service and experience at Delmar! The food is great and the atmosphere is fun!“

“we were looking for a place to have lunch and happened to find this restaurant. we parked and the first thing we noticed was the smell of the pizza. we ordered a half and half pizza. on one side was a taco pizza. it is the best we have ever had. The crust was so good. We also had the classic salad which was very good. This is a place we would highly recommend going back to.“

“Nothing else served but Great pizza, better than Imos. There are lots of toppings on the pizzas ?. Not a whole bunch of parking available, only have maybe 7 to 9 places to park, street parking is available though. Only have passible seating for around 50 people inside the restaurant. Free refills on sodas, iced tea. Great overall dining experience. Will be going back there again.“

“DELICIOUS! Some of the best pizza I have had in the area! I tried the Chicago style and a thin crust… they were both SO good!“

“We love Montebello’s best hidden gym in the city and family owned!“

“Good food and drinks! A nice local place.“

“Great pizza and wings! The atmosphere is perfect!“

“The food and service was amazeballs. It was our first time having the toasted ravioli and they were incredible!“

“Their online ordering site says they have curbside pickup and I parked out front where several signs indicate the number to text for curbside pickup. The response received indicated their pick up staff have been cut and I should come in to get my order. I would not have ordered had I known curbside pickup was unavailable. I called and told a staff member I couldn't come in and requested a refund. She asked me what type car I had and said she would send the order out. It took more than 15 minutes and a second phone call before they brought it out. (Another car pulled up during this time and received curbside delivery while I still waited.)“

“Randomly picked a non-chain pizza place and Eni's was the winner. Surprisingly they are a hybrid pizzeria & Mexican joint. Super clean! Friendly staff! Super yummy food! Of course we tried the fire roasted pizza, but I did choose an infusion by getting the Pastor Pizza. Definitely coming back to try the Mexican meals too.“

“Great Food, Great Service!! We recommend adding more beer options“

“Hands down best Detroit style and St. Louis Style (Imos is garbage compared to this place) in the St. Louis area!“

“I had to double check and make sure it was actually gluten free crust - sooooooooo goooooood!!!!“

“Onesto is fabulous. We have been visiting for years, and it is always good. The pizza is really good and a large is very generously sized. They are known for their Sangria, which is constantly in rotation. All the kinds we have tried have been great. Their beer and wine selections are very good too.“

“I have had a lot of food from Loafers over the past few years but never had enough information to write a review! They serve a more cafe-style menu during lunch, offering amazing soups, sandwiches and salads. I have eaten lunch at Loafers many times and loved every experience. During dinner service, they serve their amazing pizzas, which I only got to experience for the first time recently. We went with another couple and ended up getting their spinach pizza and their seasonal pizza, which had far too many elements to name. Both pizzas were amazing. The service was great, though they did seem to want to turn the table quickly, understandably, as they are quite busy constantly. Highly recommend this space, as it is not unreasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food and service you receive.“

“Excellent very thin crust and plenty of ingredients. Highly recommend! Check out their specials!“

“Pizza qnd staff are always awesome! My favorite pizza place 😋“

“I ordered for pick up, so I can't really say anything either way about the atmosphere, but that was the best pizza we've had around town. We don't venture far, so I'm sure there are some great pizzas out there, but you need to try Pirrone's!“

“I used live in Mississippi and I would drive up from Mississippi just to get Faraci pizza and I liked all of their pizzas and salad. All of Faraci’s food on their menu was yummy. That I live in the lake of the Ozarks it’s a lot closer for me and I would drive up and order pizzas And bring them back. The Faraci special, the hamburger bacon, and the pepperoni and pineapple or my favorites but I will eat just about anything from that restaurant. Prices are reasonable and if you don’t think they are, that’s not faraci fault , that’s is JB fault.“

“OMG. THIS IS SOOOOO YUMMY!! GOT FRIES WITH MY GYRO - they were hot & freash!!! Will be back. (It might be tomorrow) 😊😊“

“had the wings with two sides today. everything was delicious“

“Friendly staff, but slow. A lot of their food looks good but I've only had the pizza, which I always find a little disappointing (always a burnt edge and just not something to write home about). The highlight is the atmosphere and the great live jazz music. Definitely a community spot with lots of regulars.“

“Great food, fresh ingredients, & friendly staff. The owner Burt is amazing! You have to try this place, you’ll definitely go back for more!“

“Great place. Great pizza and they didn't skim on the many toppings. The guy making the pizza was very helpful and made a great pizza. I had a wonderful time with my family while having the Mastodon Pizza. The indoor dining was for small groups, but there were picnic tables outside to accommodate our group of 8.“

“Incredible food and service.“

“My husband has been dying to try Katie's for some time now. We made our way here excited to experience real, fresh, delicious Italian food. Instantly walking up there's a nice outdoor vibe, not overly fancy, but very pleasant with outdoor lights, plenty of shaded area, plants for decor, and seating for various group sizes. The inside is also a fresh and modern decor. You're instantly greeted to be seated inside or out. I noticed right away their branding, pasta to cook at home and sauces for sale. The pasta is near white, which you know means it's real! So we knew we were in for a treat. Upon being seated we looked over the menu and couldn't decide what to try (note: there is a lot of Italian lingo on the menu). Luckily, with the help of our very friendly and sweet waitress, she was able to give us her recommendations and explain some of the other options to us. We decided to go all out and get started with bread service and the cheese sticks (note: some names of items were more Italian-I'm giving you the English cliff note version). That bread is AMAZING!!!! So fresh and delicious!! I loved the airy texture and simple but yet delicious flavor of the simplicity of fresh ingredients and love. The flake salt on top just hit the nail on the head. As for the cheese sticks, the breading was a softer texture but crispy from the cook. They were very large in size with a fresh cheese inside. Hot and delicious. The theme to this review is definitely how much you can taste the freshness and overall care and dedication this chef has to their food. It comes served with a side of marinara. There were 6 sticks total (our picture was a little late). We ended up choosing a pepperoni pizza (just plain style not the ezzo on the menu with spice and honey-my husband let me have my way), the fiama Marla bolognese, & the kids marinara spaghetti. The pizza was everything and more! Thin but fluffy crust, tons of flavor, cheese was the perfect ratio with a good amount of pepperoni too. It is not overly sauced, which we both enjoyed. Again, super fresh, perfect consistency on the crust and delectable flavor! My son (pickiest eater alive-meaning we had to flip the spaghetti over so that it hid the Parmesan Romano) LOVED his spaghetti! The noodles were more al dente than I cook them, but yet it tasted perfect! Both the hubs and I said we'd totally get the spaghetti with meatballs on our next visit. Now, as for the bolognese, we actually did not care for this one. It had a different, almost bitter taste we couldn't identify. The noodles in it though, so fresh and cooked perfectly!!! Plus, they were thick and delicious like no where else in St. Louis. All the portions were large, even the kids! They are also sauced in the best way, not overly sauced. I think what we figured out was that this place doesn't have to over compensate for anything because they use quality ingredients that they let shine in their cooking-it's that freshness and care that they are able to share the story of real Italian food! We loved that! It definitely shines at Katie's! Our waitress did a great job to come back and check in with us about flavors and any needs we might have-even with two young kids with us, she acknowledged them too. To our surprise when we advised at the boxing stage that we just didn't care for the bolognese, she had her manager come out and he apologized, even though it was our taste we made clear that was probably the issue, not them. In the end, he still comped that plate-not at all necessary, but overly gracious and it really shows of how much their service matters to them. That in itself rates high with us! You just don't find that kind of hospitality anywhere now days. We really felt like we were part of a family coming here to eat. That's just how they treated you. In addition they have a ton of Italian desserts we saved for the next trip, as well as a great wine list and Coke products for drinks. The restrooms were clean and everything was well kept. We couldn't be “

“Delish! Great place to eat for the whole family!“

“The Chicago deep dish was recommended to me, so I ordered for take out. It was SO delicious that I ordered it again the next night along with some extras and everything was perfection. This is the deep dish pizza that I have been looking for for years. Now I have my co-workers and my family all stuck on it. Great food at reasonable prices Highly recommend!“

“Oh man!!..this place is like another world..the floors are the most beautiful listic floors i have ever seen. I touched it and it was so smooth and it looks like if you haven't sweep or mop the floor you can't tell it's dirty..Man..smh..ya'll gots to go just to see the floors!!!..oh yea..the pizza was deeliousss tooo...“

“I've heard Blackthorn was the place to go in St. Louis for deep dish pizza. I was not misled! I went for dinner with my cousin and his wife. We got a 16" deep dish with pepperoni, sausage, and green peppers. It was phenomenal! The cheese pull on this thing was ridiculous, so cheesy! Two pieces ko'd me. The crust was perfect! Crispy on the bottom and soft and fluffy directly under the toppings. Perfect for a fork and knife. I'm a huge fan of deep dish pizza, and this will be my go to from now on! Highly recommend!“

“The wings are some of the best I’ve ever had in my life PERIOD!! The beer is ice cold as well🍻 I highly advise stopping if your in town!!“

“I have dined in and had delivery (twice). All experiences were great. Although the first time I ordered delivery, was Saturday night after the Mardi Gras parade🤦🏼‍♀️. The food took a bit to get here but was still fantastic, and it was 100% my fault for horrible timing. The last delivery was super fast and the food, again, was outstanding. This has quickly become one of my favorite go to places. Dining in, this place is COOL. Tons of pin ball machines, the vibe is totally chill and the paint cans that were used on the murals act as the bottom rail of the bar. HIGHLY recommend“

“Drove to STL to visit the Laumeier Sculpture Park. Stopped by Mellow Mushroom for some food before the drive home. SO happy we did, we never heard of Mellow Mushroom but it quickly became one of my new favorite Pizza places. Such a cool ambiance! We got the Maui wowie and the funky Q chicken! 10/10 also; amazing crust!“

“Our favorite pizza place for the past few years! I’ve lived in the area for a very long time, but didn’t really even know they existed. We ordered because of a coupon we got in the mail. This has been our go to place for the past several years. I love that they have several different sides, a variety of salads, and their pizzas are delicious. They are always consistent, we’ve never had a bad order from this place.“

“We ordered two cauliflower crust, all-vegetable pizzas to-go yesterday afternoon. While the pizzas were prepared very nicely (in terms of topping layout and quantity) by an employee, the pizzas were both burned to different degrees - one quite a bit and the other partially. This situation required us to return to Mod Pizza when we opened the pizza boxes at a nearby park. **We want to thank Charlie, Manager at Mod Pizza-Kirkwood, for his courtesy and professionalism yesterday in resolving our concerns.** Charlie and the employee who helped us earlier today made things right for us, and we feel much better about returning to this particular Mod Pizza in the future! We also want to give our great thanks to Mod Pizza-Kirkwood employee Ethan who was outstanding—very conscientious, warm, and professional—during a previous visit to this location.

We very much appreciate Mod’s rich assortment of vegetables and the non-white flour option (i.e., the cauliflower crust).

A few requests for Mod Pizza as a company:

1.) Please train your Staff to consistently uphold standards of courtesy and professionalism. Some are excellent (courteous and thorough) and others are not particularly friendly and don't seem especially motivated to make sure that the food is well-prepared from start to finish.

2.) Please cut your broccoli much larger. For the pizzas prepared for us today, the broccoli was almost completely burned, and inedible. Our experience (in pizza-making at home) is that if the broccoli pieces are large, they won’t get burned.

3.) Please put the raw garlic on your pizza after the pizza is taken from the oven; if the garlic is cooked with the pizza, it comes out charred.

4.) In regard to dietary restrictions:

a.) Please find a way to make your cauliflower crust vegan. We had been advised by another Mod Pizza location that the cauliflower crust is vegan, but it turns out that that other location apparently gave us the incorrect information!

b.) Please offer a vegan, whole-wheat crust option.

Thanks so much for carefully reading through our feedback!

Dietary restrictions: -We love the rich assortment of vegetable options

-Please find a way to make your cauliflower crust vegan. We had been advised by another Mod Pizza location that the cauliflower crust is vegan, but it turns out that that other location apparently gave us the incorrect information!

-Please offer a vegan, whole-wheat crust option.“
