50 Best Pizza Restaurants in St. Louis

“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.“

“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 “

“Absolutely DELISH and some pretty darn fantastic people. 10 out of 10, 💯 recommend!!“

“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“

“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?“

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

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

“The pizza, salads, appetizers, customer service is absolutely amazing! We've been going there for a long time. Even with the changing of ownership it's continued to be amazing and maybe even improved what we thought was already perfection. The owner even went out of his way to make my son's birthday even better. This is always our one and only place to go out for pizza.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We went there with a pizza pass to try it out. Had been to 15 other places listed on the pass and this one ranks number one. The best Detroit style Delux pizza and fried mushroom EVER.“

“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.“

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

“Best gyro with the nicest staff!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Incredible food and service.“

“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“

“Great service & great food!! We had a couple small issues (burger not done & a soda that was lacking syrup, it was almost all carbonation. It happens! 🙃). The double decker pizza is so good!! My daughter had the chili mac & it was such a huge bowl that we brought more than half of it home. It was yummy!“

“Fast and Friendly service. Delicious pizza and very fresh.

Vegetarian options: There are many options available for vegetarian diets.

Parking: Plenty of open spaces.

Kid-friendliness: N/A“

“Cheap outing if you’ve got a family to feed and on a small budget.
The buffet itself leaves something to be desired besides pizza, however there is a mid salad bar, some basic noodles and sauce as well as desserts like brownies and cinnamon rolls that add some fluff to the plates. drinks are endless and if it’s not to busy, you can ask for special made pizzas with crazy toppings and styles like “chicken and waffle with red onions” that’s probably one of my favorite things about the place.
Tables are generally clean, and the staff is always nice and attentive, however you can tell it’s the kind of place running off minimum wage overall.
Because I’m cheap, I never really get much from the arcade area however I am glad it exists for the kids sake.
My only major gripe about the place is that sometimes it can get a little crowded and chaotic with kids running around and the other people sometimes look/act like hooserish creatures themselves. Otherwise it’s a solid choice for the family to fill up in between the daily hustle and bustle.“

“I was host to approximately 30 to 35 professional people for an evening. The food was unbelievably delicious; and Taylor attended to us flawlessly. She never missed a beat and got it all right. The atmosphere was great in spite of it being a memorial service. There was a second table almost as large as ours, and there was plenty of room to spare. I had shopped around a few places; none of them seemed compatible for my needs. Mitch was the mgr., and he was great as well. He had asked several times how everything was. I had visited the place once more by myself before my return trip home. Great place, great atmosphere, great food, and great service. If you get the chance, go!!“

“Impromptu date night away from the kids lead us to this place! We arrived at peak dinner time- 7:30- and shockingly there was no wait! I can’t imagine this will last for long, because the service is fabulous, and the food is delicious! We have really enjoyed the other restaurants by these guys- and Press does not disappoint! I loved the Lavender cocktail, Husb enjoyed the sweet take on the old fashioned. I also had the beet salad to start- but ate it too fast to get a photo! The smash pizzas have a delicate combination of flavors, are easy to eat and heat up the next day to continue the culinary enjoyment!“

“The food was delicious and perfectly cooked our driver was amazing and so kind! They even called us to make sure we had our food because they had an extra pizza that was exactly like ours. So I give you guys a 20/10 went way over and beyond to make sure we had a great experience!!!!“

“On our first trip to STL we wanted to try a Missouri style pizza and this little shop was right down the road from our Vrbo. The lunch specials were a great value. Our family ordered a few different items and we all sampled them. Everything we tried was tasty. Great job!“

“Guido’s is the best! Every meal I have had there is top notch. It’s our “go to” restaurant!“

“Peyton was a wonderful waitress. The food was the best. Lunch could not have been any better.“

“the service is amazing and the food is delicious!“

“The best hot wings in town! Maybe ANY town!“

“The pizzas some of the best St. Louis style I've had!“

“Love their pizza, emailed asking where to buy as I don't have young ones fund raising. They still haven't bothered to answer my email.edit: TJs reached out to me and apologized for not replying sooner. They sent me a list of places where I can purchase their pizzas and I most definitely will be.Give them a try.“

“The company I work for just ordered two huge pizzas from this establishment. I was seriously impressed! I can’t believe I have passed this place for 20 years and haven’t given it a chance sooner.“

“Great service. Great food. Wonderful staff!“

“I am obsessed! I am new to STL and am so glad that someone recommended Imo’s! The pizza is delicious: a sauce I dream about, lots of toppings and the cheese is so yummy! Not to mention they make a great cauliflower crust for my fellow gluten free folks!“
