I tried this place out for the first time yesterday. It was amazing!! The service was good, plenty of space, a little chilly but the owner adjusted the air, and a wide variety of food. Their salad was a little boring just lettuce, cheese,a cucumber, and slither of a tomato; but the rest of the food was delicious! I chose the calzone. It was loaded with mozzarella and pepperoni (hold the ricotta). My sister chose a stromboli that looked good and she got a slice of pizza and it was so good. We'll definitely be back!

Not to shabby

I miss the old days

Really good New York style pizza... Sorry we have just been there twice and got pizza both times... They have other menu items that look great but the pizza was so good, why would I get anything else...

THE best NY style pizza in the St Louis/St Charles Counties area! Great crust, the best sauce and great mozzarella cheese! If they served fries and Coke products they they’d have it all!

The garlic knots (appetizer) were raw in the middle. The lettuce was old and discolored. The pizza was okay, but not their usual quality

Loved the new york style pizza

All the lights were off which was pretty gloomy considering how full the place was.

Delicious! Similar to Sbarro’s but even better. This is a popular “cheat” meal for my husband and I. We get it to go a lot—half cheese, half pepperoni. We always have friendly service. Sometimes it takes some time when they are busy but so worth it!

This is the second time in as many months that I’ve gone there for a slice of pizza and a drink for lunch. The first time a middle-age lady was sitting in the booth next to me talking very loudly on her cell phone to the point where it did not allow me to have an enjoyable lunch. The second time I went for lunch as I was getting ready to order a middle-age man was sitting in the booth near where I was going to sit, and he also seemed to be conducting business on his cell phone using the speaker phone on his phone. He was extremely Loud in his talking, and at that point, I told the waiter at the counter that I was not going to order because I didn’t want to again have my meal spoiled by someone talking. I then discovered that both the original person and this person were the owner and his wife Conducting business at the booth where the customer sit. When I go for lunch, I don’t need to have someone talking at the top of their voice on the phone a few feet from me.

After getting home with my Calzone, I realized right away that it wasn't the same Racanellis I had know for 2 decades. The Calzone was doughy and mostly ricotta cheese, hardly any mozzarella cheese at all. When I called them right back and asked if John Racanelli still owned the business, I was told no he sold it. Last time we had a pizza from them it was the same doughy experience. The recipes have been changed, the quality is gone and so is the taste of their food. Totally disappointed ☹️ No longer will I recommend them to anyone. I actually knew John Racanelli, I come from New York myself and praised his Pizza over all others around . . Not anymore, run . . Run away!

Really nice little spot.
Pizza crust was nice and crispy, and the flavor was nicely balanced. Slightly greased, but that can be soaked up with a napkin.

Staff was friendly and upbeat.
HUGE Single Slices.

I think we will give up on this place after tonight.We’ve loved this place for years but I think after tonight being hung up multiple times since 8:30 we will never order from here again unless they change customer service. The pizza is good but not good enough to hang up on customers.. The service has just gotten awful. . Would love to hear feedback from someone in management. I’ll suggest going to Pizza ranch, any Papa John’s, Mellow Mushroom, East Coast Pizza (much better customer service), and I live less than a mile away from this place.
