Best Pizza In St. Louis According To Me

Best Pizzas In St. Louis

1. #1 Best Pizza In St. Louis

   Pizza Head

   9.2/10 Pizza Rating $18.00/pizza

   Pizza Head Takeaway. Perfect Pizza That Tastes Like New Jersey. Pizza Head in Tower Grove made my night last night. This pizza tastes exactly like New Jersey. Perfect sauce-to-cheese ratio. Super thin undercarriage that maintains its structure. A bit chewy, but still crisp. Brought me back to being a kid.

   At 9.2 / 10, this is in the top 5% of pizzas I've had in my life. The 8/10 crust held it back from scoring even higher. $18 for 20" weighing 40 oz is the BEST VALUE non-Dominos/Costco division. CRAZY. And you can order by the slice.

   The best pizza in St. Louis.

   Take out only. Order online to schedule pickup. You pickup or order from a very small window. Street parking in downtown Tower Grove.

   Union Loafers

   9.1/10 Pizza Rating $15.00/pizza

   Union Loafers Takeaway. The Crown Jewel Of St. Louis. My favorite St. Louis restaurant. 8/10 Salad. 8.9/10 Sandwiches. 9.1/10 Pizza. 10/10 Sourdough Bread.

   The Simone Biles of STL food.

   Always order a loaf. Get anything with bread. ~$8 bread. $8 salad. $15 sandwiches. It's expensive. Ask your parents to take you when they come to town. Twenty minutes to an hour for pick up. Ordering pizza can be a pain. Parking is easy on side streets with a three-minute walk. Tip: Try a pizza rosa with chili oil at lunch. Note: Pizza review coming in the future.

   Pie Guy Pizza

   8.2/10 Pizza Rating $20.00/pizza

   Pie Guy Pizza Takeaway. Pie Guy are my guys for pizza. 8.2 / 10 pizza is great for a Friday night with friends. Standard plain pizza with above-average sauce, cheese, crust, and crunch. $20 for an 18" pie that weighs 34.4 oz is very reasonably priced for St. Louis. Give them thirty minutes to an hour on Friday or Saturday night. Friendly service and great vibes with pizza murals. Parking can be hard on Manchester, so you might need to drive around. Not a great place to hop out to pick up the pizza.

   Pizzeria Da Gloria

   8.1/10 Pizza Rating $17.00/pizza

   Pizzeria Da Gloria Takeaway. A Shining Example Of Wood-Fired Pizza On The Hill. I'm not a wood-fired pizza guy, but this is my favorite in St. Louis so far. Comes in at a very respectable 8.1 / 10 pizza score. The top-notch sauce carries the pizza. A little too many cheeses for me. Very good crunchy crust. The undercarriage isn't crispy enough because it's wood-fired. The pizza is the most expensive I've measured in St. Louis thus far, coming in at $1.09 per oz.

   One of my top five best pizzas in St. Louis.

   Service was standard the one time we ate inside about two years ago. I ordered online this weekend, and it was ready on schedule. Street parking in The Hill can be tricky at prime time, but I found a spot on the side street for pickup at 5:30 pm.

   Dewey's Pizza

   7.9/10 Pizza Rating $18.95/pizza

   Dewey's Pizza Takeaway. Delightful Pizza and Salad. Dewey's is my sleeper hit. For $18, you get a solid 17" cheese pizza that comes in at 7.9 / 10 on my pizza scale. Top-notch sauce combines with a solid undercarriage and cheese. The middle-of-the-road crust holds it back from higher scores.

   We always pair a pizza with a salad. We go with the house as our standard salad, but today, they had a seasonal harvest salad. They did a fantastic job of matching flavors. A+.

   Dewey's is super family-friendly. They bring the food to the car curbside, which makes it go great. If you eat in, it's spacious and loud, which means no one can hear your kids. Parking is in a dedicated lot.

   Vito's Sicilian Pizzeria & Ristorante

   7.6/10 Pizza Rating $14.00/pizza

   Vito's Sicilian Pizzeria & Ristorante Takeaway. All your pizza needs near SLU and the Fox. Margarita pizza came in at a 7.6 / 10 pizza score. Absolutely perfectly cooked with a crunchy undercarriage throughout. Fresh basil and tomatoes carried the pizza, while cheese and sauce were menzamenz. Overall, it was an extremely solid pizza for anyone on SLU's campus or going to the Fox Theatre.

   I ordered my pizza ahead of time via the website. It was ready ten minutes early and piping hot. Based on initial times in the app, I got the impression that you should order at least 30 minutes ahead of time.

   Fantastic hours. Vito's is only the second pizza place I've found open at lunchtime during the week in St. Louis. Open 7 days a week.

   Parking in a small dedicated lot on the west side of the building. Also plenty of street parking.

   Katie's Pizza and Pasta

   7.1/10 Pizza Rating $20.00/pizza

   Katie's Pizza And Pasta Takeaway. Family-friendly pizza and pasta. 7.1/10 pizza with good flavor, but could use a crispier crust. $18+ for a personal pizza is expensive. Gave kids pizza dough to play with. Movies on in the background. Fun, festive feel. Parking is easy in a dedicated lot. Service was slow to start but picked up.

   Peel Wood Fired Pizza

   7/10 Pizza Rating $16.00/pizza

   Peel Wood Fired Pizza Takeaway. Pizza that will always have a place for you. 7 / 10 Margherita pizza. Very good, crunchy crust with excellent mozzarella balls. Sauce is a bit liquidity and sweet. Expensive and small, I could eat a whole pizza myself. My friends liked the crazy garlic chicken and mushroom pizza more than I ever would. Those didn't have sauce, and the chicken was dry, but the crust was still strong. $16-19 for a pizza, depending on specialty.

   Everyone but me had a beer, mocktail, or cocktail. The salads are huge. We had four pizzas, two salads, and two apps for eight adults. ~$40/person after tax and tip.

   I called ten places on Thursday, and Peel was the only one with space for a table of eight at 7 pm. It's a huge restaurant. Service was slow, but we were not in a rush. Parking is a pain in the butt.

   Dr. Office Pizza

   7/10 Pizza Rating $6.99/pizza

   Dr. Office Pizza Takeaway. Slinging Pizzas After Surgery. 7.0 / 10 cheese pizza hits the Flood Line. A 12" pizza weighs about 10 oz. Specialty honey garlic scallion pushes 8.0 / 10. Great value as they trade Dr. Brown's soda for pizza.

   Appointment only. Very homey feel. The head chef has an excellent kitchen-side manner and talks to you the whole time. Between him throwing pizzas in the air and chatting you up, it's basically Hibachi pizza. Games are available in the sitting area after dinner. Parking is available in a dedicated lot or on the street.

    Nicky Slices Pizza Club

    6.9/10 Pizza Rating $20/pizza

    Nicky Slices Pizza Club Takeaway. St. Louis's Secret Detroit Style Pizza. Big disclaimer: It was the first time I ever had Detroit-style pizza. I'm a NJ pizza purist. 6.9 / 10 pizza score. We got the OG cheese for $20 base, up to $27 after mandatory tax, tip, and fee.

    Light and fluffy crust with a delicious crunch around the edge. It had an uneven cheese and sauce distribution. Good focaccia, ok pizza. Doesn't cross the Flood Line.

    The only way to find out about Nicky Slice, besides this article, is on Instagram. My buddy told me about it. They open up ordering on Monday night at 6 pm. They usually sell out by Tuesday or Wednesday night. Then they deliver on Thursday or Friday.

    It comes pre-baked. You have to bake it yourself in three days.

    Worth doing once, but probably not again for me.

    La Pizza

    6.8/10 Pizza Rating $24.00/pizza

    La Pizza Takeaway. I'd give it a 6.8/10 on the cheese pizza. New York-style pizza in St. Louis. Seems like the quality has gone down recently. $25 for a large pie with tax and tip is ~2x Costco. Call ahead 30+ minutes on a Tuesday and 1hr on a Friday. Parking is easy in the front and side. Not really a sit-down restaurant, though they have two tables. Good stromboli and calzones.

    Anthonino's Taverna

    6.6/10 Pizza Rating $14.00/pizza

    Anthonino's Taverna On The Hill Takeaway. Reddit And Yelp Like It A Lot More Than I Do. 6.6 / 10 pizza score. With a sweet, Italian spice flavor, I liked the crust the best. A bit overly cheesy and doughy with the wrong sauce ratio. A classic 13" pizza weighs about 14 oz for $14.

    Always packed with people eating food. We tried to get in on a Saturday night once, but they had a two-hour wait. At lunch at 1:30 on a Thursday, they were 80% full. I ordered pizza ahead of time for pickup, and they had it ready when I got there. Parked right outside on the street, no lot.

    Reddit and Yelp both highly recommend the entire restaurant. As you can tell, more than I did. They recommend trying the toasted ravioli. They have great hours for St. Louis and are one of the only pizza places open for lunch.

    Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery and Bierhall

    6.3/10 Pizza Rating $22.00/pizza

    Urban Chestnut Takeaway. Pizza, beer, and a modern dining palace. Pretzel bites with butter steal the show. 6.3 / 10 wood-fired pizza doesn't break The Flood Line. Fries are a 6.1 / 10.

    Super welcoming with wide open doors. A huge banquet hall dining area with large, beautiful fermenters in the background. Large open terrace in the back when it's warm enough. Smaller pub-style bar in the front. Janky little arcade and billiards cost a couple of doors each to play, but keep kids busy for a bit.

    Order at the front and they text you when ready. Took ~35 minutes to get pizza on a Friday night at 5:30 pm, better than the expected 45 minutes.

    Pizzeoli

    6.2/10 Pizza Rating $16.00/pizza

    Pizzeoli Takeaway. So-So Wood-Fired Pizza In Soulard. 6.2 / 10 pizza. The undercarriage was chewy and saggy. The crust was soggy and chewy, with no crisp. The flavor of the cheese and sauce was above average, but not by much. Reddit pumped me up, as some people call this their favorite pizza, but I came away severely disappointed.

    Amazing pizza place. You walk into a giant, tiled, wood-fired pizza oven. Everything else in the space compliments it. I ordered online for pickup. The pizza was ready 18 minutes before schedule. Parking on the street in Soulard. Outside tables and three or four bar spots are available. More for pickup or delivery.

Costco Pizza

5/10 Pizza Rating $9.95/pizza Tastes Like A Tuesday

Costco Pizza Takeaway. Tastes like a Tuesday. The "everyman pizza". 5/10 pizza. A baseline pizza we can all compare against. Insane value at $10/pizza. Limited options with only cheese and pepperoni. Very cheesey and floppy. Pizza weighs 58.8 oz for $.17/oz, which is crazy. Dominos is $.30/oz. One of the few places you can order by the slice for $1.99.

Tip: Call ahead and order via the food court saves waiting there for 20+ minutes.

You need to be a member. Parking is easy and convenient with the new UCity location off of I-170.

Pizzas That Didn't Make The Cut

1. Domino's Pizza

   4/10 Pizza Rating $10.39/pizza

   Domino's Pizza Takeaway. My kids' favorite pizza. I give the country's biggest slinger of pizza a 4 / 10. It's not good pizza, but it's pizza, so I'll eat it if someone else buys it. I've found that the Brooklyn-style pizza is my "favorite." The underlying problem is the overly sweet sauce and dough.

   Pro tip: Make sure to use the app for the coupons. I normally use the 20% off coupon, but depending on your order, you might find a better deal. Without the coupon, Domino's isn't super cheap. In my opinion, Costco is a better deal in terms of both price and quality. A 14" pizza that weighs roughly 35 oz only costs $10.39 after the coupon. $.30/oz is incredibly cheap for non-Costco pizza.

   Use the app for ordering and tracking. They are so close that I always pick it up.
