    Large Cheese Pizza (Add Your Own Toppings)
    Maddie G.

    The food was great as always, pizza was fire and the mozzarella stix did not disappoint especially on the cheese pull however the sweet tea tasted a little funky. The server was okay, she did the bare minimum of her job so I can't really complain. Ambiance was okay as well not much to look at but usually you take pizza to go instead of sitting in the restaurant. Overall still my fav place to order pizza from!

    That pepperoni & bacon pie though

    This is the pinnacle of St. Louis style pizza, and it's not particularly close. Many will have you think that *a certain competitor with a larger geographical footprint that rhymes with Teemo's* is somehow in the conversation, but rest assured that people who think this are objectively and technically incorrect. As a matter of fact, when people say they don't like STL style pizza, they typically point the finger at said competitor, and there's a reason for that. Cecil Whittaker's has the best crunchy crust, semi-sweet sauce, gloriously melty provel cheese, variety of fresh toppings, and that magical seasoning. It's really just not fair how good this pizza is. For those curious how el presidente would rate this: 8.4, not his style, but elite nonetheless. As for this specific location/visit...amusingly my buddies and I stopped at the Wentzville location first only to find that it's a carry-out only store. No big deal, roll down to O-town at K & N for a sit down experience. The folks had 2 pies out in no time with the typical STL appetizer treats (toasted raviolis, fried shrooms, and that heavenly garlic cheese bread). One buddy loved the bacon/pepperoni offering while the other buddy was enamoured with the buffalo chicken pie. It's impossible to beat phenomenal pizza (at very reasonable prices btw) with great people and top notch service. Easily a 10/10 experience. Sidenote: Please come to KC.

    I have to hand it to the new owners at Cecil Whitaker's Pizza--this is hands down the best CWP I've ever had! Absolutely amazing. I went with the Crazy Deal buy one XL pizza get one half off! Great value. If you tried it before the new ownership, do yourself a favor and give it another shot. The difference is night and day. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. Highly recommended!

    I used to enjoy Monday Night Madness before Covid. Everything was 1/2 off on Monday nights and the place was packed. This then became a carry out only option and with shortages of help - it is now empty - with lots of carry outs. My favorite now is the late night pizza special. A large 2 topping carry out is only $7.99 which is a bargain. I love the sausage and pepperoni or the Canadian ham and pineapple. Order a couple!

    Cold, wet fries glued together with cold, wet cheese

    I hadn't been here in awhile and used to really like their buffalo chicken salad but this time was underwhelming. You can definitely get a better quality salad pretty much anywhere else for $10. I also got the cheese fries... do NOT get the cheese fries! They were wet and the cheese looks like a slice of cheese that was as microwaved and then re-solidified.

    The back door is always open which is a health code violation.

    I grew up around Chicago and I have missed the pizza! I work pretty close to Nancy's , so I had to…read morepick it up and try it out. I know I'm biased to this style of pizza, but it was delicious! It's a small pizza joint that I think is mostly for pick up? I didn't see tons of places for seating inside unless I missed it. We got a small stuffed pizza (or deep dish) with pepperoni and sausage just to try. It's the only time I eat pizza with a fork but dang is it tasty. We also got a simple cheese/pepperoni and then the Uncle Tony's in their normal, tavern style crust. It was good and reminded me of pizza that I grew up on. Definitely will be back for more.

From there it was love at first sight and the rest is history! We have been ordering from here for more than three years and have always been extremely pleased with the quality of service, the excellence of food quality as well as our overall experience. However, tonight superseded all of the times that we have ordered, I somehow missed clicking a small check box while I was ordering, clearly, I was distracted, however, drove 40 minutes to get here at 8:45. I'll need to find out that I did not complete my order that I started 45 minutes ago. Ty happened to be walking into close the place down, I wasn't aware but Ty is the son of the owners. He went above and beyond to offer me the option to still make the pizza even though they had already stopped taking orders five minutes before I ever arrived. He agreed to make my two large thin crust, pizzas, as the other, very kind friendly employees left at approximately 9:15 poor Ty was in the back finishing up my two large pizzas. It is superior customer service and I certainly don't expect any special treatment, but was absolutely beside myself that he was willing to go to the extra mile stay late make my pizzas so my Chicago belly could sleep at peace this evening. I know it sounds silly however I have been literally dreaming of this pizza for the last two weeks so I was distraught when I found out that I did not complete the order and it was completely my fault. To be surprised with the kind gesture of making sure that customers walk out this door happy made a world of difference to me. It is because of people like Thai and the deliciousness of Nancy's Pizza, that our family will forever be customers here! Every time we have friends over or a gathering or any event we order from Nancy's and everybody raves about it. I am very appreciative of the stellar customer service, the quality of food and the experience that we have every single time! It is consistent. It is delicious and they deserve 10 stars! Thank you Ty for making our lifetime customers of yours! There should be way more Ty's in the world! :-)

I arrived at 7pm on a Sunday evening and there was no one sitting on the pizza side; there were two tables with people on the Oberweis side. The restaurant was clean, but it should be since it was not busy at all. I stared at the menu and was disappointed. This place charges for every topping that you want on your pizza. I was used to MOD where I could build my own pizza with unlimited toppings and the price doesn't increase. I wasn't about to pay over $20 for a pizza so I just ordered a one topping, pepperoni pizza. $10.24 with tax. ($7.49 and then $2 extra for each meat topping) The temperature of the pizza was great. Hot, but it should be since it was "made to order". The crust was subpar. It lacked crispness and was very doughy. The sauce was probably the best ingredient on the pizza. The cheese was plentiful and the pepperoni lacked flavor. I am a pizza connoisseur and this is one I will not be eating again. I give it a 3/10 (5/10 if there was unlimited toppings).

If you're looking for nothing but a great pie, it doesn't get much better than this! The pizza has that perfect combination of cheese, grease, and an incredible cheese pull. The crust is fantastic--very similar to a classic New York-style pizza dough. Gluten free crust option available. The wings are flash-fried, and doubled dipped are absolutely outstanding. With many other appetizer options. The salad bar was enough to create a basic salad. They kept the items on the bar well stocked and fresh. Despite the busy dinner rush, every staff member was working hard with a smile on their face. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and happy to answer questions and accommodate requests. I also had the chance to meet JD, the manager, and he was incredibly friendly and professional. I give Pantera's 5 stars in every category. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend everyone give it a try. As an added bonus, they even have four beers on tap. Excellent!

Over 40 years later, they still serve the same quality pizza that made them famous for their,"Hunk Pizza!" They definitely deserve 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for keeping their tradition going. Definitely checkout their nostalgic restaurant that has same ambience of bygone era of the 80s with the same fast and friendly service they are well known for!

I ordered the St. Louis thin crust provel/mozzarella mix with pepperoni, green olives and extra cheese (forgot to request pepperoni on top of cheese ). Paul ordered the New York style with extra cheese and ground beef and our daughter and grandson shared a large New York style extra cheese, extra sauce.

Pizza- 6.4 but would be a 7.4 flavor was pretty good. Crust was done right. Balance of cheese and sauce. But they get docked a full 1 point as I asked for half just sausage and the other half their version of supreme. But they instead gave me all supreme but no sausage on one half. I even explained twice to the gentleman who answered the phone for my Carey out order and he repeated it back to me and understood. So I guess the cook or whoever didn't read the ticket right. It happens. The pizza is still great so don't let that stop you from going here. Bonus: they had really good lasagna for a pizza place. I think they even put provel cheese on it which is always good. I love the bite provel gives Overall I'd come back as this is less than a 15 minute drive from me. Pizza is good and hopefully next time my pizza order comes out correctly.
