Faraci Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Serra's pizza over this joint.....all day, everyday. These peeps are just straight rude. Used to love it here. Nope, not anymore.

Such a great family spot! The fried cauliflower and toasted ravioli were both crispy and delicious, and the Faraci Special pizza hit the spot -- perfect crust and toppings. Cozy vibe, friendly staff, and great food that feels homemade. We'll definitely be back for another family dinner soon! read more

Our favorite pizza in west county. The pizza is always cooked to perfection & the house salad dressing is amazing. We like it on the side so you can add as much or little as you want. The pizza sauce is on the sweet side vs meaty. I absolutely recommend. read more

Faraci Pizza - Large Pepperoni & Hamburger - Pizza Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

We've been wanting to try this pizza for some time based on other people's recommendations. But it's a bit of a trek from our house. We were out west so we decided to try it. Picked up the pizza and brought it home. It was very average. Nothing to travel 25 minutes for. But not bad. How can you screw up pizza? I had grilled cheese on it at least. read more

Best Pizza and Service you'll find in St Louis,,,great menu,great service and great atmosphere

Amazing homemade style pizza, neighborhood feel in the restaurant and very friendly staff

I stopped in for lunch on my day off and was greeted by a lovely woman, who turned out to be a one-woman show for the front of the house. She was the hostess and the server and she was awesome and full of energy. I decided to get the pizza lunch special. Everything was ready pretty quickly. I liked the house salad dressing and my pizza was blazing hot when it arrived. I had to be patient because I fear that molten provel cheese! I was surprised to find the sauce to be on the sweet side, great crust, and the toppings were plentiful. It took me far too long to check out this local institution, but I'd definitely return! read more

Faraci Pizza - Lunch special-sausage and mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

Very good pizza and salad. Great service and friendly staff. We always enjoy Faraci Pizza and recommend.

Friendly personable staff. Excellent St. Louis style pizza. Fresh ingredients and loaded with toppings.

If I were to be on death row, this would be my last meal. Best pizza probably in the world. I would shit this pizza out, eat it, and it would still be good. Eat here or die read more

Not the best pizza. If you order a salad to go ask for the dressing on the side. My salad was so wilted that I had to throw it away.

Went there yesterday (4-11-26). The servers were attentive without being overbearing. The pizza was delicious. It was a thinner crust which is what I prefer. I will be going back. read more

Great pizza, excellent St. Louis style pizza tops most other places. Pizza had plenty of toppings! Nice crust all across! Services little slow, but tasty pizza made it worth while! Definitely going to be one of my favorite pizza places. read more

From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted with a warm Italian welcome! The restaurant is classic and comfortable. Vince and Pete Faraci have carried on their father's Sicilian recipes with perfection. Everything is delicious and prepared fresh. If you have not been to Faraci's... you are really missing out! One of the best restaurants in town. read more

The staff would benefit from improved training in phone etiquette. The woman (don't know her name because she didn't introduce herself) who took my order was short to answer my questions and unenthusiastic responses also referred to me as 'hon,' which felt condescending. On a side note: The website appears outdated and could use a modern refresh. (Bring it up to the 1990's) read more

I'm literally going to visit EVERY pizza place in St Louis that I can. Always exciting when I come across one that has been around 50+ years. They must be doing something right, right!? Admittedly, as much as I love St Louis style pizza I've not really tried a lot of places that specialize in it. Enter Faraci's! In business and family owned since 1968. I drove past it once day, and checking out pictures online it definitely looked good. The place was pretty packed at 530, on a Thursday night. I showed up a bit later than my friend and it did take a bit before I was asked if I wanted a drink. A bit more off putting for me was that while we ordered at the same time my friends pizza was delivered first, with mine almost ten minutes behind it. While I found the service to be a bit slow, the staff was all super friendly! Let's talk pizza! It looked and smelled phenomenal! While St Louis style, I loved that it had a lot more body and I knew it was going to be a lot more filling than St Louis' famous chain. The sauce was delicious, but I felt it a bit lacking on the pizza. Was happy that we kept the sauce from our toasted ravioli. Adding a bit on top of the pizza, definitely was a good move! The toppings were all wonderful, specifically I loved the seasoning on the sausage. I loved the crisp on the edge of the crust, but wish that same crisp had carried through to the underside. All in all, I enjoyed faracis! Definitely would stop back in if I'm in the neighborhood and inspired to try more St Louis style pizza spots! read more

I had the lunch pizza today (2026), I had the pizza last year and it does not have that Faraci's distinctive taste any longer, it's just like Imos now, just a regular tasting tavern style pizza, I'll just stick to Imo's. read more

Visited for the first time a couple nights ago after seeing the owner pop up on Facebook with a few mutual friends. Love family owned restaurants so had to give it a shot. There was an hour wait for pizza, so started with house salads and toasted ravioli. They have a very good house dressing and the T-Ravs were standard St. Louis fair (which is good). The sauce served with them was a little thinner than I like and I wasn't a huge fan of it, but that's my personal taste, not saying it's not good, just not my favorite. Pizza came an hour later and was very good, however I prefer a crispier crunch from a St. Louis style pizza, but again, that's my personal taste and it was still very good. The place isn't huge but has a great vibe and the staff were very attentive. They all cared that we had a great experience. Seems to be filled with regulars who all know each other. We'll definitely go back and try other menu items. If you have any inclination to go, do so. You won't be disappointed. read more

The best original STL-style pizza. High quality ingredients. Fantastic provel. Love the crust. A bit pricey but worth it.

Everything was awesome. Friendly staff! Great ambiance! And the pizza is amazing! We highly recommend!!!

Drove past this place many many times and this is the first time we stopped. It feels like a family atmosphere, servers are great. Pizza is thin crust St. Louis style and rectangular. Not a fancy place but a good and satisfying meal. read more

I tried to order a carry out pizza and they said it was 1 hour and 45 minute wait. LoL - so not sure

My family has been ordering takeout from Faraci's for years and it is my absolute favorite pizza place. I've never dined in, but I am sure the service is excellent for dine-in, because it always is for take out! Their pizza is a St. Louis Style thin crust with yummy cheese and delicious sauce. The pizza almost melts in your mouth, words can't describe it. We've gotten their garlic breads and salad before, which are also great. My only complaint is that it is a little pricey, but it's hard to complain about that when the food is so good!! HIGHLY recommend. I have been going here since I was a kid and have always loved it. read more

It's so funny because I used to intensely dislike Faracis pizza. Somewhere along the way , along with my family's love of this family owned pizza parlor, my taste for it grew until it really is the best in St. Louis I think. Their salad is really just lettuce, onion and a few tomatoes but their homemade Italian dressing makes it delicious. It's not too sour. A little more in the oily side but holy flavor!!! The Faracis special pizza has always been our favorite. A little bit of all the important pizza toppings like pepperoni, sausage, onion, mushroom and I think green pepper and bacon. This pizza is worth the drive from Creve Coeur to Ballwin alone. Now you may want to get an order of their fried mushrooms or cauliflower as an appetizer because pizza generally takes an hour they say... although I think they estimate high so as not to have upset customers. But the pizza comes out piping hot when it does make it to your table! This is a place to go with others so you can sit and chat and enjoy yourself while you wait and not feel rushed. Because it is family run, they do close for vacations and such so always be sure to check their schedule. Another bonus is that the same staff have been there for. Long time and they are always friendly, honest, on top of keeping drinks filled and grateful for your coming I . This is a great pizza place that I highly recommend and even if it's not your cup of tea at first give it a couple chances because chances are it will totally grow on you :) read more

Faraci Pizza - Faraci Special! - Pizza Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

They make their own dough which takes three days and is made by the owners themselves. Scratch made sauce and scratch made toppings. All cooked in a brick oven that creates a perfect crispy crust. The consistency is amazing. Tonight we ordered the hamburger and the Faraci Special. The service was amazing as well as the pizza. If you like real old school STL style pizza, Faraci pizza is as good as it gets. read more

OK, so I've been meaning to try Faraci for a few years now. I've seen good reviews. Finally gave it a shot on Thursday evening. Good: -Pizza is best "Imo's style" that I know of in STL. Better than Imo's I'd have to say. NOT So Good: -Good god man, the pizza is just as pricey as Imo's. Maybe even higher. -Chef salad was weak. A ton of iceburg lettuce and perhaps 1 slice of ham cut up and about a dozen pepperonis with a miniscule amount of provel. -wine was rather crappy, but I wasn't expecting much here. My gal wasn't a fan of the pizza, but this is my review. We dropped more than $60 after tip for a large 1-topping pizza, a chef salad to share and a glass of wine. If we just went for the pizza and knew it was STL style, probably would give it 4 stars (dinged for outrageous price). read more

Been a customer for 30 years and this is still the best pizza on the planet. The freshest ingredients and always made to order, you won't find a better pie anywhere. read more

YUM!! We made the trek out here from Saint Louis because the bride (from the area) highly recommended it. The second we walked in we felt like family. The hospitality is unmatched! Everyone was so kind and open with suggestions. We tried the cheese garlic bread and an order of the home made meatballs and sauce. WOW. We ordered 2 orders of it because it was soooo good. We then ordered a large pizza with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, mushroom, and onion. What a treat!! The crust was crunchy and perfect and the cheese was delicious. We had some leftovers but we ate them for lunch the next day (still amazing, even cold!). We will return next time we are in Saint Louis. read more

This is a family owned business that has excellent sheet pan pizzas and great salads.

The over the phone service was great! He was patient and answered my questions, so the pizza it self was ok. Maybe I should have got the special. My boyfriend went in to pick up the pizza and said "it's very Italian" lol so I'm guessing that was a good sign, he did say he would never order chicken tenders from them since you only get 4 to 5 at the price of $10! read more

This is our favorite place! We initially tried this place because Dave Portnoy reviewed it, and let me tell you it is INCREDIBLE! I love the sauce, it's kind of sweet! We always get a medium hamburger and it always hits the spot! Takeout is the best way to go in my opinion. It's a little family shop so there isn't a ton of seating to eat in, so we always order it to go. I will say it's always busy so a pizza takes like 30-45 minutes but it's so worth it! read more
