Pizzeoli sits in historic Soulard and feels like a restored, cozy little pizzeria with dark…read moremulti-colored lights, a soundtrack that drifts between 1920s/30s jazz and the occasional pop or mid-century tune, and a wood-burning oven as the literal and figurative center of gravity. There's a charming patio out front, if you want it. You can settle in for a long dinner, post up at the bar for the night, or grab a quick bite before heading out on the town. Bartenders are warm and approachable, and the in-house mixology is confident without any "we spent 30 hours perfecting this" pretense. The whole experience is like Sam Malone the bartender (save the drama) at Cheers: friendly, self-assured, the kind of place that makes you feel like you could spend all night there without anyone rushing you. We had a Paper Plane and an Old Fashioned -- the latter served over a custom ice cube stamped with a double ax (a nod to the wood fire). The cocktail list leans classic and reliable: if you know you like gin or vodka, you'll find something easy here. The espresso martini is the standout, it works as a dessert drink or any other time of the meal. We started with the Smorgasbord instead of our usual garlic knots (which are their own delicacy), and it didn't disappoint: toasted brioche with mascarpone and strawberry jam, several cured meats (capicola, prosciutto, pepperoni), parmesan, gouda, dried cherries, and chutney. My one nitpick; the pepperoni and gouda were tiny cubes, which makes them tough to grab cleanly compared to the sliced parmesan or rolled prosciutto. In this situation give the man a toothpick. The tallow-fried wings are, in my opinion, the best in St. Louis. The beef-tallow-and-potato-starch breading produces a tempura-like texture and crunch that keeps them light. Adventurous-but-classic sauces, bourbon butter BBQ, buffalo, and pineapple honey habanero (legitimately spicy; bring backup). The wings stand on their own without sauce. For pizza, we got the Napoli (tomato, fresh and smoked mozzarella, arugula, parmesan, black pepper, olive oil) -- her standing favorite. Expect proper Neapolitan: soft center, thin crust, charred crisp edge. Don't lift and bite fold it. (She insists: no fork. I use a fork - I know how dare I!) The pizza menu reads creative but never gimmicky; meat-lovers, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-conscious diners all have real options. Before Kyle took over, Pizzeoli was known as a vegan-forward spot, and that flexibility lives on. We closed with the seasonal ice cream sandwich, fresh-pressed pizzelle wafers, crème brûlée ice cream, and a torched marshmallow cap. Excellent. A couple of practical notes: they're dinner-only (4-9:30) and the new reservation phone line is a robo call. Easier to use the online waitlist or book online directly. Pizzeoli is dressed-down-or-dressed-up friendly, kid-welcoming, and somehow works equally well for a pre-game stop or your dinner of the week. I've never had a bad dish here, and there are several I come back for specifically -- Lesley for the Napoli, me for the wings. 4.9 stars out of 5. If that toothpick shows up, a perfect 5. ;) Worth the trip across town, an hour drive for a long dinner, if it were open for lunch, the suggestion for two trips in one day would be welcomed or two-days in a row.

We ordered a pizza and salad to split along with a beer and a glass of wine. The food was good, the salad and pizza were fantastic. Unfortunately, the service was weird, our waitress was relatively inattentive. She didn't revisit after our order at all. and they bussed our plates before we were even finished without asking if we were finished or wanted a box. It was extremely off putting with people cycling through our table bussing dishes and cups. We would've gotten more drinks if they asked but they never did. It got to the point where I had to flag someone down and ask if they were closing or something - they were not for another hour and half, so we weren't trying to close the place down or anything, they were just being weird about getting us out or something. It wasn't even that busy, there were tables available to sit so that was also out of the question. This part sucks because I really liked the food and atmosphere, but I'd probably choose to go to the golden Hoosier (next door) over this place due to the way we were treated and I'd encourage you to do the same.

We had 6pm reservations and were seated on time but people without reservations faced a 2 hour wait. Make reservations! Upon entering, there is a hostess stand and small bar with seating extending to the back of the building. We had the first table so I can't comment on the full size. My son ordered a Bloody Mary and I had a Pinot Noir while we looked at menu. Bloody Mary was very good and the wine was pleasant. We started with Garlic Bread with Cheese. It was the only menu item I would not order again. Flavors did not come together. I ate my fair share so it was good. Just not great. We then shared a cheese pizza with provel. Elite crust and sauce! The crust had an amazing char and the sauce was deliciously nuanced. The cheese was very good, but most definitely not the star of the pie. Pasta Pomodoro was wonderful. House made pasta was excellent and the sauce was a perfect accompaniment. (Anthonino's really does sauces well!) I finished with tiramisu and I am so glad I did! Did I need it? No. Did I want it? Heck yeah! I think I will be wanting it every day for a long time to come! All of the staff were welcoming and friendly, while remaining efficient. Nice group of people. I would love to be a regular here.

We got the Caesar and meatballs to start, then the sausage pizza and Sungold Vodka seasonal special. The waiter recommended adding soppressata to the special and I'm really glad he did. It was easily my favorite. The sauce was rich and incredibly flavorful, and the crust was excellent. My daughter took one bite and immediately grabbed another piece, so yes, kid approved. Both spritzes we got were really good too, limoncello and lemon basil, and both were part of the lunch specials. The service was very friendly and the space was nice without feeling too fancy. It was easy to bring our daughter and we saw plenty of other families there too. Definitely one of those places we left talking about coming back.

Got to try this place and loved it!…read more A friend recommended that we try this pizza place on The Hill, but also said to call and have a reservation, and I'm glad we did! The wait was hours if not, so be sure to plan ahead! We sat outside in their patio and loved the weather, even with some rain, the screens kept us dry and cool. Drinks came out quickly and were tasty, my wife got a spritz and I tried the Spagett. It was sweeter than I expected, but nice! We split creamy Italian salad and enjoyed it, even through we realized at the end our waiter forgot our dressing! It was still tasty, but not so much "creamy" without it! The pizzas all looked good, but we went with the bonci and loved the taste. The stracciatella pizza was also delicious, that sauce is addictive! Great place for a date night dinner, but we saw families and some folks that brought their dogs too! Looking forward to going again!
