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.

Go to the Belleville West location. The food is much better and customer service is exceptional…read more I called the downtown location today and no one answered the phone. Called again to place my order. Got there and the place was empty. Got my pizza. It looked old like it wasn't made just now. I paid for extra cheese and at least once slice had cheese halfway on the slice. The wings didn't taste good at all, but maybe that's me. I wish I had took a picture of all the pizza before I ate it. There were no napkins in the bag. Maybe you have to ask for them.

Anthonino's was the culinary highlight of our trip to St Louis. Located well-outside of Downtown,…read moreit is located in a largely residential neighborhood. 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've been coming to Epic Pizza for years, and it's consistently a great experience. One of my…read morefavorite things is that you can order pizza by the slice, making it easy to grab a quick meal or try something new. I also love their Slice of the Day--it's always fun to see what creative flavor they're featuring. The wings are delicious, and most of the staff is friendly and welcoming. Another huge plus is the walk-up window, especially late at night when most other places are closed. It's one of the few spots you can count on for a quality meal after hours. The wait can sometimes be a little long when they're busy, but that's because everything is made fresh. In my opinion, the quality is well worth the wait. If you're looking for great pizza, fresh food, and late-night convenience, Epic Pizza is definitely worth checking out.

night out pizza run = success!…read more Stopped by Epic Pizza for a quick bite after a night out, and let me tell you -- it hit the spot. The slices are big, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. That perfect balance of crispy crust and gooey goodness you dream about after midnight. The staff kept the energy up, even late, and the place had that chill, city-night feel -- good music, good vibes, and even better pizza. Whether you're wrapping up the night or just craving something solid and satisfying, Epic Pizza totally lives up to the name. 10/10 would make another night out pizza run here!

I'd say it's definitely a "sharing" spot, which I love, perfect for a group of friends, but also great for solo entrées since the portions work either way. During my visit, there was a bit of a delay: our pizza dish took longer than our pastas, but our server handled it really well and stayed super sweet throughout. So, it didn't take away too much from the experience. Overall, this place is a hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn't busier, considering how great the food and service were. Just a heads-up: parking can be really tricky since it's neighborhood street parking, so if you get lucky, you get lucky. Definitely worth a visit!

This is where Fordo's Killer Pizza is located. There are spots outside but I didn't venture over there as we chose inside Lots of TV's going, a nice big bookshelf filled with games and beer to purchase. Waited in line to order pizza and then at the bar to order beer. I had a couple samples before I chose the Saison, it was fruity and refreshing. I had my eye on a cocktail, a Paloma made with their Tangerine Radler, which I love, but alas they were out of the radler. They could make it with grapefruit but I pass on grapefruit. We got the confit buffalo wings; the Deluxe pizza was calling my name with its jalapeno and Castelvetrano olives! My husband got his typical pepperoni and sausage. Food came out pretty quick, the wings first. They are so good! Confit makes them easier to eat but the flavor and texture are great. My Deluxe pizza was really good, a lot of char and bubbles on the crust which is what I like on a wood fired pizza! Lots of pepperoni and little cubes of bacon, plenty of olives and jalapeno. The Ranch for the wings is pretty good, a little dilly for me but great for also dipping the pizza crust!

They are located on Kingshighway right by Chippewa and have a fantastic location right in the heart of south city. The place is newer and when we arrived they let us know they were short staffed but to get seated and they would be right over. Grabbed a huge booth/table in the front by the bar and picked out the pizzas n some Buds Nugs as well as Beer Nugs. The Nugs were really great and can't pick which one I liked more but careful cus they are filling and you want to save room for the pizza! We all ordered a pizza (3 total for the table) and ours was the Boxcar. The slices are cute large, and the crust was a perfect balance of crispy but still fluffy. Since we got full on the Nugs we had lots of leftovers for the week to enjoy! Overall place was BEAUTIFUL, servers were friendly, and food was great!
