Great food! Very busy but they did a good job of getting the orders out in a timely manner

First, I love the casual vibe of this place and the decor. The photos on the walls, huge glass window looking over the street, serving china, and wooden chairs just gave it such an old school (but cool) neighborhood eatery feel. Next, the food. OMGGGGGGGGG the food. The garlic knots are fried like beignets; with an amazing parm cheese dusting on top of them. They were also served with this green sauce that was so good. Those were perfection. The pizza was also top notch. I loved the crust because it was crunchy on the bottom and chewy on the top. The tomato sauce was also divine - tasted like San Marzano tomatoes. I told people I have not had a wood-fire pizza like it in STL and we eat a lot of pizza. Finally, service was great. Lots of smiles and helpful food recs that all were spot on. Can't wait to go back to Netties! read more

It hasn't taken the unique pies from nettie's to land amongst the elite pies in STL. Vying for a top spot atop my personal list these pies do everything I want. I am still in awe at how they can make such a thin undercarriage remain thin and structured whilst loading the pies up. No flop, a crackery crunch that absorbs just enough oils to secure a soft landing on the tongue. The crust is perfect. By perfect, I mean imperfect. Every single pie has a unqie fingerprint of charred airpockets, random humps, bumps, and blips. It's got an old world pizza shop feel with a contemporary, refined finish. Paired with great service and an open kitchen, an ideal spot when you're in need of a convenient family dining option to keep the kiddos entertained. Just a glorious spot with killer execution, back again and again I will be! read more

Phenomenal, phenomenal pizza. I stopped here after a long day at the zoo and my very picky kids loved their cheese pizza. I got the prosciutto and arugula and it, too, was top notch. Everything here tastes fresh and bright. Their cheeses are especially well chosen, and each bite tastes like the perfect blend of flavors. If I have to deduct any points, the interior isn't very inviting. Maybe this pizza is better grabbed to go. They did have a few children's games and coloring books and toys, which may help little ones while they wait for pizza. It took maybe 20 minutes to receive our masterpieces. This pizza is so good, I cobbled together a paper napkin "floor" so the few leftover pieces could fit inside our tiny hotel fridge. Then I drove those pieces home to Chicago and reheated them for dinner a few days later. I wouldn't go to that effort if this weren't a stellar ode to Italy. Well played, Nettie. I hope I'm back soon! read more

Nettie's Pizza Den might be hands down, one of the best pizza places I've tried in St. Louis. I haven't been to a ton, but the flavors here were amazing. I got the Cacio e Pepe pizza and the Fire Honey pizza, and the Fire Honey was definitely a the best out of the two! The menu was a bit tricky to navigate, but the staff was beyond sweet and super helpful. They were such a vibe, especially with the open kitchen, they were listening to music and just enjoying themselves, which gave it a cool kickback feeling. The interior was super chill, and it kind of reminded me of getting pizza in New York. Parking here is pretty decent for Clayton, though it does get busy. I will say it is on the pricier side, expect around $15+ per pizza, but honestly, this is now one of my favorite pizza spots in STL. read more

Absolutely incredible pizza from this hole in the wall place. You order at a counter and then sit at whatever table is open. The pizza might've been a top 10 pizza of my life and I was totally shocked by that. 10/10 would recommend and will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Nettie's Pizza Den - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

I have been craving pizza since we've moved out here, and came across this place on social media! Walking in, I loved the feel and decor of the space, as it really called for simplicity and that was reflected in their menu. The girls at the front were sweet and gave us suggestions for us to consider. We ordered fried ravioli with hot sauce (yes - the hot sauce is really good), garlic knots, and prosciutto/arugula pizza. They have canned and bottled drinks for purchase and free water next to the utensils and take out boxes. We really enjoyed our lunch! The garlic knots were so soft and covered in freshly grated parmesean cheese. The fried ravioli was so so good with the provided sauces, but it was a little tough where they were crimped closed. Pizza was good, I would have a liked a liiiiittttlee thicker crust or maybe a longer time in the fire just for firmness sake! Good vibes all around and we will be back to try their dinner service! read more

I loved everything about my experience here- the welcoming service, the inviting atmosphere, and the incredible pizza. We got a sausage pizza and a prosciutto pizza, and after just one bite, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and knew we had a new favorite pizza place in town. The crust is so thin, yet crisp enough to hold its weight. The sauce, toppings, and dough are fresh and flavorful. I texted at least 5 friends while still at the table telling them to put it on their list to go to. Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent experience for a casual Sunday supper. My husband and I split a toasted ravioli order, pepperoni pizza and large arugula salad. We each ordered a beer and a house red. Prices were reasonable and the food was plenty for the two of us. I loved the pizza and the salad was a nice simple recipe. Ambiance is really fun, kind of an upscale Italian diner. We arrived early on Sunday for dinner and there was no waiting. read more

This is elite level pizza in Clayton. Completely different style than Pizzeria Da Gloria, La Pizza and O+O (my 3 personal favorites in STL). Neopolitan style but also crunchy and thinner. Great chew, quality sauce and really unique cheese that has a bit of a tang. Service is always friendly and helpful. Well stocked water station and boxes for leftovers. Also tried the T-Ravs my first time here and highly recommend starting with those. This place definitely deserves a visit. Besides Peel, this is the only pizza spot in Clayton. And as much as I like Peel, Nettie's is true pizza that is made with care and passion. Give it a try. read more

Nettie's Pizza Den - Cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

I have been waiting for Nettie's to open since I heard Mike Randolph was doing another pizza spot! I went to The Good Pie in 2009 or so and was introduced to Neapolitan style pizza and loved it. Fast forward to 2025 and a new pizza place by Mike Randolph and I had to have it. Located in Clayton, we found street parking right near the shop. You walk in and we were greeted by an employee who gave us the gist. It was a little awkward because it crowded the front area and we had to stand back to see the menu's posted on the side wall. We went to the cashier to take our order. We ordered two pizzas, and I wanted to try a salad, I think I confused her or her relay to the salad maker was off because I ended up with undressed iceberg lettuce with a few cannellini beans. I don't like cheese so I always have to modify but I will make sure to be more clear next time. Salad aside, the pizza was awesome! Light and delicious, perfect char and chew on the crust. I loved both the pepperoni and the sausage with Calabrian chili. Space is awesome, set up was great beyond the greeter. I enjoyed watching the pizza being made by none other than chef Mike Randolph. I am not a fan of handwritten signage, so I hope they change that in the future, but I know I am ordering the pizza however the menu is displayed! read more

The restaurant is located in a cute area. Inside the restaurant we had to take a moment to figure things out. It's a small place with some tables and chairs with a place where kids could play. Very clean. There's staff with a cash register and the kitchen window. The "menu" was on hand written pieces of paper taped to the wall on the right. IDK, found it weird and not in a good way. We ordered a pizza with cheese, pepperoni and sausage and an order of garlic knots. The bill was $30. We took the order back to our hotel room only to find the pizza was incredibly spicy and inedible. We tested the toppings individually and were not able to locate the spice. The garlic knots smelled amazing. Sadly, the parmesan dusted knots were dry and didn't have much going for them. To Nettie's defense, there were 2 sauces served with the knots. I was so disappointed I didn't want to even give the sauce a chance. Hard pass next time I'm in the area. read more

I got a to-go order and it took over an hour. That's fine considering it told me it would take an hour, but just keep that in mind if you're in a rush. I got the pepperoni pizza and I'll start off by saying I really enjoyed the crust and the crisp pepperoni slices. However, I felt the sauce lacked flavor overall. read more

Nettie's Pizza Den - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

Wow! This place is gooooooooood! When I first walked in, I wasn't sure whether to wait or seat myself. I erred on the side of caution and chose to wait and it was then that the girl behind the register came to greet me. She asked if it was my first time and then went over the menu on the wall (it's also printed). Since slices are only available M-F, I went with the cheese pizza (although it was neck and neck with the Margherita) and stuck with water, although they do have other beverage options available. After I ordered, I chose a booth closest to the window. Since there were only three couples in there and 2/3 already had their food, I knew I wouldn't be waiting long. After a minimal wait, the main chef walked over and delivered my pie and I couldn't wait to dig in. First glance, it's light and airy with the perfect amount of char. My first bite was heavenly and while I never thought I'd describe pizza this way, it was savory! You truly want to take your time eating the pizza so you can taste all the ingredients and how well everything comes together. I'm not sure how he did it, but this was the first time I've ever had a pizza where the crust was both chewy AND crunchy, and both were the right amounts! I decided three slices was a good stopping point, so I boxed the other three and took them home. Things I loved: being able to eat three slices out of 6 and not feel full, fresh ingredients, someone actually coming to greet me instead of just saying hi behind the counter, the cozy and casual atmosphere, and did I mention the pizza? This spot is perfect for Clayton and I can't wait to come back and try more. read more

I ordered the Burratta daily special. It had prosciutto, olive oil, garlic, Calabrian chili, arugula, parm, and a big ball of Burratta in the middle. My dinner date ordered the Marinara and added broccoli rabe. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We both loved our pizzas. The dough was fresh and had the right char. The ovens are gorgeous. Two complaints... I don't like community seating and maybe I'm getting old but it was extremely loud in here! Like I couldn't hear the person across the table loud. Great pizza! read more

The pizza was very good. We really enjoyed the Nettie sauce with it. The service, however, wasn't great. We were getting our order to go. After waiting for 45 minutes and watching people who came in after us receive their orders, we finally got our food. The pizza and suppli were both cold and the salad was over-dressed and wilted. We would try it again, because the pizza was good. However, we will probably order in so we get a number and are top of mind. read more

Lived up to the hype! We stopped by early on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty quiet with a nice casual vibe. Everyone working there was super nice and welcoming. The arugula salad tasted so fresh and the toasted raviolis were really good with a great marinara sauce. We had the pepperoni pizza and the crust was perfect since it was crunchy but light and strong enough to hold its shape. It had a good amount of cheese and pepperoni too. I totally recommend this place and would definitely consider stopping by again to try another pizza. read more

Went there twice in two days. Really excellent new addition to Clayton lunch scene. Clean bright inside. Very friendly and helpful employees. Their "slice" is about 1/3 of a medium pizza and makes a great lunch, with a soda and a tip you can get out for less than 15 bucks and be stuffed. One of my dining companions had their house salad and said it was great. Went back again and they did a combination slice for me, even though not on the menu. It is hard to find a place to get a good a slice. They did not have any WIFI connectivity but that is a small price to pay. Really delicious. read more

My family of 3 had Nettie's for dinner last night and we were all 3 very pleased with it! We shared a cheese pizza and some beef toasted ravioli, very good! The food was done very quickly and we really enjoyed sitting at the table looking outside. We'd definitely eat here again! read more

***toasted ravioli appreciation post*** the pizza is good but now that that is out of the way the toasted ravioli are incredible...some of the best I've had in St. Louis. The red and green sauces are also very good and that's coming from a toasted ravioli purist. I will be back for the pizza, I will dream about the toasted ravioli. read more

The place is great and sadly the eggplant parmesan was not. Knowing it was Mike Randolph I went for the eggplant. The eggplant was barely cooked. Three too think slices, too thick for eggplant, nice light breading and excellent sauce with the right amount of cheese. So disappointed. I brought it home and finished cooking it. read more

The pizza is excellent. The crust has a nice char, not doughy at all, and the rest of each slice has a nice crispness. The ingredients are all high quality (the DOP prosciutto was especially good). The service was very friendly and helpful, and the pizza came out pretty fast. There's a lot of "gourmet" pizza places in town now, but Nettie's is legit. We'll be back to try some of the other pies, but the mushroom was a standout. read more

Netti's Pizza Den is quickly becoming our pizza obsession. The tomato pies are outstanding. The oil-based pies are also solid. We have been three times in three weeks and that is before they have even fully ironed out their service flow. A note on the garlic knots: unlike traditional knotted dough, these are more like golden, crispy garlic puffs. Delicious but ordering them can be slow, so plan ahead. We tried the burrata broccoli raab pizza. The pecorino and raab created a bitter-salty tango that I probably would not repeat, but the dough was spectacular. Medium-well crust, chewy, and downright yummy. The salad is a standout too. It has a perfect balance of textures, from mealy garbanzos and crisp bread crumbs to soft lettuce, and a dressing that hits just right. My wife has officially claimed this as her new go-to for Napoli-style pizza. I cannot wait until the service side catches up with the food. It will be unstoppable. I really want this place to succeed. read more

Nice space with a casual vibe while serving up some gourmet pizza. Came with a friend and ordered the mushroom pizza and a prosciutto & arugula pizza. Both pizzas were great but that mushroom pizza was truly special. Both pizzas reheated up well the next day for a nice lunch of leftovers. As others have noted the crust on these pizzas is light, crispy & chewy. My friend was not a fan of the chewy but I loved it! One of the better pizza crusts in town. read more

The pizza was alright. But they forgot one of my pizzas. I was there with two hungry kids and had to go up and ask them for the second pizza half an hour after we came in when they were bringing pizzas out to parties that came in after us. At least throw a dad something to keep the kids fed at that point or something, especially when I had already tipped well. read more

Great location and ambience! One of the best pepperoni pizzas I have ever had! We ordered a large house salad, an appetizer called Suppli/Risotto cake and a 14"pepperoni pizza.
