Went in to meet a friend. Happy hour. Ordered a beer. Server was great. Friendly & checked on us multiple times. Friend ordered the goat cheese salad & the goat pizza. The salad was amazing. That dressing was phenomenal. The goat pizza was tasty. The crust was the perfect mix of thinner base with puffy crispy edges. Large restaurant with weekly lunch specials & good variety. Large menu. Wasnt expecting that when going to pizzeria. read more

We had a party of 7, at 5:00 on a Sunday. It was pretty empty when we arrived. Our orders were taken promptly. The one salad ordered came out very quickly the goat cheese walnut salad and it was great! Our one appetizer came out shortly after, the balsamic glazed Brussel sprouts. We've ordered them once before, they could have been cooked a bit longer this time but the flavor was great. We had several pizzas, including a gluten free crust. They were all good! One person ordered a sandwich and it was delayed, but they gave us a discount to make up for the delay. Overall a great pizza option especially if you need gluten-free! read more

Pizza lovers, brace yourselves... This spot has every topping you can think of -- plus fun, creative combos that make you want to come back for more. Sizes from 8" * 10" * 12" * 14" and even a big lineup of fresh salads if you want something lighter. We had to try the pizza bowls -- marinara, melty cheese, and three toppings baked together in a dish. I went with black olives, mushrooms & pepperoni, and Scott grabbed pepperoni, sausage & mushrooms. The ooey‑gooey cheese was everything. And then... the Pizzookie A warm brown‑butter chocolate chip skillet cookie topped with sea salt, vanilla bean ice cream, and drizzles of chocolate + caramel. Melt‑in‑your‑mouth perfection. The staff was so friendly and we look forward to coming back! read more

Came here from STL on a Friday night. There was a steady stream of people in and out, and our party of 4 was seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a patio seating area, but it was closed that night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note: They also have a happy hour from 3-6 Monday-Friday but we were too late for it this go around. $1 off drafts and $3 off Apps. The restaurant has a great draft beer selection as well as numerous pizzas and sandwich options to select from. You can even build your own pizza or calzone. I am an IPA lover and out of their 18 drafts that were currently on tap, 3 of them were IPA's. I opted for an IPA I had never tried and went with the Deadhead. It is less hoppy than many IPA's but had a very clean finish and was perfect for a warm summer evening. Pizza wise, I ordered a medium Big Hawaiian o hand tossed crust and added fresh jalapeños. I love that they had fresh jalapeño on the menu because in most pizza joints, they come out of the jar. Note to self...add onions to this pizza next time if you get it. Pizza came out hot, fresh, and was good , but I wish I would have added the onions. I will also probably go with a thin crust next time because the crust got a little soggy toward the middle. read more

We love all of their pizzas. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I typically go for their lunch special, cuz it's one of the best around. So if you're into pizza or salads, the lunch specials are fantastic. They also do a killer calzone. You can turn any pizza into one, and if you're a carboholic like me, you're gonna love it. But today I met family for dinner and I got the chicken and cheese sub. It was just ok. Kinda tasteless, actually. But I got the chicken cranberry pecan salad as my side, and it was incredible. One of my favorite salads around. And the pizza, my family got was excellent (yes, I stole some). Service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is typical sports bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Down side of this place: very limited sides. Bag of chips by default. No fries. Side salad is extra, but totally worth it. They're all really good. Upside is the pizza. It's really good. So are the calzones. I get the hand tossed, cuz I'm not a wafer-thin-st-louis pizza guy. But lots of people rave about the thin crust too. I recommend the kitchen sink pizza in calzone form. Oh yeah! read more

We only got a personal hand-tossed pizza and a couple drinks late on a Friday night, but they were excellent and we had a super nice server.

Wanted to try somewhere we had never been on a girls day out today. Food was amazing! make sure you add the house salad to your order because it's a show stopper with artichoke hearts and pimentos. The pizzas are also amazing. The steak on the steakhouse was tender and delicious. Menu had a wide range to try with something for everyone. The only reason they get 4 instead of 5 stars is there were only two serves running around trying to do everything. Both worked their butts off but could only do so much. More staff would make this a 5/5 easy. Lunch special was 12.99 with a specialty personal size pizza , salad and a drink! read more

Pizza for dinner at Pappo's Pappo's is becoming one of those establishments in Fairview Heights that you have to visit. Their menu is full of great choices of pizza, wings, salads, and so much more! Their pizza is always prepared with fresh and tasty ingredients. I must apologize. I ate my yummy pizza and then realized I didn't get a picture. It was so good! Next time, the camera will eat first! lol! read more

I've been here four times now, and each visit has been fantastic. The pizza and service are always spot-on. We went last night after a disappointing experience at another local pizza spot, and they completely turned our night around. The bartender was amazing--our drinks were never empty. We ordered the prosciutto pizza and the chicken Caesar pizza, and the chicken Caesar was especially incredible! This has now been our Valentine's tradition two years in a row. We shouldn't have strayed this year--it definitely wasn't worth it! I can't recommend this place enough. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and quiet with few customers when we walked in mid day and were seated quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The quiet didn't last long and we asked that it at least be turned down so we could talk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our daughter, a vegan, was familiar with the restaurant and steered us in, our first meal of the day, and not really into pizza. She ordered a 10" vegan with cauliflower crust. Happy with it. Hubby ordered a meatball sandwich which we were going to share, but it was delivered on a large roll with three large meatballs and sauce. I ordered a Goat Cheese Salad with Lemon Maple Vinaigrette, which he declined to share. OMG--such a tasty surprise! Bowl size loaded with goodies. More than enough for us (seniors) and a happy alternative to pizza for breakfast. read more

Stopped in for a weekday dinner. The place was empty about 5pm. The food was delicious. The calzone had a little too much sauce. But it was still good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a very quiet restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But we also got there early and there were only a handful of customer. Definitely a great place to grab a delicious pizza. read more

Tried this pizza place while we were traveling. Thoroughly enjoyed it! We had the whipped ricotta as an appetizer and then shared the thin-crust BBQ chicken pizza. All the food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant wasn't busy when we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was nice and gave us recommendations when asked -- and his pizza suggestion was great! Food came out quickly and was exactly what we wanted. Would recommend if you're looking for a casual, low-key pizza restaurant. read more

To be transparent, we were literally just looking for somewhere open on the 4th to eat and there were cars in front of Pappos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building it is in was several other restaurants before them hidden behind Olive Garden near a dying strip mall so I was very skeptical pulling up. This completely went away once we walked in and Joe came and greated us and we sat at a high top near the bar, and looking around you notice how literally spotless it is in there, everything just shining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu was surprisingly vast for a pizza place, we got these amazing meatballs for an appitiser and I got a salad and my husband got a pizza. The food was generous portions and fantastic. As great as the food was it was Joe that was the heart of our experience, attentive, knowledgeable about the food and we needed doggie bags and he boxed up everything for us and put them in a nice handle bag for us, which we proceeded to eat for dinner! Pappo's and Joe are just a little hidden gem of Fairview heights and we will definitely go back to! Thank you! read more

Showed up with a group of 20+ on a Saturday afternoon and we were sat quickly, the server was friendly and helpful and except for one salad that was late coming out it was a great experience and the calzone was SO GOOD! Solid beer selection. I'd go again if we were back in this area. read more

Ordered a dozen chocolate chip cookies through the Toast app. Was delivered 5 in a box. When I called to complain, I get a manager, "Matt". He started the conversation as if I was lying from the start then passed the phone to a woman saying, "He's full of shit." So you think I'll complain about cookies just to get free cookies? No i refuse to give you money and not receive what I paid for. Rude service. Rude manager "Matt". Ppl like Matt makes customers go elsewhere. read more

Stopped here early on a Friday evening for dinner. We got a table right away - I thought it would be really crowded on a Friday night, so was pleasantly surprised. Had a great waiter who took care of us - offered us complimentary samples of their on tap beer so we could choose. I ended up getting a blueberry beer which was good. I was excited to see that they offered a gluten free crust for their pizza - we each got our own small pizza, and wow were they good!! If you are a sports fan, they had the local baseball game on in the bar area, plus some auto racing; it would be a great place to stop in and catch a game on TV any night of the week. Definitely give them a try for some of the best pizza in that area!! read more

Nice size place with sporty atmosphere. Loved the indoor/outdoor seating vibe. Good variety of food to choose from. Waitress was good and on top of everything. Started off with the garlic cheese bread. It was okay the sauce they gave you to dip in we did not like. House salad was Great. Meat lovers pizza awesome! Chicken Philly was good. Margarita pizza was okay. I should have tried my usual deluxe. They do give you the option for a thin crust or hand tossed. Chicken Caesar pizza was plain. Chicken wings terrible. They were so dry and the buffalo sauce was not good. The ranch they gave you was like water. I would go back but order the food I know I would like. read more

We are newer to the area and are always on the hunt for decent restaurants being foodie transplants from DFW. We have been here several times and it is a good consistent option for yummy food! They do not skimp on the toppings and their hand-tossed crust is light and airy. We had excellent service as well. I can't remember our servers name unfortunately, I think they said it was Kiley (which I am probably spelling incorrectly) but they were spunky, upbeat, and smiling, which you don't find in customer service much anymore. As for ambiance, it looks like a large sports bar with lots of space inside, and plenty of open seating. It also looks as if the front area of the restaurant opens up like a loading bay or garage so they can open the front in nicer weather for patio seating. read more

Fairly regular customer with solid experiences, but tonight very disappointing. Tried delivery for first time. Delivery was promised in 51 minutes. Ok. At minute 65 was wondering where the pizza and salad were. Noticed that I received a text that the order was delivered, but had been sitting 10' from the front double doors with large windows and hadn't heard anything. Got up, went to front door, saw the pizza and salad on my front porch. Pizza was cold like it came out of the fridge. Not sure if pizza was cold before it was dropped off, or because the driver couldn't be bothered to knock on the door (they would have clearly seen me)---either way totally not ok, tip not earned and bad experience. read more

A nice local pizza place. Plenty of seating with a bar area as well. I had an 8" sausage and pepperoni pizza. It was good but could have had more of the toppings. A little lite for the price. The 2 ingredient pizza was $11.59 with tax. A few tables were occupied in both the bar and the restaurant. The bartender was very dry and attentive not only to me but to the tables as well. Overall a good pizza and I would revisit. Good food... good mood! read more

We went to Pappos for happy hour. Sat at the bar. The restaurant was quiet at 3pm. Matt was our bartender. He was attentive, polite, and helpful. We got cold beers and chatted. We ordered three appetizers for supper. We ordered meatballs, ravioli, and crostini. We figured that would fill us up. Oh wow--. It was delicious and spicy. Way more than the two of us could eat. We took home a box of leftovers for another day. Gotta say- the place is clean and I observed bartenders cleaning the area multiple times. Bathrooms super clean too. Overall appearance of the place A+. Loved it. Great way to enjoy a birthday. Thanks Pappos. read more

Had PaPPo's recommended to me during my visit to the Belleville area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice location, good ambiance, lots of TV's for sports.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of pizza choices on the menu. Other Italian dishes as well. Tap beer selections were from some local breweries. Service was great. Fast and friendly. Would definitely visit again! read more

Everyone in our party commented their food was just average. Margarita was overwhelmingly sweet and had to be watered down. Bartender said they're premade that way. Pizza "bowl" is actually a large oval casserole dish with a layer of sauce, mozzarella and toppings. Good option if you're avoiding gluten. Should have gotten the gluten free or cauliflower crust. Salads are way huge and even the small is sharable. House dressing is good but get it on the side, it's super sweet and salad was swimming in it. I had to tip the bowl and pour the excess dressing onto a plate. Our server did a good job. read more

Pizza and salads are wonderful! The pizza in a bowl is also very good. You have to try their Chocolate Chip cookies, yum.

I have only ordered Pappo's to go, but each time the food and service have been timely & wonderful. I love the goat cheese salad with maple vinaigrette. I've also loved both the pizza & calzones; must try their hand tossed / thick crust. They have a great selection of craft beer on tap in their designated bar area. read more

We had a good time here! So we're staying nearby at Drury Inn and wanted to find a place to grab some light bites and a few beers. This place really fit the mark! The bartender was so nice and attentive and they had mango cart for only $6! That's really a steal! Anyway we had the shrimp scampi. I do wish they had toasted the bread slightly, but otherwise it made a super tasty accompaniment to the poached shrimp in butter garlic sauce. Super yummy. I would LOVE to come back and try their shrimp scampi pizza. The bartender gave us a pro tip of getting the shrimp scampi appetizer blackened, so if I'm here again, will DEFINITELY be getting it that way. Anyway would totally come back here! read more

Me and my wife went to Pappo's Pizzeria on Saturday night for dinner and I want to recommend this place to you. If you like pepperoni pizza, try the hot honey pepperoni on the hand tossed crust, yum. And they have a bunch of craft beers to go with your pizza or pasta. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is also very family friendly, girls youth sports team was there with parents/coaches when we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh, and lots of TV's on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you haven't been here yet, please do yourself a favor and go. read more

I decided to check this place out on a whim during a weekday afternoon. There weren't many people there but I think that's because I got there after the lunch rush. The floors and tables were clean so that was a good sign. My waitress was sweet and made sure I was enjoying my food without being too bothersome. I decided to try the mozzarella and tomato crustini, which was freakin bomb! I also decided to try the Mexicana pizza minus meat and I really enjoyed it. The only disappointing thing was that the toasted ravioli was pre-made and couldn't be made to have no meat. Regardless, this is one of my favorite places and I can't wait to visit again! read more
