Pizzarelli’s Pizzeria-Chicago Deep Dish

Fresh made-from-scratch pizza. I’ve traveled all over the U.S. and have eaten pure New York style and Chicago “thin” pizza. Above all in the St. Louis area this is my favorite pizza place. Call and order a pizza or walk-in. They’ll estimate the time for pickup and what do you know-it’s precise. It can get busy at times too. But that’s ok. Grab a beer at the counter and wait. Did I mention that none of the food you’ll eat on a pizza is processed? All from scratch. This is the kind of pizza where I mentally prepare for it days in advance.

Visiting St Louis for a concert, wife wanted pizza. She looked up the best pizza places in St. Louis and on a Reddit link found this one listed. You weren't too close and we had time so we gave it a try. We ordered a large New York style crust and the toasted raviolis. The raviolis were clearly homemade and absolutely delicious. They're nice and crispy with a delicious filling. The pizza was clearly hand tossed. It was not perfectly circle and it was not perfectly shaped. It was however perfectly delicious. Even just the crust on the edge itself was delicious. You would be doing it a dishonor by not eating a crust. It almost tasted like sourdough. I wish we lived in the area so we could try the different styles of pizza they have as well.

Asked for less cheese and more sauce yellow peppers and Italian sausage hand toss pizza. IT IS THE BEST PIZZA since i left east coast in mid 90s 😋😋

OK, I have been watching barstool reviews on TikTok and started craving a good pizza. I didn’t really know what I was looking for. I talked to a friend down the road and he said you have to try Pizzarellis New York style pizza. I found out they have an awesome double deal of two extra large one topping pizzas for $32. I got a pepperoni and a chicken pizza. Everyone was really nice inside the restaurant. It has a few tables and feels like a legit hole-in-the-wall, best-kept-secret pizza joint right here in West County. When I ate the pizza, I knew this was the real thing. The crispy undercarriage was perfect. The consistency of sauce and cheese was everything it should be. I think this shop is the real thing. Great job guys!

Tried the NY and the Chicago styles. The NY was boring and not too special. The Chicago was almost good but was so salty I couldn't even eat it. They have a Minimum purchase fee for delivery. Which after tax, delivery fee, and tip means that Delivery is a minimum of $45+ basically.
