I’ve lived here my whole life and I still don’t get St. Louis style pizza.

oh noes! I love faraci’s. I don’t know if it’s just because I grew up in Ferguson and it was THE pizza that was present at after basketball game gatherings. Acutally, I didn’t like it at all as a kid (I thought Litle Caesars was the bomb), but it’s still nostalgic for me. I’m sorry you didn’t like it. I know the St. Louis style isn’t for everybody. Like I said, didn’t like this kind of pizza when I was younger…I guess it grew on me. Also, I guess the sauce isn’t a big deal for me at Faraci’s because I always get the house special which has so many toppings that the sauce hardly plays a role.

My brother lives right by Pirronnes. I’ve had it and, yes, very good. I’ll have to head over there and have a Pirrone’s vs. Faraci’s taste test party!!

Can you put up another post so I can stop looking at that disgusting “pizza”?

I have to admit, in a weak moment, I let my wife order Imo’s this week. It was awful. Although I have had good Imo’s before, it’s almost always bad.

If you’re looking for a great St. Louis-style pizza, try Schottzie’s. I don’t think there’s one in North County, but there is one in Maplewood and one in South County (near Tesson Ferry & Lindbergh).

Pizza-a-Go-Go is absolutely worth checking out. (BYOB if you plan on eating there.) But it’s not St. Louis-style, at all.

Ferguson/Florissant, can’t be more than a couple miles difference between them

I had the rectangle. I went to Faraci’s.

I was not impressed.

Ever tried Pizza A Go Go on Ivanhoe? I keep hearing great things about them, but haven’t tried it either….

Yes, they’re rectangle. Faraci’s is in Ferguson. I bet you went to Pirrone’s. That’s the one everyone talks about.

One of my favorite…though I’m afraid I just remember it fondly…is Nick & Elena’s in probably Breckenridge Hills. I went there when I was heavy into disk golf with a whole crew of professional disc golfers. Interesting experiences to say the least.

Are the pizzas at Faraci’s rectangle in shape? I went to a pizza place in Florissant a long time ago, hearing that it was the bomb, and was completely disappointed.

I’ll have to check out Pirrone’s.

A persoal favorite of mine is That’s a Nicea Pizza, at Tesson Ferry and Baptist Church Rd. Make their own sauce, shells, good cheese blend etc…actually Paulie, cooks up some real good everything there…
