Creole Connection at PW Pizza
Pi
Long before this pizzeria was slinging deep-dish pies in D.C. and Miami, Pi was our own local pizza empire, built upon a foundation of butter and cornmeal. Multiple locations, 314-727-6633, restaurantpi.com.
Peel Wood Fired Pizza
For those on the Missouri side of the river, Edwardsville, Illinois, has become a dining destination, thanks in part to Peel’s lightly charred pies. 921 S. Arbor Vitae, Edwardsville, Ill., 618-659-8561, peelpizza.com.
The Good Pie
We come for the Neapolitan pies, but linger to soak up the scent and the suds. 6665 Delmar, 314-899-9221, thegoodpiestl.com.
PW Pizza
The pillowy doughiness of PW’s crust reminds us of fresh pretzels, yet it has the structure to withstand an aggressive roster of toppings. 2017 Chouteau, 314-241-7799, pwpizza.com.
Pizzeria Tivoli
The pizzas pulled from the oven of this South City trea-sure continue to fly below the radar, leaving us to ponder, “How long can a hidden gem stay hidden?” 5861 S. Kingshighway, 314-832-3222, pizzeriativoli.net.
