A lot of big-meal Valentine’s Day romance will be held on the weekend before the actual holiday, leaving the day itself in need of a little more…love. An easy solution: warm your boo’s heart with a heart-shaped pizza at any of the pizzerias below. Cheesy? Yes—but also delicious.
Flying solo this V Day? Don’t feel down. When you order a heart-shaped pizza, the best part is you won’t have to share. That’s a win right there.

Mama’s on The Hill (formerly Mama Campisi’s) offers a St. Louis-style thin crust Valentine Pie for $16.99 with limited delivery available with a 24-hour notice. Don’t forget to add an order of their legendary toasted ravioli. (Mama’s actually takes credit for originating the St. Louis favorite—legend has it that a cook accidentally dropped a ravioli order in hot oil instead of hot water, and the rest is history.)
