great place, unfortunately provel. this place was highly recommended to me by a friend and reviews are consistently great, so i schlepped all the way down manchester (faraci is almost to clarkson on manchester) to give this place a try. for starters, it looks like it is in an old taco bell, not the best "ambiance". when we walked in, we were told that the wait for pizza would be close to 45 minutes. i think that was really nice of them to give us the "heads up" in case we didn't want to wait. wait staff was very friendly and seemed to know most of the customers. places with regulars are usually great, so i was very excited. we ordered a small dinner salad (mushy oil and vinegar similar to pasta house and rich & charlie's - not my favorite), garlic cheese bread, and 2 small (12 in) pizzas. my first indication that things were about to go very wrong was the cheese bread. it was made with provel! i couldn't believe that none of the reviews had mentioned that the pizza was st. louis style with provel. anyway, the garlic cheese bread was fine except for the provel, but since i'm not from stl i really can't handle provel. my husband, a stl native, was happy. the pizza finally arrived very close to the 45 minute wait that we were warned about. they do thin rectangular pizzas here, covered with icky provel cheese. the crust was fantastic, obviously homemade with a great family recipe. it was super crispy on the edges and held up fine in the softer middle. i couldn't detect any sauce because of the soupy provel, but i'm sure it was there. toppings were fine. faraci does a brisk carry out business and they obviously have a devoted clientele of regulars, but i was incredibly disappointed. i just can't enjoy any pizza with provel cheese. i can highly recommend to anyone who does like provel since my husband loved it. he said it reminded him of rigazzi's, whatever that means. for those who don't like provel, i am glad to provide the one review that will help you to stay far, far away.

i brought some people here because i had heard that they had, "the best pizza in st. louis." it wasn't bad, and he staff was really nice. however, it wasn't the best. we got the faraci special, and nonna's meatball pizza. i definitely liked the special more, but overall it was far from the best i had since living in st. louis.

best pizza in town. this is our favorite pizza restaurant! the food is prepared in-house with fresh high-quality ingredients. the entire restaurant is spotless; you could eat off the floors in the kitchen. the servers are friendly and helpful. we have been eating faraci's pizza since we moved back here in 1980 and it's just as good today as it was in 1980. we now have three generations eating there!. vince faraci is a rare person -- a business owner who stays on the premises when the business is open and cares about the quality of his product and his customers.

taste versus cost. i used to love eating at faraci's. up until my son left home, he and i would go once a month. we could get a large pizza, 2 salads and 2 sodas for around $20. i hadn't been since he left home 5 years ago and decided to treat myself. a small pizza and plain (not chef) salad was $26!! all i could think about on the drive home was the groceries i could have gotten for the price of that one meal. no more treating myself to faraci's ... well, unless i hit the lottery lol.

lifelong customer and it keeps getting better. my family and i have been lifelong faraci pizza customers.. the faraci's are amazing hosts, offering some of the best restaurant service i have ever had. busy or slow, the staff always provide an incredible dining experience that is second to none. as well as the second-to-none service, the food inexplicably amazing. always containing the finest, freshest ingredients, farcical pizza offers the best italian dining experience in town. for an amazing family dining experience, faraci pizza is the best in town, as well as the best italian food there is.

wow!. i have been going to faraci's pizza since i was little and i will be the first to say that is amazing! today, we went and got pizza, a salad, and cheese garlic bread. we were pleasantly greeted upon arrival and were seated immediately. service was prompt and the food was amazing! i would highly recommend faraci's to anyone who is considering paying them a visit. they do a great job all around!

the worst!. i don't normally bother writing a "take down" type of review, but in the case of faraci's pizza i feel like i need to warn everyone who may have read positive reviews online to rethink what they're reading. i've had pizza from coast to coast, and certainly everywhere in st. louis. i finally made a 45 minute trek from downtown st. louis to try this place, based upon positive reviews online and the fact that the place has apparently, somehow, been in existence since 1968. i immediately regretted my decision. this is possibly some of the worst pizza i've ever had. anywhere. ever. it's not that they may have had a bad day or anything like that. this is just some awful, low quality, garbage food. i don't care if the recipe is 100 years old, this is just awful pizza. if you appreciate good pizza, try places like talayna's, ami's, pi, dewey's, lapizza, blackthorn pub, pizza a go go, and so on. faracis is nowhere near this quality of pizza, this is more like totino's or something you might buy at a gas station. it makes little caesar's seem like fine dining. you've been warned.
