pi pizzeria

the deep dish pizza was very good. chicago style but in its own and unique way. the wings were less appetizing, they are baked three times which the waiter said makes them crispy, but they weren't. wings really need to be deep fried and have a nice crispy skin to them.

great experience in downtown st. louis.
appetizers are great- i couldn't decide so i tried 3 of them!
the humus is highly recommended.
pizzas... delicious!

i have no idea why people go crazy about this place. i tried it once when it first came out thought it was mediocre. tried it again to make sure and it was mediocre again. there will not be a third time.

chicago-style deep dish in st. louis, plus cocktails and small plates. try the hanley pizza! date posted: jul 29, 2013 category: pizza address: 6144 delmar blvd, st louis, mo 63112 think of st. louis style pizza and imo’s immediately comes to mind.  the cracker-crust provolone treat is not favored by everyone, but thankfully it is not the only option around.  pi pizzeria is a local chain with locations in downtown, kirkwood, and chesterfield, but today christine and i went to the location in the loop on delmar. they have many fine pizzas you can order (my favorite being the hanley, which has bbq chicken on it) but you have the option of making your own recipe.  we ordered a vegetarian style with pesto, tomatoes, garlic, and ricotta cheese.  it was very good. one of the first things you will notice about the pizza at pi is the cornmeal crust.  not everyone will dig this, but it does have a nice crunch and can really compliment the flavor of the toppings. there are many small plates you can get, including bread with butter and roasted garlic.  this is pretty good, though i wish we got more roasted garlic with it. pi is mostly known for its wide variety of beers on tap, but christine and i are upscale hipsters that prefer booze over brews. their old fashioned was decent but the sangria was very tasty, albeit a little overly sweet.  still, we finished both our drinks with no complaints.   pros : good pizza, many options plus you can make your own. decent sides and small plates. the hummus is good. cons : not the best cocktails, though beer is top notch. cornmeal crust may not appeal to all. charlie’s favorites :  the hanley, chicken wings christine’s favorites : custom pizza, hummus, sangria share the love of good food...

the food is very good, lots of unique choices, but a bit pricey, especially for pizza

i use to love pi. had it today not my fav anymore. i had the hill, my usual. it was missing something and didn't hit the stop. dewey's move to the top of my list.

not worth it. i have been to pi several times. i love their thin crust but it is expensive. our family and another went for dinner and order 3 pizzas, the hill, the delmar and a pepperoni pizza, all large. had four drinks and three sodas, our bill was $120. no appetizers or desert. that may have been our last visit.

i was disappointed by the food. the decor was cute and welcoming and our waiter was very friendly. we had the bucktown and it wasn't anything amazing. the layer of tomato sauce was very strong and overpowered the flavor of the other ingredients, so it tasted like chugging a can of tomato paste. i asked our waiter if their wings were spicy and he said no, but when we got them they had hot pepper on them. the staff are nice, but the food didn't live up to the hype.

it's ok. i had the lincoln park pizza and ordered a cheese pizza as well since me and my friends were splitting the pizzas and the pizza is good but not the best i ever had and it is over priced, so i didn't think it was worth much of my money especially since the waitress that served me and my friends was rude to me. she almost forgot me when it came time to order and packaged everyone's left over pizza but mine she just threw the box right at me.i honestly did not want to tip her and wanted to complain to her manager but my friends were having a great time so i decided to let it slide. overall the pizza is ok but customer did not receive good customer service.

i really tried to like this place, but it really is pretty average. i've had both the thin and deep dish. the thin crust is good and the toppings all sound like they'd be really good, but they've just been average.

great!. the deep dish pizza at pi was delicious. the crust was different in that it tasted more like a pie crust then a pastry (as i usually expect deep dish pizza crust to taste). this was not a disservice by any means and actually brought a unique spin to the dish. i also liked that the pizza was not greasy by any means and while i left full, i did not feel obnoxiously full as i often am after a deep dish. i will definitely return for another slice of pi.

had their deep dish pizza and it sucked. the sauce actually had tomatoes instead of a normal sauce. i will not go here again

worth a pi. it's good pizza. i won't say the best around. if you want thick crust go here. i would say it's not the type of pizza that taste good reheated.

b+...... not the best pizza i've tasted, though the ingredients were quite fresh.

good thin crust, but still too loud. this was my 3rd visit to pi and this time we tried the thin crust "maplewood" pizza and it was very good. the service was fine also. but we were still annoyed by the incredible din generated in the dining room when the place gets full. bring your advil because you're bound to have a headache before you leave!

fine dining?. i think this place is listed under "fine dining" here only because of the prices. this is a loud pizza joint, not fine dining by any definition of the word. my 2 cents :)

trendy but way too loud. have eaten here twice. the deep dish style pizza is ok, but not like the original in chicago. also, the dining area/decor is made up entirely of hard surfaces that reflect sound. with a room full of people it was so loud we could not even hear each other in conversation at our table. before the food arrived i had such a headache i just wanted to leave. the second time i insisted on eating out on the sidewalk, but still wasn't that impressed with the pizza.

gluten free yum!. this is my husband's and my favorite date night restaurant. the pizza is delicious and i love that they have a delicious gluten free option. i've never experienced cross contamination here. the homemade hummus is wonderful and they'll even make it with gluten free bread for dipping! hubby is still upset that the chorizo was removed from the menu, but we always find new combinations to explore / taste. also, love that they source ingredients from local vendors, organic when possible...and no provel! great selection of craft beers (husband is not gluten free) and the sangria is not to be missed! for great pizza, this place is a must.
