pizzeria tivoli

we were passing through town on the interstate when traffic was backed up for hours. we decided to find a local pizzaplaceand pass the time that way. we arrived at the neighborhood pizzeria tivoli. it is a littleplacewith an open kitchen, we were the only folks in the dinning room but folks were coming and going with take out orders. as we were looking at the menu, the chef came out to let us know he was looking forward to preparing something good for us. we ordered two pies and the melon and prosciutto. the appetizer of melon and prosciutto seemed too odd to pass up and i was not disappointed with the sweet and salty combo. our pizzas were out soon later and we were impressed with the thin, crispy, charred crust. the ingredients tasted so fresh and complimented the large shavings of parmesan. this find is a total win and i will be back next time i am passing through st.l.

horrible customer service. i recently purchased a living social coupon for pizzeria tivoli. my husband and i live in the neighborhood and we had ordered takeout from there before and really liked it. i called toplacea takeout order with the coupon and was gruffly told it was for dine in only. i looked at the coupon in my hand (and had several others with me read it) and no where on it said dine in only. i said this very politely to the person on the phone and the immediate rude response was "i don't have time to argue with you. that is to get customers to come into the restaurant." a few more rude comments from him followed. if i could convey the annoyed, gruff tone of the person on the other end of the phone i would. apparently retaining customers is of no concern to this place. i will not be returning.

if you're looking for italy, this is as close as you will get. pizzeria tivoli? doesn't sound too ingenious and it's off the beaten path. but maybe that's what they're after; let the common south sider pass by thisplaceand let those of us who really appreciate european casual dining enjoy this gem.

the pizza is exactly what you find in italy: flavorful, thin crust that is just the right consistency so i can use a knife and fork. the margherita is my favorite.

the caesar salad is great with shaved parmesan cheese, like they do in restaurants in italy and you can taste just the right amount of anchovy.

some people may not like the blonde server (perhaps related to the owner), but she adds some flavour to the place!

i highly recommend this place, it's total quality over quantity.

excellent pizza!. this is the best, most authentic, pizza i've had outside of italia. the wood-fired brick oven imparts a traditional texture and flavor to the crust, a flavor that you just don't get from a natural-gas oven. thisplaceis very similar to my favoriteplacein palermo, where you have a great selection of pies for not a lot of cash. absolutely delicious!

best pizza on the southside. thisplacehad the best pizza in town. wood fired brick oven pizza with fresh ingredients, this is a little slice of heaven!

great pizza!. real wood-fired pizza with a tiny bit of a european atmosphere. it's not the most speediestplacein town but, it's well worth the wait. the pizza is delicious and reasonably priced. this is not your chain pizza parlor. if you were a fan of il vicino's in clayton, you won't be disappointed with pizzeria tivoli . i'm adding this to my list of places to go again and again and again ...

all in all, for about $10/pie thisplaceis a pretty good deal

this could very easily be the worst wanna be pizza joint. the appetizers were horrible. the pizza was not cooked and tasted like frozen pizza. finally, theplacecouldn't even give me change for my bill so i was forced to give the waiter a bigger tip than he deserved. i wouldn't recommend thisplaceto anyone.

yum!. this is our favorite pizzaplacein st. louis. we love the brick oven pizza and the ceasar salad is amazing. my fiancé proposed there (but i loved it before that)! atmosphere is neighborhood but hip and always hospitable!

the two naysayers have obviously never beev anywhere nicer than white castle! thisplaceis amazing. their pizza is specialty and their toppings are diverse--just ask them for something. if you want slop, go to lil caesars. if you want to have a gourmet wood fired oven pizza, try pizzeria tivoli. they're great!
