I didn't know anything about Fortel's before and was hoping to try it this weekend when I return. I'll probably eat at one on the east side and HOPE that the service isn't poor.

Not that it was the best Za in st. louis, but Pizzeria Della Piazza on the Hill has officially closed its doors. I would liken it's thin crust pie to Fortels.

Thin crust: Imo's. This WAS pizza to me growing up, and the effete mewlings of the anti-provel elitists will never change that.



Biggest a**holes: Fortel's. Went to the Affton restaurant with a large family group several years ago. They screwed up our order, blamed us for the screwup, and refused to fix the order. Great place to eat for those who enjoy being ripped off and treated like sh*t.

I've been to Fortel's a million times. Good pizza, never had a problem. I suspect it was your fault.

I suspect they treated you right because they know a fellow a**hole when they see one. Professional courtesy and all that.

And what is your behavior reminiscent of, oh pious one?



A shame Pizza della Piazza is closed. They had the most authentic Chicago-style pizza in St. Louis. Black Thorn is great, but not overly authentic.



I like Maurizio's...

You know what? Forget it. It's well-known who the pricks are on these forums, even to a lurker like me. I'm not gonna get dragged into their booger-flicking contest.

Thanks.

Haven't had that in ages. Greasy, but tasty, IIRC. The place always seemed kinda shady to me though.

I LOVE Maurizio's, but never hear too many people giving it love. I haven't been there ever since I moved to the area though that I can recall. I'm gonna have to hit it up soon.

Is Maurizio's the place downtown on or around Olive and 10th?

Yes, I believe its 1107 Olive.

thanks! I've been meaning to try that place sometime. Right now my pizza of choice is Ferraro's.



Pantera's was my favorite as a kid--they used to be all over the place in the early 80's (anyone else remember the commercials with Mario?) so I was excited to hear there are still a couple in existence.



But when we were at Saratoga Lanes recently and some folks had it delivered there it did not look or smell too appealing. It's a shame when stuff from your childhood hits rock bottom. Sort of like seeing your favorite baseball player as a kid and now he's fat, bald and pathetic.

Had Pantara's from teh Dellwood location a few weeks back and thought it was pretty good. A favorite memory of the youth was playing Indoor soccer up at Dellwood and enjoying pies from Pantara afterward. Good times.

Give the Pantera's in Maplewood a try, because I want to know if everyone thinks it sucks as bad as I do. Like I said, I enjoy pizza from just about anywhere, so for me to not like one prepared "fresh" at a pizzeria bothers me.

Just had Feraro's for the first time. Incredible. Great area, great weather, great pizza.

^I ate the Mario's pizza at the Stable, that was awesome. I imagine all their pizza's are good. I will have to try Onesto sometime.

Don't forget Katie's Pizzeria in Clayton. I've heard great things about this joint. Met her at Herbies and found her to be pretty amusing. Ref: http://www.yelp.com/biz/katies-pizzeria ... Xnwl-wCQBQ

I heard some good things on here also about Katies, but some really bad reviews from friends so i had to walk over and check this place out myself...



reminded me of the pizza Bread Co offered(s). I gave it 2 thumbs down.
