Hey, man, I have been to St. Louis, MO, and found it charming and the locals friendly, great sports town; but I never had any pizza. After reading descriptions in preceding posts too onerous to iterate, I nominate the entire city of St. Louis as being one of the 10 worst pizzas in the U.S.A. C'mon, St. Louis: Nowhere to go but up!

I have to disagree. For the value, the pizza is actually excellent, especially the pizzas with everything on them.

I would like to add the entire category of Take-n-Bake pizza's. The one near me in CA was Papa Murphy's, I think. The equivalent of a thawed frozen pizza. After the novelty of the first, I can't imagine paying take-out prices for such crap and then having to provide my own oven. And they don't even offer delivery. :td:

Add me to the "Cicci's Pizza is nasty" list, but I'm allergic to something in the sauce at Chuck E. Cheese, which I discovered after being forced to attend a child's birthday party there years ago. Lips swelled up to the size of a plum. :td:

Man, I have eaten some really bad pizza in my day. :(

value and pizza should not be used in the same sentence when describing good pizza. If one can't afford a good (non-Costco or Safeway or (insert your crappy chain)) pizza perhaps one is living beyond their means.

Based upon a couple votes claiming it is a good pizza, I'm going to pick a Costco pizza up this Thursday and give it a try. Just to clarify, is this pizza that I take home a bake off or is this a cooked pizza that I'm picking up?

You and this thread were a topic at lunch today (not to mention your failure to show up :mad: ). I can't believe you're admitting to planning to do this! :D

sorry I missed it, the saga of an broken down older car really only used to haul our dogs and go to the cottage v buying a new one, suburban public transportation (non-existent for the most part), etc etc, I'm bummed I missed it.

I in no way can imagine Costco having a great pizza but I will give it a shot tomorrow night. (I'm such a trooper) :)

I think my all-time worst would have to be a place in Penzance, England - it was on the seafront, attached to an old hotel, the Queen's (once probably lovely, but now with all the ambience of a really down-on-its-luck daycare centre).

I ordered a Margarita (going by the keep it simple, give them less chance to screw up philosophy). It came ice-cold, with a thick coating of sickly yellow tinned sweetcorn, and no cheese.

That was one trip I was very happy to cut short.

That's nothing
 

I know we are getting of topic here (unless the UK is the 51st state still):

We I first stayed in the UK I was given the following under the description of Pizza:
Toast (slightly toasted)
Ketchup on top
Slice of Salami
Slice of Kraft Processed Cheese

You "pizza" sounds delicious :)

A slight reprieve for St. Louis.

Yes, the "St. Louis-style" pizzas are some of the worst pizzas imaginable.

However, if you find yourself in STL and want a pizza, go visit Fortel's Pizza Den. They use mozzerella cheese, it's not a wafer-thin crust, and it's fantastic.

Thanks for that tip. I go to STL fairly frequently and it would be nice to be able to get a good pizza. Odd thing is, there is some absolutely first rate Italian food in that town and yet alongside it some of the worst stuff imaginable.

That reminds me of the Tandoori chicken pizza that I had from Domino's in Chennai, India. (No, it wasn't my choice).

New York style in St. Louis
 

I don't mind Imo's personally but if you want damn good NY style pizza, you can't go wrong at Racanelli's

BTW, I've spent a lot of time on the east coast and Chicago and I've eaten a ton of crap. Like anywhere, you just need to ask around.

There used to be a little chain around STL....and elsewhere in MO...called Minsky's. It wasn't too bad....if you didn't order "St. Louis style".
