Pizzeria da Gloria

Roasted cauliflower starter was delcious and maybe the best I have ever had. Came for the pizza though. 12" sausage pizza for $19 means I had high hopes. The flavor of the pizza was on point, great job. The crust was floppy, but the edge was crispy and airy. Good pie, but size for price is a little unbalanced in my opinion. I also tried this one. Stracciatella: tomato sauce, hand-pulled stracciatella (burrata filling), California extra virgin olive oil, black pepper Looks interesting, but wasnt a fan of it myself. It didn't taste bad. The only moment of real 'meh' was a few bites were a little cold, noticeably. Canned soda I ❤️ because I don't have to worry about cleanliness of the soda fountain. Overall, it was good pizza. For the price I would like a bit more pie, but maybe that is the new norm with the cost of everything increasing?

This is a small place pumping out delicious in house made food. We started with the meatballs, roasted Brussel sprouts and the creamy Italian salad. The meatballs were moist and had a great texture. The sauce was just the right amount and had a little spice to them...just the way I like them. The salad was outstanding and not like a salad I have had before. Great toppings and such great dressing. The sprouts were on another level of delicious and I can say hand on heart the best I have ever had out. They were charred just right and were not bitter as sprouts can be at times. I got the sausage pizza and added mushrooms. That was the right choice for sure. The sausage was perfectly cooked and the flavor was spot on as well. The crust was thin but not the thin St Louis style thank goodness. It was Neapolitan style and had the beautiful blisters feom the wood fired oven. Absolutely outstanding place all around. Will be back for sure.

Pizza da Gloria on the Hill is proof great lunch special still exist. I don’t shop for specials but this is a true special. Salad + pizza for $23 that could feed me until next week! That’s crazy! I went with cheese pizza with jalapeno and the creamy Italian salad and chef’s kiss. Joe Kurowski clearly learned something in the “Michelangelo of dough” masterclass because this crust is art. One of my fave pizzas in the city. Don’t you dare sleep on the vibe at this place. The patio is fantastic.

This is gourmet pizza, hard stop. They somehow manage to make nontraditional pizza while it still tasting exactly like pizza should. This most recent visit I tried the Penne Vodka Pizza, which is basically the best possible version of mac and cheese pizza you will ever have. Also, if you’re into your pepperoni curling into perfect little grease cups, they’ve got you. Tip: ask for a side of their homemade ranch and a side of Mike’s hot honey. Mix them, dip your 🍕. You’re welcome. This is my second most favorite pizza joint in the Lou. 🏆

I ordered the Patate with pancetta and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of the potatoes, pecorino, and the herbs was perfect, and the pancetta added so much flavor. The crust was just right — crispy on the outside and soft inside. I really enjoyed every bite and would definitely order it again. Highly recommend with a Peroni beer!

The straciatella pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life! It was so good and I’m usually very picky about pizza as I came to Saint Louis from growing up in Chicago. I also liked the salad! It’s a cute place and the food is great! Can’t wait to go back.

ChatGPT says this is one of two best pizza places on the hill, which is the Italian neighborhood in St. Louis. They had a good basic Caesar salad. Their potato appetizer was amazing. The sauce that it was served in, we saved to mop up with pieces of pizza. Got the sausage and fennel pizza which was generally very good. The ingredients were excellent, and the outer crust was cooked to perfection. My only criticism was that the crust under the center of the pizza was very thin and was cooked, but not very firm texture wise. In fact, it was very soft. The tiramisu was served as it is in Italy in a single bowl serving. Huge portion that the two of us split, and it was plenty for each of us. It was excellent. Will definitely go back.

Difficult to please an Italian with pizza in the US but this was really good/authentic pizza! Well done!! The tiramisu was not at par with the pizza.

The house salad was exceptional! Fresh mixed greens with a house balsamic dressing over radishes, red pepper and onions. Pizzas all are 12". We had the margarita and the sausage. The crust is made in house daily and has a lovely chew while still being thin. Meatball appetizer was also delicious.

Unusual for us to try a pizza place we've never been to before when we're on the Hill instead of one of our known favorites, but it was the MIL's birthday and she wanted pizza for dinner. This place had some good recommendations, so we tried it and weren't disappointed. Our server was a little bit slow and screwed up (maybe it was the back of the house, IDK) one of my two pizzas, but I was having a nice time and didn't feel the need to bring the mistake up even though I wouldn't eat the pizza, my wife and daughter would the next day. The pizzas are cooked in a wood burning oven and are fantastic. The crust is nice and chewy with just the right amount of crunch. They sell their dough balls to go for $5 as well! I had several pumpkin beers and completely forgot about the dough balls. Next time. The place is bigger than I thought it would be from the outside. There's a bar in the back in addition to the seating in the front. The kitchen is open so you can see the crew making the food. My wife and daughter enjoyed a salad which was easily big enough for two people to split. If you're in the mood for a good sit down pizza meal and don't want another Imo's style STL style pizza (I like them as much as the next guy, but variety is the spice of life and all that, right?) this is a great place to try.

I'm a huge fan of pumpkin anything, so when I saw that this place had a pumpkin vodka pizza, I jumped at the chance to try it. Keep in mind that I did carry out, so I can't really speak to the service, though the person who handed me my order was nice enough. It was also a pretty quick turnaround. Maybe 25 minutes at most, from ordering to getting the food. The pizza itself was very fresh, delicious, and pretty unique. The one criticism I would give, however, is on the side of sauce in the box. They should probably look at taping that container or keeping it separate, as I ended up with a garlic scented box, as the container spilled its contents while I was driving. Fortunately, my box of tissues and Blues magnet calendar took the bulk of the hit, but it was a bit messier than intended. Still, I would return, though I'll skip the side of sauce next time.

Great specialty pizzas if you like thin crust with thick outer border of crust and specialty toppings. Bonci is my favorite. Pizza is always perfectly cooked and is wood-fired pizza. Meatballs are good too. Not a huge dining spot so would recommend reservations for dinner. Service personnel is nice. Cool to see the open kitchen atmosphere.

I've been to pizzeria da Gloria on 2 separate occasions. They were able to accommodate our larger party which was fantastic! We were also able to order lemon drop shots at dinner as a part of a birthday celebration as well. I love the way they cook their pizzas and they have really good cocktails too. The staff is very friendly and pretty on top of things. I really can't wait to try out the patio as it looks like it has a totally different vibe than the inside!

I forget the name of the pizza that I had, but it has the Baratta cheese! Oh my gosh, it was so amazing

The food was phenomenal. It was a warm and cozy atmosphere and the staff was friendly.

Hands down best pizza I've had in St Louis. I got mine to go - got the mushroom pizza and it was amazing. I also got ranch as I typically dip mine for more flavor but I didn't even want to dip bc the flavor on its own was incredible, from the crust, to the sauce, to the cheese and toppings ratios everything was perfection. It was delivered curbside right when I arrived so it was very quick and easy to get. Loved it and can't wait to come back and try it in the restaurant!

Wood-fired pizzas on the Hill, featuring seasonal flavors and ingredients with an incredible patio space. They have Aperitivo Hour Tuesday-Thursday (5-6 p.m.) with discounted spritzes and small plates. During Lent, they offer a deliciously unique Clam Pizza! You can also buy a dough ball and have a pizza night at home. I think they offer the best spritzes in the city.

Cute pizzeria on The Hill. Made a reservation through their website. Lots of drink selections, wine and beer. Great salads and pizza. We selected a pizza that the proceeds would aid tornado victims. Nice!! St. Louis style with provel cheese it was delicious. Bonus for me that they offer turkey sausage. Salads were fresh and drinks were cold. Nice staff and a cute restaurant.

This place always delivers. Pizza, drinks, vibe, patio, location... they've got it all. Their limoncello spritz was my obsession all last summer, and honestly, it's still hard to beat. My super picky brother can't get enough of their pizza. The wood-fired pies are next level; you can taste the olive oil and fresh ingredients in every bite. The Caesar salad is solid too. I was celebrating my birthday tonight and they even brought out a complimentary dessert, with a choice between two, a nice touch. My friend and I have a standing reservation every couple of weeks, and you should too (because you WILL need one). Trust.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis. Immediately when we walked in, it smelled so good in the restaurant that we became even more excited to try it. The service was great, they had seen that it was my mom's birthday from my reservation and offered us a free desert. Most of all the pizzas were amazing. I especially loved the pancetta and quark pizza which is one of their seasonal options. We each got a pizza and there was leftovers.

Fantastic pizza and the service was excellent. We sat out in the courtyard and it was a lovely day to enjoy some of the best pizza we've had. Excellent choice!

Oh my goodness! So delish! Stopped in for lunch between appointments. I'd heard of this b place but never been. All of the waitstaff were kind, friendly, and efficient. I'd mentioned the coming appointment and the waitress immediately took my order and promptly brought my salad followed by the pizza, a yummy lunch special. The house Balsamic salad dressing is the best I've tasted! Delicious. The pizza was hot and crispy but chewy as well. It was great. Took half the pizza home. The place filled up as I ate and the owner (I believe) came out and helped expedite service. Excellent choice for a delicious lunch. You can see into the kitchen which was fun to see the pizzas being made. Great place with a nice atmosphere. I'll be back with friends!

Great pizza, interesting variety, well made and a superb char Their own cocktails, only the second place I have found ferment artichoke cocktails on a menu and it was delicious Service is to be as expected Excellent use of the space with all the dining area and pizza oven. *Update* What a difference a week makes! When to lunch on Saturday with a 1pm reservation. Promptly seated and served then waited over 50 minutes for a couple of menu (no sub) pizzas to be made. It was still good but we did not want to spend our afternoon waiting for pizza.

Came in on a Saturday for dinner with reservation for 5, seated immediately. Food 5/5: ordered the mushroom pizza, was really delicious, made in a pizza oven, crispy crust with plentiful toppings. Ambiance 4/5: casual, retro pizza shop vibes, tables are a bit close together and very loud inside Service 4/5: friendly and polite but slow. Took about 30 mins for food to come out. Service was very accommodating about us splitting check and otherwise great. Value 3.5/5: overall ok value, great pizza and priced accordingly. Overall 4.2/5: great pizza at an ok price. Ambiance is ok but fairly slow to get good. Would consider take out as a good option

This has got to be one of the top pizza places in STL! I was so impressed! We started off with their red wine special and some limoncello spritzes. We also shared a Caesar salad and fall salad - both delicious and would get again! The Stracciatella Pizza was good but not my favorite, I think the idea and execution of the cold cheese on top of the pizza wasn't my vibe, but my friend absolutely loved it! I really liked the mushroom pizza, it was excellent. The pepperoni pizza was good and the fresh pickled jalapeños added a tangy kick. Service was great as well, especially for how busy they were on a Friday night!

Ordered online for Marg pizza. Curbside pickup in back parking lot. Pizza was flavorful. Slightly burnt crust. Olive oil taste was good and crust was nice and crispy. I'd recommend ordering and dining in for full experience. Located right off corner of Marconi. Do try.

LOVE the food here. The pizzas especially feel authentically Italian because there are only a handful of really high-quality ingredients done really well. I love the stracciatella pizza so much because it is perfect in its simplicity. That paired with a glass of white wine and the flourless chocolate tart to go? Perfection. Removed one star for the actual physical restaurant -- it's small and the acoustics are crazy so it just feels super loud in there (God, am I old!?) on a busy night. Easily solved by sitting outside or doing carryout. Highly recommend PdG when you're wanting that better-than-basic pizza and Italian experience.

My favorite patio; make a reservation to make everyone's life easier. Sharable salads, drink menu still wonderful and staff is always friendly and efficient. Will be back again and again!

Amazing Pizza tried the eggplant and I t was absolutely delicious. The service was fast and friendly, our waiter Johnathan was a delight. The place was very nice and open.

Amazing pizza and good service! I celebrated a friend's birthday here and we all split 3 pizzas for 6 people (we probably could have done one more). The amatriciana was a crowd favorite, followed by the spring onion pesto and the stracciatella, which was good but a bit soggy. The dining room is small so definitely make a reservation for the weekends. Street parking can be difficult so also plan accordingly.

I've heard so many good things about Pizzeria Da Gloria and finally got the chance to try it! It exceeded my expectations and I loved the ambiance of the outdoor patio, but the interior is super cute too. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and the mortadella skewer appetizer on the recommendation of our server and we loved it. Service was very friendly and quick as well. Next time I go, I'll be sure to try something from their drink menu!

So glad I got to check Pizzeria Da Gloria off my "to try" list! Very cute ambiance. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The menu was super straightforward I loved how many unique topping combinations they offered. We ordered a sausage pizza and the pepperoni (which has jalapeños). Both were delicious and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. The pickled jalapeños on the pepperoni pie were such a nice touch and brought so much flavor. The pizzas had the right amount of char. I can't wait to return and try more of the offerings at Pizzeria Da Gloria.

Overall, this place provides a great spot for wood fire pizza in the middle of the Hill. I would come back, with a reservation next time. WAIT TIME: I joined the waitlist an hour before I came here. The wait time was pretty accurate to the estimate. It's a popular place so I recommend making a reservation days in advance if possible. FOOD: Group of 4, we split two pizzas and a meatball appetizer. The meatballs are excellent with the ricotta cheese base! We added an extra one so we could each have one, since it comes with 3 usually. Definitely recommend. The pizzas we got were the pepperoni and the amatriciana. The pepperoni came with pickled jalapeños. Wouldn't say it was my favorite combo. The amatriciana was phenomenal! The guanciale with the chili paste made an excellent pairing. I also got a limoncello spritz which was tasty and very tart. SERVICE: Our waitress was decent. She did take a little bit to refill our waters, so had to ask for more, but she was nice. AMBIANCE: Cozy spot in the middle of the Hill. Definitely fits the vibe of the neighborhood. We ate indoors with a view into the open kitchen. Next time I will try the outdoor patio since it looks quite pleasant! PRICE: $20 per pizza, $12 drinks, $12 for meatballs. I would say it's average for Italian, maybe a little pricier. But it was worth it.

I did take out service on Valentine's Day and man this place was popping! They were fully booked and people were waiting! Just goes to show how popular and good the food was! However because of this I did have to wait an extra 15minutes on top of my scheduled pick up time which was a little annoying but understandable due to the rush of the day. Each person in my group got a pizza (~$20 a pie, so a little expensive per person) and we shared so we could try different ones. Depending on the person you can definitely finish a whole pie by oneself so they aren't super large but definitely filling! I personally got the pasta pizza which I thought was kinda fun as I hadn't seen that in a while! It was really good, the vodka sauce was light but still flavorful and it didn't overpower the other ingredients in the pizza. The main thing that I had was that the pizzas didn't stay super hot by the time I got home (~15min drive) so just keep that in mind if your pizza needs require that! Definitely had a good overall experience and would love to come back and dine in next time!

Located in the iconic Hill neighborhood in St.Louis famous for its Italian eatery's. Pizza Da Gloria is an excellent accompaniment to the great restaurants located there. It was crowded and you need a reservation, to eat in the main dining room, we didn't have a reservation so we had the option of eating on the heated patio which was almost as comfortable as eating in the dining room area. The waitress was friendly and helpful and waters were filled often. We started with the three crispy mortadella skewers dressed with agrodolce sauce. The meat was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the sauce was fantastic. After eating the skewers (we saved the sauce to dip our pizza crust ends into) and I'm glad we did. The pizzas were wood fired,oven baked, with airy structured dough that was crisp on the outsides of the crust and beautiful air bubbles (which I Love). The inside was fluffy and tasty, We ordered the Pepperoni with some pickled jalapeños which added some zing, but not too much tomato sauce, oregano, mozzarella, cup & char pepperoni, pecorino romano. The sausage pizza was delicious with juicy sausage crumbs sprinkled evenly. The mushroom pizza was a white based pizza, white wine lemon cream sauce, garlic, mozzarella, roasted cremini and oyster mushrooms, black pepper, parsley, pecorino romano. Then for dessert we split a tiramisu, chocolate delight. It was all devoured and we will be back for more soon!

I was looking for the best pizza spot in STL and was recommended Pizzeria Da Gloria on Reddit. I came in on a Sunday afternoon and it was not very busy. I was seated promptly and had a chance to peruse the menu. I liked the Italian movie poster decoration surrounding the restaurant. Looking at their menu, I was intrigued by a few of their appetizer items, but settled on ordering a pizza that was half pepperoni and half margherita. I also ordered their Italian lager Beer for Pizza. The beer was 10/10, it was light, crispy and just a very very subtle hint of sweetness. The pizza was very good, 9/10. It was a little greasy and a bit over sauced but the flavor overall was wonderful. I do wish there was more basil on the pizza. The crust was light and delightfully charred. I even bought some dough to go! I would definitely come back again to try some of their specialty pizza.

We made a last minute reservation on a Friday night. We sat in the heated tent which was very warm. We started with the meatballs. They had a little spice to them. They come on a bed of ricotta cheese and marinara sauce. We spilt the penne vodka pizza. This is one of the three specials they currently have. Their pizza is Neapolitan style. The crust had the perfect amount of char. Eating noodles on pizza seemed odd but it was delicious. I would have given it a five star had the soda not come in a can.

Been wanting to get to pizzeria da gloria for a while now. Fire. I mean fire. I only got take out, but would love to sip a cocktail on their patio. It is beautiful. The pizza was superb. The pepperoni was some of the best I have ever had. Salty, not too crispy. Thick enough to not get too crispy. The crust and cheese were amazing. So much flavor. Thin crust and a nice, salty cheese with Italian spices. All in all, a superb pizza. The meatballs were awesome. They melt in your mouth. Chewy, tender, and packed with flavor. The ricotta is light and airy. The meatball with the marinara, pecorino, and ricotta is the perfect precursor to an elite pizza. The servers were super nice as well. Didn't get a ton of interaction because I had carryout, but they all greeted me with a smile and were super polite. Excited to get back in for a date night!

Yummm! The pizza hasn't even digested yet, but I had to write a review. I was eyeing this place last year and I finally made it in while visiting my family. I ordered the marinara and added mushrooms and onions. Wow. The umami flavor from the mushrooms hit me from the first bite. So good combined with a little sweetness from the sauce. Add a dash of chili flakes and it's perfection. The crust is exactly how I like it. It's floppy and a bit doughy towards the center with a bubbly crust. This feels like eating pizza at my favorite places in Europe. Thank you! I'll be back.

I was able to grab a seat at the bar on a busy weekday night and now completely understand why it was so busy. The bartender was friendly and made great suggestions. I ended up with a wine flight and the Bonci pizza. Their wine list is has a lot of variety, so the flight was definitely the way to go to try more. The pizza was delicious - flavorful thin sliced roasted eggplant with the perfect amount of spice. I would say the size is a little more than one serving, but if you're going to split one, definitely get an appetizer. I'll be back to try more!

Really good pizza place! We got the vegan pizza, which had a lot of flavor from that chili oil! Very spicy and satisfying. Our server kept our waters filled, which was nice. And love that there's a legit brick oven. The only negative were the bathrooms, which were utterly horrendous. But otherwise, we enjoyed our lunch here!

We didn't have a reserve so the wait was long, but it was absolutely worth it! Such a cute spot tucked in the hill with absolutely amazing pizza. We ordered a salad and a pizza for two and it was a great amount of food for us. That being said, the pizza was so good I could have probably eaten two completely on my own! I do wish they had more visibility on their menu for what options are vegetarian. That being said, our server was knowledgeable and able to help determine what was vegetarian and what is not. I will also say we did get a tiramisu and the phone did not eat first - it was absolutely amazing! The lady fingers were not soggy and the flavor profile of it was divine!

Finally made it to Pizzeria de Gloria on the Hill, known for their wood fire pizza. It was a beautiful night, so we were able to sit on the patio, which was a nice vibe. I had a refreshing salad and we got the mushroom pizza . We subbed tomato sauce for the white wine lemon cream sauce. I did not know how I would like that, and I was NOT feeling adventurous enough to try. Plus, I was hungry! The pizza was really good, but salty. I am assuming from the mushrooms or the pecorino romano. The drinks were sub par, and I am not sure they know how to make an actual French 75. Service was standard. I'd go back because the pizza was good and I love pizza!

Really enjoyed the outside seating. The garlic potatoes were super garlicky, which was great. Enjoyed the mushroom pizza. Cocktails were nice too.

Had the Mortadella Skewers. They were perfectly cooked, a little crispy around the edges with a sublime agridolce sauce. Next had the Sausage Pizza. Perfect crust with delicious sausage and cheeses. The service was great, friendly and professional. Strictly street parking, but there were fairly close spaces available. It wasn't super crowded but you can make reservations which is nice. Can't wait to return!

The Hill is one of my favorite foodie neighborhoods and I was excited to try Pizzeria Da Gloria. To me, this one of the best places to bring picky eaters. Who doesn't love delicious pizza? We tried a couple different pizzas - the special penne a la vodka, amatriciana, margharita, and mushroom. My favorites were definitely the penne a la vodka pizza and the amatriciana, as it was packed with complex flavor from the jalapeño paste. Our server was helpful and apologized when the kitchen ran out of an ingredient and suggested an alternative pizza option. Also, would recommend sitting in their outdoor heated patio area, it was very charming!

Outstanding pizza and appetizers! Staff service excellent, drinks ice cold and place is uber-popular at prime dining times. Located in very popular section of St Louis called 'The Hill' where there are many other excellent Italian eateries and bars. A definite "must try" if in this area- 9 out of 10 on my scale!

This was my second time here. The seasonal menu had a lot of blood orange. I got the blood orange spritz which was perfectly tangy and refreshing. I also tried the blood orange salad which had good flavors but was a bit too heavy on the oil and vinegar dressing. The pepperoni pizza was very good. Crisp pepperoni and the crust held up, this was my second time ordering it and I would continue to order it every time . We also got the stracciatella pizza and added prosciutto but I would not order this again. The oil and creamy cheese unfortunately made the crust really soggy.

When to the Hill area of Saint Louis on a recommendation from a relative. First issue is no parking for the resturant. You have to find somewhere on the narrow street. Ordered pizza and some meatballs. No pasta at this place and no Espresso which was a disappointment. Also tried ordering an Antipasto plate, but all they had was some cured ham. Not a great visit and was a bit disappointing.

One of the best place to get a pizza on The Hill! Pizzeria de Gloria has a warm and cozy atmosphere, great for an intimate dinner with friends. The pizzas are wood-fired, light and packed full of flavor. Highly recommend the Straccialtella and mushroom pizzas along with the crispy bresaola appetizer. The staff is friendly and the service is always amazing I recommend to make a reservation because they are usually busy.

We love the Hill, but for some reason, don't go down Marconi too much. This is a small, unassuming place but it's very nice. It's hard to describe, but it just felt comfortable. We were pleasantly greeted when we walked in and were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and very attentive. We started with a Roasted Oyster Mushroom appetizer. It was only 7 bucks, so hey, why not try it. There were 2 oyster mushrooms on top of ricotta and garlic chili oil. It was a very tasty and different appetizer. I love trying unusual things I haven't had before. Of course, we went there for the pizza, though. The crust was delicious. It was chewy, it was crunchy, it was the kind of crust you want to eat even if there isn't anything on it. I'm partial to the sausage mushroom combo, so of course I thoroughly enjoy this pizza. It's not a provel cheese pizza, so don't expect that. Do it!!

Their patio has a very nice ambiance, with great weather is much better then inside. We had cocktails; I had the Hugo spritz which was not how I'd make it, because it had way too much club soda and no mint (I realize I could have asked for mint so that's on me) which made it taste watered down. Food was good, was able to try caesar salad, creamy Italian, bresaola & olives and sausage. All was tasty and we enjoyed it. My only complaint about the food was there was like 20 minutes between one salad and the other 2 salads ordered by our group. Overall food good and other cocktails were better. A place I'd go back on the right day

Pizza was wonderful! Time limit is an issue when your server doesn't check on you often or your drinks take too long, which is what happened to us. Also they charge a 3% fee when you use a credit card. Great food though!

Oh. My. Gosh. Pizzeria Da Gloria in St. Louis just made my lunch break feel like a weekend vacay. I popped in during the week for their lunch special, and let me tell you, it was EVERYTHING. The Mushroom and Pepperoni Pizza? Absolute perfection. The crust was crispy but soft, like it had been kissed by pizza angels. The mushroom slices were the perfect earthy little bite to balance the zesty pepperoni. I was like, "Is this pizza giving me a hug?!" Spoiler: It totally was. And the Caesar Salad? A simple classic done right. The dressing wasn't too heavy, and those croutons had just the right crunch. Sometimes you just need that fresh vibe with all the pizza love. Service? Super chill and quick - I barely had time to sip my water before I was diving into pizza heaven. If you're ever in St. Louis and need a mid-week pick-me-up, Da Gloria's is the place. This spot's a total vibe, and trust me, you'll want to come hungry. ‍

What an amazing find! Our family thought this was the best pizza we have ever had in St. Louis! They have an awesome patio that we plan to take advantage of next time.

Sadly I've always lived only the next neighborhood over from this gem, and in all the years it's been open I've never really given their pizza an honest try... until tonight. I've had it a few times over the years, but it's always been take out or one of their specialty pizzas that were . And while it's always been good, I was never like, "this is goooood good"... until tonight. I shoulda known better, that this particular type of pizza NEEDS to be eaten right out of the oven to truly appreciate it in all of its "Gloria". And tonight I was finally able to do that, in their quaint & cozy dining room. The service was great too. (I still need to experience their courtyard patio) Aside from a classic Margherita, I can best judge any pizza by trying it in the other form that is my true "go-to" - pepperoni & mushroom. And wow, I honestly can't remember the last time I had a round pizza in this version that was this good (including Noto & my own). The cup & chars were perfectly crisped and spaced, the added mushrooms were premium & plentiful (usually they're disappointingly topped too scarcely for my liking), and the pickled jalapenos paired perfectly (no surpise there since I also utlilize them for added tang with my pepperoni freezas). The sauce & cheese ratio (where 90% of pizzerias fail IMO) were spot on which allowed them both to shine and burst through in a complimentary way on the taste buds. And the crust had just the right amount of crunchy chew, artisan flavor, and slight flop that blur its genre between Neapolitan & New Haven. What a treat this pizza experience was So happy to have rediscovered Pizzeria da Gloria in its intended purpose. And even happier that it's so conveniently close to home. Sauce - 8 Cheese - 8 Crust/Texture - 9 Toppings - 9 Overall Flavor - 10 Ratio Balance - 10 ... Total - 9.00
