Pi Pizzeria-Delmar Loop

This funky Delmar Loop joint proves that a great crust can elevate a simple pizza above the ordinary. Pi adds cornmeal, which imbues the texture of the crust with a faint granular quality. The exterior is crisp and a lovely, summery golden brown, while the interior keeps a spongy softness that absorbs the flavors of the various toppings while retaining its own individual qualities. The deep-dish pizzas are excellent. You can build your own from the list of toppings or try one of the specialty pizzas: red onion, sun-dried tomato and artichoke make the “Bucktown” stand out. The restaurant’s efforts to be environmentally friendly are commendable.

The Inside Word on Pi Pizzeria-Delmar Loop

Shep

Great beer selection and pizza. I actually like the thin crust better than the deep.

Overall:

When I asked my waitress for a Bud Light, she told me that Pi doesn't serve AB products because the owner feels that they don't stand up well enough to his pizza. She then proceeded offer me a Pabst. A Pabst?

Pi strives to be different type of pizza joint, and I'm cool that. They make a point of not serving provel (there is a time and place to eat provel) and they're very much into sustainablilty, so much so that they only offer beer on draft (no can or bottle waste). But in an effort to distinguish itself from the Imo's of the world, Pi walks a fine line (or at least its owner does) between commitment to quality and annoying food snobbery.

If you don't want to serve AB products because you're a beer snob and you only have micro-brews, I'll be annoyed but at least I'll see where you're comming from. But if, in the heart of STL, you refuse me a Budweiser and then offer me a Pabst, you're kind-of being an asshole. We're talking about pizza--admittidly, very good pizza--and beer, not foie gras and sauternes. Also, if a restaurant promotes itself as being green, isn't it greener to source your beer locally instead of trucking it across 3 states?

Pi has solid pizza and on a nice evening, the sidewalk seating is great. But come on, if you're going to have a pizza joint in the Lou, serve AB products.
Review by dbf867
Overall:

The wait was almost 45 minutes. Once we were seated (first available) the brought us to a table that has two other couple sitting at it. One side of the table had chairs and the other side had a bench. The music was terrible and it was so loud you could barely carry a conversation. Otherwise, the service was good.

We ordered wings for an appetizer thinking they would be hot wings since they were served with blue cheese. They were basically plain wings with no flavor to them. We ordered a large deep dish pizza, half classico and half sausage. The pizza was okay, but the sauce is so chunky that at times all you taste is tomato. I couldn't really taste the cheese like I can with Gino's or Giardono's. The crust was okay, but I think it was overcooked.

We might try the pizza again, but it will definitely be carry out.

Overall:

Absoutlely the best pizza in St Louis!!!! Great atmosphere and service with lots of options on the menu. Hoping that the expansion plans call for a location in downtown at some point!
