Cecil Whittaker's pizza is so good. Our son was moving and after that we got him situated, he did the right thing, he ordered us a meat lover's with provel. So good... so so good. Even days later it's good... incredibly god if you heat it in a pan on the stove or in a toaster over. Thank you, Cecil Whittaker's! read more

Great St. Louis style pizza that is hard to mess up. Have only done carry out so can't speak on the dining experience in restaurant but the staff at the counter is always very helpful and the line usually moves fast. Great side options and an overall reasonable meal for the family. Cecil Salad is always a hit! read more

Cecil Whittaker's has the best St. Louis style pizza that I've had. They are also a great value when considering how generous they are on toppings. read more

So disappointing. Was really looking forward to St. Louis style pizza and I've ordered from here before when we were in town. Couldn't finish the pie not good. But the people at the counter were nice though. read more

Cecil Whitaker's delivers exactly what you want from a classic St. Louis-style pizza. The thin, crispy crust and Provel cheese are on point, and the pizza is consistently well made. Toppings are generous, the sauce has good flavor without being overpowering, and everything comes out fresh. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent anything - just solid, reliable St. Louis pizza done right. Great option when you're in the mood for something familiar and satisfying. read more

Great pizza, salad, and chicken wings. Service is also exceptional. Good location. We've been to Cecil Whittaker's on Manchester several times now, and it's consistently a great experience. The pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings, and the wings are flavorful and cooked perfectly. The salads are crisp and make a great addition to the meal. The staff is friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming, whether dining in or picking up an order. It's a convenient spot with reliable quality and excellent service every time. Highly recommend for a casual, satisfying meal. Pepsi products which I love. read more

So I placed an order online just so I knew what the price was but then it wouldn't allow me to pay online so I had to call the store. I ordered one large pizza with pepperoni half of that with mushroom a small person size pizza with two toppings, and 2 pounds of wings. my bill was over $60 and I was extremely surprised. The pizza was OK. It's definitely more St. Louis Pizza and wings were also OK. They did not give us the sauce that we asked for but we charge for that sauce. The service was great, though the woman was able to take my order and get me in there and out of there without a long wait. read more

Ordered a family meal deal tonight, made a mistake on my order. Katie called to make sure what i meant and saved me from a bunch of angry kids, lol. She went out of her way and i really appreciate that. Food is great, thank you! read more

All the food is good, but probably one of the best cheeseburgers out there. Try most anything and you won't be disappointed.

The Cecil Whitaker we love and remember is back, this is due to new ownership. Glad to have it back and amazing food and dine in is beautiful! read more

Cecil Whittaker's Pizzeria - Meet the greeters Sausage and Pepperoni! Since new ownership has taken over this place is the Cecil Whitaker we all have been missing!! - Pizza Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

There was a period where it seems Cecil was less relevant and tasty. A few years ago new management took over this location and it has come back with a vengeance. Great food and service. read more

Nice cozy little business and they've been in Ballwin for a while now. I ordered the veggie and it came out quickly. One star off because there was WAY too many onions on it :( The people inside working were really nice and its a great place for friends and family to enjoy pizza together. read more

This is the first time via this wonderful establishment! The food and atmosphere were amazing!! Definitely worth it!!

Second time ordering from here... all of the toppings KC including cheese and sauce slid completely off my pizza. Do you guys carry your boxes up and down or something? Tried calling five times and it says "user busy". Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Under new management. Pizza and cheese garlic bread were delicious! Definitely coming back!

Check the website to make sure they were open it said yes they were. We get there and they're close. Would love to have gotten one of their delicious pizzas but that ain't going to happen. read more

We are so happy that our Cecil Whittaker's in Ballwin is under the new management of Debbie and (Scott). It's newly renovated, very clean, and the quality of the pizza is so much better than it was in the past couple years. It reminds me of the great place it used to be when our kids were growing up. Stop by and enjoy the good food, great service, and friendly smiles. read more

Back in my day we called this the bait and switch. I called to get the deals and my son called the place the order. Order two large pizzas, two salads and order of cheese garlic bread for 29.99. When he gets up there they say they miss quoted him the deal. He tells them they gave his mom same deal and they say they both were wrong. It only includes one salad. When he gets home the salad they sent doesn't even have dressing and the pizza's cold, and Galic bread is a joke. 6 one finger sized garlic bread, no cheese Never going back. Guess that's why parking lot is always empty read more

OH, SO HEAVENLY. THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA EVER. First off, screw Imo's. This place is the best!!!!! I'm a St. Louis native now living in Chicago. I miss Cecil's so much. My boyfriend loves this place even more than me.... and that's saying a lot. There's something about the cheese, it's incredibly melty and somewhat sweet. The cheese IS St. Louis. Good 'ol Provel. The sauce, oh the sauce.... way better than Imo's. A tad sweet as well that complements this savory, melty, cheesy, crispy goodness oh so perfectly. Go on Manager's special night when you can get a large for less that $4.00. That's cheaper than McDonald's people! But be prepared to wait on that night. The place if filled to capacity w/ families and all walks of life. But really, any night or time of day is perfect for Cecil's. It's the best St. Louis style pizza in town & my favorite kind of pizza ever. I have dreams of these pies. No kidding. A staple. read more

Ordered $90 worth of pizza from there on Mother's Day for delivery. No one showed up. Tried calling...no answer. Drove there & they were closed. Another customer was there as well who also got screwed. Tried calling a corporate number on Monday. Disconnected. Waiting until they open at 3:00 today to get my money back. Furious! Wanted to indicate zero stars, but wanted to make sure people read it. read more

Good old fashioned pizza with my whole entire family. Not only the pizza but the wings and salad was great too!!!

Eating pizza at cecil whittaker's was a good choice, this is the best pizza I have ever tasted very fresh and good ingredients, the provel cheese that they use instead of mozzarella is very creamy. The owner scott was very friendly and extremely helpful. read more

It's Back! Our Cecil Whittaker's in Ballwin with Debbie and Scott is back! You will remember the friendly smiling, super nice manager from over a year ago is back. So glad, because other newly opened places cannot replace the quality of CWP. read more

We love Cecil. If you like St Louis style pizza, Cecil's is the best there is. The atmosphere is friendly and clean and the food is always great. read more

Poor experience from my attempt to order online - which wouldn't confirm my order - to actually getting our food. Called my order in to the store directly. Delivery driver arrived, rang my doorbell and waited. I put on a mask (thank goodness) to see the driver standing a foot from my door with NO MASK ON, holding my food and a receipt I needed to sign?!?!? I guess this Cecil's doesn't care about keeping customers and employees safe by instituting contactless delivery 11 months into a pandemic. My family won't be back here. read more

We are back here visiting from CA after living in STL for 18 years. We had 4 children (3 boys) who not only ordered this pizza a a regular basis but had many football players over for parties. I'm sure I paid half their rent thru 1998-2011. My children swear this pizza is better than IMO's but I will NEVER BUY another pizza from Cecil's again! I came into town & decided to take pizza's home & the lady says do you want the buy 1 get one FREE XL? I say, yes and order one cheese one pepperoni & one meat lovers then when I picked up it was $79. When I asked why, they said they charge for the most expensive first then cheapest for free. SO ORDER ONE BUY ONE GET ONE FREE A PIECE NOT TO GET TOTALLY RIPPED OFF!!!!! read more

Love the pizza!! Just as good as Imos! But when it shows up cold via delivery it kinda ruins it.

This location has been around forever and it was the perfect spot to stop before an event at the middle school up the road. There is always ample seating in their dining room. Depending on the night you can seat yourself or they may seat you. Staff has always been friendly and are eager to serve. The menu has a lot to pick from. We decided on sodas, a house salad and a large pizza to share. The toppings on both the salad and pizza are plentiful so no worries. The parking is shared with other businesses so be careful on getting in and out. read more

Arrived on a Tuesday night at 7:45 with 4 hungry kids. Placed an order for drinks at 7:50 and didn't see anyone for 30 more minutes. Restaurant was half-full, One guy running all the tables & 2 people standing by the phone twiddling their thumbs. I think they're more concerned with their carry out business. Never going here again!! What a joke. read more

Good food, but getting them to answer the phone after 8pm is impossible. (According to their own sign, they close at 10 even on Sunday last time I checked.) Throw that on top of rude unprofessional staff and higher prices than any other business that does delivery in the area and you have a place that's really difficult to convince myself to bother with. It's a shame, because I really like their food. read more

We decided to give the place a try some months ago (had a coupon!) and have gone back several times since. Food is excellent & abundant. We rarely get a pizza, but often go for sandwiches and the like, but it's all been good. Staff's friendly and helpful; if they're ever having a bad day, we certainly don't see it! And they always have coupons that come in the mail and weekday specials as well. Always a plus. read more

If you're in the mood for St. Louis style pizza, give CWP a shot. First off, I have to say I am not an Imo's guy. I think it is really overpriced for what you receive. I also think Cecil's food is much better. While I won't speak for every CWP location, the location on Manchestet has been great. The service is always pleasant and quick. More importantly, the food is always good. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the specials they run. The family deals are great for four and you'll have some tasty cold pizza to enjoy the next morning! read more

Our fav weekly pizza joint. Great thin crust stl style pizza, good salads, sandwiches and pastas. Great deal, affordable and staff is so kind. Check out customer appreciation day on Tuesday for $3.99+ pizzas! read more

I'm usually not a fan of thin crust pizza, but you can't beat customer appreciation days. Their toasted ravioli is good and the pizza's even enjoyable for me, someone who normally wouldn't get thin crust. This place also offers nostalgic memories f high school. read more

Went here on a Thursday night, had one of their specialty pizza's that was perfect. Waiter was very helpful and courteous. I love the salads too. Very filling dinner, a lot of families there. read more

Personally, I don't think St. Louis-style pizza gets much better than this. It's just a good ol' pizza place that doesn't try too hard and puts more emphasis on decent pizza than presentation. Considering its history of starting with one small restaurant to now expanding across the St. Louis metropolitan area, I think that speaks to the demand for it. There were three of us during for our pickup order, and fortunately we were all really hungry which allowed us to try different things besides pizza. With a large pizza, a pasta order, a sampler appetizer, and garlic bread, the total was just a notch above $30. I think this is cheaper than you can do at any corporate chain (which have the worst pizzas, anyway, I believe). I went with traditional pepperoni, while the other half of the pizza was shrimp and mushrooms. Despite how disgusting that is, I don't think there are many places where shrimp is a topping option, so I at least appreciate the variety. The sampler consisted of solid chicken fingers, wings, and potato skins. They weren't mind-blowing, by any means. But they were solid and again, I appreciate the variety. The star-reduction is courtesy of the mediocre pasta and garlic bread. But definitely recommend. The pizza leans more toward the greasy side, but not by much. Pepperoni pizza: 4.5/5 Shrimp and mushroom pizza: ?/5 because that's gross Variety: 5/5 read more

A word of advice from a St. Louis native (lived here 20+ years): NOT ALL Cecil Whittaker's are alike and CWP is greater than Imo's. I have a lot of friends from California, Chicago, and the East that all say how terrible St. Louis style pizza is. However, they're eating either terrible Imo's or going to the CWP in the Central West End (awful). If you guys want to give it a fair shot, I definitely recommend not going with single or double topping pizzas. Try the deluxe and get a side of toasted raviolis. So if you are near this location's CWP, give it another shot. read more

I ordered a large catering order two weeks in advance at the restaurant. The waitress was very helpful and there were no problems. When i called the day of pickup to confirm, the manager was very disrespectful. I was told i couldn't get the pasta i ordered. He trashed the waitress and told me she was stupid and he was going to fire her. After much back and forth he agreed to fill the order. When my husband went to pickup order on xmas eve, the manager was rude. After he left, they called me 15 minutes later to tell me that me husband took the wrong items. I said don't you mean you gave him the wrong items. I had to call my hubby to turn around and go back. This delayed the food getting to the party for over a 1/2 hour. No apologies were given. Will never recommend this place or go cack. read more

Cecil's has been on my food menu of life since I could walk... I came here in grade school after baseball games, school events, sunday night volleyball, or anytime. I came here in middle school for our "early out" days and days off with friends. I came here in highschool with special someones and friends to relax and watch sports games. The customer appreciation nights on Tuesday and Thursdays are such a great deal I would grab a few before I went back to college for my dorm mates and turn them on to the amazing taste of Cecil's. I LOVE CECIL'S! I will be enjoying this pizza for as long as they keep pumping those pies out! read more

Pizza, salad and toasted ravioli are outstanding. We had them delivered and pizza n t-ravs were hot. Special instructions were followed well (child's pizza). Definitely recommend. read more
