That pepperoni & bacon pie though
Brandon D.

This is the pinnacle of St. Louis style pizza, and it's not particularly close. Many will have you think that *a certain competitor with a larger geographical footprint that rhymes with Teemo's* is somehow in the conversation, but rest assured that people who think this are objectively and technically incorrect. As a matter of fact, when people say they don't like STL style pizza, they typically point the finger at said competitor, and there's a reason for that. Cecil Whittaker's has the best crunchy crust, semi-sweet sauce, gloriously melty provel cheese, variety of fresh toppings, and that magical seasoning. It's really just not fair how good this pizza is. For those curious how el presidente would rate this: 8.4, not his style, but elite nonetheless. As for this specific location/visit...amusingly my buddies and I stopped at the Wentzville location first only to find that it's a carry-out only store. No big deal, roll down to O-town at K & N for a sit down experience. The folks had 2 pies out in no time with the typical STL appetizer treats (toasted raviolis, fried shrooms, and that heavenly garlic cheese bread). One buddy loved the bacon/pepperoni offering while the other buddy was enamoured with the buffalo chicken pie. It's impossible to beat phenomenal pizza (at very reasonable prices btw) with great people and top notch service. Easily a 10/10 experience. Sidenote: Please come to KC.

I have to hand it to the new owners at Cecil Whitaker's Pizza--this is hands down the best CWP I've ever had! Absolutely amazing. I went with the Crazy Deal buy one XL pizza get one half off! Great value. If you tried it before the new ownership, do yourself a favor and give it another shot. The difference is night and day. You can tell they care about quality and customer experience. Highly recommended!

I used to enjoy Monday Night Madness before Covid. Everything was 1/2 off on Monday nights and the place was packed. This then became a carry out only option and with shortages of help - it is now empty - with lots of carry outs. My favorite now is the late night pizza special. A large 2 topping carry out is only $7.99 which is a bargain. I love the sausage and pepperoni or the Canadian ham and pineapple. Order a couple!

Cold, wet fries glued together with cold, wet cheese

I hadn't been here in awhile and used to really like their buffalo chicken salad but this time was underwhelming. You can definitely get a better quality salad pretty much anywhere else for $10. I also got the cheese fries... do NOT get the cheese fries! They were wet and the cheese looks like a slice of cheese that was as microwaved and then re-solidified.

The back door is always open which is a health code violation.

We hosted a gathering in the private room for a special event, and it was a wonderful experience…read more The service was attentive, and the ambience was warm and inviting. The restaurant used nice dishes, linens and place settings for each table. We ordered the lasagna and wings for the group, and everyone raved about how delicious they were. The food, service, and atmosphere made our event truly enjoyable. Highly recommend for private gatherings! There was an issue with their card machine so hoping that gets repaired is my only feedback.

We found this hidden gem recently and really enjoyed our experience. It's retro with 70-90's decor…read more The food was good. Had the cheese curds with ranch and they just melted in your mouth. I don't know what cheese they use but they were one of the top ranked cheese curds I have ever had (I've had a lot of cheese curds). The Ravioli looked homemade, which is good. The red sauce for them was the best I've had! I usually never use the red sauce but I actually chose it over ranch - what? Yeah. The Cajun Pasta was great with just the right spice. The Seafood Cannelloni was very good, very hot (they are not kidding) and the sauce was very thick. It was almost like gravy consistently. It tasted great but I am not 100% sure I am on board since I usually like it a little thinner. All in all the seasoning on everything was great, the staff is super nice with a family owned vibe (that's good) and cool decor to reminisce. I plan on coming back and bringing my family. It's definitely worth checking out and trying more dishes.

Gioia's Deli is still a relatively new favorite for me. I first tried it with a coworker, and I had…read morenever been before. I was a little fooled by the name "hot salami" because I thought it meant spicy salami, but it actually means the salami is heated up! You learn something new every day. The best advice I got that first time, and the advice I still follow today, is to order your sandwich on cheese bread. Trust me, it takes the sandwich to another level! This time, I ordered through the app, and my sandwich was ready and waiting for me when I arrived. The parking was easy to navigate, and pickup was quick and convenient. I ordered the six-inch sandwich, and it was hearty and filling. They pack it with so much meat that you definitely get your money's worth. These are made-to-order, hot sandwiches, so if you order in the store, expect to wait around 10-15 minutes. That's understandable when they're making your sandwich fresh! The food is delicious, and Gioia's has become one of those places I make a point to stop at whenever I'm in the area. I'm glad they have a location out in St. Charles County because it makes it that much easier to get my sandwich fix. If you haven't tried Gioia's yet, my recommendation is simple: get the hot salami on cheese bread. You won't regret it!

Food is not on the menu but cocktails and wine and beer is. Not a lot of options but it's still available so I'll take it. Nathan was our server and he was very attentive, helpful and friendly. We tried sitting outside but when that wasn't working he quickly found us an available seat indoors to make us comfortable. We ordered for appetizers the cowgirl dinner flight which consisted of truffle fries, Mac and cheese and Caesar salad and one drink (raspberry lemon drop) this appetizer can feed two ppl easily! Smoked buffalo wings seasoned to perfection as well. Also a caramel apple cider was ordered , great flavors that blended perfectly. This campus has plenty of direction to venture in. The Farmstead distillery, the Tavern and the field. The Farmstead is where the spooky saloon is housed. Plenty of seating high top/ bar and couches . Restroom clean. Separate menu of food and drinks. All the spooky concoctions you could dream of. Bartender made the drinks with precision and speed. The tavern is the restaurant based areas. Outside dining as well. The field has movie night with Halloween classics. Tonight movie was Beetlejuice. Screens were through out the venue. Pumpkin patch, slides and plenty of picturesque moments.

The sliders are a must-order and were one of the highlights of the meal. I do have two suggestions that would easily make this one of my regular spots. First, use a fresh shot of real espresso in the espresso martinis. Second, upgrade to freshly stuffed blue cheese olives for the martinis instead of the soggy jarred ones. Those two small changes would make both drinks well worth the price tag and definitely have me coming back for them. Make sure to request Levi as your server. He is so much fun and will definitely enhance your experience. Overall, we had a great experience with excellent food, and I look forward to coming back!
