Large Cheese Pizza (Add Your Own Toppings)
Maddie G.

The food was great as always, pizza was fire and the mozzarella stix did not disappoint especially on the cheese pull however the sweet tea tasted a little funky. The server was okay, she did the bare minimum of her job so I can't really complain. Ambiance was okay as well not much to look at but usually you take pizza to go instead of sitting in the restaurant. Overall still my fav place to order pizza from!

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.

Spooky Saloon Halloween pop up! Everything it was…read moreadvertised to be. Great food/ variety drinks, and beautiful weather. Happy hr ends at 5pm. 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. Check the website for hours and days of operation and events calendar.

Happy Hour is definitely the way to go, but don't be late because it ends promptly at 5:00! The…read moreWagyu steak was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. 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!

I had a calzone and salad waiting for me at home 2 weeks ago from my roommate, and it was…read moreexcellent. I'm not sure what happened with my newest visit. First off, I was able to order online from their website. I had tried a couple times to order from the website, and it wasn't working, so I was pretty happy this time worked. I ordered the fold plus extra mozzarella, sauce, and a small strawberry fields salad. This is my normal order from this company over several locations and years. When I arrived to pick up my carryout order, I was impressed by the openness and cleanliness of the restaurant. However, the employee was not friendly. Like, not even a little bit. Asked for my name and handed me my food, no smiles, no thank you, nothing. I wasn't too concerned, it happens, and you can be as rude as you want to me as long as my food is correct. Sadly, it wasn't. So, the salad was great as always. The calzone, my poor calzone, was like they only put mozzarella. It had a very sad dollop of ricotta in one tip, and the mozzarella, which mind you I paid extra for extra, was literally a fraction of the amount it should be. My calzone was basically flat. Also, barely any parmesan on top, no garlic oil, just not at all what I was expecting. I was super bummed and didn't have the time to go back. Will I try this location again...that's a tough question. Splitting the two visits, one being fantastic and the other being not good, that's a three star rating. I guess maybe I'll try one more time, eventually. It's just sad when you know a product very well, look forward to it all day, just for it to not be anything what you expected.
