Mushroom
Austin S.

It hasn't taken the unique pies from nettie's to land amongst the elite pies in STL. Vying for a top spot atop my personal list these pies do everything I want. I am still in awe at how they can make such a thin undercarriage remain thin and structured whilst loading the pies up. No flop, a crackery crunch that absorbs just enough oils to secure a soft landing on the tongue. The crust is perfect. By perfect, I mean imperfect. Every single pie has a unqie fingerprint of charred airpockets, random humps, bumps, and blips. It's got an old world pizza shop feel with a contemporary, refined finish. Paired with great service and an open kitchen, an ideal spot when you're in need of a convenient family dining option to keep the kiddos entertained. Just a glorious spot with killer execution, back again and again I will be!

Pizza with prosciutto and mushrooms
Alisha V.

The pizza and the salad are delicious! This place is unique and cozy. Very fast and friendly service. They have counter service and games for kids, seems very family friendly. We were there on a Saturday night and it was not very busy.

Cheese pizza
Ben B.

Phenomenal, phenomenal pizza. I stopped here after a long day at the zoo and my very picky kids loved their cheese pizza. I got the prosciutto and arugula and it, too, was top notch. Everything here tastes fresh and bright. Their cheeses are especially well chosen, and each bite tastes like the perfect blend of flavors. If I have to deduct any points, the interior isn't very inviting. Maybe this pizza is better grabbed to go. They did have a few children's games and coloring books and toys, which may help little ones while they wait for pizza. It took maybe 20 minutes to receive our masterpieces. This pizza is so good, I cobbled together a paper napkin "floor" so the few leftover pieces could fit inside our tiny hotel fridge. Then I drove those pieces home to Chicago and reheated them for dinner a few days later. I wouldn't go to that effort if this weren't a stellar ode to Italy. Well played, Nettie. I hope I'm back soon!

cacio e pepe pizza
Thao N.

Nettie's Pizza Den might be hands down, one of the best pizza places I've tried in St. Louis. I haven't been to a ton, but the flavors here were amazing. I got the Cacio e Pepe pizza and the Fire Honey pizza, and the Fire Honey was definitely a the best out of the two! The menu was a bit tricky to navigate, but the staff was beyond sweet and super helpful. They were such a vibe, especially with the open kitchen, they were listening to music and just enjoying themselves, which gave it a cool kickback feeling. The interior was super chill, and it kind of reminded me of getting pizza in New York. Parking here is pretty decent for Clayton, though it does get busy. I will say it is on the pricier side, expect around $15+ per pizza, but honestly, this is now one of my favorite pizza spots in STL.

Absolutely incredible pizza from this hole in the wall place. You order at a counter and then sit at whatever table is open. The pizza might've been a top 10 pizza of my life and I was totally shocked by that. 10/10 would recommend and will be back next time I'm in town!

I have been craving pizza since we've moved out here, and came across this place on social media! Walking in, I loved the feel and decor of the space, as it really called for simplicity and that was reflected in their menu. The girls at the front were sweet and gave us suggestions for us to consider. We ordered fried ravioli with hot sauce (yes - the hot sauce is really good), garlic knots, and prosciutto/arugula pizza. They have canned and bottled drinks for purchase and free water next to the utensils and take out boxes. We really enjoyed our lunch! The garlic knots were so soft and covered in freshly grated parmesean cheese. The fried ravioli was so so good with the provided sauces, but it was a little tough where they were crimped closed. Pizza was good, I would have a liked a liiiiittttlee thicker crust or maybe a longer time in the fire just for firmness sake! Good vibes all around and we will be back to try their dinner service!

Prosciutto pizza
Allison K.

I loved everything about my experience here- the welcoming service, the inviting atmosphere, and the incredible pizza. We got a sausage pizza and a prosciutto pizza, and after just one bite, my boyfriend and I looked at each other and knew we had a new favorite pizza place in town. The crust is so thin, yet crisp enough to hold its weight. The sauce, toppings, and dough are fresh and flavorful. I texted at least 5 friends while still at the table telling them to put it on their list to go to. Can't wait to go back!

Cheese pizza
Alonzo A.

This is elite level pizza in Clayton. Completely different style than Pizzeria Da Gloria, La Pizza and O+O (my 3 personal favorites in STL). Neopolitan style but also crunchy and thinner. Great chew, quality sauce and really unique cheese that has a bit of a tang. Service is always friendly and helpful. Well stocked water station and boxes for leftovers. Also tried the T-Ravs my first time here and highly recommend starting with those. This place definitely deserves a visit. Besides Peel, this is the only pizza spot in Clayton. And as much as I like Peel, Nettie's is true pizza that is made with care and passion. Give it a try.

Entry signage
Jo Nell R.

I have been waiting for Nettie's to open since I heard Mike Randolph was doing another pizza spot! I went to The Good Pie in 2009 or so and was introduced to Neapolitan style pizza and loved it. Fast forward to 2025 and a new pizza place by Mike Randolph and I had to have it. Located in Clayton, we found street parking right near the shop. You walk in and we were greeted by an employee who gave us the gist. It was a little awkward because it crowded the front area and we had to stand back to see the menu's posted on the side wall. We went to the cashier to take our order. We ordered two pizzas, and I wanted to try a salad, I think I confused her or her relay to the salad maker was off because I ended up with undressed iceberg lettuce with a few cannellini beans. I don't like cheese so I always have to modify but I will make sure to be more clear next time. Salad aside, the pizza was awesome! Light and delicious, perfect char and chew on the crust. I loved both the pepperoni and the sausage with Calabrian chili. Space is awesome, set up was great beyond the greeter. I enjoyed watching the pizza being made by none other than chef Mike Randolph. I am not a fan of handwritten signage, so I hope they change that in the future, but I know I am ordering the pizza however the menu is displayed!

Wall menu
Chrissy E.

Wow! This place is gooooooooood! When I first walked in, I wasn't sure whether to wait or seat myself. I erred on the side of caution and chose to wait and it was then that the girl behind the register came to greet me. She asked if it was my first time and then went over the menu on the wall (it's also printed). Since slices are only available M-F, I went with the cheese pizza (although it was neck and neck with the Margherita) and stuck with water, although they do have other beverage options available. After I ordered, I chose a booth closest to the window. Since there were only three couples in there and 2/3 already had their food, I knew I wouldn't be waiting long. After a minimal wait, the main chef walked over and delivered my pie and I couldn't wait to dig in. First glance, it's light and airy with the perfect amount of char. My first bite was heavenly and while I never thought I'd describe pizza this way, it was savory! You truly want to take your time eating the pizza so you can taste all the ingredients and how well everything comes together. I'm not sure how he did it, but this was the first time I've ever had a pizza where the crust was both chewy AND crunchy, and both were the right amounts! I decided three slices was a good stopping point, so I boxed the other three and took them home. Things I loved: being able to eat three slices out of 6 and not feel full, fresh ingredients, someone actually coming to greet me instead of just saying hi behind the counter, the cozy and casual atmosphere, and did I mention the pizza? This spot is perfect for Clayton and I can't wait to come back and try more.

Large Arugula salad
Emily W.

Excellent experience for a casual Sunday supper. My husband and I split a toasted ravioli order, pepperoni pizza and large arugula salad. We each ordered a beer and a house red. Prices were reasonable and the food was plenty for the two of us. I loved the pizza and the salad was a nice simple recipe. Ambiance is really fun, kind of an upscale Italian diner. We arrived early on Sunday for dinner and there was no waiting.

Pepperoni pizza
Olivia A.

I got a to-go order and it took over an hour. That's fine considering it told me it would take an hour, but just keep that in mind if you're in a rush. I got the pepperoni pizza and I'll start off by saying I really enjoyed the crust and the crisp pepperoni slices. However, I felt the sauce lacked flavor overall.

The Ultimate Pizza Epiphany Stop everything you are doing,…read moreclose your tabs, and prepare for a spiritual awakening, because this is quite literally the greatest pizza humanity has ever engineered. Say hello to Motor Town Pizza and their crown jewel, the wildly audacious "Abe Froman's Ferrari." Named after the legendary Sausage King of Chicago himself--and born out of the owner's unbridled obsession--this pie isn't just dinner; it's a full-scale culinary event. From the first glance, you know you're in for something dangerous. It arrives piping hot, boasting a crispy, caramelized Detroit-style crust that shatters delightfully with every bite, smothered in a sauce so vibrant it practically sings. Then comes the real magic: the heat and the toppings. It is fiery, utterly hilarious in its excess, and so ridiculously good it feels borderline illegal. One single slice hits your palate with enough flavor to instantly wash away your sins, wipe your browser history clean, and completely erase your student debt all at once. Forget traditional therapy. Ditch the self-help books. Grab a steaming, cheese-pulling slice of Abe Froman's Ferrari, look the existential dread straight in the eye, and let this masterpiece cure your soul.

With a strong recommendation from Jeremiah, I settled on the hot Hawaiian honey Detroit style pizza. It took less than 10 minutes, and my pizza was ready to be devoured.

Unfortunately, I am from out of town, so may only get to experience this every once in a while when I drop into St. Louis, but I will be sure to stop by and try other pizzas. I have no doubt they will be equally amazing.

The Best Dining Experience We've Had in St. Louis - Hands Down…read moreMy husband and I wanted to give our dear friends who are leaving St. Louis one last unforgettable meal from their bucket list, so I immediately recommended Peno. I used to be a regular at Rosé with the same talented Chef Pepe, and his food is truly to die for. We walked in on a beautiful day and were lucky to snag a spot in their small parking lot (parking in the area isn't the easiest, but it's worth it). Our server, Harry, made the evening even better right from the start. He had such a warm, calm, professional presence--the kind that's rare these days. We instantly remembered his name thanks to a fun Harry Potter / Harry and the Hendersons reference, and he handled everything with effortless skill. When our friends had parking trouble, Harry quickly offered helpful suggestions. Then, when it was time to order, he elevated our meal in the best way possible. My husband and I got our longtime favorite--the Roberto pizza from Rosé days--and Harry suggested adding sausage and peppers. That small tweak took something we already loved and made it 1000% better. Absolute perfection. Our friend ordered the spaghetti (her all-time favorite comfort meal), and after taking Harry's thoughtful recommendation, she declared it the best spaghetti she's ever had in her life. We finished with the cheesecake. I'm extremely picky about cheesecake, but this one did not disappoint--it was creamy, rich, and flawless. This was one of those legendary meals you remember forever. The kind where you leave thinking you could die happy. Chef Pepe's food, paired with Harry's outstanding service, made it a perfect night. If you're in St. Louis, do yourself a favor and go to Peno. You won't regret it. Thank you, Harry and team--you helped create a truly special send-off for our friends!

Parking was at a premium and we parked a bit away but it was such a nice night it was a great walk. When we arrived, we were offered inside or outside seating and opted to continue enjoying the mild weather by sitting on the covered patio. Lots of other diners chose that option as well. It is super pretty out there with fairy lights strung up and nice tables. Our waiter was Harry B, he was quite pleasant and attentive. I didn't read the description properly for the drink I ordered, the Lemon cello Spritz, I didn't see it was a cream drink. It was still tasty, my husband described it as a lemon creamsicle! I finished it, very fresh even if it was creamy. I ordered the Toasted Smoked Mozzarella, the Kim Tucci Italian salad, and the Pizza Giuseppe. I loved the Italian Salad! Just the right amount of dressing for the ingredients; mixed greens, onion, mozzarella, roasted red pepper, Sicilian olive, and house vinaigrette. So very good! The toasted smoked mozzarella bites were smoky and crunchy, with a red sauce and a basil oil, also very good. Pizza Guiseppe was hand tossed crust with sausage, red pepper, raisin, pine nut, mozzarella, and basil oil. I love pine nuts and they were flavorful on the pizza. I wasn't sure about the raisins but they were good. Nice setting and service, friendly staff!

We layout of the place is simple, with a self server area for water, plastic wear and napkins, you also clean up your own table when you are done. I did feel a bit misled when we were ordering beer, as my wife wanted a dark beer and they didn't have anything on draft. After talking with the people working there for a bit, they remembered that they had some Hazel Ave, which is a dark beer. They asked if she liked coconut, as it has that flavor in it. She does and was happy to hear they had something that would work for her. They rang us up and then asked if we wanted 2 glasses, which I thought was odd, since I had ordered a different beer. Then I saw the other person opening a 750 mo bottle and realized that the Hazel Ave is the size of a full bottle of wine. It's also $40 which was an unpleasant surprise, and I only learned after it had been rung up and opened. About that time, they realized that my beer hadn't been rung in and asked if I wanted it still. Having just spent more on the beer than our food, I declined. It's a very dark been that also has a strong hazel it flavor, which we didn't know (and she doesn't like). Live and learn I guess, but not a great first visit. Food was good enough that we might try it again, but will be very careful/skip ordering drinks if we come back!
