Not lukewarm. Not "could be hotter." Stone cold. There is no excuse for serving biscuits and gravy like this. What makes it worse is that this place used to be a must-hit for us. We've been coming here for years and always looked forward to it. Now, the quality has fallen so far that we're seriously questioning why we would come back. This wasn't a minor mistake--it was a meal that should never have left the kitchen. If someone had actually checked the food before it reached the table, the temperature and quality issues should have been obvious. It's honestly disappointing to see a place we once considered a go-to become somewhere we'd tell people to skip entirely. Cold gravy and pasty biscuits are not acceptable, especially from a restaurant that used to know how to do this right. Once a must-hit. Now a hard SKIP.

I can't believe these guys. Do not order from this location. Burnt pizza, uncooked food, and no toppings after a driver spilt the toppings. When they reordered the pizza they said I would receive a refund. After an hour and 30 minutes they thought that was fine to give me just a reorder. I spoke to the manager he assured me they would "take care of it" I asked if I had to pay for their mistake and he said no. 2 hours later I finally sat down to eat my cold pizza with adrenaline running through my body. I feel sick after eating that dough, but still can't believe that manager working at the tucker location (night shift 10/27/17) the worst!! Finally left with my refund, that I had to call twice about and leave the comfort of my home for. So much for delivery!! read more

In a world where somehow one pizza is now upwards of $45 if delivered many places, I appreciate I can get a pizza delivered with slices to spare for under $30 - and it's a good pizza too! 2. Pick your delivery time. And they hold themselves to it as well. I have selected a delivery window on multiple occasions and they are literally ringing my bell at that exact moment. Bravo! 3. Fresh - no cold pizzas; when that pizza hits your doorstep it is piping hot out of the oven. Is it the best artisan sourdough blah blah crust ever? No - its fine, better than chain pizza for sure; and I think they are a little heavy handed on the toppings. Also I wish they put the peps on top of the cheese (personal preference). But I will return time and time again to give my $$ to a local business doing a great job for a reasonable price. p.s. I've never set foot in this building so I cannot speak to what it's like inside - but I drive by all the time.

Pointer's Pizza owner called to tell me I didn't tip enough…read more I just got back into town after visiting a friend and driving 2 hours home, and I thought I'd order a pizza for delivery. Placed an order online, payed $20 for the pizza, ~$3 delivery fee, like $2 and some change for taxes, and left a 10% tip. About 10 minutes later, I receive a call, and it's the owner! He had an insulted attitude and was incredulous that I would "only tip 10%", in his words. He said he couldn't send out a driver for that low of a tip, because that wouldn't be fair to them, and he would pass the order to DoorDash instead. I understand 10% is not a great tip, but how am I supposed to give them free money to hope that I get good service? (Which I obviously didn't) Why am I paying a delivery fee if you rely on tips to make my order worth your time? I live literally 1.5 miles away too, like that's not too far, I feel? I kind of get it, but to call me, act offended, and be slightly rude about something that is ultimately their problem? Like come on. To boot, the pizza that arrived was wrong!! Ordered a Deluxe + olives, and it came with only olives. Come ooooon man. To their credit, I gave them a call and they made me the right pizza and delivered it.

I also love their Slice of the Day--it's always fun to see what creative flavor they're featuring. The wings are delicious, and most of the staff is friendly and welcoming. Another huge plus is the walk-up window, especially late at night when most other places are closed. It's one of the few spots you can count on for a quality meal after hours. The wait can sometimes be a little long when they're busy, but that's because everything is made fresh. In my opinion, the quality is well worth the wait. If you're looking for great pizza, fresh food, and late-night convenience, Epic Pizza is definitely worth checking out.

How many people received free pizza by pretending to read books, when they probably couldn't even read, and has that contributed to Pizza Hut locations being forced to shutter? That might be something for Kash Patel to look into once he finds Nancy Guthrie. MOD doesn't serve a pan pizza, that I'm aware of, but you could probably eat any of their menu items by yourself--though arguably that's true of any pizza restaurant, depending on your level of dedication. How many toppings can you request on one of these pizzas before they press a button mounted underneath the counter, like at a bank, alerting the authorities? They advertise unlimited free toppings, which seems almost impossibly generous, like when your grandfather would offer to buy you one of literally anything they sold at the grocery store back in like 1983. Perhaps needless to say, I was not aware of alcohol back then. The crust on one of their regular pizzas doesn't look like it would be thick enough to hold very many toppings, but it's surprisingly robust while still feeling light and crisp. It's honestly kind of an engineering marvel. I wonder if they spent billions in R&D coming up with it. Did the CEO take tiny bites of it and refer to it as "the product?" I didn't see a canonical list of toppings posted anywhere, though there was plenty of wall space, by square footage. They could have easily dispensed with some of the Applebee's-style local-themed decor. People who live in St. Louis don't actually like St. Louis. Especially in the county. If you're not sure what the toppings are, or which ones you'd like, you can just kinda point at things in the little bins behind the counter, like at a Subway. But it wasn't that serious. I was just going to get a pepperoni and jalapeno, which is an increasingly popular menu item these days (sometimes drizzled with hot honey, which no thank you), but I opted for something called the Mad Dog, which is their version of a Meat Lovers, but without as many meats. So more along the lines of a Meat Toleraters. And then I added jalapeno. This was their 11" original thin crust. It was more than I would have preferred to pay for a pizza, but it didn't seem excessive by 2026 standards. Because the crust is so thin, you could easily eat the 11" one by yourself. No Diddy. I'm not sure if I would have been satisfied with the smaller one. I'm Pierce Brosnan. This is not gourmet pizza, but it's surprisingly good for what it is. The crust seems genuinely artisan-level, and the toppings are serviceable. I was there with a group that had chosen to meet there, so I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised. When I was somehow carded for a Blue Moon, it was noted that this was my 45th birthday. I asked the cashier if I could get a free beer. I couldn't, but I appreciated the fact that he honestly seemed to think about it. A guy from my running group bought me a knockoff version of a Ding Dong (the Hostess snack cake). This thing was insanely good. It had a thick candy shell that wouldn't melt right away if you set it on your dash and it slid into your radiator (ahem), a moist, rich cake on the inside (ayo!) and it was filled with cream. It was so good it was actually kinda inappropriate. If you ever visit, be sure to grab one.
