I think I'd rather have Imo's.

I tried to re-create the sauce they use at Black Thorn once and it didn't go over well. I'd pay for that recipe.
These days there are so many good options for pizza in St Louis.
Are there really? Pi and Black Thorn are good, but other than that I can't think of any that stand out. I've never been to Dewey's. My stalker works there so I could have her bring it over one of these times I give in while I'm hammered and reply to a text message.

Haha, I go to Deweys all the time. I wonder which one your stalker is.

And I know about that Bread Co. I go there once a week or so. But I always pay normal price because the choose-your-price thing is designed for the poor and disadvantaged, which i am neither.

That's why they put the thing in a business district. The bulk of people pay at or above the recommended cost and they make way more money because it's now tax-free.

Feraro's is great traditional Jersey style. Pi is incredible. Katie's potato pizza is fantastic. The Good Pie is great Neapolitan style. Pizza a Go Go is very good. I really like Racanelli's. I haven't tried Dewey's or Onesto and I didn't mention any of the non pizza joints that serve great pie.
Still, I probably overstated it by a bit.

Next time I'm down there I'm going to have to try Imos just so I can participate in these threads.

I'm pretty sure JC would be the only one who would know what Angelos Pizza is, but mother [expletive] is it delicious. Expensive, but delicious.

Fortel's is pretty good.

I also ate at a place on the loop that was good but can't remember the name.

I actually prefer Fortel's as far as the thin style goes. Much more selection and typically better ingredients for about the same cost.

Plus having one just up the street from where I stay when I'm in STL helps a lot.

Here in Clayton that's the cheapest meal i've found for lunch. Chipotle is $6.50 before tax, but you still need a drink.

And not only is it cheap, it's also way more filling than Chipotle.

Yay Imos! I've found my weekly Quiznos replacement.

Right next to Chipotle is Bread Co. That Bread Co. is the one where you can set your price or something like that.
You can also have Jimmy Johns delivered in Clayton for $6or $7.
