Pirrone's earns an A+ for over 25 years and 3 generations.

Over 25 years ago we were first introduced to Pirrone's Pizza. We were relative newlyweds. We brought our parents the next weekend. Tonight we took our newly married daughter and son-in- law there for dinner because they missed the pizza on their two week honeymoon. Since our initial visit, we have introduced this place to many more friends and family members. The place wasn't fancy, but neither were the prices. The waitresses may not all be polished; they may be just ordinary people working to make a living; many young high school kids, some mom's working second jobs and some professional waitresse make up the force. In all the years, we have never had "bad' service, but admittedly some servers are faster, better, cuter and nicer than others; then again so are some coustomers. Not one to abandon a good thing, I usually stick to salad and pizza, although I do like the breaded mushrooms a LOT! T I Then, I tried the lunch buffet one day. There was never a shortage of hot pizza; however the selection was limited to 3 or 4 types. There was a wait for a table. I was invited to a Bridal Shower in one of the newly opened banquet rooms and had pasta with meat suace and pasta con broccoli. The banquet rooms are very nice, and spacious. "Around the Corner" location has expanded and the initial location closed. It is clean and attractive but the place isn't fancy by any means. Let's be realistic! Mom and pops places couldn't survive all of these years; though hard times and good times, if they weren't doing something right. If you haven't tried this place you are missing the best pizza I have ever had! The secret here is the crust, or is it the sauce? No, I think it is the combination of the cheeses-it really is wonderful!
- Pros: Best Pizza hands donw!
- Cons: No reservations unless you reserve a banquet room.
Love It!!!

A lot of people can say that a restaurant is the best-or has the best Pizza; but I've tasted a lotta pies over the years and Pirrone's ranks up there in the top 5 BEST Pizzas I've ever had anywhere.The salads will easily be enough for 2 people they are that large. The waitstaff is always helpful friendly and attentive. I've never been disappointed and I hope you won't be either
Best Pizza and Salads!!!

My friend Anne and I grew up in Florissant, and ate at Pirrone's every week... the pizza and salads were delicious! And the atmosphere was very homey. I moved to West County in 2000, Anne moved to St. Charles. We have yet to find a pizzeria that tastes as good as Pirrone's. We make a point to take a trip out there every month to enjoy the great food!!! Thanks Pirrone's for some great memories :) You need to come to West County!!! :)
- Pros: Great pizza and salads
- Cons: They need to expand to a bigger building
Don't waste your time or money, tasteless and poor service

I had high expectations for Pirrone's, I heard the pizza was good. We arrived around 9:00p.m. and saw several empty tables and four or five workers hanging out by one of the tables. We had to wait 20 minutes for a party tolleave their table even though empty tables were in plain sight. We ordered several salads and pizzas. The salad arrived with lots of wet lettuce, cheese and very little dressing. Oh well, we wanted pizza and if the pizza is good we could excuse the poor salad. The pizza arrived and the pizza had no taste. It was like a piece of cardboard. I can't imagine why anyone would eat this pizza. I have had frozen pizza that was better than Pirrone's. Also, the waitress was terrible. The restaurant was dirty, the table cloth was incrediby old and wore, the whole place looked like it might be shut down anyday. do not waste your time and money at this place. I can't believe people actually eat there, what a terrible pizza place, stay away and do yourself a favor.
- Pros: Parking
- Cons: terrible service, terrible pizza and terrible salads
Best Pizza & Special Salads

Pirrone's has the best pizza around. To the person who said something about Kraft singles as the cheese for the pizza ignorance is bliss those are provel slices and they melt so nicely with the sauce to create the most wonderful tasting pizza me and my family and friends have ever had. The special salad is also exceptional someone said to get the house dressing which is good but I recommend creamy italian. It just tastes sooo good.
- Pros: the wonderful pizza and the family atmosphere
- Cons: it can get crowded so if you have to wait trust me it is worth it
This the best pizza in the world. The special salad is the best salad ever.

You must get the house dressing on the salad. It makes the salad better than anyone's.
I wish they would open one near O'Fallon,mo so I would have to drive 30 min. to get to them. But I would still drive that far for the best pizza ever and best salad.
We Also Had Long Black Hair In Our Pizza

We pointed the flaw out to our waitress who seemed frustrated when we complained. We requested to speak to manager. As with the previous lady who complained, we were never given an opportunity to speak with manager. We believe the attitudes that permeate here, are not very apologetic. It really doesn't matter whether the hair on the pizza is a human hair or a hair from a pizza brush. Both of these items are a disgusting unappetizing thing to be contained on food you're about to consume. If their response was more apologetic rather than standoffish, we believe it would go a long way towards making an unpleasant situation more tolerable. I also agree with previous poster about the cleanliness of Pirrone's. At times when it is very busy, the waitresses have a difficult time keeping the areas clean. And as a previous poster stated, the buffet at times is very poor in keeping pizza available to eat on the steam table. Buffet time there is usually quite busy. As a result you can often wait longer to get pizza to eat, then if you had just ordered your own personal pizza to the table. All in all, we weren't very pleased with our dining experience at Pirrone's.
- Cons: Hair in our Food, Lack of apology, Unclean
crazy lady with hair in pizza

i normally dont post letters on these sites but i just had to comment on the review by the lady who found a "hair" in her pizza. Just what were smoking that day maam??? 99% of what you wrote was comple B.S. i was there that day sitting a table away.. first of all the server was very nice and apologized several times. you were the one with the attitude. you also failed to mention that they took your buffet off of your bill. i used to work in a pizza place many years ago and can state as fact that oven brushes have long black bristles that curl when exposed to the heat of the ovens. finally if you were so disgusted why then did you and your guest continue to stay and eat??? i guess it's not so disgusting when its free huh???
- Pros: too many to list
- Cons: crazy complaining customers
