Pizza World

This place has is not hygienic at all, after I had already had a few slice I noticed them preparing other pizzas. They do not wash their hands after touching money, picking up the phone, washing tables, or digging up their nose (just wiped his finger tips on his apron). I was disgusted, later that night I had food poisoning. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Even if they’re offering coupons.

Best Customer Service around! I really appreciate that these guys are always friendly and attentive, on the phone and in person. They really give the impression that they care about their customer’s satisfaction. Good pizza. I love all of the topping/​sauce options! Good wings. They have really good hot sauce. My husband and I take advantage of their online specials all the time.

Walked in and was greeted fairly, cashier wasted no time taking my order, and was very polite. I was nervous with the under new management banner, but theres no need to be. The service, and the pizza, are equally wonderful. I was even offered a water cup without asking, before i left the front desk. Their estimated time to recieve my pizza was almost spot on, but we are the only customers currently inside. Everything is clean, the trash has been taken out, the soda machine did not feel sticky. Very impressive for hand tossed pizza. You cant go wrong if you come give them a shot.

We ordered 4 whole sandwiches and was extremely dissatisfied. The sandwiches had hardly any meat or vegetables on them. Instead of a veggie sandwich it looked like just a bread sandwich. Called Pizza World and explained my dissatisfaction to the manager. He refunded all our money. I fault management for not looking at what their cooks are sending out, this makes no sense at all. They are definitely not worth the price! Since under new management the quality/​quantity of the food sucks. Last time we will eat from here.

Still some of the best tasting pizza in the area!
So, the big banner out front says, «Now under new management.» The bad news is, I haven’t seen the signs for their lunch special, so I must assume that it has been discontinued. The good news is, my daughter and I had lunch here today and for less than $ 10 we got a medium pizza and two sodas. My daughter normally just eats plain cheese pizza, but today we got one of the specialties, the Via Bianco. Two types of cheese with a scattering of basil leaves on top, and in our case, an olive oil glaze instead of tomato sauce. Even for a carnivore like me, it was delicious!

I thought I would really love Pizza World seeing as I only live around the corner and they are under new management, I was wrong. I’ve ordered from them at least 5x’s and 3/5x’s something has been wrong with my order. Either it’s completely wrong like last night when I ordered chicken Alfredo pasta and I was given a chicken Alfredo pizza instead or when I previously had the pasta and found a piece of plastic in the dish while eating it! I also asked for a Sierra Mist fountain drink once and received something that tasted like lemonade! Even when they remade the pasta last night, I guess they figured since I wasn’t paying for it bc it was their mistake, they made the pasta much worse than I’ve ever had it before. It was much less pasta, sauce, and it was over cooked! I keep giving them chance after chance hoping it’ll get better but it is always something wrong! Needless to say, last night was my final time patronizing Pizza World. They just can’t seem to get it right

The pizza is average. We had ordered from them once before but on our second attempt to order we received such poor service that we won’t be offering from them again. My wife tried to order delivery from them, but was essentially called a liar and subsequently hung up on. We were trying to use one of their coupons but were told that it was only valid in store (which the coupon did not state). Other coupons did state that they were good in store only, which is why we tried to use one that did not state that. The employee said they wouldn’t honor the coupon for delivery, which would have been fine, but then they hung up on us. Will not be ordering from them again because of how rude they were.

My husband and I LOVE pizza world. Their bbq chicken pizza and buffalo chicken pizzas are our favorites. Their ingredients are fresh & their lunch special is super affordable for what you get. I’d highly recommend pizza world to anyone– they’ve quickly become my favorite pizza place in STL.

My first experience here will be my last. I Ordered and paid for 14″ double hamburger and double cheese and 2 liter bottle of soda. Delivery driver showed up with pizza and no soda telling me that she will be right back with the soda. I let her go and then realized that the pizza would probably be eaten by the time she got back so I called them and told them to turn the driver around and take the soda off the bill. 10 mins later the driver shows up with a warm 2 liter bottle of soda that she got from Walgreens. The pizza was terrible! I’ve had better frozen pizza. There was very little cheese or hamburger on it and I ordered and paid for double of both. The hamburger looked like small rat droppings. How does this place stay in business with so many really good pizza places in the area??? Disappointed to say the least!

This place is a reliable standard for decent pizza, but I feel like it has gone slightly down in quality and taste since they moved. The plus side of their relocation is their new digs– the re-​purposed Shrewsbury space is quaint, with plenty of parking, and a huge upgrade from Deer Creek Plaza. I know DCP has found a 2^nd life with many new anchor tenants, but to me it’s just such an unappealing retail wasteland. But back to pizza…
Our office was close to the old location and we regularly ordered the standard and specialty pizzas. I loved the variety and consistent great quality. I was in Shrewsbury and drove by the new location recently, and decided to pop in for carry out. The interior is very basic, but I expect that in a delivery or take out industry where very few folks sit down to eat. My order took an expected 20 minutes, then I had another 10 minutes home. I was surprised how much the pizza had cooled off, usually even my takeout pizzas are still piping hot after a short ride. The crust was bland and chewy, and the sauce doesn’t have a lot of flavor. Since those are the two most important aspects of a great pie in my opinion, there wasn’t much hope, but the other ingredients were just average as well. The cheese was a bit rubbery and the pepperoni was mid grade. What helped the most was that I had added chopped fresh garlic, so that gave it a kick. BF agreed that it was okay, but we had experienced much better. With so much great local competition, I don’t know if I will hurry back. If I did, I think I would try the wheat or thin & crispy crust in place of the standard.
One plus is their variety, especially if you are ordering for a group. They have a selection of interesting pizzas and ingredients, various crusts and styles, plus other items for those not looking for pizza. The salads are made with romaine, nice to see when many similar places use iceberg. Additionally, it is reasonable priced.

We don’t do provel. Enuff said.
Pizza World has some tasty pizza. It’s cheap, carry-​out, & fast. Better than the other chain pizzas we’ve tried. My husband always orders the Meat Grande WHEAT crust. The crust is flakey, and just the right thickness & crispness. They really load on the meat, & just the right amount of cheese & flavorful spice.
We never eat there, inside has a pretty standard fast food feel.
Their staff is always pleasant.
This is no gourmet pizza joint, which we also enjoy & will often spend the extra dough to eat (I see the pun too). But, it’s a good stand-​by, straight-​forward, carry-​out, readily welcomed neighborhood joint.
Dig in.

For lunch today, I ordered a personal Buffalo Chicken pizza and a salad from the Pizza World located in Maplewood, MO (or Shrewsbury, technically).
While I hadn’t eaten at or ordered from a Pizza World in probably 4 or 5 years, I thought I’d give it another shot.
I was told delivery would be about 45 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to see an excellent delivery guy named Bob arrive with my order in less than 25 minutes, and he was one of the most friendly delivery guys around. He displayed genuine old-​school customer service qualities as he made sure everything was delivered as ordered, and then talked through a few of the options on the menu that I might check out next time I order (i.e. cheese choices, Wheat crust, etc.).
Overall, he did a great job of making me want to order again from Pizza World by showing his passion for the job. It didn’t hurt that the Buffalo Chicken pizza was excellent, and for a personal sized specialty pizza and salad lunch special, price was definitely reasonable.
Anyway, it has been quite some time since I had ordered from a Pizza World, and thanks to a great lunch special and a phenomenal delivery guy, Bob, I’d say they’ve gained back an old customer, and I’ve giving 5 stars in hopes that some other folks will find this spot, give them a call, or give them a second shot at impressing you.
