Dewey's Pizza

"I got caught in St. Louis overnight with a calzone craving. Dewey's Pizza wasn't far from where I was staying, so I gave it a shot. The place was quite busy when I arrived, but I was seated promptly in an inviting atmosphere. I ordered a sausage, pepperoni and mushroom calzone. It arrived fairly quickly considering how busy they were, and the thing was huge. The crust was perfect. It was a great calzone if you were into mushrooms - it was crammed full of them. The sausage and pepperoni, not so much. This is not a place you want to go to if you want to have a quiet conversation. There was a table with a dozen or so teenage girls across from me who spent their time taking photos of each other and screaming with delight and surprise when they passed the phones around. They registered about 90 decibels on my sound meter (and that was just the frequenciesdetectable by the human ear. I'm pretty sure all the dogs in the neighborhood were rendered deaf. I'll give them another shot if I'm stuck in St. Louis with the Calzone Blues again. 02/20/2024 UPDATE I had another unexpected overnight in STL, so this time I took a friend along. When we got there in the early afternoon, I commented that it should be a lot quieter than my last visit where a table of teenieboppers gave my decibel meter a real workout. Only about three or four tables were occupied this time. Unfortunately, several of those were taken with families with screaming toddlers. That's not the fault of the establishment, but the acoustics of the room caused the sounds to amplify and bounce around. When our very nice server showed up, I mentioned that my sausage, pepperoni and mushroom calzone was heavy on mushrooms, but light on meat my last visit. She said she'd take care of it. When she brought my order to the table, she said, "Sausage, pepperoni and light on the mushrooms, right?" That should have been a clue. The calzone WAS light on the mushrooms, but it was still equally light on the meats. I'm going to invoke my two-strike rule and give the place a pass next time. It's highly popular, and the food, what there is of it, is good, but it's not what I was looking for."

"Absolutely love Dewey's Pizza! Family atmosphere but also could be date night too! We love sitting at the bar, ordering a drink, watch sports if we want (hunny loves it because we are limited with channels at home) I also like sitting there because I can watch the kitchen. They are talented lol. Their pizza reminds me of my childhood pizzeria so I go for pure comfort sometimes, great restaurant."

"Words cannot express how great the staff is at this location. We ate there the night before my wife was going into a major surgery. Our server, in his friendly way, asked how we were doing and the surgery came up. Several staff, and the manager, visited our table and expressed their hopes the surgery would go well. When the bill came there was no charge for pizza. This was so great that they did this wonderful thing that my wife started crying. Now, I am not suggesting that you try to get a free pizza, but if you want a great pizza and great service, this is the place."

"Went to this location for my nieces birthday. She requested a pizza and salad for lunch. Our pizza and calzones tasted great. Food always taste great at Dewey's. Service could have been more better. While they were going around with friendly smiling faces at other tables, they only came around 3-4 times around us."

"Good sit down pizza place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. They serve coke products and have a wide variety of specialty pizzas plus an extensive list of toppings to build your own. Crust is really good. You can make any pizza half and half to split with someone or just add more variety. Really nothing on the menu except pizzas and salads. Do wish they had at least a few more options. At least some appetizers would be a great addition."
