For many apartment-ites, there's nothing more satisfying and convenient than stopping by your favorite pizza shop on your way home to the comforts of your apartment. Whether it's for a quick slice or a whole pie to go, one would be hard-pressed to find a more authentic Italian eatery than St Louis' staple Pizza A-Go-Go.
You know when visiting east coasters make a point of searching out your pizza that
you've got a good thing going. Definitively 'New York style' in approach, Pizza A-Go-Go is a no-nonsense pizzeria - meaning you shouldn't expect to find any oversized pasta dishes, lingering salads or non-hand-held dishes. This is a pizza parlor through and through, with an emphasis on traditional flair and ingredients. Only whole mozzarella is used at Pizza A-Go-Go, and families flock to watch their charismatic pizza makers toss the dough in the air with the greatest of ease, making it a perfect night out of the apartment for family and friends. Best of all, Pizza A-Go-Go is one of the St. Louis area's most affordable pizza parlors, never sacrificing quality for price and assuring you can dine on America's favorite meal without breaking the bank.
While their stock and trade might solely rely on pizza (soda is also available), Pizza A-Go-Go ensures that their lone menu item is unsurpassed in quality. St. Louis natives flock to the eatery with fierce loyalty, and visiting tourist often make a point of stopping by for a slice of the area's "most famous pie". Toppings are also a great source of pride at Pizza A-Go-Go, with traditional choices such as pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers and sausage uniting alongside unorthodox selections including pineapple, tomato slices and the always-controversial topper anchovies (little salty fish, for those wondering).
Everyone knows that watching a ball game in your apartment is an activity best accompanied by finger food, so why not swing by Pizza A-Go-Go for an armful of pies for that next big gathering? The eatery's laid back and friendly atmosphere also lends itself well to date nights and larger outings with friends, easily fulfilling the lead-off of dinner and a movie. Apartment-ites with visiting family will also want to stop by Pizza A-Go-Go for a gander at their high flying dough theatrics; if you're especially lucky, you might even hear some of the staff belting out a traditional Italian tune, making your experience a complete, all-encompassing affair of "that's Italian!" Dig in and mangia!
