Mr X Pizza

This is the best pizza I have found in Missouri. The sauce, the cheese, the toppings… Enough said, I’m off to get more right now!

My wife and I have made the usual rotation of pizza options around STL. All the big chains and a lot of the small local places as well. We first started eating Mr. X when a bunch of us would order the big one. We really liked it and decided to order a couple of the specialty pizzas. They don’t deliver to our home so they meet me at a QT station which is great. We’ve been really happy with the pizza, tons of toppings, great flavors, good people. They have a really good product and they are now my go to spot for Sunday Pizza.

I am from New York. The hand tossed pizza at Mr X. is as close to new york style I have had in St Louis. It’s great. And the service is wonderful. The staff are the most friendly, kind, considerate people I have encountered anywhere. You must try the hand tossed pizza. And try the wings and poppers while you are at it.

Don’t do it. My girlfriend and I loved the pizza, until she bit into metal shards. Yes, that’s right… metal pieces the size of fingernails in her half of the pizza. When she went in and told them about it, they offered her a free pizza! Ha! What a great solution! Not. She just decided to never eat there again. I figured everyone should know. Pizza does taste good, but you can decide if it’s worth the risk.

Love the Mr X special sandwich and the pizza — great, fresh ingredients made fresh to order. Also I love the strong Bosnian coffee!

Food is actually really tasty, but we found metal in our pizza one time. That’s just not okay. Called to let them know and they realized it was from a can lid or something. I’m apprehensive to return.

Great option in South City (on Morganford) for a quick order of pizza and salad if you don’t feel like pulling something together for dinner. You can order online, which is a nice feature, and offers some specials/​coupons that can probably be used over the phone, but are easier to just apply to your order by doing it online.
We like it because (1) the crust is good, (2) their online specials make getting 2 pizzas for people with different tastes very affordable, and (3) their salad with red wine vinegar is decent enough for my healthiness standards. We also like to support a local place, and bonus points for having some Bosnian-​specific ingredients.
The toppings availability and amount can be hit or miss. Sometimes they are out of a particular topping and sometimes (perhaps depending on who is working) we’ve noticed that pizzas come out lower quality (less toppings, less attention to spreading toppings out uniformly, or the pizza is under-​cooked or something, etc.).
Would definitely recommend getting takeout or delivery. We have found eating in that it often smells strongly of cigarette smoke.

The pizza and jalapeño poppers were delicious… up until I found FOUR pieces of METAL SHAVINGS in ONE BITE of the pizza. They were very apologetic about it and it was hopefully an isolated incident, but eat at your own risk and chew carefully!

Tonight was the first time I’ve had their pizza and it wasn’t disappointing. Loaded with toppings but short on sauce. House salad is nothing special, if having delivered be
ask for extra side of dressing. For the price I would have it again but with extra sauce. Worth trying once I suppose.

My husband and I have been ordering from here the past few months… After discovering Mr. X, we fell in love. I ordered a pizza tonight and they totally botched the order. Did not put Pepperoni on the pizza (which is my favorite) and they put black olives on entire pizza after I requested they only put on half. I also ordered a 2 liter coke and a 2 liter sprite was delivered… Not sure I’ll be spending the $ 30 on this meal again. Not a happy customer tonight, which is unfortunate because we really loved this place.

Great pizza. I knocked off two stars because it seems to change without warning or reason how I have to spend to get delivery. This minimum is mentioned nowhere on the website. Last time I ordered, I spent roughly $ 18 before tip and everything was fine. Today, I placed my order on their website, everything goes through, I get a confirmation email and everything. Then I get a call saying the delivery minimum is $ 25.
It’s too bad, I liked the pizza a lot. I was hoping to make this a go to.

Let me first state that I am not a MO native. I hail from Lima, Ohio. Home of the BEST pizza joint, FatJacks Pizza. Now that I have stated the obvious on to Mr. X’s pizza. The crust is awesome; crispy, chewy and so far it never has been gooey. Sauce is tasty, zesty garlic after glow and the tang of tomato. My most favorite part of the pizza… drum roll please… mozzarella cheese! None of that «puke-​vella» ooze these folks try to pass off as cheese. Seriously, it took me back. If you enjoy a traditional pizza pie, this my friends is the promised land for pizza. I also ordered fried mushrooms… noom noom and buffalo flavored wings (which was the only disappointing part of my experience. They were quitdry.) and a 2l of coke. It was a wonderful special. The only other bummer was the order minimum. It had to be $ 25.00 for them to deliver.

This place no longer delivers. It’s also not clear, based on my last time picking up a pie there, whether they actually enforce the smoking ban. Good thing the pizza is awesome.

I ordered a pizza and toasted for delivery from Mr. X about a week ago. The t ravs were decent enough, but nothing special or unique about them. The pizza smelled great, but that was about as much as I can say went well with it. I ordered a hand tossed crust and some sort of deluxe toppings… I can’t recall what it was. It tasted good on first bite, but I soon found that on almost every slice of the pizza the crust varied from extremely thin to thick, still doughy patches. Raw pizza dough is not a good feature for a pizza to have. This was disappointing after reading other positive reviews of the hand tossed crust. I had to stop eating it. Hopefully this was just an oversight.

Great pizza. Called in a pickup order and it was ready in 20 minutes. I really loved the crust, it was crispy, crunchy, but still warm and fluffy on the inside.
The mr. x special pizza has Salami, Smoked Beef, Chicken, Mushrooms and Green Peppers — it was nice change of pace from ordering a special or a deluxe– great flavors, crispy salami and beef and tender chicken and veggies.

This place is the real deal, Amazing Pizza, great coffee!!. Bring the Family try the 30 inch pizza its great.

Love this place! Best spicy wings and pizza I have ever had! In my opinion the smaller pizzas taste better and are cooked better, but I have always had amazing food! Food is ready for pickup pretty quick.

The best pizza I’ve had in St Louis hands down! I order from them about once a week, 16 inch all the toppings is on special. So much cheese! It’s magical really. Usually get it with sausage as the pepperoni is too greasy.
I have up on the wings. Just stick with the pizza and you have nothing to complain about.

I am always on the hunt for good pizza. Like most people, I love it, plus it’s a simple meal and I usually have leftovers for an easy work lunch the next day. I had driven by Mr. X on numerous occasions and my curiosity was piqued by the interesting name and great location. I placed an order one night on my way home from work for a pizza and a house salad with house dressing. When I got there to pick it up, I was surprised to see that it’s a nice bar inside, not just a typical pizza joint that mostly does delivery and takeout with the dining area just being an afterthought. I would totally hang here for a beer and a meal. There was a good crowd, and the folks taking care of me were nice.
Once home, we opened the salad first, and were disappointed. Limp iceberg lettuce, unripe tomatoes, shredded provel, and a few red onions made for a sad presentation. Plus their «house» dressing is bottled ranch! Good thing we always have fresh veggies and great salad dressings at home, so we were able to fix it up a bit and make it much better. We dove into the pizza, and it looked great. Bubbly, brown cheese and a thoroughly cooked crust are a must for me with pizza. Not burnt, of course, but no barely melted cheese and doughy crust for me, please! The pie tasted as good as it looked, too. Generous ingredients and a good sauce completed the mix of flavors with the toasty cheese and crispy thin crust. We really enjoyed it, and the leftovers were great the next day.
This is a nice spot for a quick and convenient meal. Not sure I would go for a salad again, but the pizza sure is tasty!

Meh.
I took a friend here for lunch, and it was less than stellar.
The place reeked of cigarettes, and there was nobody in there (at 12:30 on a thursday).
The pizza was mediocre, very greasy…
I do not plan on a return trip.

I find Mr. X to be an incredibly fitting name, as the pizza they serve is average and completely unremarkable. It’s not bad in any way, but it’s also not great. They melt some cheese onto some tomato-​slathered bread, and that’s about as far as they take it (or I assume, based on the flavor of my pizza).
I mean, it’s not that expensive, so you wouldn’t lose much by giving it a try. I just don’t understand how anybody could call it great pizza.

Mr. X was just OK the other night. Not terrible, nothing exceptional. And they were over 25 minutes late with delivery… not OK! I’m sure they get busy, but most pizza joints that are much more popular don’t get away with douching out on their delivery service. I will note, however, that when the pizza finally did arrive that it was piping hot.
If you are going to order from Mr. X, I’d suggest carry out instead. That way, you can control when you’re getting the pizza.
