Talk:St. Louis–style pizza/Archive 1

Merge
This seriously needs to be merged with Saint Louis-style pizza! (Let's open that "Saint" vs. "St." can of worms and have a worm pizza!) Kbh3rd 16:22, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I finally got around to merging info from Saint Louis-style pizza. I've got reasons I could argue for why I chose to merge under "St. Louis" instead of "Saint Louis", though I'm not religious about it. My main arguement is that whenever and wherever the city name appears in magazines and newspapers in other cities, it is spelled with the abbreviation. So it's the way almost everyone everywhere expects to see the city name.

BTW, Talayna's still exists in at least one if not more locations, though the site on Skinker might not be there anymore. Kbh3rd 02:14, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * The location on Skinker is still there last time I checked. I'm pretty sure. (As a side note, as a St. Louisan, I want to set the record straight - St. Louis-style pizza SUCKS. lol) Zafiroblue05 04:21, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Location on Skinker has been closed for several years. The building has been demolished and replaced by a Washington University building.  The Talanya's location has relocated to DeBalivere Avenue about a mile east of Skinker TMS63112 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There's one on DeBaliviere and Pershing, and one somewhere near Hampton and Oakland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.163.139 (talk) 13:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have never seen St. Louis style pizza in Northern Illinois...I removed the reference to this in the article.

Other Pizzerias
The Pasta House Co (based in St. Louis and located in Missouri and surrounding states) specializes in Italian dishes originating from "The Hill." They serve St. Louis style pizza similar to Imo's. 12.145.237.146 (talk) 10:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Pointer's site has been featured on the Food Network and Time Magazine, doesn't it merit a blurb in the entry?

No, they don't even make St. Louis style pizza from what I can tell. Also, sign your posts, and new entries go at the bottom of a topic. Gamer83 17:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC) Added. Honestly I hadn't heard of some of the other pizzeras listed, but pointers is in business at least. Whitebox 03:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

If you want to make a separate article for Pointers and cite food network and time magazine, go ahead, but this is an article on St. Louis style pizza, not specific pizzarias. Gamer83 17:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Extra info that was removed from the article is preserved here, that it may be of use to anyone looking up pizza in the St, Louis Area Whitebox 21:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Fortel's Pizza Den is a family run pizzeria that has won national awards for their unique ingredients.

Also Talayna's is well known for making this slop as well. Disgusting. 71.14.95.231 16:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Pizzeria della Piazza(review) in the Italian neighborhood the Hill makes Italian style pizzas and deep dish pies too.
 * Pizza A Go Go and Racanelli's specialize in New York Style pizza.
 * Feraro's (menu) even serves only New Jersey style pizzas.

I do not think that Elicia's Pizza has over 10 locations. I think the article is mistaken about that. (Erik) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.163.161.96 (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC) _________________________________________________________________________________________

Regarding this link at bottom of page "Cuisine of the Midwestern United States." Believe that should be included as an example in the section titled "oxymoron." 68.13.191.153 18:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Midwesterners are known for making foods rich with excesses of fatty farm and slaughterhouse produce. Butter Burgers are another example. Feel free to write an editorial elsewhere about how American culture could improve, but this article is just documenting what Midwesterners have already done. Whitebox 13:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Cruft Removal
There was a large amount of cruft that I just removed. Someone amade additions about places to get chigago style pizza as well as other things that have nothing to do with STL style pizza. If anyone wishes to discuss this further feel free to do so here. Gamer83 22:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
After reading this article again, it appears somone has done a(poor) re-write of this article. Citation is needed to back up claims, and NPOV needs to be employed(i.e. you can't refer to the pizza as "savory", that's POV. I love Imo's pizza as much as the next guy, but this article need to be fixed. Gamer83 22:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

No, savory is OK. Besides its meaning of "flavorful", it also has a neutral meaning: "not sweet". ABehrens (talk) 03:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Pizzerias
I've removed most of the pizzerias mentioned in this article as most of the items sounded like advertisements. Wikipedia is not a restaurant or travel guide. Descriptions that are meant to appeal to visitors of St. Louis should be relegated to Wikitravel, instead. --Millbrooky (talk) 19:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Millbrooky, I completely disagree. You need to understand that many people turn to Wikipedia for a quick reference about food in general. Granted, this is not always the best source for accurate info, but it does serve a purpose. This article is about St. Louis pizza, something that is as territorially "St. Louis-ish" as "where'd ya go to high school?"

I do the same because I'd like to hear from a real person about the local pizza, burgers, barbecue, etc. I think it would be great if there were a hundred restaurant reviews in this article; it would give the reader a clear idea of the variety and choices available in St. Louis. I encourage other writers to keep adding reviews here.

For those who don't like St. Louis-style pizza, fine -- this article is by and for those of us who are interested. Tastes vary; it's OK if you get yours somewhere else. We aren't passing judgment on anyone or whatever it is you like to eat. --Moproducer (talk) 21:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This is an encyclopedia, if you want to read a page of St. Louis Style pizzeria reviews you should make that on its own web page, and consider linking it to this encyclopedia page. Whitebox (talk) 23:54, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
