Peel Wood Fired Pizza

This is one of our Favorite places to get pizza in STL area. Wood fired pizza puts regular pizza to shame, and it's not that expensive. We got the Mexican Street Corn as the appetizer and it was delicious (last time we got the toasted ravioli which is really good as well). Great gluten free options. Plus we couldn't pass up the homemade cookies for dessert 🍪. We've eaten here multiple times now and everything is always amazing.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been so finally made it back. Our server Ellie was fantastic. Nice atmosphere with plenty of seating. And not too loud. I’m partial to the involtini. It’s amazing. Could be had as a meal. We tried the bbq chicken pizza - good The prosciutto pizza - good. Would suggest without the potatoes and garlic. Garlic cloves were a bit too much for me. The chocolate chip cookies were served warm and quite good! Would recommend and will go back!

Yum, yum, yum!!! The pizza there is amazing. I wish we had one in MN I would order from there all the time. I'm not a big fan of the toasted ravioli, though. I expected more cheese inside and not all beef. The pizza made up for it, though. I will have to get a few different items next time I am in town, though, and see what else tastes good on the menu!

TLDR: do NOT order takeout, but the pizza is good So- ordered online to pickup for an at home date night. Arrived when I was meant to and checked in with the hostess. A few minutes go by and I’ve faded into the background so I check in again, with a different front of house worker. A few more minutes pass- still nothing. I wait. Get prompted by yet another front of house worker as the waves of pickup customers have already cycled out a few times while I was there. They disappear into the back and I never see them again. 20 minutes in I’m trying hard to act cool because I was a server for years and I get it, sometimes things are weird. I continue to wait, making meaningful eye contact with everyone I have given my name to already. 30 minutes in a manager comes to the front and asks my name. She apologized and pulled my lukewarm food from a holding bag behind the service desk- like a magic trick. It has been right next to me the whole time. I thank her and leave. I get home and open up my parcels to get started on the Caesar salad while the pizza reheats so I can pretend I’m eating a vegetable. It is a bowl of plain Lettuce with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and a side of Italian dressing. I actually laughed a little bit. I have a sense of humor. My husband tried to hold a straight face while I seasoned and redressed the salad waxing poetic about the lack of respect that Romaine had endured, and I put the pizzas into the oven to reheat. After 20 more minutes at the house, we had dinner! I made as many dishes as if I’d cooked at home. We will try again for in-house dining. Everybody has a weird night and the pizza was actually quite delicious!

We entered Peel for the first time today. We were welcomed by incredibly happy staff. The food was beyond exceptional. The Wood Fired Lobsters Pizza is a divine surprise. It was truly the best pizza we have ever eaten anywhere in this entire country. We also enjoyed every bite of the Farmers Salad, Wood Fired Shrimp and a made to order, hot in a pan, exquisite Apple Pie topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Each and every bite of our meal was absolutely followed by "oh my god this is so delicious". We took a moment to ask if a manager was available for a few questions and raves. Marlene, the manager, approached our table with a beautiful smile. We asked her to join us for a moment. We had a wonderful heartfelt conversation. We specifically asked, "why is everyone that works here so happy"? After talking with Marlene, it is clear, the chef and owners set the tone for this exceptional restaurant. This restaurant is a fantastic example of how to create and maintain a standard of excellence in food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Bravo to every employee that made our night special. We will be back and we highly recommend that you don't miss out on anything that this restaurant has to offer.
