Customer Review Summary
Thin crust pizza stands as the clear draw for reviewers, with several calling it S-tier and one going so far as to say it's the best pizza in St. Louis, prizing how the crust holds up against other local spots. Close behind, longtime regulars single out the pepperoni and mushroom and the sausage and pepperoni as favorites, and many describe the staff and service as friendly, with some customers reporting decades of loyalty to the place. A few also mention the ravioli as good. Complaints are inconsistent but specific: one reviewer visiting near closing found the crust doughy and undercooked with no crispness, a sweeter sauce, and less rich cheese than usual, while another reported a soggy iceberg salad and soggy wing breading. One diner was surprised to find their order topped with cheddar rather than marinara sauce, calling it not quite pizza. Despite these occasional inconsistencies, most describe leaving satisfied, often finishing a whole pie, like the large sausage and pepperoni one reviewer said was reduced to nothing.

“I took a trip through the Pizza Connection. I wanted to see if they all were the same or if some were better than the others. In all honesty, the order i tried them in is the order i would rank them. I do remember trying Saullo's when i was in highschool. Angelo's has been my go to for years and still stands as the best pizza i can find. Pirrone's was so close to Angelo's but there is a slight edge that goes to Angelo's. Like the over is 5 degrees lower or something. Almost the same exact pizza. Faraci's was close to it also but there was something different about the sauce that made Pirrone's better imo. Serra's is temporarily closed at the time so we ended up the trip with Nick & Elana's. As you can see its the only one that comes in a circle. Same taste but ill have to rank them at the end of this list. Still all are better than 90 percent of the pizza in this city. Any pick is a winner for the day.”

“This is one spot you won’t regret trying. Food is fresh and people are very friendly. Will be coming back!”

“Easy to miss small building in a small parking space. Also not for dining. But the pizza here is hands down S-Tier. The best pizza in St.Louis without question. Thin crust is king, and it will be near impossible to find any pizza better than Faraci.”
- Trinette de Freitas
“Hate to say it because other reviews were good but this isn’t pizza. I can’t really see any marinara sauce and it’s covered with cheddar cheese???? Maybe it’s a local thing but…my husbands ravioli was good.”
- Jane Muckerman
“I have been eating Faraci since 1972. Pepperoni and mushroom is my favorite. Very friendly Service and pizza is always consistently good. Definitely our go to for pizza.”
