Elicia’s Pizza

Are you kidding me? I may not be from here but I live in America… Right?
I don’t understand how they say they will deliver in 30 minutes and never send the order. I waited an hour and called them. And then they said that they were slow tonight. Don’t advertise that you are open late night if you can’t deliver. It’s St. Louis for God’s sake! I just don’t get it.
** ALSO make sure you understand what a St. Louis pizza is…
BUT they did give me my money back.

I don’t get why everyone loves that other local chain so much because Elicias is the best! Love their pizza so much I will be ordering 4 Deluxe pizzas to freeze and take back with me to North Carolina! I’m not kidding its that good. You locals are so lucky to have access to this anytime you want. That and toasted raviolis! Ugh! Why did I move away again…

This place is a better version of Imo’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love Imo’s too but Elicias is cheaper and they include more toppings. Their mule salad is awesome and they have good wings. I’m hesitant to move anywhere that doesn’t have an Elicias within delivery distance. They can get a pizza done in 14 minutes as well which is always a plus!

Now that I have had pizza from Elicia’s, I have realized that I don’t know good pizza. Just stopping through St. Louis so I am a little sad to be leaving it but I know I’ll be back next time I’m here.
Quick delivery and delicious square cut pizza makes it a 5-​star in my book.

Fast Delivery!

The woman I just dealt with on the phone should be fired. She was beyond the rudest person I’ve dealt with in my entire life. No words can explain it. I believe today is the 19^th. Elicias watch out who you hire.

Always here in 30 minutes, like clockwork. Good food, I especially like the cheeseburger pizza and the marinara meat sauce they provide with the mozzarella sticks. Very good stuff. Everyone there has been friendly, courteous and on the rare occasions something is wrong with my order, they have taken good care of me.

I ordered some of Elicia’s pIzza and salad a while back after moving my brother and his wife into his new house. They were a little late but that’s because there was a miscommunication on the address. Once it arrived we were starving… I mean ravenously hungry… we instantly devoured it.
We got the everything pizza plus a mongo salad. The salad was good especially for a pizza place. Nothing too fancy. The pizza was great, too. It had tons of toppings on it. Like, loads. Which is always great. Their pizza is thin (not sure if they even do thick crust). I am not partial to either one and I liked it a lot. The crust was light and yummy.
If it weren’t eaten so quickly I might have more to tell you about! I would recommend ordering Elicia’s if you are in the area. Or you should go check it out in-​store!

I hate to only give them 2, because the pizza is a 5. The staff, however, consistently belies their discontent with the customers’ ordering from this location. I’m not asking for a red carpet here, just a little manners. Oh well — I’ll keep ordering for the food, but this location has some really crummy staff.

Was very disappointed with the two I received. Cheese was burned. At least the delivery guy was nice. He is why I have it one star.

Elicia’s is my go-​to delivery pizza place. In fact, I haven’t had Imos in years simply because Elicia’s does it better. I love their cheese blend and usually go light on the toppings so there’s room for more of that glorious cheese.
Speaking of cheese, when I’m extra hungover or just want to be an all-​around fatty, I get their cheese fries. You wouldn’t imagine that these would be good — especially since take out tends to make fries soggy. Wrong! The fries are simple, but delicious, and bonus… they give you not one, but TWO sides of spicy cheese sauce to dip them in. I highly recommend them. The spicy cheese makes them slightly different from your run-​of-​the-​mill cheese fries.
Finally, I have to say that Elicia’s scores high on service. They are always fast and friendly. If you pick up your order, it’s usually done in about 15 minutes. Also, I’ve never had to deal with the unenthused voice on the other end of the line when I order. You can tell that they got it, they’re on it, and your order will be correct. Mine always is.

It may have been the generous glass of wine I poured myself while house/​dogsitting for a friend, but I was impressed. Several weekends ago I found myself starving when midnight rolled around. A quick internet search told me that Elicia’s Pizza down the street was open till 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays and 1 am for the rest of the week! Impressive. And perfect for my late night cravings, when I want food and I want it fast. Pickup/​Delivery only. This location in particular has two awkward chairs in the corner where you can wait and drukenly stare out onto Hampton if you wish.
The people working the night shift were really friendly and FAST, for pizzas that are made fresh. My pizza was ready in about ten minutes. I ordered a large with sausage and mushroom, and they were definitely heavy-​handed with the latter. Not complaining. And the cheese was actually really good (by that, I meant less provel). I ended up eating the entire 14 inch pizza by myself while watching reruns of Iron Chef America on the Food Network. No joke.
And then, still buzzed, I left the empty pizza box on top of my friend’s pantry so her stupid dog wouldn’t get to it, but forgot to throw it away when I left. Still haven’t gotten around to telling her. Oops. I’m such a bad, fatass friend. I’ll get to it the next time I’m over there.
I like you, Elicia’s Pizza. You may not be a super classy pizza joint by any means, but you know what you’re doing, especially when I don’t, and for that, you get points in my book.

Currently my favorite to-​go pizza in STL.
Cheese blend is great, toppings are good. Fresh, fast, homeade pizza.
What’s not to like?

Another great local pizza place, Elicia’s is another awesome Saint Louis style pizza every visitor needs to try. The crust is flakey and flat compared to the «cracker» crust from Imo’s. The sauce is a bit spicier as well but for some reason, anytime I order sausage or hamburger from them, the cheese just seems to stick to the toppings and changes the taste for the better with each bite. I can’t quite put it into words but the taste is amazing.
Their wings are also excellent and are the perfect balance between hot and spicey. I really do recommend ordering them as they compliment the pizza very well.
This location actually offers online ordering and you can get it delievered or for carry-​out which is great. Carry-​out is always quick, usually by the time I leave my place in Franz Park my order is ready right as I pull up.
No dine in, but still a great place to go pick up a pizza and head home to watch a movie or a Blues game with.

I’m drunk so everything gets a 5!!!
Why?
#1 They got my order right
#2 Instead of the customary 30−45minute wait, it took only 20 minutes
#3 I“M DRUNK!!! So yummy in the tummy.
St. Louis type, which I don’t normally like, buta apparenbtly is good when I’m drunk.
Everyone else says it’s good and «what St. Louis Style should taste like»
«What Imos wishes it tasted like»
«What my woman Tastyes likes»
«A little burnt on the right side»
«And I like my girlfriend like I like my pizza with gift certificates available»

I prefer Elicias to Imo’s nowadays.
WHY? Imo’s has become «too known as St Louis Pizza».
What I mean by that is, they have stopped to impress upon the food, and now its about the name, Imo’s.
Elicia’s is Great.
I’m pretty sure their crust is fresh, if not its better than the Roma shells all other StL stylers use.
The sauce is sweet and hearty.
Their cheese is a mix of mozz/​prov, but that is better for me, its not as runny and browns atop nicely.
Elicias has other food too, sandwiches which are just ok, and the standard appetizer fare.
The other thing they do well here is Wings.
I am somewhat a Chicken Wang expert, and can say Elicias is in my Top 5 wing spots in St Louis. (list coming soon, add me :)
The tub of wings, which must be 4 – 5 lbs of wings, is only $ 18 and the mild sauce is awesome. Order them «Crispy» for a bit extra crunch.
Elicias is my 1^st choice for ordering Pizza nowadays, and is always fast.
NOT to mention, on weekends, they are open until 2 or 3am!
Overall;
⁴⁄₅ on food (its as good as delivery gets for me)
⁴⁄₅ on service, fast & friendly.
³⁄₅ on Phone service, sometimes they are rude.
Ordering Tip: they have a $ 5 off Web Coupon on their website, for all orders over $ 25, just mention it. They dont require the coupon @ the door.

If Imo’s and real pizza had a weird baby that took more of Imo’s genes than real pizza’s, it would be Elicia’s.
Less provel, more mozzarella. It’s basically as thin as Imo’s.
Elicia’s is a very good St. Louis-​style alternative to Imo’s. Also, the Watson location (which is not MY Elicia’s these days) has some of the strangest-​looking people delivering their pizza.
