Dinos Italian Restaurant

Excellent pizza, wonderful atmosphere (only 4 – 5 tables in a small space, so it’s cozy) and the folks there were wonderful. Good place for NY style pizza. Didn’t eat other stuff, but nice looking group of options on the menu

We really enjoy the pizza. Great crust and tasty toppings. Owner made sure the crust was good and crisp, just like I asked. Side salad had plentiful toppings.

I personally did not care for this pizza. It was editable, but I can’t come up with the right words to describe the taste. When I sit down to eat at a restaurant, I except to eat from real plates and bowls and not paper or plastic. The restaurant itself was clean, but very small. You can’t have a conversation without the entire dinning area hearing your conversation. I did appreciate the Christmas music playing in the back ground at a reasonable sound level. Very welcoming

If you’re looking for gluten free, definitely come here. The owner is friendly and has a separate kitchen for anyone with celiac. The pizza is excellent and the gluten free crumb cake is to die for. Virtually everything is made handmade. The owner greeted us as soon as we walked in the door and it felt like we left Missouri and were transported to the east coast. Will be back next time I’m in town.

Very good pizza, but they are unwilling to make half of one kind of pizza and the other half another kind. We would have preferred to see a smaller 10 inch pizza offered so we could have chosen two pizzas of our choice at a reasonable cost. For the cost of the meal, we were really surprised to see paper and plastic plates used at dinner time. We were not picnicking, we were going out to dinner. Real plates and silverware would do a lot to add to the experience.

Wow… that’s great pizza!
I read a few of the reviews that talked about how rude the owner was. He was very pleasant and kind to us, but I could see where someone could be rubbed the wrong way. If you think Dino is rude then I suggest you never visit New York. Sometimes they’re coarse and abrasive, but if your skin is thick enough then you’ll find they’re really nice people.
We ordered the 14″ Borelli pizza, which is basically the Cadillac. All of the ingredients are fresh and you can definitely tell. The crust is thick, but not too filling, and the amount of sauce is just perfect. The sausage is cut just like New York-​style pizza should be. It’s definitely the best pizza I’ve had on this side of the river.
We’ll definitely be back.

The owner is a jerk. Completely rude. No wonder he has a little shop in middle of St Peters. Couldn’t make it in New York.

Amazing!!! Dino is so welcoming. We stumbled upon this great place after a soccer game because our daughter wanted pizza and we wated something different. We will be back very soon! The pizza sauce was delish. We can’t wait to go back to try the pastas.

First time here. Barb teally liked the eggplant parm. I had the chicken piccata. Flavorful sauce but chicken a little tough. Overall thought it was good and looking forward to trying the pizza. Excellent flavor on side pasta which they made by request just butter and garlic but wonderful seasoning.

Best New York Style pizza I’ve had outside of NY! Dino and his family are amazing. I will definitely be back!

I first went to Dino’s because I was looking for a great New York style pizza and I was not disappointed. Everything from the highest quality ingredients, music and the ambiance connects you to authentic Italian cuisine. The pizza was a true NY slice of heaven! I ordered an 18 inch cheese pizza where each slice was an enormous, even foldable slice. The dough had the perfect bite and you can taste the semolina flour, the high quality mozzarella cheese has no grease, and the tomato sauce is to die for. Dino takes pride in everything he touches and as the owner he still cooks everything, right in front of you. It’s a place you expect to find on one of those hidden gem TV shows on the food network. I knew right away that I would be back for more…
Last night I took my visiting relatives and Dino ensured we had an amazing experience. Our table was reserved with a nice placeholder too. We ordered just about everything and it was like being invited into an Italian family’s home for a generational taste of the best of their secret family recipes.
The soup was incredible, made with a light cream based sauce, pasta noodles, and bits of parmesan cheese. The homemade pastas were perfection as well. Raviolis stuffed with high quality sirloin, lasagna oozed with ricotta cheese, and the chicken parmesan exploded with flavor. Our pepperoni and sausage pizza was also fantastic, with homemade sausage sliced thin and bursting with flavor. The portions were enormous with plenty to share and take home too.
Dino’s represents the epitome of authentic Italian cuisine. If you want to experience truly amazing food, take a trip out to St. Peter’s and enjoy a truly unique dining experience.

Have you ever had a place that you loved going to and all of a sudden it closed down and you thought, what happened? And then there are other places that stay open and you say to yourself, how does this place stay in business. Enough said.

One of the rudest encounters I’ve ever had with who I believe to have been the owner. Because of that experience & reason alone, I will not return or recommend to anyone.

Had a Groupon coupon but Dino was less than helpful and refused to honor it. He said it was not his problem that he was unable to navigate Groupon voucher.

AMAZING! Dino’s is by far the best Italian food in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian food and good times. The owner is friendly and very personable.
We enjoyed the chicken scampi is by far the best I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend this place enough..

This place is the BOMB the owner is super cool and the food is by far one of the best in St. Louis. Chicken Marsala is a must try! And we also had muscacholli and mozzarella sticks. It was Valentine’s Day and the owner hooked up free desert! Definitely will be back very shortly, make sure to stop in if you have some time in the area.

Phenomenal! Everything was cooked to order and excellent! We ordered a piece of pizza for our daughter and tasted it also and wished we had ordered pizza our selves! Do you know personally greeted us and asked us our food was and his daughter served us and both provided excellent customer service! We will be back with other family to introduce them to the best kept secret in St. Peters!

Nothing short of amazing. The food is outstanding, made from scratch, with Dino cooking from his heart just on the other side of the bar. Feels like visiting someone’s house and having them cook for you.
Dinos is better than most places I have eaten on The Hill. Yes. It is that good.

My wife and I were looking for something different and I was really in the mood for pizza.
I started checking out places on Unilocal and we discovered this place.
The pizza was absolutely amazing! We met the owner and he is 100% about quality and authenticity and it shows in every bite. We can’t wait to go back and try some other items.

To say that Dino is passionate about his home made everything is to
Understate. Dino is over the top on delivering what he feels is great quality food. The place is tiny, the food is terrific, the passion is palpable.
St. Louis is known for terrible Italian versions of pizza and pasta. I say forgo them, and visit someone who cares how food should be made.
You can have your greasy NY pies and your Grand Canyon Chicago pizzas. Come here for made from scratch heartfelt food.
