First time at Pio's and I have to say the atmosphere was dated but comfortable. The place has an old feel to it. That isn't a bad thing! It's dark but welcoming. The service was competent and very friendly. Our server was on point and didn't make us feel like she wanted us out the door to flip the table. She explained the food preparation and ingredients to us with obvious pride in the product. Which believe me isn't done much anymore. As for the food! The pizza 🍕 was simply amazing! Our server explained that the crust is made in house and fresh. The sauce was tart and a little sweet with a great seasoning base. She explained that the cheese was a five-cheese blend that is a guarded secret. It was all fantastic! Take my advice and give this little place a chance. You won't be disappointed!

My Mom and I visited Pio and were very taken with the old world feel and story behind the history of the restaurant. The food was very good and our waitress Deanna (I believe) was very friendly and efficient. My Mom had the crab cakes that were different but very tasty. I had the Shrimp Alfredo with broccoli. My Alfredo was delicious, however, the some shrimp were overcooked. I imagine it was due to the residual heat as the pasta was piping hot! We will be back again for the quaint and authentic atmosphere.

Every time I come in for lunch I'm greeted in a friendly way. I'm given a glass of water, told the special of the day, given time to look over menu and make my choices. I've yet to have a bad meal regardless of what I choose. My latest visit, May 4th, was the special of the day which was a salmon patty that was delicious!! As always, my waitress, Jessie, gave me ample time to enjoy my salad before bringing out the main course. Then I am always given plenty of time to eat before my bill is brought out. My latest visit was enjoyable in every way possible.

Visited two weeks ago and had the prime rib. That was good as the pictures. Then went back today. Took a first time adventure and ordered the vegetarian lasagna entree. It was shockingly good and much lighter fare than the traditional preparation.

So this place. The building is very old, and the bathrooms are ridiculous, but the pizza..... This place has the best St. Louis style pizza I've ever had. The crust was firm and crispy, with a nice char around the edges. The sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. The sauce was savory and not over sweet. They are generous with the topping. It was so damn good. Oh and the garlic cheese bread was also amazing. The staff was also very friendly.
