Lemongrass on South Grand. Racanelli's Cucina in Delmar was the bomb and cheap, but it's not there anymore

Thai Pizza Co. in Delmar is awesome.

When was the last time you were in there? You talking service or the pizza? I ate there about a week ago and food wise it was really really good.

At first they definately couldnt hold a candle to the noco original for service or food and had issues, but last few times in the last month I been there it was not far off the original. They have definately improved and shook off the new location problems they had. Service still is not amazing, food is yummy.

Original one is best still but the one out in St Peters/ O'fallon (not sure where it falls on the dividing line)... was no bad at all last time. Pretty fucking good actually and service is improving alot.

We went about a month ago and I just didn't care for the atmosphere, seems as is everyone who worked there are all friends and focus on talking about what's going on for the night instead of the customers. It took about 40 minutes for us to get a Pizza and some pasta, and they weren't extremely busy.

Food was good but it just seems to taste better in Florissant, but I'm probably being biased lol.

Is bonos the place with the giant pizza? I think I remember watching Man vs Food where he went somewhere in St. Louis to eat a giant pizza. I could be wrong though.

Places I've been to and definitely like:
- Oishi Sushi (In Creve Coeur off of Ballas and Olive. LOVE the salmon they have along with some of the other stuff on their menu. They also have a place in Chesterfield.)
- Pi Pizza (Went to the one in Kirkwood off of Manchester. http://www.restaurantpi.com/locations/ for a list of locations)
- House of India (Off of Delmar and 170. Can't get enough of the stuff)
- Lemongrass (Seconding Edison on that. Stuff is pretty good and better than my mom's cooking, though she sometimes serves hair with her cooking...)
- Granite City (Off of Olive and Craig in the same plaza as Dierbergs.)

Finally it's mentioned!

Also gotta agree with Cunettos. I worry about that place a bit because it's not as busy as it used to be all the time. It's prices are very fair and the food is amazing.

Also, to add:

-City Diner
-The Royale
-Iron Barley
-Modesto
-O'Connell's Pub
-California Pizza Kitchen (A chain but I love it)

There are plenty more, they just don't come to mind at the moment.

I love Pi, especially with their corn bread crusts on their take of a deep dish. It's definitely interesting having corn bread as the crust, but when it's mixed with everything else from the toppings to the drinks, worked out amazingly well for me. Was good enough to get a passing grade from my sister-in-law who came from the Chicago area.

City Diner - Pretty good place. Forgot about that for a second XD
Iron Barley - Definitely on my to-go list, especially ever since I saw what they had to offer when it was on Man vs. Food. Same with Pappy's Smokehouse and Crown Candy Kitchen.

I won't eat at Pi and neither will anyone I know. The owner has 2 different breach of contract lawsuits against him right now. The food might be awesome, but in my opinion, he's a dick.

oO; First I've heard of that. Then again haven't eaten there in a few months thanks to school and work owning my ass.
