Pointers Pizza — Restaurant in Richmond Heights

INCONSISTENT quality is what keeps this review neither five stars nor one star. I have lived across the street from Pointers for four years, and I've ordered from them many times. This week, I ordered for probably the last time, which is a real shame. If you get these guys on a good day, then your pizza is great (as in, some of the best pizza in St. Louis). I'd say 75 percent of the time, the pizza is great. The service is fast. The value is not great, given that you may not get a great pizza every time.

Here's the real issue. When the pizza isn't good, then you're frustrated from spending the money on it. I have had burned pizza from Pointers, pizza with little toppings or extremely thin crust (when I ordered regular), or just "sloppy" pizza, if that makes sense. Sometimes, I swear it seems like they are just being lazy (the slices are sliced uneven or not even completely sliced, etc.)

If you're going to try them out, I recommend getting something simple. The best value is two 16" pizzas. The monster-sized "Pointersaurus" is fun for a large group, but don't expect it to look fancy.

The better option, I hate to say it, is to buy pizza elsewhere. La Pizza is similar: its local, a tiny place run by two guys, and always high quality-- but they run out of food quickly. Pi Pizzeria is awesome and unique, but it's not the little tiny shop that gives Pointers its provincial charm. Deweys is like Pi, except for probably even better. With so many solid choices in Saint Louis, why go to the place that 25% of the time just can't get it right??

If you're not from Saint Louis, then don't do Imo's. It's a local flavor, but most out-of-towners do not like the...

We ordered a 14" Mastodon, which according to their website has: Sausage, ham, bacon, pepperoni, beef, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives and extra cheese. We ordered it without the ham and added chicken. When we received it, it appeared to have no cheese. I called the restaurant, and spoke to someone who identified themselves as the "owner". I explained that our pizza didn't have cheese on it (let alone extra cheese).

The person who claimed to be the owner read my order back to me, told me that they knew it had cheese on it because they made it. I offered to send the picture, at this point, the "owner' is defensive, I am irritated and my husband is in the background livid. I was told that I could take the picture but it didn't matter because he made the pizza and that's just how much cheese they put on that pizza. I was also told they were short staffed to which I expressed I was sorry to hear that and due to the tone I I was dealing with, his short staff was not not my fault.

I informed the person that I have been ordering form them for over 20 years. They promptly told me that I had only been ordering since 2016 an I was actually out of their delivery area. I felt compelled to give them the other two addresses I had that were 2 minutes east of the one I have now. He promptly told me that he would refund me for the pizza and not do business with me anymore. I hope they do refund the amount for the pizza. More than anything, I am disappointed that it all went this way, this could have all been...

We attempted to complete the Pointersaurus, with FOUR people and still could not complete the challenge.. The last team to do this was 4 years ago. Pizza was decent, tons of toppings but quite doughy. I'm an IMO's fan when visiting St Louis but had to try this...
