Union Loafers

I always get amazing bread here! They put it online every day and you can reserve loaves to pick up later :) If you don’t know what to get I would recommend the Light+Mild loaf, it’s a wonderful sourdough that’s great with some butter! “Janie’s Bread” is the whole wheat version of their sourdough which is even more sour if you’re into that, I loved it myself. They open 11-3 for deli sandwich lunch service, and then 5-9:15 for dinner with their pizzas. Retail bread loaves are available this entire time (even when they are “closed” for dining in between meals), and the hoagie + demi baguettes they use for sandwiches are available to purchase after 3pm- DO NOT miss out on those demi baguettes they are WONDERFUL.

A must visit if you are in St Louis! We went on a Friday night without a reservation, and we were seated right away. The host and servers are all very friendly and helpful, with a good knowledge of the menu. We shared the Caesar's salad between 2 to start, and had a whole pizza each for main (although 1 pizza between 2 would be enough), so took some home in a box. The drinks menu is just what you need for a casual pizza night and they have non alcoholic options too! Would definitely return!

The bread was excellent, overall. The pretzel was decent but a bit overbaked. The pizza rosso bread was amazing but the oily tomato topping was odd and not my favorite. I’d like to come back for dinner to try their pizza but it’s kind of a hassle to get – you have to reserve a timeslot online at 4:00p the day of.

Honestly, probably the best pizza I’ve ever had!! Plus, the cheese and burnt toast were amazing as well. Super friendly staff too. I knew nothing about this place other than the pizza being good based on what I’ve seen online so we just showed up, but you do need a reservation. However, they were very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back.

Union loafers was such a refreshing little place in St Louis. Stopped here on the recommendation from a work colleague while “stranded” in town on a work trip. Great service and friendly staff. The Blueberry Lemon soda was just amazing and so refreshing, I still dream of it. Will definitely stop here again next time I’m in town.

Delicious Saturday Even meal on the patio. The Cesar salad was unique in its freshness and flavor . The mixed drink I tried was with a persimmon liquor held my interest and was very exciting. The mushroom pizza did not disappoint. The only mediocre part of our meal was the cookie. It was ok, but with everything else so stellar, it could not keep up.

Place is usually packed but pretty quick, and always highly recommend for lunch, pizza, or just stopping in for some bread - because that is what they are known for after all. Sitting on the infamous corner in botanical Heights boasting a shortlist of heavy hitting restaurants and bakeries in the St. Louis food scene. The pics are a recent trip and feature the smoked trout salad sandwich and some other crowd favorites.
