Great pizza that’s cracker thin; but strong. It’s nice to see a pizzeria not shy away from using herbs on their pizza or in their meatballs, although some with bland palettes may find it too much. I enjoyed the deluxe salad, especially because of the house dressing, which was different; but good. Chicken tenders have a good breading; and the fried mushrooms are served hot (but without exploding in your mouth with scorching hot grease.) Although the place seems to do mostly carry out, there’s a nice little dining room cutoff from the carry out traffic, so you don’t have to worry about getting blasted with cold air on a winter night when people enter/exit. The owner seems really nice. Give them a try. They’re a fine alternative to chains, both local and national...and should be a destination for those in South County/South City.
My fiancé and I just moved to south county. Mama Mel’s was the first place we’ve tried and it was AMAZING!!! If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out. I highly recommend!
The pizza was absolutely amazing. We usually eat Domino's but after trying mama Mel's we won't order from any where else.
Fantastic pizza and wonderful service! Mel is super nice and has great food at fair prices. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat.
It may be small but they have a whole lot to offer got me an extra large cheese pizza with sauces and bacon a BLT and very hot french fries and I love the lemonade because it's pink and love the homemade cheesecake
Ordered a regular cheese pizza. Pretty tasty. A little on a burned side though, I did love the crisp crust. Will be back since it’s right by my house.
Mama Mel's has some of the best pizza I have ever had! Absolutely dedicated staff and ownership! Excellent mom and pop pizza restaurant..get yourself some Mama Mel's pizza and you will be glad you did and will be going back for more!
Always a great place to eat. Even had the owner deliver our food before because she was short staffed!!
My favorite pizza in St Louis!! And that’s saying something. Great brick oven St Louis style pizza. Salads and appetizers are also great. Just go!
Go there pretty often. So many good items, always a hard decision. French dip is awesome, dip your cheese garlic bread in the ajus. House salad with house dressing is the best. Homemade croutons. Pork steak is better than Kenricks. Pizza is pretty freaking good. Discount for bringing cash, cheaper than swiping your card. Go hungry, get ready to throw down!
Yelp led me to this place for lunch while working in the area. I got the Lemolian, which is basically a Gerber (shaved ham on garlic cheese bread). $7 with tax, and the sandwich was good sized, and also came with 2 sides. I got the homemade potato salad, and onion rings. The potato salad was good, the onion rings were of the frozen variety, but we're good, and cooked nicely. Mel also has several specials during the week. Go to Facebook to keep up with daily specials.
I mistakenly thought they wrote until 8:30 and called 8:00 and they still got in my order even though Friar had been turned off and anticipation of closing. They offered me an easy and tasty substitution for fries. Friendly and outgoing and would definitely recommend
