We pizza lovers know where to find a good slice, especially in our very own neighborhood. Sometimes we feel a bit adventurous, though, and want to try new pizza joints. If you’re in the St. Louis-area, you might not give a second look when passing by Monte Bello. However, you definitely want to make a detour to this hole in the wall pizza joint in Missouri, because it dishes up some of the best pizza in the area.

Don’t expect flashy lights or a fancy exterior at Monte Bello in St. Louis. The popular pizza joint sits tucked in the basement of a home, and it’s been earning rave reviews since 1950.

The cozy pizzeria is perhaps best known for its homemade sauce, but that’s not all of the homemade goodness you’ll find on the menu. Fancy a helping of homemade all-beef toasted ravioli to go with your pizza?
