I had never eaten here before. Our group was 28 and I had the small margarita pizza and I am not a big pizza fan but this was thin crust and sooo delicious. We were there about 5pm on a Sunday. The staff were great and handled our big group with warmth and quite efficiently. I hope to be back there soon.

I ordered the Joe’s Special with bacon pizza for pickup. I called it in gave them my name and it was ready in 15 minutes. When I picked it up Joe Boccardi actually rang me out. The pizza was great and the crew was amazing. They really pilled on the toppings or “Took care of me.” There is a reason I’ve been going there since the 80’s and I always try to pick up a Joe’s pizza when I come through Eureka. Great food, great prices, and great service.

Had a pick up order with scallops and artichoke hearts w/fettuccini and light cream sauce. Most places by me charge more and give only a few scallops. Here, the dish was filled with them! The flavor was excellent. Wish cream sauce was a touch thicker. The ministrone was good but it was taken out, so maybe lacking in beans. It was delish. Just in the area a couple hours but will definitely going back to eat in! Real Italian food with authentic flavors.

The food is always excellent along with the service! Never disappointed after eating a meal here! The indoor seating in the smaller area is a bit tight though, feels like you're sitting on top of people and it can get a little loud in there at times. The outdoor seating is wonderful when the weather is nice!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, great family/community atmosphere. Let us split an entree. Eggplant parmigiana was perfect with crunchy crust and tender interior. Salad was so fresh! Decaf was lovely.

After reading several of the reviews, my wife and I took a chance and came for an early dinner. I am happy to say the negative reviews were unfounded, at least for us. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. We will definitely be back.

Best Pizza in STL. The past year my daughter and I went on a Pizza mission to all the Best rated Pizza spots in STL. I have to say Boccardis was/is our favorite. Always have a great meal at Boccardis! Canolis are awesome too!!
