Pastaria
Clayton, Missouri
With a name like that, you might expect pasta dishes to be the star of the menu — and while there's plenty of pasta on offer, it's the pizza at Pastaria that really impresses. Their wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pies come topped with fresh ingredients — often seasonal in nature — including house-made pepperoni, smoked pork, jalapeno, avocado, fennel, and salami. Joining the pastas and pizzas are a small number of meat-based entrees, as well as a selection of soups, salads, appetizers, and desserts — including great gelato and kick-ass cannoli.
