Blue Plate Special: Fortel's pizza is popular because the dough used for the medium-thin crust is made on-site and real mozzarella cheese is always used. While the classic tomato sauce is also homemade, Fortel's encourages customers to try other sauces like the white sauce, pesto, barbeque or even a beef gravy sauce. Appetizers include the usual fried fare of wings, cheese sticks and toasted ravioli. The menu also offers salads, sandwiches, and pastas.
The Dish: This mom-and-pop pizzeria is now a successful St. Louis area chain of nine pizza joints, but it all began here in Affton where the Fortel family turned a little pizzeria into an 80-seat dining room.
The Atmosphere: Pizza places abound in every city, so Fortel's must be doing something right to have expanded so rapidly. The tables fill quickly, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, with families, teens, pizza lovers and folks looking for a late-night meal. The serve-yourself soda ensures a very casual atmosphere. -- Hillary Wicai

Really Good Pizza
TELSTAR409 - 07/25/2008We eat at the McKenzie location. The toppings are the freshest around and they are more than generously applied. Love the sauce.
Could use a little more cheese though.Comments(0)|Add Commentwhat a joke
Italia1170 - 06/21/2008They would go out of business in NY serving this pizza when compared to the greats like Grimaldi's, Pats and John's Pizza in NYC. PEOPLE HERE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT PIZZA IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
something has changed!!!!
ScoobySTL36 - 06/06/2008i have been going to fortel's for over 20 yrs and the pizza has always been the best , but over the last year something has changed ,the pizza taste different and the cheese taste's bad. i think as they have grown as a business they have taken short cut's .whatever you did stop and go back to the old way!!!never compromise the original product.
.Love that Pizza!!!
MMR53 - 05/31/2008We eat at the Fortel's in Fairview Heights, IL.
It is the best pizza we have had moving around in the military anywhere.
Love supporting a family own business.
So much toppings on it, that my husband can still have it without the crust on a low carb diet. Their crust is the best. We also love their own salad dressing. You can buy it at Schnuck's grocery stores.
Way to go Fortel's!!!WONDERFUL! Best pizza in the area!
LAChrismer - 05/31/2008I live in O'Fallon, Missouri and order from the one off of Mexico Road. The staff is especially friendly and courteous. The pizza is so delicious. The crust has just enough crunch and is very flavorful. Also, their sauce is the best youâll ever taste. Itâs almost a little sweet! They set the standard for "piled high" pizzas. If you order one of their specialty pizzas (my favorite is the Shelly's Deluxe) you can only eat but a few slices because they are so filling! One plus for me is they offer green olives as a topping. If you've never had green olives on a pizza, you are missing out. Only downside, which really doesnât bother me, is price. It's usually about 20 or so dollars for the largest pizza, and they don't offer coupons that I'm aware of. Honestly though, price really isn't a problem for me because the pizza is so worth it! KEEP ON MAKING WONDERFUL PIZZAS FORTELS! I would give you 10 stars if I could!
