Beers of the Moment

Summit Great Northern Porter
St. Paul, Minnesota
Initially named for the London market workers who made this brew popular, we named our Porter with recognition to the majestic railway crossing from St. Paul to Seattle. Roasted malts offer up notes of coffee leading to a slightly sweet, chocolatey finish. All aboard!
$5.00

Sierra Nevada Weizenbock
Chico, California
Weizenbocks are the larger, bulkier brother of the traditional Bavarian hefeweizen, a cloudy, unfiltered wheat ale. Our Weizenbock is tawny brown and piled with the rich fruity and spicy
flavors standard for this style. It features notes of banana bread, caramel, and clove spice from the use of a completely authentic German yeast..
$6.00

Kona Pipeline Porter
Kailua Kona, HI
Smooth and dark with a distinctly roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its varied blends of top-quality malted barley. This beer is brewed with 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, offering a unique roasted aroma and flavor. A vast blend of hops rounds out this palate-pleasing brew.
$5.00

Samuel Adams Winter Lager
Boston, Massachusetts
Rich and bold, with just a bit of holiday spice, Samuel Adams Winter Lager is a beautiful way to spend the cold nights that come with this season.
 $5.00

Schlafly ESB (Extra Special Bitter)
St. Louis, Missouri

Although it has the word “bitter” in its name, the real key to this style is having the perfect balance.  A distinct combination of malts and hops comes together to make this toasty, fruity flavor.  Our ESB is dry hopped with a US grown hop varietal called Williamette, which has a well-developed spicy, lemon flavor.
$5.00

Summit Pilsener
St. Paul, MN
Authentic Saaz hops from all the way in the Czech Republic give our Pilsener the perfect amount of spicy floral aroma. With a distinctly crisp, refreshing malt backbone and lightly spiced hops, it’s the taste of the true Bohemian life.
$5.00

Anderson Valley Winter Solstice
Boonville, CA
From the initial swig of Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale , your senses will be astounded with a vision of a glowing fire, warming the hearth and home, as snowflakes silently drift and blanket the trees outside. Luscious, creamy, smooth, and warming, this medium bodied ale is brewed with Caramel and crystal malts to give a small hint of sweetness, then paired with our special blend of holiday spice.
$6.00

Tallgrass Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat Oatmeal Cream Stout
Manhattan, KS

Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat starts with Tallgrass’ best selling beer, Buffalo Sweat. This oatmeal cream stout is then given the flavor of whole Ugandan vanilla beans. This enhances the beer's natural dark-roasted flavors of espresso, chocolate, and creamy sweetness. "Liquid chocolate chip espresso cookies" is how one could easily describe its unique flavor.
$6.00

Beers of the Moment

 
Founders Breakfast Stout
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Brewed with loads of flaked oats, bitter and sweetened foreign chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee. Breakfast Stout possesses an extreme refreshingly roasted coffee nose topped with a cinnamon-colored foamy head that appears to never diminish and causes you to wish breakfast could continue forever.
$7.00

Paulaner Oktoberfest
Munich, Germany

This particular beer is definitely an institution, very smooth and soft with a distinctly nutlike light roast edge on the malt. The accent is unquestionably on malt sweetness, although the beer is certainly exceptionally well balanced. There’s just the barest touch of hop flavor as the beer crosses your tongue, and there's an absolute dryness to the finish with just a bit of lighter pepperiness to the hops.
$6.00 1/2 Liter

Samuel Adams Octoberfest
Boston, Massachusetts

Octoberfest features a deep, rich golden amber hue that is indicative of the season. Octoberfest is definitely a malt lover’s fantasy, skillfully mixing together four roasts of barley to produce a delectable harmony of sweet flavors like caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from becoming excessively sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by the German Noble hops.
$5.00

Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. KU’DAMM– Berliner Weiss
St. Louis, Missouri

Drink it ‘straight’ to enjoy the mild tartness…Or repeat this phrase: “Ich bin ein Berliner” and put in a bit of elderflower, raspberry, or black currant syrup.
$6.00

Delirium Tremens - Belgian Blond Ale
Melle, Belgium

This pours a golden, amber color with a fizzy head.  The fragrance is filled with yeast, citrus, and banana. The taste is rather sweet and offers a sleek, elaborate flavor that's full-bodied and delectable. This beer is 8.5% ABV.
$8.00

Southern Tier Pumpking
Lakewood, New York

This ale retains tastes of cinnamon, and nutmeg with a nose of pumpkin, vanilla, and roasted pecans. This pumpkin ale might rival the perfect Thanksgiving Day dessert.
$6.00

Learn more about our pizzas and how they're cooked!

The blaze of the oven leaves a signature mark on most pizzas — a charred bubble in the crust. This isn't an indication of a burnt pizza (we would never serve one that was not perfect!) It occurs when a bubble rises out of the crust, gets nearer to the heat and flames, and blackens. Most customers find the charred bubbles to be delectable — and cool to pop!

You might wonder how the cooks and other food preparers don't suffer working alongside an unbarred 800° wood burning pizza oven. That is because the oven is so extremely well covered, the warmth remains within.

Oven Is Everything At Peel Pizza!

We cook our masterpieces within a Mugnaini wood burning pizza oven, for traditional Old World Italian baking. The oven can get as sweltering as 900° sometimes, even though we try keeping it at a roaring 800° to get the best feasible results. We utilize genuine hardwood logs to feature an intense woody taste in our foods.

Taming this wood burning pizza oven took plenty of training and polishing our techniques, because it requires just ninety seconds to bake the ideal pizza…and just a couple of additional moments to burn it! Pizzas don't just pop in the oven, bake and end up done.


The blaze is found on one side of the oven, and your meals are on the other side. Every pizza must be revolved during its quick time in the intensive heat to make certain that even doneness is achieved. At first, just before we learned the skill of the wood burning pizza oven, before the delicate timing became second nature, numerous pizzas were blackened and thrown away!

Pizza Isn't Just A Meal To Us, It's An Art Form!

You might be wondering what you can expect at Peel Pizza. Well, you can expect an attractive full-service informal eating experience within our dining area as well as outdoors on our terrace. Our foods are prepared fresh and served up promptly to permit customers to savor them at their peak of flavor, as they emerge from our wood burning pizza oven. 

Many people all over the Edwardsville area ask the reason we don't do carry-out or even delivery, and it is simply because our wood fired pizzas simply don't travel very well. They might taste all right after having a 20-minute journey in a cardboard box, but there's a certain difference in quality. We would like everybody that consumes our pizza to savor the complete flavorand texture in the manner it actually was meant!

Delicious, Prepared from Fresh Ingredients Gourmet Pizza - for local Missouri and Illinois diners.

A certain advantage of dining in an independent chef owned establishment is that we, the gourmand cooks, make the decisions, instead of stock investors or a business director.

We decide on where the ingredients are taken from, how your food is cooked, and exactly when a meal is suitable for our customers. We're entirely focused on making our dinners an exquisite experience for our visitors.

We prepare our pizza pie dough with natural ingredients every day. We utilize our own exclusive flour, very little oil and salt, to create our special airy and hearty crust. It's not a mix, not a formula, but our own recipe we've formulated and perfected.
