In the heart of Arrow Rock during the Arrow Rock Heritage Festival in October 2023, I discovered a slice of culinary heaven that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. Catalpa, with its divine pizza offerings, granted my palate a sensation like no other. The flavors danced, the crust was perfection, and each bite painted a masterpiece of taste. It was a culinary journey of pure delight, a symphony of flavors that resonated in my very soul. And to cap off this extraordinary day, a rum Pina Colada at Catalpa was nothing short of perfect satisfaction. The tropical elixir, a sip of paradise, served as the ideal companion to the festival's vibrant atmosphere. I tip my hat to Catalpa for delivering an exceptional culinary experience that will forever linger in my memory. If you seek the pinnacle of pizza perfection and a cocktail to match, look no further. Cheers to a day of exquisite indulgence! #CatalpasDelights #CulinaryMasterpiece #ArrowRockHeritageFestival Arrow Rock Missouri CATALPA burgers pizzas cocktails excellent top authentic chef prepared cuisine, dishes ,excellent.

Have been coming for lunch lately and walking the dogs through town after. Love being able to sit on the boardwalk and enjoy the delicious food! You really can't go wrong with any choice, today we tried the garlic parmesan wings and Santa Fe chicken sandwich. Absolutely amazing! Can't wait until our next visit!

We decided to eat at Catalpa after attending a local event. Turns out, this is a great idea! We were fortunate that we went when we did because the restaurant filled up quickly. The service was excellent even though they were packed. I had the Santa Fe burger and the spicy pickles and onions for the side. My wife and son shared the three cheese pizza. The food took time coming, but I don't hold that against them. At times, it was standing room only. The burger came on a flat bread style bun. The meat filled the bread completely, and I truly enjoyed the jalapenos and the sauce. The pickles were crunchy and delicious with a mild heat. The pizza was the star of the show with, almost, cartoon like strings of cheese stretching from the slices. The flavors were amazing, and the little touch of honey came through while you ate. Crispy, chewy, creamy, sweet, there aren't enough adjectives to describe this pizza. It's a little pricy at 25 for the pizza, but it's absolutely worth it.

I am still on cloud nine after indulging in the most extraordinary meal I've had in quite some time. Catalpa combines an unparalleled intimate setting with the most superbly delectable dinner you will find in Arrow Rock, perhaps even in all of Missouri! Along with the cuisine reaching well beyond five stars, the hospitality and service are equally as exquisite. Seriously, I have never had a filet melt in my mouth like that, so fantastically tender and delicious. EVERYTHING was delicious -- the salads, the rolls, the sangria, the frozen custard -- my mouth is salivating once again! And I couldn't leave without purchasing a few bottles of their Small Batch House Vinaigrette -- spectacular flavor! On your next visit to Arrow Rock, it is imperative that you make a reservation at Catalpa for an incredibly euphoric dining experience. My compliments to the remarkably talented Chef Liz and her incomparable staff! I shall return!

I was not fortunate to hear about this place or try this place prior to COVID. Due to COVID making us get some cabin fever we have been branching out to visit new places. Boy am I stoked we tried here. The service was nice. The location is cute and the food is AMAZING. Yeah they are burgers made out of beef, turkey, chicken or fish. But they process a whole cow to make their burgers! Who does that?! And the buns are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Worth a drive to sit outside and enjoy nature. The one positive COVID has taught me. There is life outdoors and away from the big cities.

I’ve eaten here a few times and I’m never disappointed. The place was packed but the food still comes out quickly, the service and atmosphere is friendly; and the food is extraordinary. There is seating outdoors in the front, indoor seating, and a covered porch in the back for diners as well. Every pizza has a unique taste and every slice is packed with flavor.

I think most of the customers order pizza here, but they have sandwiches and salads, too. They have really interesting beverages. The decor is very unique, and definitely one of the highlights of the restaurant—that includes the restroom, too. Service is very polite and prompt.
