I moved from St. Louis to Southern California 40 years ago. Every time I visit relatives in my hometown, I insist on getting Imo's Pizza and Toasted Ravioli. It wouldn't be home without it.
I miss Imos pizza and toasted ravioli! I order both every visit home and YES it taste even better the next day for breakfast ! Imos, Panteras and Talayna’s were my top 3 spots growing up in STL
If your in St. Louis and you want to try a real St, Louis style pizza try one of these places. Meglio's featuring the origianl Luigi's Pizza, Serra's Pizzeria Roberto's, Farotto's, Faraci's, Monte Bello Pizzeria, Cusanelli's, Bill Gianino's, Failoni's, Lou Boccardi's, Joe Boccardi's
Moved to St. Louis a few years ago, since left again. But I remember trying my first Provel Pizza from Imos I belive. At first, I really didn't care for it. But over time it grew on me. Now, living in TN, I order IMOs from Goldbelly atleast once or twice a year.I get a provel craving lol. My favorite while I was in St. :pios was Stefaninas or Stefs Pizza. Faraci was also good.
Home of Chuck Berry, the worlds tallest monument, worlds largest brewery, 2nd largest public park in the USA, and the oldest outdoor theater west of the Mississippi! Oh yea, home the Cardinals for over 100 years, and we have the BEST pizza in America!
RE Provel Cheese : I have lived in Michigan for 30 years but grew up in the STL metro area (Belleville) and can't get Provel here. At 1:32 - 1:45 in this video, Rick Schaper from Dogtown Pizza says (and I'm paraphrasing) “...provolone is a blend, it’s got provolone, a little bit of swiss, a little bit of american….” Yet, earlier in the vid, at 1:15, a close-up shot of a block of Hoffman’s Provel states on the label : pasteurized process cheddar, swiss and provolone cheese. American Cheese is not listed as an ingredient ( !! ) and I'm thinking the cheddar is probably white cheddar. Further research (on the internet) suggests that a tiny amount of liquid smoke is also included. Recipes for this cheese vary widely, so I gave up trying to find the definitive, correct formulation, such that I could make it myself. My wife was in STL over the hoidays and brought back a rare treasure for me : an entire block of REAL Provel cheese !! She got it at Schnuck's in FVH. So, I'm making REAL, thin-crust, STL pizza this coming weekend ! ;-)
Provel is a mixture of Provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar with a little "smokiness" and is NOT made with American cheese. The FDA considers provel a processed cheese just like American Cheese. (which in case anyone was curious, means it is in fact a cheese) For heavens' sake, you can't say that you would never eat Provel and claim its not cheese if you have ever had American Cheese (which I'm sure that you have and if you haven't, kudos to you)
Shiana Silkwood Thanks for posting this. Before I got here, I was reading on Wikipedia the cheese was Provolone, CHEDDAR and swiss - while the man in the video mentioned American cheese (which is actually a combination of mild cheddar and jack, I think? anyway.............) I wonder if he was just saying the wrong thing to throw people off?
I love St. Louis style pizza BUT I'm not a big Imo's fan, I hate that when the subject of St. Louis style pizza comes up, most people think of this sorry fast food prefabbed crust version. Imo's also has lead people to believe that they are the originators of St.Louis style pizza. Not so, they have only been in business since 1964. Many others where serving St Louis style since the late 1940's and early 1950's
I can't imagine putting pepperoni on one of these things. Nothing more than sausage, onions and maybe some mushrooms. BTW I just ordered one from Frasher;'s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ. You can get it outside of StL.
I tried New York Pizza: Too much yeast. Tried Chi-Town's Pizza: Too much Dough Tried L.A.'s Pizza: Melted cheeze on pineapples just don't cut it. St. Louis IS the spot for great pizza( unless you go to Indianapolis)
By the way, If people don't "give a rat's ass" about St. Louis style pizza. Then tell me sunshine why is Pizza Hut snagging the style?!................
I live in Atlanta for 15 yrs. now. I've eaten pizzas from New York, Chicago, California, Italy, Spain, Mexico. I gotta say. GODDAMN I MISS IMO'S and Pantera's Pizza. I think I have to show these fools how to make a pizza. The only pizza I eat now is Papa Johns.
I really dont understand the point of your life. you log on youtube everyday, pumped up that you get to write another comeback to someone in St. Louis and tell them how bad there pizza and city is? Why did you ever watch this in the first place? Were sorry that St. Louis isnt as cool as New York, and we dont live as glamorous a life as you (surfing youtube to start trouble about pizza).
WATCH IT SUNSHINE, The Yanks are the best because they haven't met the Cards yet "The 2nd best in baseball". As many times they Pissed on the Mets, Don't think they won't bring the pain to Yankee Stadium. And I dare your Yankee fans to act up in Busch Stadium. Pretty much DARE them................................
You are pissed that I am right that the rest of the country could care less abot STL style pizza, because it is lame. If it was so great then the rest of the country would have heard of it or even might like it. But enjoy your dream vacation to The Lake of the Ozarks. Now that is a real classy place.
Wake up... Pizza Hut is not stealing anything.. Like I said go to Chicago or New York or any other city and ask them if they have ever heard of St. Louis style pizza. Get over yourself, it really is not that good.
Great baseball town. Zero night life. Go to Dallas or Chicago for the woman, it is not happening in St. Louis. Job market is horrible. If you want buy a house here expect to get reamed. The houses here are not worth the price. Every man over 35 will ask what high school went to, so they can judge you and put you in a social class. Some of the people in West County think they are in Hollywood, just because they paid a ton of money on a home that is not worth half of what they paid. Suckers.
You really should stop smoking the Dope. Go to Chicago or New York and ask them about St. Louis pizza and they will say"What the hell is that". And lets be honest, the rest of the country outside of St. Louis could give a rats ass about the cardboard Imo's St. Louis pizza.. By the way touch guy, if you want to see a real ballpark and not a minor league one, go to New York. Texas or Baltimore for a real ballpark and not a modern day cookie cutter like Busch. KC has a better park than St. Louis.

Awesome! Provel appears to be the secret😊
Being raised in St. Louis, I love Imo's pizza. Most people I bring to St.Louis don't like Provel cheese and loose it right there.
Imo sells provel cheese and it is AWESOME on a salad.
I'm a pizza maker and I'd prefer this

I love their eggstravaganda pizza!! It is a breakfast pizza and is out of this world!!
I was so captivated by that vid....guess I miss pizza..lol

is it worth moving to??
relocation at my company is on the table, but im scared to go.
I can't imagine putting pepperoni on one of these things. Nothing more than sausage, onions and maybe some mushrooms. BTW I just ordered one from Frasher;'s restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ. You can get it outside of StL.
They need to have Imos nation wide miss Imos
No, its a st louis thing.
They dont deserve it
Imos Pizza is the best
Or Cecils
Love IMOs pizza
I tried New York Pizza: Too much yeast. Tried Chi-Town's Pizza: Too much Dough
Tried L.A.'s Pizza: Melted cheeze on pineapples just don't cut it. St. Louis IS the spot for great pizza( unless you go to Indianapolis)
i like this guy he's alright
anyone go to waldos pizza in kc?
Go enjoy your dream vacation at Lake of The Ozarks . Buddy.
Amen Boulden
Imo's, Nomnomnomnom.
They won't, Inbev see the fundamentals for Busch so they won't risk reputation and sales moving it to another city.
One dislike..must be from newyork!
There isn't consistency of quality between pizza locations.
Facts ! Not all Imos are created equal as far as taste! There are only 3 that i patronize in the whole city
By the way, If people don't "give a rat's ass" about St. Louis style pizza. Then tell me sunshine why is Pizza Hut snagging the style?!................
I live in Atlanta for 15 yrs. now. I've eaten pizzas from New York, Chicago, California, Italy, Spain, Mexico. I gotta say. GODDAMN I MISS IMO'S and Pantera's Pizza. I think I have to show these fools how to make a pizza. The only pizza I eat now is Papa Johns.
Reading these comment's make me laugh... Love it or leave it is what I have to say...
I leave it. Provel ruins it.
Don't forget World's biggest Zoo.........
I really dont understand the point of your life. you log on youtube everyday, pumped up that you get to write another comeback to someone in St. Louis and tell them how bad there pizza and city is? Why did you ever watch this in the first place? Were sorry that St. Louis isnt as cool as New York, and we dont live as glamorous a life as you (surfing youtube to start trouble about pizza).
They left out the party about how it tastes terrible.
But at least it's "tidy".
Is there anything more horrific than Pizza from the Crotch of the Nation (as my dearly departed mother called the Midwest)
You came from the crotch of your mother....what's the big deal
WATCH IT SUNSHINE, The Yanks are the best because they haven't met the Cards yet "The 2nd best in baseball". As many times they Pissed on the Mets, Don't think they won't bring the pain to Yankee Stadium. And I dare your Yankee fans to act up in Busch Stadium.

Farrotto's is way better.
are you serious?!?!
cmon it cant be that bad, no night life?
is it dangerous??? are the women good looking? or does st louis suck?
I loved living in St. Louis and will always say, St. Louis style pizza is just gross. LoL
Imos sucks

Don"t do it!!! Go to Dallas or some other city that is not dead...Or go to a city with night life.
