Imo’s Pizza FAQs

Brand History & St. Louis-Style Pizza

Imo’s Pizza is a St. Louis-based pizza brand known as The Original St. Louis-Style Pizza™. Since 1964, Imo’s Pizza has been serving crispy thin-crust pizza topped edge-to-edge with the iconically creamy Provel® cheese, along with St. Louis favorites like Toasted Ravioli, famous Provel Bites and decadent Gooey Butter Cake.

St. Louis-style pizza is defined by four key components:

  • Crust: A crispy, thin crust
  • Provel® Cheese: A white cheese blend that melts to a gooey texture
  • Toppings: Edge-to-edge coverage of sauce and toppings
  • Cut: Iconic square-cut slices

The square slices make pizza easy to grab and share with a group, sometimes called a “party cut”. Of course, sharing your favorite squares is completely up to you. The square cut is a signature part of The Original St. Louis-Style Pizza™. The founder Ed Imo was also a tile layer so one could say it came from muscle memory.

Imo’s Pizza was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1964 by Ed and Margie Imo. What started as one neighborhood pizza shop grew into a St. Louis staple and the home of The Original St. Louis-Style Pizza™.

Ingredients & Menu Options

Provel® is a creamy cheese blend of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone that gives Imo’s pizza its gooey texture and rich flavor. Closely associated with St. Louis cuisine, Provel® pairs with a crispy, thin crust to make The Original St. Louis-Style Pizza™ unmistakably Imo’s.
