Imo's Pizza is a popular chain of pizza restaurants based in St. Louis, Missouri. Known for its distinctive St. Louis-style pizza, the chain has over 100 locations, primarily in and around the St. Louis area.
History[edit]
Ed and Margie Imo, the founders of Imo's Pizza, started their pizza business in 1964 in the Hill, an Italian-American neighborhood in St. Louis. The couple was inspired by the thin-crust pizzas popular in St. Louis, which contrasted with the thick, doughy pizzas common in other parts of the country. The first Imo's Pizza location was a small, carryout-only shop, but the business quickly expanded due to its popularity.
St. Louis-Style Pizza[edit]
Imo's Pizza is best known for its St. Louis-style pizza, which is characterized by a thin, cracker-like crust, a sweet and tangy sauce, and the use of Provel cheese, a processed cheese product that is a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone cheeses. This style of pizza is cut into squares or rectangles, rather than the traditional wedges.
Menu[edit]
In addition to its signature pizza, Imo's Pizza also offers a variety of other menu items, including pasta, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Some of the most popular items include toasted ravioli, a St. Louis specialty, and Provel cheese bites.
Community Involvement[edit]
Imo's Pizza is deeply involved in the St. Louis community. The company established the Imo's Pizza Charitable Foundation in 1985, which supports a variety of local charities and community organizations.
