- Living St. Louis producer Patrick Murphy finds out what makes a pizza St. Louis style. A type of pizza largely unique to the area, St. Louis style pizza is defined by a thin crust, sauce and topping that go right to the edge, and of course provel cheese-a blend of provolone, Swiss and American. He visit Dogtown Pizza and Imos to find out what St. Louis style pizza means to the city.
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 do the same thing when I visit family in St. Louis. Been well over 30 years since I lived there ~

love this pizza!
Imo's Pizza rocks!!! U can eat an Imo's Pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one day. There isn't another pizza like it anywhere.
Yes I remeber those days, before I moved out of St. Louis
St, Louis style ROCKS buddy!!!
The toasted ravioli is worth a try...
Welcome to the lou
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!
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.
Well, if I visit the us one day, I'll do my best to visit St. Louis! I love the contemporary neapolitan pizza but I wanna try this one!
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 ! ;-)
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.
I love their eggstravaganda pizza!! It is a breakfast pizza and is out of this world!!
I'm a pizza maker and I'd prefer this
Imo sells provel cheese and it is AWESOME on a salad.
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 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.
They need to have Imos nation wide miss Imos
No, its a st louis thing.
They dont deserve it
Love IMOs pizza
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
anyone go to waldos pizza in kc?
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 like this guy he's alright
Amen Boulden
Imos Pizza is the best
Or Cecils
Go enjoy your dream vacation at Lake of The Ozarks . Buddy.
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)
Imo's, Nomnomnomnom.
One dislike..must be from newyork!
They won't, Inbev see the fundamentals for Busch so they won't risk reputation and sales moving it to another city.
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?!................
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 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).
Farrotto's is way better.
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................................
They left out the party about how it tastes terrible.
But at least it's "tidy".
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.
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
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?
Imos sucks
The horror, the horror
I loved living in St. Louis and will always say, St. Louis style pizza is just gross. LoL
IMO'S PIZZA SUCKS!!!
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.
Don"t do it!!! Go to Dallas or some other city that is not dead...Or go to a city with night life.
