OK… I have a policy that I do not post bad reviews here… unless…I get horrible service… OR…its a chain… I hate to hurt a local independent business that is trying its best simply based on my taste… but Imos is a chain… so all bets are off.
So I guess if you were raised with this style of pizza, maybe you can find some redeeming qualities. But my goodness, it’s so very bad. So very very bad… Covered in something called «Provel», which is so artificial tasting, it makes you gag. It’s like a cheese sauce… akin to Velveeta… liquidy, viscous goo. Tastes like yuck. But hey… probably should not blame Imos… this is a local thing… but melted American cheese on toast made at home in the microwave is better. Worst pizza ever IMHO.

This is THE worst Imos location. Customer service is horrible. Ms. Worthy is not worthy of being an owner of an establishment and her employees are just as nasty as she is. I can’t believe all these problems I have received from this location. Last time I order from here. But, I guess that’s what you get when people don’t value their jobs or the people they service.

Will not deliver to hotels… This «rule» seems ignorant to me??? I like to try different pizza from different towns I travel for work. When I make it back home I also like to say hey if you ever stop at «town» you should try this pizza Imos pizza will get nothing but bad remarks from me, and I haven’t even got to try the pizza A business who wants to turn down new clientele down just doesn’t seem like a place I even want to drive and waste my time for … Maybe that’s just me

Yummmmmmmmm Yummmmmmmm! This is a delayed review, but was memorable enough that it deserves some review time.
For somebody born and raised on the west coast, Provel alone was foreign to me, then I had to combine that with the knowledge that this was a cheese intended specifically for St. Louis style pizza. Mind. Blown.
I was on business here and some associates were ordering lunch and said «you’ve never had Imo’s?!» I said «what is an Imo?» that was pretty much the end of the conversation until the food arrived. They figured the combination of flavors would undoubtedly speak for themselves… they were right.
Crispy crust, crazy cheese… Pizza heaven.
*please note: this review is coming from someone who’s home states — genuinely consider green items such as spinach and arugula VALID and PLENTY in the toppings arena. Our overpriced, woodfire cooked personal pizzas, we consume happily with our green drinks in hand and gym clothes on* that said: imo’s was legitimately awesome. :)

Its unfortunate, but I’m done with Imo’s, at least the Watson location. They are 0 for 3 for accuracy under the new ownership. I pay for extra cheese, I get not-​even-​adequate-​cheese. The first time, I let it go. The second time, they forgot the whole special extras. I called and they made it right, but they were a bit smug about it. Hey, if they want us to pay more money for pizza better than the chain-​store competition, then they gotta get it right the first time. I’m done. Now I’ll jazz up a Sam’s Club frozen and love it.

I live in Chicago but have never gotten down with that deep dish stuff. I love my crust thin and crispy, and Imo’s is it! The sauce is thick and sweet and the cheese has a thickness to it which I love. I’ve made the Cooks Country version at home and now I’m kicking myself for not picking up some Provel while I was in STL. Pizza is very much a matter of personal preference, so some folks are going to hate on Imo’s, but I love it! The particular restaurant we went to was like eating in a bus terminal waiting room, but we weren’t there for the ambiance… that’s what drinks at the Four Seasons is for!

Imo’s is my only experience with St. Louis style pizza. As a New Yorker who lives in Chicago, I was happy to find Imo’s pizza was totally different than anything I’ve ever had. It’s quick and dirty in a good way. I loved the creaminess of the provel. It’s also far less filling than a regular pie. Try it once and keep an open mind.

So the pizza is different, but delicious. I’m not from St. Louis, but I can appreciate the St Louis style pizza for what it is. The provel cheese has a salty creaminess that I can only take in moderation because it just feels wrong even though it’s very tasty. There was no shortage of toppings on the variety of pizzas that we ordered. I would however STICK TO THE PIZZA. The salads were nothing but a huge plate of limp iceberg lettuce and tons of cheese. The boneless wings also left a lot to be desired, they we like the Tyson’s brand you buy from the frozen section of the grocery store. But the pizza, I’d definitely go for that again on a day that calories didn’t count! Also, don’t expect friendly or professional service, you won’t get it!

The pizza is terrible. i’m sorry STL, you may be proud of St Louis Style pizza, but melted cheese and toppings on a thin cracker is NOT PIZZA!!!
IMO’s is only redeemed due to the great appetizers like the must try raviolis, that’s worth being proud of STL!
If you want real pizza anything with a regular crust beats out the best cracker crust STL pizza.

For me– I just don’t like the pizza. The service is fine, the prices are reasonable… I just think the cheese and sauce taste disgusting. I am not from St. Louis and did not grow up eating provel cheese… when we moved here, everyone raved about this place. NASTY! It’s like a Velveeta monster. Could you eat a Velveeta pizza? If so– this is your place. If your like me, try Pi or some lesser known local places.

ITS NOT THE PIZZA; ITS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT UNION LOCATION… DONT GO HERE UNLESS you wanna be talked to like you are a stupid child!!! Went in one evening to order the special on the window and ordered from one of the male workers, which was nice. Then, the owner, a female with a NASTY, NASTY, NASTY NASTY, NASTY, demeanor and a condescending attitude that made me walk out without purchasing anything!!! She was collecting the money for my order and said, IS DAT ALL? real loud and very unprofessional! I tried to talk to her to point out how customers make a business run… or close and I was asked to leave or did she need to call the Police? They say she worked at a bank before her HUSBAND bought the Imos, and she was the rudest @#$%# there too!!! If u care about customer service where u spend your money, DONT GO HERE!!!

St. Louis style pizza, had no idea what that meant, thin crust, I can do that, more room for a cold beverage. However, St. Louis style is more about the cheese, or processed plastic white in color called Provel, which might mean (pro or for vel, meaning Velveeta) but Velveeta is much better.
I did like the style of a thin crust, however this crust is frozen first.
But the sauce although lightly coated is flavorful, the ingredients on top of the pizza i enjoyed. Actually the toppings were great MINUS the Provel, as I now know I am antivel.

Horribly disappointed.
Before I had come to STL, all I kept hearing was how great the pizza was.
I must say I was enormously underwhelmed.
It didn’t taste much different than Little Ceasers.

Garbage. I can’t believe people eat here. I guess if that’s what you grew up with, I can (kind of) understand.
Open your eyes and try something different, St. Louis sheeple. Provel does NOT count as «cheese» — provolone, cheddar and swiss were not meant to be mixed. There is a reason provel has not left St. Louis (discounting any locals who brought it with them to their new cities…)
The lack of a true pizza crust here is disappointing. Yes, I understand there are different types of pizza (e.g. NY-​style, Chicago-​style, St. Louis-​style), but this is a poor representation of any pizza. I’d rather have a $ 1 Totino’s pizza from Wally World.
As I always say, I won’t eat this junk unless it’s free.

Imo’s is the best pizza around!!! I have tried pizza in every city/​state/​country I have lived in and nothing even comes close. No where else in the country compares. Every time me or my family comes into town we stop by Imos and get a couple pizzas and put them on ice so that we have some at home. St. Louis style pizza is the best hands down. If you are in St. Louis you have to stop in and get a pizza.
I will admit that throughout the years there have been times that I have had some not so good pizza but those times have been very rare and usually at certain Imo’s during certain years.

Allow me to preface this with the fact I’m not super picky about my pizza and I love, love, love thin crust. Our hostess for our visit in St. Louis is not a native, so she had her own prejudices. I’m a firm believer in trying local specialities when it’s food I can identify, so I figured I’d give it a try.
I don’t see the big problem everyone has with it. The Provel didn’t taste any different to me than any other cheese on a pizza, frankly. They get major points for having sausage that didn’t have that offense to nature also called fennel in it. The crust was thin and crunchy, the cheese stayed where you put it, and the sausage didn’t taste like I’d just licked a tree. I only had one piece, but I give it a solid 3.5 stars.

My first year in graduate school, one of my professors told my class that he was throwing a pizza party for my entire section of the lecture course I was taking. Awesome, right?
…fast forward to the pizza party…
…the only available pizza was Imo’s and the only available drink was Mountain Dew. The professor in question no longer works at the university and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

I’m not a St Louis native, but I do love pizza. I was told by an STL native that this wouldn’t be what I was used to, and that diners often love or hate the STL style pie. Well… I could’ve done w/​o spending $ 15.99 on a small, paper-​thin pizza (the consistency of which was comparable to a microwaved Totino’s frozen pizza) & a rubbery cheese-​covered hoagie, masquerading as garlic cheese bread. Others in my hotel (& myself) weren’t impressed w/​the customer service. The taste of the pizza is interesting, but nothing i’ll be craving again. Not worth the money, considering the cost & the quality. Sorry St Louis! I do love Ted Drewes, Gus’ pretzels & Fitz’s rootbeer!

St. Louis does a lot of things right. Like donuts! Pizza, however, is not one of them. This stuff is a disgusting abomination that I’m sure is served on Hell’s Buffet.
«Honey, look, they have PIZZA! This won’t be so bad after all!»
«Oh, know… what’s that? Oh my goodness, it’s provel!»
«Ah, St. Louis style pizza! My God, why have thou forsaken me!»
There’s a reason provel cheese and St. Louis style pizza do not exist outside of the metro area, and that is because both are awful Frankensteinian creations. Maybe St. Louis just decided it needed its own type of pizza and the locals feel like they’re betraying the motherland by speaking truthfully, but the stuff is just not good. I’m not even sure I can call it pizza.

St. Louis style pizza… I thought it was pretty good. Not great, but pretty tasty… At least I think so with Imo’s.
I know it’s not something I’d eat all the time, but it was enjoyable enough.
