Our Pizza Story Since 1964

From a small neighborhood joint to St. Louis pizza legend, discover the passion and tradition that makes Imos Pizza special.

The Imos Legacy

What started as a dream in 1964 has grown into a St. Louis institution. When Ed and Margie Imo opened their first restaurant, they had no idea they were creating what would become the most beloved pizza in Missouri.

Our secret? We never compromised on quality. Every pizza is still made with the same dedication, using our signature ultra-thin crust, tangy sauce, and the famous Provel cheese that makes St. Louis-style pizza truly unique.

Today, we're proud to be a family-owned business that has served generations of pizza lovers, creating memories one slice at a time.
