Imo's Pizza

Imo’s Pizza is a classic St. Louis spot, and we really enjoyed the food during our visit. The pizza was flavorful and satisfying, especially if you’re curious to try the city’s well-known thin crust and Provel cheese style. The place was easy to access, and the free parking was a big plus, making the stop stress-free. One thing to note is that the flavor is very specific to St. Louis, so it may feel different if you’re used to traditional mozzarella-style pizza. Tip: If it’s your first time, try a smaller size or a combo pizza to get a good introduction to their style.

We had to visit the original IMO's Pizza while visiting STL. IMO's is a St. Louis staple the originator of the Stl style pizza. Made with thin cracker crust, provel cheese and a sauce that is a bit sweeter than most, it's definitly different. I ordered small cheese and a ordered of the toasted ravioli. The ravioli was hot and fresh with a tangy marinara sauce. So was the pizza. I love getting my food super hot! Amazing amazing customer service We had an issue with a homeless man that entered the restaurant and was bothering patrons asking for money. Management stepped in and took care of it very well also took care of the customers that was in the restaurant. However, you simply can't visit St. Louis and not stop at the original Imo's! 100% recommend!

This is the best Imos we have in STL. We cannot let it go to crap. The food came out so fresh and tasty like it always does but MAN, it was disgusting in there. There was literally food and napkins on the floor by the pizza table. I get being busy but the girl in the white, maybe maliah could not stay off her phone. She could have cleaned SOMETHING. (I heard her name because the lady from the back said something about her phone) someone asked her to wipe a table and she walked back on her phone. I mean absolutely ridiculous. Someone was out cleaning the parking lot, please keep the inside clean. I was fighting for my foods life with all those flies and gnats. Food still hit though.

This may be the original IMOS. The first I was ever at. Pizza is iconic. The toasted ravioli are as good as any other restaurant.

Being from lake of the Ozarks where there used to be an Imos, this pizza is always a #1 must have when visiting St.Louis. Always delicious and very kind employees!

The food was great. This was recommended to us by someone at the museum when I asked why they had toasted Ravioli magnets. The food was great we got ravioli and pizza. The service was quick and the staff nice. The restaurant was clean.

Food was good once it came out. Ordered the special box deal for dine in and it took 49 minutes to come out. Had to bus our own table to be able to sit down also. Food had good flavor but just took forever to come out on a Sunday night when it wasn’t busy.

There are so many great, classic STL food items on the menu. Service was great. My only complaint is that the toasted ravioli and proven bites don't come in smaller sizes. Thus, I was forced to be a true glutton. I ate a pizza, an order of toasted ravs, and an order of Provel bites in one sitting. I felt like a god afterwards.

As a native of Stl. When I come home I need an imos pizza. While the pizza is always the best in the city the service is terrible at the register. I have my order twice and the cashier ignored me and talked socially to someone else. I asked about an up charge and could not be told about until after it was rang in. I came to this location twice in 3 days and same service from the same person. The people bring the food out have been very pleasant but the cashier may need to look for a non customer facing position since she leans toward ignoring customers. I still love IMO's

Always a treat at this location! We visit this location after the zoo, a visit to the science center, or history and art museums.

I'm glad we tried this local STL style pizza. We enjoyed the cheese pizza and an order of toasted ravioli. They delivered to our downtown hotel, so that was super easy. I wouldn't say this was the best pizza I've ever had, but it wasn't bad. It was fun to sample this STL tradition.

It was my first time in St Louis and a local told me that Imo's is her favorite pizza spot. We tried the toasted ravioli and I have to say, how can anyone fail with this one? Delicious! The pizza we got was delicious too. Loved the crispy cheesy crust actually!

You can never go wrong with the classic Imos pizza. This location is a staple and has the best quality for me. They have an open parking lot and pickup window. Staff is friendly and food is fresh and made to order. They have specials and discounts available. Recommended.

My pizza stop after a day at the zoo and museums: Deluxe Pizza and a side order of Toasted Ravioli. Always.

Bought a salad and they didn't put the egg in. Refused to issue a future credit. Told me I had to drive all the way back to get another one but for nothing in return.

I have to pay for extra topping just to get a decent amount of toppings. Might as well order cheese pizzas only from here.

Came here after the zoo. It was about 1:15 and this place was super busy. Found a table and sent the kidlet tonsit there to secure it. Staff at the ordering counter was super nice and helpful since my little Californian child doesn't like the provel cheese and didn't want Parmesan on their toasted ravioli. The staff was super patient with my substitution. We both got the $10.50 lunch special with toasted ravioli and side salads and a drink. Ravioli came out fast and were hot. Salads came out next. While we were eating a lot of people left and the staff were wiping down tables. Sadly a lot of patrons left all their garbage on the table for the staff to clean up. Outside they had this cake so we had to do a photo op.

IMOs is IMOs and it's a family favorite I have always loved it even when the old Deaconess hospital was across the street and that's been ages ago. It still does not disappoint. Thin crispy crust delicious topping and a cool crisp salad.

The pizza was bussin, my wings were made fresh and sauces to perfection, they work their tails off, the bathrooms were clean like mr cleans head, the sign said rizzas on it they have real rizz.

Came for the toast ravioli as it was highly recommended. It was good and came out faster than expected. Many different options. Right off the highway and not too far from the Zoo. Noticed some sketchy individuals around the building. So be on guard. Looks like it could turn up when it gets dark.

I've ordered multiple times from this store online just to get to the store multiple times and for them not to even have started working on it, this store is a joke.

Imos is a StL staple. It's a chain, so there are a few locations. If you e never had it, the cheese and sauce are unlike anything I've ever had. It's not that I don't like it, it's just not what I'm used to. The crust and toppings are always good. It's a thin crust pizza. The other big deal here, and my personal favorite, is the toasted ravioli. It's a delightfully cheesy, meat-filled, crispy crunchy ravioli with an awesome dipping sauce. This location is counter service, so you order and seat yourself if dining in. They call your number when your food is ready, and you eat in or take it to go. Nothing fancy or high faluting. If you want to try a legendary St Louis pizza and appetizer, stop in to Imos, give it a shot, and let Yelp know what you think! It's unique to say the least

First time experiencing STL pizza and was pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed it more than I expected and the toppings were quality and delicious, the sides were decent as well.

Wanted to try St. Louis style pizza so why not order from local pizza chain Imo's. Put in our order online and drove to pick it up. Order was ready when they said it would be and I went inside to pick it up. Drove about 10 minutes to get it home. Caesar salad was large and fresh and crisp and very good. Pizza we ordered was all meat and was perhaps a little undercooked for my liking. I wasn't a huge fan of the Proval cheese but I'm sure it's an acquired taste. I grew up in Cincinnati and appreciate local specialties and I realize not everyone likes skyline chili there. Perhaps if we had eaten it at the restaurant or got different toppings the crust would have been crisper like I expected. Overall not a bad pizza, as toppings were large and plentiful. real bacon strips instead of pieces.

Let me start by saying I am a St. Louis Native that has been gone for over 15 years and was CRAVING this ICONIC, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS FOOD. I know for sure that this location is the best location for everything that's presented on the menu. My mom and I would always get us an xlrg hamburger and jalapeño. Since we had two new editions with us the order was a bit different. My little sister and my partner was our new company. Let's get in to the location... DIRTY for about 45 min after our arrival. There were about 3 tables occupied and the rest of the tables were gross. Food and grease on each table and there was spilled soda and food all over the floor through out the restaurant. My little sister eats from this location but she doesn't sit inside and I understand why. I seen a wet towel on a table that smelled of bleach so I just took it upon myself to clean the table we chose to sit at and placed it back on the filthy table I picked it up from. The girl behind the register watched me while I did it. As my family are wiping down the table with napkins to dry it a young man started wiping down the tables in the front part of the restaurant but left the rest of the tables with mess. It took 30 min for our mozzarella sticks to come out and then 45-50 min for our pizza to come up. My mom had to ask what was going to in the back. But at least the staff allowed us to change the channel from the hockey game to the basketball game. That's was a perk. Finally the pizza came HOT and not ready to eat because once you bit into it you would burn ya mouth. 10 seconds of blowing to cool it down is all I needed tho. And IT WAS SO GOOD. Tasted how I remembered it. The mozzarella sticks were great too. No other thin crust pizza comes close to imos. Had enough to eat for breakfast the next day. Yes...growing up I would eat Imos pizza for breakfast.

Great service, quick and timely with good food. Great toasted ravioli, good ambiance and vibe, overall a good experience.

We got the "Great Tastes of St. Louis Box" so we could try a variety of the unique items while we were in town. Although the toasted ravioli, Provel bites, and cinnimos were just ok, the pizza was amazing. Crispy crust and great flavor!

First time visiting St. Louis and was told Imo's was the place to go to try the unique brand of local pizza. Didn't take too long to order around lunch time on a Friday. I went for their special which is about $10 for a 1 topping personal pie, side dish, and fountain drink. I can tell everything is made fresh as there was a considerable wait time for my food to come out after ordering. As for the pizza, it was about what I expected. On the positive side, I thought the provel cheese was really tasty and could be a fantastic addition in the right dish. Otherwise, it reminded me of a subpar dominos thin crust. The tomato sauce was very ketchupy, and the base was crunchy enough to almost remind me of a graham cracker. I do like that they have a wide array of side dishes, their cheesy garlic bread was pretty good. The lunch special is also plenty big enough to feed two people, so it's a super affordable option. Worth giving them a try if you're visiting St. Louis, but I don't see myself coming back in future visits, and I wouldn't imagine making it an even semi regular spot if I lived here.

Parking is pretty limited, there's a good amount of seating inside, and the wait time for the pizza can be 10-15 minutes. Came here for the toasted ravioli and a "St.Louis" style pizza (thin crispy crust). I liked the toasted ravioli but the pizza...not so much. I guess I might be used to the puffy and more saucy type of pizzas. It did come out fresh for sure, but I was expecting more. Staff was nice but the ones that brought out the pizza didn't seem too friendly. They just dropped off the pizza and didn't say anything. Price wise was a little fair. If you're looking for more pizza for your purchase and more filling, this might not be the best place to go for you. But it was a good experience.

Accidentally clicked on no sauce on my pizza for my online order and they acted like that's normal "a lot of people order no sauce" I worked at a pizza shop for 5 years.. "a lot" of people do not order pizzas without the PIZZA sauce... took them over an hour to deliver my cracker with cheese and what would you know... cold. Called them and let me tell you, you would have thought the lady on the phone is the one who paid 60$ for a cold cracker with cheese and a salad, most ghetto and rude attitude ever. 10 years ago I wouldn't have been able to finish my first sentence before they would say "well bring a new one right out to you" which I wasn't even asking for. Just telling them next time to call the customer if they get an online order that looks weird. Like any NORMAL pizza shop... Nope I got a "that's not my problem you can speak to a manager".. no thanks I'll just never order from there again.

Food was mid at best. Had to ask multiple times for plates. Ambience had a nice old style feel. On the upside my GF and I both lost weight from puking ( her ) and pooping like a buffalo ( me and her ).

The pizza I chose was really good but I was absolutely starving. It was slightly sweet which is the only thing that kind of turned me off. I had to wait about 20 min for a personal pizza so I would highly suggest ordering ahead of time even though it was about 1:30-2 pm ish. The place is very popular and I hope to try it again soon for something a bit more savory. They also gave me a free drink for the long wait which was kind!

You either love Imo's or you hate it- no in between. I LOVE IT. I love the thin crispy crust I love the provel Service is pretty great too

When in St. Louis different websites recommend to eat authentic and typical foods the city is known for. St. Louis style pizza is one of them, and some mention IMO's to be the to go to place. IMO's is not just one restaurant but a chain of them all over the place. I happened to come across this one on my way back to my hotel in a traffic jam. I noticed the tall column with a pizza man on top with IMO's in large letters. I took it as a sign and a good reason to escape traffic. I don't know what to get so I asked for some input. I decided to go for the 10" meat pizza. Two things I wanted to experience: the cracker thin crust and the prov cheese. After a little wait--it was busy that day--I received my box inclusive a job offer. Well it was more a flyer that they are looking to hire. Back at the hotel I settled in and prepared myself for the STL experience. The crust is thin and crunch, with some semi soggy parts and I liked it, it made the topping, which was all meat look more bigger (is that correct grammatically?). The prove cheese has a distinctive taste, it actually tastes like a mix of cheeses, and it wasn't bad, just different. My first experience was alright, I wouldn't get the meat pizza again though. I would go with a lighter version less meat and some veggies instead. To give it another try, but two stars is all what I'm willing to give right now.

Got my order wrong for takeout. Ordered baked lasagna and received something that's not even on their menu. I should've checked before I left. Oh well, can't guarantee 100% accuracy when staff don't care about doing their job right.

Not my cup of tea. Came here while visiting St. Louis. I didn't enjoy the pizza. The service was good. The restaurant was not the cleanest.

I'm here working at Barnes Jewish Hospital originally from Texas. Lots of the staff recommended I try this place. I wasted close to $30 including tip, it was horrible. I've tasted better pizza from the dollar store, Celestes or Tony's. The pizza was dry burnt, hard and crusty, The salad was wealted and rotten, The wings were so small I thought they came from a Cornish hen. The soda and the sauce on the wings were the best part of it.. #NeverAgain

Interesting pizza with unique cheese. Enjoyed the square pieces, thin crust and liquid type cheese--not from STL so glad I tried it whilst in town.

I really wanted to give a good review because we were coming from Texas and really looking forward to St. Louis Style Pizza but unfortunately our experience was lacking. We ordered online for pick up and had a 45 min wait. If you are not familiar with this area, the IMO is on this triangle corner and difficult to navigate into the tiny parking lot and out of the parking lot. We arrive within a minute from the expected pick up time, drove 4 min back to our hotel. By then our pizza was cold and was stuck to the box. The toasted ravioli was good, but again, it was cold. We got the square pizza with the toasted ravioli along the side of the box. We'll have to try IMO's again, maybe a different location and actually do sit down to have a better experience out of the oven.

Traveling through St. Louis and had to try some local favorites, apparently St. Louis style pizza and Toasted Ravioli are a thing. Order at the counter, have a seat and wait for your order. The ravioli was delivered in less than 5 minutes, piping hot, and crunchy. Filled with meat and with meaty marinara on the side, I added red pepper to the sauce cause I like it spicy. The sauce had visible onions and ground beef, it was on the sweet side but delicious. The pizza, the Deluxe, was crispy thin crust, lots of toppings, but it lacked seasoning at all. I would only suggest some salt in the pizza sauce. So IMO's is a fast food joint with good quality, friendly service, clean, and the toppings taste good. I would definitely recommend IMO's for a quick pizza and ravioli, but I would like to try a restaurant on the top 10 list next time.

Decent pickup pizza. Nothing else good was open which kind of surprised me for a Friday night. Maybe next time I'll plan better.

This is a St. Louis pizza institution. I ordered a pepperoni and olive pizza online for carry out. Pizza was ready in about 25 minutes. The crust was nice, crispy and thin. The sauce was tangy and delicious and there was a generous amount of toppings on the pizza. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Also only 15 bucks for a large. It's a must try when In St. Louis. PS: Order the crust well done for that extra crisp!

First time trying Imo's and my family was all pretty well pleased. The pizza here is definitely different than I'm used to but it's good. Cracker type crust and the sauce has a nice tang to it. We got the toasted ravioli too since it's a St. Louis staple and they were ok. Nothing great. I'd recommend this place to first timers or anyone looking for St. Louis style pizza.

Best thin crust in the country! The proven cheese makes it so good yum! Bacon and sausage is my go to when I'm in St. Louis!!

Not my favorite but my husband loves it. It's all about personal taste. No table service. Lightning could be better but everyone has their opinions.

Saddest pizza you will ever eat. Tastes like it was made days ago with Kraft singles and reheated. The bbq sauce on the wings is awful. The garlic bread is like something I'd make in my microwave after 12 beers at 3AM. How do you manage to mess up garlic bread this badly?

On our last day in St Louis, we decided to stop by Imo's. We were kind of skeptical of it, but it was a hidden gem. We got some fried ravioli, and everyone loved it. It was a very creative idea, and it is one of the places most popular dishes. We got a extra large half and half pizza (one side cheese the other pepperoni). Safe to say everyone loved it and we finished the entire pizza. Place was kind of dirty and run down, but it was expected. Service was amazing and everyone was really nice and polite. Good place to dine in, recommended for families who are looking for a good pizza place in the suburbs.

The Imo's across from Forest Park provides a good amount of seating with TVs to watch. The crust is thin; pizza is decent, but nothing special. This place was loud; but not unruly. Overall... mid-range pizza at a mid-range price.

First time at Imo's! My buddy suggested this one and he wasn't wrong to do so! The raviolis were good, the pizza with its special cheese was different and unique and tasty honestly. Service friendly and people were smiling a lot! Family restaurants so nice family vibes, calm music playing I remember and the wait wasn't long at all!

First time trying IMO's Pizza. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza, garlic cheese bread, and ranch. Everything was hot and fresh. Waited a few minutes at the pickup window and staff looked to be having a great time inside.

It's pizza, not particularly good pizza, but not bad either. It did the trick for my family. Service was good. It is a paper plates, get your own drinks and napkins kind of place.

Delicious! We are excited for our next trip to STL so we can enjoy a pie from Imo's again!

I haven't been to Imo's in a while, but decided tonight to order pizza. It's just around the corner and up l the block, so it is a quick trip there. I ordered a Large Deluxe over the phone, and was told 15-20 mins it would be ready. The time estimate was fairly accurate in that when I arrived my pizza was ready. Also the lady do the phone with the baby voice did an excellent job in processing my order. She needs a raise.. To my dismay however I felt like I paid for a LARGE cheese and vegi pizza as the meat portions were scarce. There was hardly any sausage on this pizza, and in lots of spot there simply wasn't sausage there. We ate it, but some people here complained, and were saying: "Wasn't this pizza suppose to have meat on it?.. We got cheated!!!!!!" This is a far cry from what I have seen them make in the past, and I feel like we got cheated out of almost 26 dollars. Imo's need to act as if they are in the pizza making business like they people up the street that name starts with the letter "D". I get that things cost everyone more now, but please stop cutting corners on product to make more profit.

When searching for the local food of St Louis, it's hard to miss the local variation of pizza, specifically at one of the many Imo's locations. We ordered ahead for 2 pies and got there right around the lunch rush. I went up to the counter and requested to add some toasted ravioli. While the lady at the counter was super friendly, it took way longer than I would have liked to actually get my food. I did see that they kept all my food in a heater, and I did see them put the ravioli in as I was waiting. But because of the rush, I had to wait an extended time after that to actually get my food, and while I completely understand that it was busy, it would have been nice for someone to take a quick pause to just pass me my food as I had already paid. Now on to the food itself. If you've never had St Louis style, it's definitely unique. The use of Provel cheese, which I've learned is a processed mix of cheddar, Swiss and provolone, has a slight tangy flavor to it. On top of the crust being pretty much a glorified cracker, it felt like every bite I took was a cracker with cheese spread not too dissimilar to the cracker and yellow cheese spread you got in your lunch box as a kid. While it's not totally a bad thing, and while I fully understood this experience was going to be different, if I didn't do any research, was in town to visit and wanted some good pizza and got Imo's, I think I would have been put off immediately. The Deluxe was slightly better because the addition of traditional pizza toppings, but it just didn't vibe with me as a whole. With that said, I can see why it's popular with the locals. It's something that's uniquely their's and that's a good thing I think.

Christ on a bicycle this is bad pizza. Looked and tasted like they used velveeta cheese on it. Toasted ravioli was pretty good. Hawaiian pizza was ok, Deluxe was ok too. But that cheese pizza was beyond awful, 10/10 do not recommend.

Ignore all of the bad reviews; this place was BOMB! We are here after our zoo visit, and wow! The pizza was on point & the toasted ravioli hit the spot. Yum! 10/10 Will EAT AGAIN & Highly Recommend!

I was a bit scared because of some harsh reviews but we really wanted to try this St. Louis tradition. I ordered by phone to pickup. Went in to pickup in twenty minutes. Paid and it was ready. All service was pleasant. We ordered a large veggie pizza. It was loaded with veggies and cooked to perfection. We all found it to be very delicious. Loved the crispy thin crust with the cheese and veggies., Absolutely delicious and so glad we tried it. Great job! I will get it again if in St. Louis!
