I Don't Think We're In New York Anymore

Talliano's sucks, with or without crust.

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

I first had St. Louis pizza about 18 years ago on a random trip to KC. My friend and I wanted pizza but not from a chain since we were someplace new. We went with the first local pizza place we found. It wasn't Imo's, but a place called Leo's. We were instant converts! We nearly fought over the middle pieces. I still take random trips to KC and absolutely have to get a pizza with provel. Many times I spent $100 or more so I could bring some back for the next few days and to share with close friends......I never invited the friends over. :)

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

Having been born and raised in St. Louis our favorite whenever we come back is pizza from Ponticello's Italian Restaraunt in Spanish Lake, north St. Louis county. It also uses Provel cheese, which we bring back also bought from Dierburg's or Schnucks, sliced thin with paper in between each slice. Ponticello's makes a really good, thin crust pizza and has wonderful Italian sausage and the world's best onion rings! There used to be at least 5 Ponticello's but now only 1. It's family run and as soon as it opens there's a line to get in.

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

My family (wife & 2 kids) and I had the misfortune of stopping here in 1986 while driving to KC from NYC. We thought it was the worst excuse for Pizza ever imagined. We all agreed it was like making Pizza with Matzoh and Cheeze Whiz. UHG!!!!!! The sad part is it continues to win Best of St Louis year after year. After having an Italian dinner in the area known as the Hill I did understand why Imos is a St. Louis staple.

Imo's Pizza in St. Louis

It is glue on cardboard. I have intensely disliked this pizza since the first time I tried it back in '91. You can actually get good NY style pizza in St Louis. It's not on every street corner, but it's there. - Racanelli's, Vito's, Pizza-A-Go-Go to name a couple.

Conventional pizza cheese is called mozzarella, but in actuality it's a type of whey cheese. Provel is a derivation of Elmer's Glue-All.
