Provel cheese is awesome. STL style pizza dominates that ass.

Thin crust = master. If I want bread I'll go to a bakery.

We had some catered in at work today. Tastes like a saltine cracker with ragu and string cheese. Provel cheese, not mozzarella?

Last time I had Imo's was about 20 years ago. I was seriously wasted in downtown St. Louis and me and the group I was with sent out for pizza and beer at 3am. Delivery guy shows up with an Imo's Pizza and a six pack of warm Lemp Beer. Worst 4th meal evah.

So what's the fascination with this stuff? Please explain it to me.

Minsky's, Fun House, Old Shawnee Pizza I can deal with. This stuff.... hard to even call it pizza.

Agreed, and while theres really nothing special about any of their ingredients, they arent shy about piling them on, to paraphrase you "a decently edible gutbomb"

Its not horrible but its nothing special either. And for some reason I think it tastes like shit reheated. I think the only reason they stay in business is because people can get them with food stamps.

Titty Meat 06-07-2013 06:43 PM
Just had Sarpinos. Delicious but ****ing exoensive.

Papa Murphys used top be pretty good back in the mid 90s when they were just a west coast chain. They changed the recipe for their sauce and it is horrible now.

Now, a New Haven Apizza is great. Love the littleneck clams and chopped garlic.

This. I used to always get their egg-ceptional breakfast pizza too. Also delicious.

Its ****ing disgusting. I was in St Loser and was served one of their "famous" pizzas. I made them take it back and bring me a real one.

Yup they aren't for people on the cheap, they are however the best hands down around here. They make everything from scratch there and once you've had it, you won't go back to any other.

Titty Meat 09-26-2013 12:37 PM
I liked it. Reminded me of Johnny C's.

Very expensive though.

Ya it's ok if you're in the mood for it, although I don't remember it being expensive. You were asking for Authentic Chicago style..Rosati's is that. Same as the original location. I put it on par with Giordanos.

Co-Worker told me I can order pizzas from places in Chicago or buy "the dish" at HY-VEE.

Where's Rosatis?

69 highway/college blvd same strip mall as Garozzos, but i'm warning you it isn't cheap. They also do delivery to Mid/South Overland Park.

AndChiefs 09-26-2013 12:52 PM
It's fine as a novelty every once in awhile. Nothing to write home about or seek out.

The frozen Dish pizzas from Hy-Vee are pretty good, IMO.

patteeu 09-26-2013 02:57 PM
To me, IMO's is ok as a change of pace, but I never go out of my way looking for it. I like thin crust, but I don't like the way IMO's is so soggy and then, of course, there's the cheese issue. At least it's different though.

I don't get the Fun House love at all. Minsky's and Pizza Shoppe are the chains for me.

Fun House pizza was OK, but their wings were awesome.

I've heard good things about that place but have never had an opportunity to try it.

Rosatis sounds extremely interesting and will be remembered for the future.

I like Imos, but really liked a place in Overland Park called George's, haven't been back for a while so don't know if it's still there.

TribalElder 09-26-2013 03:17 PM
I believe georges is now no longer. They renovated the shopping center on 95th and I don't think they reopened. Ate there 1 or 2 times and it was good. too bad it's no longer

OnTheWarpath15 09-26-2013 03:22 PM
Nearly 41 years in STL, and I'm not a fan of IMO's. It's not the dreck you "hate all things STL" folks claim it is, but Dewey's and Pi are two MUCH better options.

Prison Bitch 09-26-2013 03:27 PM
I like imo's

mike_b_284 09-26-2013 04:04 PM
my girlfriend is from stl, and we have had imo's a few times while visiting. I have learned the most important thing is to ask for mozzarella and go easy on toppings (like 2 or 3 tops) otherwise you get soggy greasy crap in a box.

NewChief 09-26-2013 05:01 PM
Just get a bacon pizza from there. Damned good. I dig provel personally.

Dewey's is good stuff!

I don't like this thread being negative about IMO pizza . They buy more boar semen from me than Frazod.

Still haven't hit up Minsky's since 2006, but Waldo Pizza is just amazing.

HonestChieffan 09-26-2013 07:15 PM
I can give you a few places in Rome, Naples, Venice, Florence but StLouis ? Really?

St Louis on almost all measures sucks. The hill is great for superior pasta. Other than the hill the place is a shit hole.

If you live in the KC area, I'd recommend taking a trip up to Liberty and trying out the Dish.

O.city 09-26-2013 08:56 PM
Waldo is great, but you have to eat it there. It's not as good when it's to go.

HCF went to Italy once; now he's a certified pizza master.

The only ****ers on Earth that know more about pizza than him are the Ninja Turtles.

Bullshit.

IMOs is a decent acquired taste, but it's not the pinnacle of anything. It's the White Castles of pizza. Good when you get a craving for it, but not putting you best foot forward.

Pi, Talayna's, Racanellis, Black Torne, great pizza joints.

Blueberry Hill, O'Connell's, Annie Gunn's, great burgers.

Winslow's Home, Nature's Harvest, new local cuisine

Cherokee street Mexican

Great Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Sushi, Ethiopian.

Great Diners, great soul food

Upscale at Sydney Street, Tony's

Didn't hit my favorite joint in the Lou: Farmhaus. Think he's going to be featured on Zimmerman's show soon.

cdcox 09-26-2013 10:36 PM
I'm guessing from the description that Imo's (never had it) is similar to Leo's in the Northland? If so, I'm a huge fan. We get Leo's every time we are in KC.

Heard very good things, but no I haven't been.

Don't know if it counts as St. Louis as it's 30 mi or so South, but Blue Owl is amazing as well.

Also, Iron Barley.

He did it without calling them "waps" that's an accomplishment itself.
