About Imos Pizza

Discover our story, mission, and the passionate team behind St. Louis's favorite pizza

Our Story

Since 1964, Imos Pizza has been serving authentic St. Louis style pizza to families across the region. What started as a single location with a simple dream has grown into a beloved institution, but our commitment to quality and tradition remains unchanged.

We believe that great pizza brings people together. Every square-cut slice tells a story of family gatherings, celebration meals, and community connections. Our unique ultra-thin crust and signature Provel cheese blend create a taste that's distinctly St. Louis and unmistakably Imos.

Today, we continue to honor our founders' vision while embracing innovation in our kitchens and customer service. We're not just a pizza restaurant - we're a part of your family's story.
