Our Story

How Imos Pizza Was Born

Imos Pizza began with a simple dream: to bring the authentic taste of St. Louis-style thin-crust pizza to every table. Founded in 1964, the imos pizza tradition was built on hand-stretched dough, house-made sauce, and the iconic Provel cheese blend that set us apart from every other pizzeria in United States.

What started as a single neighborhood restaurant grew into a beloved institution. Every imo's pizza we craft honors the original recipe — crispy cracker-thin crust, zesty tomato sauce, generous toppings, and that unmistakable Provel melt that keeps customers coming back generation after generation.

Today, Imos Pizza continues to deliver the same warmth, flavor, and community spirit that has defined us for over six decades. Whether you're ordering your first imos or your hundredth, we treat every pizza like it's the most important one we've ever made.
