Over 40 years ago, Ed Imo opened the first Imo’s Pizza on
the corner of Thurman and Shaw in the heart of South St. Louis. A
tile installer by day and a pizza maker by night, perhaps it was
his day job that made him subliminally cut his pizzas into strange,
tile-like squares instead of the traditional triangle slices.
But be that as it may, his delicious blend of special spices,
a zesty tomato sauce and Provel Cheese on a thin, crispy crust
grew quickly in popularity and has become what is now known as
the Original St. Louis Style Pizza.
In fact, Imo’s grew so quickly that Ed had to call on all
his relatives for help. And today, there are over 90 Imo’s
Pizza franchises in Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas. All of the
Imo’s locations are independently owned and operated and
daily operations are under the control and supervision of the independent
owner.
For one reason or another, sometimes we have to leave home. And
Imo’s knows that there are a lot of “original”
St. Louisians yearning for their home-town taste. St. Louis Style
Pizza Coast to Coast was formed to fill the needs of all the loyal
out-of-town Imo’s customers around the U.S. St. Louis Style
Pizza Coast to Coast ships the same hand-made Imo’s Pizzas
that have made their mark on St. Louis. In fact, all Imo's Pizzas
shipped by St. Louis Style Pizza Coast to Coast are made at Imo’s
locations!
We appreciate your continued loyalty while you are away from St.
Louis. We hope we are able to bring a little bit of home to you
with an Original Imo’s St. Louis Style pizza shipped straight
to your oven.
