The worst FOOD I've ever eaten
Provided by Citysearch
It's been over 15 years since I had Imo's ""Pizza"" for the first and last time. St. Louis natives are the only thing keeping this business alive.\r \r Four of us ended a 3-day road trip from California and arrived in St. Louis starving. Not knowing the city, we found Imo's in the phone book and got it delivered to our hotel room.\r \r When four hungry college guys cannot finish even half a pizza, you know something is terribly wrong. The Provel cheese had the consistency of hot Elmer's glue and probably tasted about the same. I tried eating just the toppings, but they were too infected by this Provel vomit cheese. I swear the crust had to have been made by Nabisco. Ultimately, we went to a local bar for a couple beers to wash the foulness out of our mouths.\r \r Imo's Pizza is not just the worst pizza, it's the worst FOOD I've ever eaten. This comes from someone who's had sea urchin and sea cucumber. \r \r The State of Missouri should serve this to death row inmates as their last meal and that would save them from having to spend money on sodium pentathol and potassium chloride.

Taste of Home
Provided by Citysearch
Imo's Pizza is a distinctive taste, and you can almost always tell the transplants; they don't like it. The reason for this is simple; it's not like any other pizza in the country, at least that I've had. Provel cheese is softer than mozzarella, similar to silk tofu, so it melts differently and can cause huge hassles when you aren't used to it. Imo's has perfected it's use and made it a staple of St. Louis junk food. As someone who admittedly hates thin crust pizza, the St. Louis crust Imo's is known for is-in a word-addictive.

Dying Man refused Imos’s Pizza by the Company
Provided by Citysearch
Dying Man refused Imos’s Pizza by the Company Today, Mark W Clark of Irvine CA who was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer was accused of not being at home when his pizza’s arrived. Knowing how important this was to him and with the help of his wife of 25 years took turns standing guard at the door waiting for FEDX to arrive. They arrived about 1pm PST and Mark answers the door and accepted the package with great feeling of a home he hadn’t known for over 30 years. Much to his dismay when he opened the package it smelt like vinegar and the pizzas were defrosted. He was expecting a package like he gets from Omaha Steaks. But much to his dismay there was no dry ice and it wasn’t cold. He immediately wrote to them in a email and they respond in kind, but then today Mark received the following statement from the company “I looked into your order and spoke with FedEx. They said no one was home and they left the pizzas at your front door at 1:12pm. We do put 3 pounds of dry ice in these boxes. When I re send you the pizzas and the product they will come in 2 separate boxes. Someone must be home to receive these packages. On our site it states that is no one is home to receive the packages we will not be responsible for spoiled OR lost packages. SO We will ship the product out Tuesday and ship Pizzas out Wednesday. Both packages will arrive on Thursday.” Needless to say Mark was quite angry and now knows that there is no way he will have his pizzas due to his medical condition and all the tests and treatment plans begin. He can only hope now that God will let him accept a delivery. PLEASE I NEED HELP IN THIS MATTER. ICAN REIMBURSE YOU FOR ALL COSTS AND YOUR TIME. THIS IS MY LAST WISH..PLASE HELP!! EMAIL ME AT MARKC6@YAHOO IF YOU CAN HELP!! THANKS IN ADVANCE MARK CLARK

Love IMO's
Provided by Citysearch
When ever I am not in St Louis, I always crave Imo's and only found a couple other places that serve provel outside the St Louis area.\r \r Provel is a thing where people either like it or hate it. I love it. \r \r I have lived all over the united states and even in several other countries, but when in St Louis I have to have Imo's. \r

Hot Trash
Provided by Citysearch
Just arrived and was told IMO's is the best in town. Sorry to say, if this is the best...than I'll be terminating pizza eating in St Louis for life. This crap tastes like Hot Trash at best. Absolute garbage. I feel sorry for those who have never had real Pizza like in Boston or New York.

I don't understand how anyone coul not rate imo's with five stars. I feel it is the best pizza offered in St. Louis.
New York is the only city that may deserve the same rating. It is always super delicious. I try to control my weight or I would eat it every day. I love Imos. -

Easily the most WORST PIZZA EVER
Provided by Citysearch
This was the worst experience of my life when it comes to eating Pizza. The sause was made of puke. The rest of the stuff looked the same. The crust was awful tasted like cardboard and a really low grade of cardboard at that. How can you call this pizza. The people making this stuff should be arrested for impersonating a pizza maker. I'm from Cincinnati where we have real pizza. I'm new to the St. Louis area, I hope all area restaurants aren't this bad. Hey St Louis drive to Cincinnati for Pizza its only a 6 hour drive but you will taste real pizza and not the stuff you have been lied to all this time THAT AINT PIZZA DUDE. IMO'S PIZZA SUCKS

Poor Excuse for Pizza...
Provided by Citysearch
I apologize for those who've grown up in St. Louis and have been brainwashed into thinking that sub-standard food is normal, and eating a ""local tradition"" makes for a regional hit-maker. Imo's tastes the same way it looks... like a poor person's attempt at making pizza out of the scraps left over in the cubbard, when there's more month at the end of the money. \r It just looks nasty; tastes like the cardboard box it comes in, and is much too expensive for what one gets. Honestly; I have not run across too many ""real"" pizza places I care for, here in St. Louis. I have been tempted to try some of the more ""Italianesque"" places on the Hill. At least I know those are more genuine than Imo's, depression-era, nasty attempt at pizza. \r Then again; success is having a product and convincing thousands that it's the best, local thing going, so you might as well be a loyal consumer too. \r Save your money; not worth the drive, the abuse to your taste buds, or the punishment to your stomach.

Obviously, people grow up in different areas of the country and are used to different things.

Imo's is a long standing tradition in St. Louis. While there are many disputes about crust, Imo's is about the only pizza left that uses the real sausage w/anise in it. No fillers or preformed meat there. What is disgusting is that people form New York who write their reviews spell disgusting disscusting...get outta here!

Delicious!
Provided by Citysearch
This is a St. Louis favorite. I LOVE IT! If it were so gross their wouldn't be one every 3 miles every were in the city and counties. The crust is good, not dry or cardboard like. I like thin crust because you can taste the toppings more and I'm all about the toppings. The cheese is amazing and the seasoning is phenomenal. Not to mention the people that work their are always so friendly. It's wonderful. I think I'll get it for lunch.

Well...Imo's couldn't cut it in central Illinois....
Provided by Citysearch
We used to have an Imo's Pizza in Springfield, IL.....needless to say, it didn't last long. Why?! Because it wasn't very good at all. Personally speaking, it wasn't the WORST pizza I ever had, but it was certainly far from the best. That cheese they put on it was terrible (provel?! wtf is that?!?!). Almost tasted like somebody threw up on a pizza. I'll give it some credit though...at least it had flavor! LOL, it wasn't bland at all.

too frozen
just was not good- go buy a frozen pizza has more taste

Provel is just wrong
Provided by Citysearch
Provel is just wrong and it doesn't belong anywhere near a pizza crust.\r \r I had no idea of it's existence until we moved here a few years ago and were jonesing for a pizza. So innocently I took a bite and the alarm bells of upset and disappointment rang through my skull. Confused and unhappy, I walked up to the counter person and inquired as to what kind of cheese was on my pizza. He replied, ""Provel"". I'm like, ""whazza Provel?""\r \r Because we bought it, I ate it and as a result, Imo's taught me everything that I needed to know. I shudder in the grocery now when I walk past the deli section. Big blogs of white extruded cheese (reminds me of brains) wrapped in plastic...brrrr....\r \r I've eaten pizza all over this country. I've eaten it in Italy. I can honestly say that this is the worst pizza that I've ever eaten. Ever. And I'd basically rather starve than eat that cheese in any form.\r \r I have no problem with the locals enjoying it. Eat up, Saint Louis! But this is never going to fly elsewhere (hint to those dreaming of franchises on the west coast). I say that with all sincere seriousness. \r \r We all have foods that we grew up with that bring back fond memories and good times with friends. Foods that other people don't understand. Please know that this pizza fits the bill for native St Louisians who love IMOs. It's your thing. It's your culture. It's your little piece of happy. But if you're not from 'here', it's just not right.
