Our Story

A Legacy Born from Passion

Imos Pizza began as a dream in 1964 when Ed and Margie Imo opened their first pizzeria in St. Louis. With a commitment to quality ingredients and a unique thin-crust recipe, they created something truly special that would become a St. Louis institution.

What started as a small neighborhood pizza shop has grown into a beloved brand with dozens of locations, but our commitment to authentic flavors and community connections remains unchanged. Every pizza we make carries the same dedication to excellence that Ed and Margie built their legacy on.

The Imos Difference

Our signature ultra-thin crust and Provel cheese blend set us apart from any other pizza. This isn't just a recipe – it's a St. Louis tradition that we've perfected over six decades. Every ingredient is carefully selected, every pizza hand-crafted with care.

From our secret sauce recipe to our commitment to supporting local communities, Imos Pizza represents more than just great food. We're part of the fabric of St. Louis, creating memories one slice at a time.
