  Took a last minute mini roadtrip to St. Louis over the weekend and figured we should try some St. Louis style food, this was the place that was recommended to us.  
  
  Pizza was definitely different from what we have here in Chicago l, but it was good. The cheese tasted more like a cheese sauce rather than cheese but it complimented all the other flavors. We tried the eggcellence pizza and thought it was pretty good, especially if you're an egg lover.  Also tried their fried ravioli and it was good, although I've had slightly better here in Chicago.
  
  Overall would return if passing by..

  Ordered a pepperoni pizza and some toasted ravioli.  Food came out hot.  This is the first time we've had toasted ravioli and it was okay.  Pizza was just okay.  I'd go back but would probably check out another pizza location first.  Staff were friendly and inside was clean.  Only negative is there was a tv show on that was turned up pretty loud and had a lot of cussing.  We had our 2 year old daughter with us and luckily she didn't pick up any of the language on the television.

  When my friend told his manager that he was going to St. Louis his manager insisted that we had to try Imo's pizza. Despite there being a location in Kansas City, his manager said that the KC location couldn't compare to the St. Louis one.
  
  We stopped by Imo's for dinner before exploring the City Museum, and got the 16 inch deluxe pizza, which comes with came with bacon, bell peppers, mushrooms, and ham.
  
  My boyfriend and I thought that the cheese on the pizza was really interesting. It had a liquid consistency, instead of a solid stringy one, but it was delicious nonetheless. However, we did find that this caused the pizza toppings to easily slip off the slices.
  
  Another interesting thing about Imo's is that they don't cut their pizza into pie slices, but instead do three cuts horizontally and three cuts vertically, so the slices are rectangular. I actually prefer this over pie type slices since it keeps the slices smaller, so they're easier to handle.
  
  I was skeptical that we would finish the entire 16 inch oiza, since it was just me and two others, but my friend insisted on getting it. Surprisingly we were actually able to finish it all before we left. This was probably due to the fact that the pizza was really thin, so it doesn't fill you up as quickly after each slice. By the time we finished though, we were definitely stuffed! The pizza was really flavorful, so I'd come back for sure if I was back in St. Louis. I also think I might have to try the KC location for comparison!

  Everyone said, "If you're in St. Louis, you've got to go to Imo's." Simple enough, I thought. I mean, who doesn't love trying local pizza? So the first meal I had when I was in the Lou was Imo's.
  
  What makes Imo's, and I suppose all of St. Louis pizza different from say, Chicago or New York is that their crust is a cracker crust. It's crunchy. It's thicker than thin crust but thinner than pan. It's dense and crispy with a slight, very slight hint of chewy.
  
  Here at Imo's you order, get your number, wait- a little long in my case and then eventually someone will yell out your number so you can get your food.
  
  We had a bbq chicken pizza, which was really good. That St. Louis bbq sauce was so sweet and tangy. The chicken was piled on top of mounds of cheese and that famous crust. We ordered bread sticks as well, because- why not? I love bread.
  
  We had our pizza inside the shop, but probably would have been a better idea to take it to go, but as tourists we didn't know these things. The tables weren't really clean. The crowd though was amazing for people watching. There wasn't really service there in terms of waitstaff so you're better off just picking it up or having it delivered (presuming that they do deliver).
  
  I'm definitely happy we checked it out, but next time I'm eating it from the bed of my hotel.

  We Found that the St. Louis pizza seeing is quite different than anywhere else with everyone. Super thin and crispy with a different kind of cheese. So while at the city Museum someone suggested that we try this place, we did not like it. I don't think it's this particular location it was the general make of the pizza that we were not fond of quite a bit sweeter than anything we've ever been used to.
