About Imos Pizza
Serving authentic St. Louis-style pizza with pride since 1964
Our Story
Founded in 1964 in St. Louis, Missouri, Imos Pizza has been a beloved family tradition for nearly six decades. What started as a small neighborhood pizzeria has grown into an iconic brand, famous for its distinctive ultra-thin crust and signature Provel cheese blend.
Our journey began with Ed and Margie Imo's vision to create something unique in the pizza world. They developed the now-famous St. Louis-style pizza, featuring an impossibly thin crust that's crispy from edge to edge, tangy tomato sauce, and the distinctive white cheese blend that has become our trademark.
Today, we bring this authentic St. Louis tradition to Philadelphia, maintaining the same commitment to quality ingredients and time-honored recipes that made us famous.
