St. Louis-style pizza is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever eaten.
The style has a thin cracker-like crust made without yeast, generally uses Provel cheese, and is cut into squares or rectangles instead of wedges.
…
Provel is a trademark for a combination of three cheeses (provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar) used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.
I assure you it is much, much worse than dominos. It’s like making a pizza with Cheez Wiz instead of real cheese. Considering the ingredients of provel cheese are all nice on their own is quite the feat.
This is certainly a distinct style of pizza, as much difference as Chicago style is from New York. Unlike with those I have no idea how anyone thought this was a good idea.
Born and raised in StL. Can confirm. The worst part about the cheese is that it’s … sticky. It never quite congeales after you melt it so you get weird, greasy, molten shit stuck to the roof of your mouth
I was expecting a rectangular pizza cut into squares which would make sense. Jesus Christ they really saw a circle and said, squares are the perfect way to cut this!
Square cut is a Midwestern thing and it makes for smaller pieces so you can have exactly as much pizza as you want. Also you end up with these comically small triangles in a few edge pieces and they’re adorable.

Oh dear god it’s awful.
This sounds like a thin crust from Domino’s. One of my favorite crusts for a spicy Hawaiian.

I went to Imo’s because I was told I had to try it and I still regret it years later.
Imos sandwiches are really good, so are the sides, pretty much anything not pizza is really good there, lol
