From a small St. Louis kitchen to an iconic brand — discover the passion, people, and principles behind every slice of Imo's Pizza.
Imo's Pizza was born in 1964 when Tom and Margie Imo opened their first pizzeria in St. Louis, Missouri. Armed with a secret recipe for ultra-thin cracker-crust pizza and Provel cheese, they set out to create something truly unique.
What started as a neighborhood gem quickly became a St. Louis institution. Our signature square-cut, thin-crust pizza layered with Provel cheese and premium toppings became the gold standard for pizza lovers across the region. Decades of dedication, hundreds of thousands of pies, and countless loyal families later — we're still making it the same way.
Today, Imo's Pizza operates across the greater St. Louis area, carrying forward the same values of quality, community, and passion that Tom and Margie instilled from day one. Every pizza we make is a tribute to that original vision.
Every decision we make — from sourcing ingredients to serving you — is guided by these principles.
Every pie is crafted with the same love and attention to detail that Tom and Margie Imo brought to their very first pizza in 1964.
We source premium, fresh ingredients and use our original Provel cheese blend — no shortcuts, no compromises, ever.
Imo's is more than a pizza place — we're a St. Louis staple. We give back, sponsor local events, and celebrate our neighbors.
