Our Story
Imo's Pizza was founded in 1964 by Ed and Margie Imo, who started with a simple idea: create a delicious, unique pizza experience and deliver it right to people's doors. What began as a small family operation in a single location has grown into a beloved restaurant chain across the United States, while maintaining the same commitment to quality and service that defined us from day one.
The Imos introduced St. Louis to their signature thin crust pizza, topped with Provel cheese and cut into squares instead of triangular slices—a style that would become known as "St. Louis-style pizza." This distinctive approach, combined with fresh ingredients and a dedication to customer satisfaction, quickly made Imo's a local favorite.
Over the decades, we've expanded our menu to include pasta, salads, and appetizers, but our famous pizza remains at the heart of everything we do. As we've grown, we've embraced technology to make ordering more convenient for our customers, developing a responsive website and mobile ordering system that makes getting your favorite Imo's Pizza dishes easier than ever.
Today, Imo's Pizza continues to be a family-focused business, dedicated to the communities we serve. We believe in giving back, supporting local organizations, and creating a welcoming environment for families to enjoy quality food together.
