For the 7th year we decided to try St. Louis! This cities pizza is famous for its ultra-thin, cracker-like crust and its signature use of Provel cheese — a uniquely local blend of cheddar, Swiss, and provolone that melts into a creamy, tangy layer unlike any other. Unlike traditional round pizzas, St. Louis-style pies are typically cut into small, square “party” slices, making them perfect for sharing. The sauce tends to be slightly sweet and often seasoned with a hint of oregano, balancing beautifully with the crisp crust and gooey cheese. This distinct style, developed by neighborhood pizzerias like Imo’s, reflects St. Louis’s Midwestern charm and community-focused dining culture — bold, unconventional, and proudly local. As the Olympics' opening ceremonies had just started we went as Team USA theme. Below is the group average of best pies in St. Louis and, those who made the journey to the gateway to the west!
