The tall neon chef greeting folks at this Imo’s is probably the only one of his kind. The chain normally eschews such frills, but this unique corner location of the classic St. Louis pizza provider has both a pickup window and a real dining room. Imo’s has embraced technology, with online ordering and daily specials revealed via social media sites. The pizza causes no ambivalence---it's either loved or hated. Key components are a cracker-thin crust, square pieces, a sweet-tangy tomato sauce and gobs of Provel cheese (a gooey, tooth-sticking combination of cheddar, Swiss and provolone that’s unique to St. Louis). House salads, festooned with more of the same cheese, are simple but not bad, except for the sweet house dressing. Provel also features heavily in the pastas and sandwiches, and it does melt nicely over salsiccia.
