If you're not from the area, let us introduce you to Imo's Pizza! Imo's is a St. Louis style pizza: thin crust, provel cheese, and they cut it into squares! We love Imo's (you either love it or hate it.) And when you're there, be sure to try the toasted ravioli! Another St. Louis delicacy. Deep-fried meat-filled ravioli that you dip in marinara sauce.
