St. Louis-style pizza is a distinct style of pizza popular in St. Louis, Missouri and its surrounding areas. It is known as one of the most delectable pizza styles ever created.
The most notable characteristic of St. Louis-style pizza is the distinctively St. Louisan provel cheese used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella common to other styles of pizza.
The pizza has a thin, round crust, as opposed to Chicago-style pizza or New York-style pizza. The crust of a St. Louis pizza is somewhat crisp and cannot be folded easily and is typically cut into three- or four-inch squares instead of the pie-like wedges typical of many pizza styles. Some local restaurants make their pizzas rectangular rather than round. It is often salty and seasoned with more oregano than other pizza types. Despite its thin crust, it can be layered deeply with many different toppings. Sauces tend to have a sweetness to them, some more noticeably than others.
The three largest St. Louis-style Pizza chains are Imo's Pizza, Cecil Whittaker's Pizzeria, and Fortel's Pizza Den.

An event that occurs bi-monthly by a drunk-as-fuck horny male. The male must have been recently watching porn and/or consuming dozens of 12 oz keystone lights. The male (who also happens to have a feces fetish) cuts a hole into the bottom of a pizza box and places his dick through it. He then walks over to the neighboring dorms and breaks into his friends room and flaps open the pizza box to expose his wang. Most often the friends will laugh and ridicule him...however he is also susceptible to getting a baseball bat pulled on him for obvious reasons. This obese individual will also commonly begin to masturbate while in the middle of his pizza delivery.
Jorge: Damn bro I'm thinking about boozin tonight!
Max: What a surprise!
Jorge: I know bro I have a problem but I'm just feel like completing 3 consecutive power hours.
Max: Rumor has it that you will be completing a pizza delivery (slu style) tonight...is that true?
Jorge: YOU KNOW WHAT! That's a fantastic idea.....im going to lube up beforehand so that when I get to the neighboring dorms I can bust a quick load!

The only people this backwards type of pizza appeals to are the people from the cultural wasteland known as St. Louis. By the way, the words "St. Louis", "elitist", and "urban" never belong in a sentence or discussion together. True, St. Louisans like to think they are elite and urban, but this is due to their major inferiority complexes. Anyone who asks you where you went to school as a way to get a conversation started has issues (and certainly wouldn't know what good pizza is).
St. Louis Style Pizza, no matter, how it is described, is awful (unless your culinary experience is limited to a small, forgettable town in the lower Midwest).

A nasty concoction consisting of extremely thin, tasteless cardboard-like crust slathered in runny cheap salty pizza sauce and topped with gooey St. Louis-exclusive cheese called Provel that looks and tastes like melted Velveeta. While many St. Louisans inexplicably love this crap, don’t let them con you into thinking it’s real pizza – it isn’t! Imo's is probably the most famous type of this stuff - stay away!
While visiting Sally in St. Louis, she tried to get me to eat St. Louis style pizza. I told her that I'd rather die a slow death.
