st. louis style pizza 

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.

St. Louis Style Pizza 

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).

St. Louis Style Pizza 

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.
