St. Louis-style pizza is one of the most disgusting things I've ever eaten.

The style has a thin cracker-like crust made without yeast, generally uses Provel cheese, and is cut into squares or rectangles instead of wedges.

...

Provel is a trademark for a combination of three cheeses (provolone, Swiss, and white cheddar) used instead of (or, rarely, in addition to) the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.

...

Some of the sauces have a sweetness to them

Oh dear god it's awful.

Born and raised in StL. Can confirm. The worst part about the cheese is that it's ... sticky. It never quite congeales after you melt it so you get weird, greasy, molten shit stuck to the roof of your mouth

I went to Imo's because I was told I had to try it and I still regret it years later.

Imos sandwiches are really good, so are the sides, pretty much anything not pizza is really good there, lol

This sounds like a thin crust from Domino's. One of my favorite crusts for a spicy Hawaiian.

[–] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

I assure you it is much, much worse than dominos. It's like making a pizza with Cheez Wiz instead of real cheese. Considering the ingredients of provel cheese are all nice on their own is quite the feat.

This is certainly a distinct style of pizza, as much difference as Chicago style is from New York. Unlike with those I have no idea how anyone thought this was a good idea.

I was expecting a rectangular pizza cut into squares which would make sense. Jesus Christ they really saw a circle and said, squares are the perfect way to cut this!

[–] Liz@midwest.social 2 points 9 months ago

Square cut is a Midwestern thing and it makes for smaller pieces so you can have exactly as much pizza as you want. Also you end up with these comically small triangles in a few edge pieces and they're adorable.

ok yeah that does sound worse.

The sauce is often seasoned with more oregano than other pizza types

OREGANO IS FOR SAVAGES!

Bite your tounge, heathen!

Yeah last time I was in St Louis I went to get a pizza and was basically dumbfounded by what I got. It was awful.
