A while back I wrote an article, Iconic St. Louis Foods, obviously about foods that are considered emblematic of St. Louis. One of those is St. Louis style pizza. The best known purveyor being Imo’s Pizza.
If you grew up in St. Louis there is a good chance you love this style of pizza. Most folks who have not grown up here do not. One of the quickest ways for me to punch one of Señora’s buttons is to denigrate this iconic St. Louis food. I just don’t get it. I find it nearly inedible. But then again I am not a big fan of pizza in general.
Below is the comedian Jim Gaffigan’s take on St. Louis style pizza. Enjoy the video if not the pizza. Spoiler alert – he is not as negative about it as I am.
