Imo’s Pizza

Did not have great or even good experience. Order house side salad, spaghetti with 2 meatballs, small mushroom pizza. Self serve drinks, pickup your silverware, plates and condiments. Did not have any clean silverware so told server at the counter. Same server delivered salad too the table with NO silverware. Then brought the spaghetti with meatballs still no forks. Went back to the counter again ask for silverware. Went back to my booth and they brought the pizza still no silverware. Now you get the picture.
I also found that the new website has big problem, the Price’s on the Web do not mach this store prices. When I question them about the order I was told this store will charge what they want. Owner franchise store.

This is not the place I remember back in the 80s and 90s. Today we ordered a pizza to go at 4 o’clock to be picked up at 5 o’clock. They put it in the oven at 4 o’clock and it was cold when we picked it up. A large pizza and a salad was $ 22.50. I thought that was a little bit steep for the quality of food. The service was just «OK «they seemed a little bit confused and incompetent at times.

If you like the taste of cheese and nothing else. This place Is for you. Got a simple pizza (large pepperoni sausage and mushroom) just to try it out. It was disgusting. Couldn’t taste anything but the cheese. And it was extremely expensive. The pizza and two fountain drinks was $ 22.50. The service was ok. By that I mean it’s mostly self serve. They just bring out your pizza. Just go o a better pizza joint. Probably for less too.

Imos sucks! Rude and the cheese is disgusting! Greasy as can be. Enough said, other than it is way too expensive. They are obviously relying on notoriety.

Edwardsville Imo’s has been ruined by the new ownership. Prices have been jacked up, quality of food is terrible. No flavor and most of the time your pizza shows up cold. Chicken strips have been changed to garbage. I called the store and the girl answering the phone said she felt bad because the new ownership was ruining the store. She apologized for the chicken strips and just said they found a cheaper option but raised the price. If you want Imo’s do not go to the Edwardsville store

Pizza is thin crust. Provolone cheese instead of mozzarella.
We tried large thin crust with olives and pineapple. Thin crust with onions and mushrooms.
2 large salads are pretty basic. Iceberg lettuce with cheese and a few slim toppings.
No big deal. It hit the spot but not amazing.

Did you know that the Edwardsville Imo’s came under new ownership this winter? I was reading the reviews, and it looks as though all of the higher rating reviews are from before the change. Dean M.‘s review reflects the change in opinion of Imo’s with the change of ownership, and I agree.
Imo’s was never my favorite pizza place. I mostly ordered the toasted ravioli or garlic cheese bread. Their pizza was never very good, and very much the «velveeta on a cracker» as coined by Bill C. However, as I have friends who deliver for Imo’s, I have continued to sample it over the years. I was amazed that it could get worse. The «cracker» crust has attained even more of a cardboard flavoring and achieved an inexplicable level of crunchiness. They even changed the pizza sauce to an inferior quality product.
Oh, and also, the prices have been hiked up. The lunch special isn’t so special, anymore, as it has nearly doubled in price. There are way too many other pizza places in town for these shenanigans.

The salads here are really good. It’s a quick and easy lunch. I would advise to NEVER order the pizza. I am born and raised in this area and the cheese they put on their pizza is awful I don’t think it’s a «local» thing.

Being a lifetime IMO’s lover, it is disappointing to learn that the Edwardsville franchise has changed owners and decided to throw quality out the window. Against my best judgement, I again ordered and paid for «extras» that should of returned the taste to a level I have grown used to and was sadly let down. Too many other really good pizza choices in Edwardsville to even consider again — until something changes. Bye IMO’s — I’ll visit again when I’m on the STL side of the river!

Ordered house salad, as many times as I’ve ordered NEVER CAME WITH ONION. online menu says no onions but to the manager it’s my problem. Couldn’t eat it smelled and tasted like nothing but onions. Called three other stores. Cheese only! This manager needs to get his job right and not blame customers for his lack of knowledge. Not happy and still hungry

This IMO’s SUCKS! I live in TX and look forward to going to IMO’s… This was the worst I have ever had… and all my st. louis’ family members as well… NO CHEESE… too much sauce… Not real IMO’S…BAD BAD BAD… The Imo’s corporate need to go and check these guys out cause they are ruining the IMO’S brand

Always a favorite of mine when I go back to St. Louis.

I purchased Imo’s exactly one time. Every now and then, a teenager or young adult opens a box on my kitchen counter. Dummy that I am, I repeatedly sample, thinking that it can’t be as bad as I remember. Each time, I taste then think, «Oh yeah. It’s bad.» Perhaps it’s not just the provel, as repeatedly lampooned by Unilocal St. Louis’s legendary Tim G. It’s not just that the texture is velveeta on a cracker, as noted by my E’villian compadre Bill C. The taste experience is so off color to me, yet area residents’ loyalty so fierce, that I wonder whether one’s love of Imo’s pizza is dependent upon something unique in the local ecosystem. Like a salmon that knows the stream in which it was raised by smell and taste, perhaps St. Louisans recognize some chemical cue in the taste of the cheese from the farm whose water is sourced from the same aquifer from which they first tasted a drink. I’m not a native, so understand my two stars in that light.

Very rude. Place is dirty well the floor is. And there a bunch if people working and only us and one other customer u thing they would clean last time I come here and she was extremely rude

Horrible service! Girl at the front needs some courses in customer service. So rude and start yelling at me when I read off the menu to order, but she insisted that there is no Veggie Deluxe. There is a veggie pizza and a deluxe pizza she says. I was reading off the menu. She had no right to yell at me!

About once a year some visitor wants to try St. Louis style pizza and toasted ravioli, and we end up here. And that’s fine. I usually get the spaghetti. However, the Imo’s store on 157 in Edwardsville needs some major cleaning and sprucing-​up. The ceiling is filthy and moldy. Roof repairs needed? They finally got rid of the torn-​up awning, but the overgrown landscaping is off-​putting. From the curb and the dining room, it looks as though no one cares.

It’s Imo’s. It’s awesome.

Butchers the art of pizza. Use of provel cheese is beyond me.

Wings aren’t bad. Salad is decent. But I just can’t get into the so-​called «St. Louis» style pizza. Those pizzas taste as if someone melted Velveeta onto a giant cracker. Unless you are really into this type of pizza, I can’t see why you’d go there.

Couldn’t figure out how to give no stars.
Worst pizza I have ever had hands down. It amazes me how many people that are raised in this area are addicted to PROVEL on pizza. Its cult-​like appeal in this area is so disturbing.
For anyone that was raised anywhere outside of St. Louis, you will never like PROVEL (this is not provolone) on your pizza. First of all, its a cheese PRODUCT (like velvetta or cheez whiz) not real cheese and it has no business being sold on pizza (let alone in the local supermarkets in the cheese area).
You can debate all day over NY versus Chicago style pizza. But, never can a real foody even consider Imos/​St Louis style a pizza worth considering.
Stay home and cook!
