When you come to St. Louis, basically you have a couple places to choose from for "authentic" St. Louis style pizza: Imo's and Cecil Whitaker's. Last night I had the pleasure of having Imo's pizza. First, a description of St. Louis Style pizza:

A thin, cracker-like crust. ...that's pretty much all I know about it.

Imo's pizza has this super thin, saltine-esque crust, with a "zesty" tomato sauce, provel cheese, and it's cut into squares. I had the veggie pizza which had broccoli, green peppers, mushroom, onions, and tomatoes on it. A lot of toppings for such a fragile (read: frah-GILE) crust. But it held its own. It really held its own.

The cheese is unusual. It's the kind where it gets stuck behind your front teeth after you take a bite. But it's really very good. I recommend it. I have yet to try CW's, and, believe me, you'll be the first to know what it's like.

Love, Kate
