American pizza chain Imo’s Pizza has announced the launch of a new line of frozen St. Louis-style pies, which will be sold at grocery stores throughout St. Louis and in other states starting October 3.
The frozen St. Louis-style pizzas are made with Provel cheese and will be offered in a wide range of varieties. These include Cheese, Sausage & Pepperoni, Bacon, Deluxe, and Four Meat varieties. The pizzas will be made in St. Louis using the same ingredients as Imo's Pizza.
“Imo’s Pizza has built a loyal following over the past 58 years, and today we are proud to offer our fans another way to satisfy their craving for the original St. Louis-style pizza,” said Mark Miner, chief executive officer of Imo’s. “While nothing compares to a freshly baked Imo’s pizza from one of our 99 restaurants, our Imo’s frozen pizza brings our parlor to your kitchen.”
