Try (the controversial) St. Louis style pizza! What is St. Louis style pizza we hear you say? The STL style has 4 defining characteristics : a thin cracker crust, sweet tomato sauce, provel cheese, and square cut pieces. The small square slices and rigid crust help support the weight of the loaded toppings. The sauce is sweet due to the influence of Sicilian immigrants upon Italian foods in St. Louis. And the most divisive aspect - provel cheese - is made from cheddar, Swiss, and provolone. It was developed in St. Louis during the 1950s and is not found widely outside the city. Don't miss the other St. Louis classics. Grab a side of toasted raviolis and dessert of gooey butter cake.
