Imo's Pizza - Collinsville

Imo's Pizza - Collinsville is a culinary gem for pizza lovers seeking an authentic taste of St. Louis-style pizza right in Illinois. This beloved pizza restaurant, located at 1600 N Keebler Ave, specializes in the iconic thin, cracker-like crust that manages to be both delightfully crisp and resilient enough to support a generous array of toppings without sogginess. The moment you take your first bite, you experience the harmony of flavors that makes Imo’s stand out — the sauce is light and nuanced, perfectly complementing the creamy, almost velvety texture of their unique white cheddar-like cheese. It’s a different, refreshing take on pizza that tempts your palate with every slice.

The menu at Imo’s Pizza offers more than just classic pies — it’s a celebration of sandwich and side options that add variety and depth to your meal. For those who love hearty sandwiches, the “Imo’s Extra Special” hoagie bursts with layers of top roast beef, hickory-smoked ham, salami, fresh cheese, and crisp garden veggies, all drizzled with Imo's signature sandwich dressing. Meatball & Cheese sandwiches also deliver big comfort with rich meatballs bathed in pasta sauce, melting cheese, and freshly baked hoagie bread. The diverse sides, from Au Jus to Garlic Butter and a range of dressings including Imo’s Creamy Garlic and Blue Cheese, allow you to customize your meal experience to your exact liking.

The pizza selection is equally enticing, with specialty options like the Deluxe — a rich medley of sausage, bacon, mushroom, onion, and green pepper — and the All Meat, piled high with sausage, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and bacon for that ultimate protein-packed indulgence. If you prefer fresh and savory veggies, the Veggie pizza with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, and tomatoes offers a garden-fresh bite. For something smoky and tangy, the BBQ Chicken pizza, laden with BBQ sauce, chicken, and onions, hits all the right notes.
