St Louis...From one Fleisher to another Flescher...<br /><br />St Louis pizza is a thin crust pizza that has a bottom crust resembling that of many frozen pizzas on the market. The pizza is cut into squares much like the rest of the Midwest (Chicago & Milwaukee) but the real key difference is that they also use a signature cheese called "Provel", an unholy marriage of Velveeta & Provolone. Imo’s is the place most famous for it, but they do it about the worst. The best rendition I’ve ever experienced of it was at Tucker Place near Downtown St Louis.<br /><br />If you ever get a chance to get to Racine, WI (about 25 miles south of Milwaukee) Wells Brothers is about the best of the other Midwest style pizzas called “Tavern” or cracker crust thin. And one more thing; when you order Pizzas in St. Louis, Chicago or Milwaukee, try to forget for a moment that you’re a former east coaster and just get the sausage! It’s what we do best, pepperoni is more of a 2nd favorite with us.<br /><br />-Burt<br /> <br />I like your blog BTW!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071378349663753874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193681104867203736.post-44311488011022543482009-02-13T18:53:00.000-06:002009-02-13T18:53:00.000-06:00JHThanks for the post and asking.

I've been in Kansas since 1981 and in the Kansas City area since 1992.( see the left side part of the blog for more information). I originally come from RI where there was a lot of pizza, Italian food but no St. Louis types! I just never saw this place and I have been by that area like I said very often. No big sign maybe. Still very interesting and different pizzas. There are so many pizza places that are boringly the same or like other pizza places. This was a breath of fresh air . Thanks once again for posting. Feel free to post comments in the future. Also check my reviews like this one on Urbanspoon and put me down as a friend. ? let me knowDr. Eric Flescher (dreric1kansas@aol.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00414489162754063408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193681104867203736.post-84441999943363597792009-02-11T11:14:00.000-06:002009-02-11T11:14:00.000-06:00George's has been around forever, closer to 20...George's has been around forever, closer to 20+ years than 2 years.
