Imo’s Teams With Red Hot Riplets for Most St. Louis Pizza Ever

By Andrea Arnold On Mar 8, 2024

It’s difficult to think of two brands that say “St. Louis” more instantly than Imo’s Pizza or Red Hot Riplets. One offers St. Louis-style pizza that outsiders love to hate almost as passionately as locals (sometimes grudgingly) admit to loving. The other offers only-in-St. Louis spicy barbecue chips so tasty, they’ve actually inspired shower curtains (yes, really) .

And this coming 314 Day — that’s Thursday, March 14, for all who celebrate — they’re teaming up on a collaboration that could break the Internet, or at least the St. Louis corner of it.

Buy an Imo’s Pizza and they’ll throw in a free bag of Red Hot Riplets.

Yes, it’s simple. But whether you’re eating the chips as a side or crushing them up and putting them atop your Imo’s, the combination is intoxicating (or, in the words of a friend who’s tried the crushed version atop a piping hot Imo’s, “weirdly good”).

The deal is one day only and good only if you purchase a large or extra-large pizza. Give your local Imo’s a call next Thursday to cash in.

BJ’s Bar & RestaurantThe charmingly old-school BJ’s Bar & Restaurant (184 West Washington Street, Florissant) has the distinction of having been honored multiple times for serving the best St. Louis-style pizza in the region — without actually using Provel. That’s right, the cheese here is mozzarella, but the sweet sauce and thin-crusted square-cut pies means we’ll still count it. The crust here is the star of the show, with a flaky crispiness reminiscent of a non-pizza pie. Delectable.
