Your Pick for St. Louis' Most Overrated Pizza Is...

overrated_pizza_poll_results.jpg
Of course, you are free to interpret Imo's victory ("victory"?) however you like. Seems to us these are the most plausible interpretations:

1) Of course Imo's is overrated. St. Louis-style pizza is terrible, so by definition the fact that it's popular at all means it is overrated.

2) This poll is a sham. Imo's shouldn't have been included in the first place. It's not overrated or underrated. It's just a fact of St. Louis life. Newer, trendier, hipper, etc. places are what we should mean by "overrated".

3) Gut Check sucks. You guys hate Provel and just did this to have another excuse to slag Imo's.

We welcome alternate theories in the comments. Also welcome in the comments: Your suggestions for what Underrated/Overrated category we should cover next. (See below for the ground we've already covered.)

"Local" pizza is like local barbeque or local chili styles / preferences - if you grew up with something, no matter how odd or "wrong" it may be to "outsiders", there's still a certain amount of indefinable comfort food that remains.  It's not rational, so it's an argument you'll never win . . . .

St. Louisans will never miss an opportunity to show how unique and freethinking they are by hating on Imo's. Shooting fish in a barrel requires more effort.

Just had BT pizza Friday and it was delish! Imo's should pair a different sauce with provel.

I'm going to make some enemies here, but Faraci's is the most overrated pizza in STL.

How about most overrated Food Truck? Then, of course, most underrated.

@ellav8or Food truck is a definite possibility. My only concern is that the pool of potential nominees is still pretty small.
