St. Louis Signatures

St. Louis boasts much more than the Cardinals and the Gateway Arch, especially when it comes to food. Known for Italian cuisine, thin-crust pizza and a dessert discovered by accident, these STL staples are found at a restaurant in every neighborhood. Explore our “home-grown” foods and see why they’re must-haves for any visitor or St. Louis native.

  • Toasted Ravioli

    Toasted ravioli is an undisputed St. Louis favorite. Filled with meat or cheese, this breaded and deep-fried version of the classic makes a delicious appetizer or meal and is best enjoyed sprinkled with Parmesan and a side of marinara.

  • St. Louis-Style Thin Crust Pizza

    There’s a special place in every St. Louisian’s heart for a thin crust slice of pie. Topped with Provel cheese, a special blend of provolone, Swiss and white cheddar rarely found outside of the 314, our thin-crust creation is as synonymous with St. Louis as The Arch.

  • Pork Steaks

    Experience the other white meat with this St. Louis barbecue favorite. Whether you prefer it rubbed, brined, marinated or slathered in barbecue sauce, pork steaks are a must-eat when dining in St. Louis.

  • Gooey Butter Cake

    This delicious dessert was created in the 1930s when a local baker unknowingly switched the types of butter used in his cake recipe. A happy accident for St. Louis, the unique sugar-laden mix of butter, cream cheese, eggs and yellow cake is now a namesake dessert.

  • Slinger

    A St. Louis diner standard and Midwest specialty, this savory combination of eggs, hash browns, meat, chili and cheese is perfect for a 4am (or 4pm) craving. You’re sure to find a classic or creative take on this hometown favorite in diners, cafes and restaurants across the city.
