    Thin-crust St. Louis pizza cut into squares with Provel cheese

    A thin, cracker-like crust topped with tangy Provel cheese and cut into small squares.

    The Gateway City’s square slice

    Ultra-thin, cracker-crisp crust, sweet sauce, and Provel — a processed cheese blend that’s St. Louis’s signature, cut party-style into squares.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, water, and olive oil; knead 3 minutes. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
    2. Preheat the oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or steel inside.
    3. Roll the dough paper-thin and transfer to a cornmeal-dusted peel.
    4. Spread a thin layer of sauce, sprinkle with oregano, and top generously with the Provel and Parmesan.
    5. Bake 8-10 minutes until the crust is cracker-crisp and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Cut into small squares and serve.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Provel is the essential ingredient — it's creamy, tangy, and melts differently than mozzarella. Roll the dough as thin as you dare; crispness is the goal.
