About Imos Pizza
Crafting authentic pizza experiences in Philadelphia since 1985
Our Story
What started as a family dream in a small Philadelphia kitchen has grown into a beloved local institution.
Founded in 1985 by Marco and Sofia Imenez, Imos Pizza began with a simple mission: to bring the authentic taste of Italy to the heart of Philadelphia. Using traditional recipes passed down through generations, we've been serving our community with passion and pride for over three decades.
Every pizza that leaves our kitchen is made with the finest ingredients, hand-tossed dough, and the same love that Marco and Sofia put into their very first pie. Today, we continue their legacy by combining traditional techniques with modern innovation to create unforgettable dining experiences.
