KC Masterpiece is a lot better bbq place than Imos is a pizza place
I dont go there as frequently now but some friends and I started a company there 10 years ago and for quite some time I was going there once a week to consult. So I have spent quite a bit of time there.
as to pizza, i think you are confusing your dislike for provel cheese with the thin crust characteristics of a true st louis style pizza. even in stl there are those who like provel and those who don't. irrespective of cheese preferences i stand by my statement that st louis style thin crust pizza is to die for. i did a search fairly quickly on the worst pizza and it appears that you and one or two others show up in the same thread. to each his own. go to farrotos or bartolinos some time and tell me if i am wrong.
as to bbq, we are famous for st louis style ribs which danny meyer has now taken to nyc. interestingly enough we do not have a famous place to eat those ribs in stl. we are not famous for classic bbq restaraunts like kc. i had the pleasure of eating at arthur bryants in kc two months ago and i can absolutely promise you that there is no place than even compares in stl. that is not to mention gates are the original kc masterpiece. as a point of reference kc masterpiece closed there stl locations in 2005.
