STLPIZZAGUY reveals results of the Provel cheese survey
A few weeks ago I called a local St. Louis-style pizza place to order a pepperoni pizza and the employee asked if I would like my pizza with Provel or Mozzarella cheese. This previously unheard of question at a local St. Louis-style pizza place (Imo's) made me wonder, so I created a little survey.
The two main things I sought to measure were whether people liked Provel cheese and if they preferred mozzarella or Provel on St. Louis-style pizza.
RESULTS OF THE PROVEL CHEESE SURVEY
Stlpizzaguy asked 50 people whether they liked Provel Cheese. 70 percent of people surveyed liked Provel Cheese. But only 66 percent of people surveyed preferred Provel cheese on their St. Louis-Style pizza. The other 1/3 preferred mozzarella.
Approximately 70 percent of the people who took the survey identified as St. Louis natives, identical to the amount that said they liked Provel Cheese. Coincidence?
One preference I did take into account is that many people like a Provel/Mozzarella Mix. Pasta House is one example of a restaurant that uses a mixture between the two cheeses.
The survey had a few limits. There were not as many willing or opinionated participants as I thought, but among the haters of Provel, they were wordsmiths of high degree to match Shakespeare's hilarious descriptions.
Top 3 Funniest descriptions of Provel:
1. Eating provel cheese is akin to that high school science experiment where you melt styrofoam in acetone. Its slimy, gritty, unnatural, and if you let it sit too long, it hardens and ruins whatever its on.
2. Open-faced PVC pipe sandwich
3. Cheezwiz on cardboard
3. It has an awesome creamy cheese taste you don't get with mozzarella.
Top 3 positive descriptions of Provel:
1. Perfection
2. Unique flavor versus stringy flat mozzarella. Combined with the thin crust, makes for a great dining experience.3. It has an awesome creamy cheese taste you don't get with mozzarella.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED.

I enjoyed collecting pizza boxes from Dewey's, Serra's, and Imo's. They are three places I highly recommend along with Stefanina's of course!
