A KC Cheeses’ Guide: The Best Pizza in Kansas City
Who doesn’t love pizza?
I love pizza, and I love Kansas City, so what’s better than listing 10 of the most amazing pizza shops in KC? I hope you try these delicious slices and truly enjoy yourself! The below are listed in no specific order.
#1 Waldo Pizza
Waldo, KCMO
Quiz your family with Trivial Pursuit cards, swoop by the salad bar, snag a beer and sit down to some amazing pizzas.
Whether you love a St. Louis style or a honey wheat crust (and anything in between) you'll be in heaven with Waldo Pizza's options. My tip? Dip that honey wheat crust into extra honey!
#2 Minsky’s
18 Locations throughout Kansas City
Minsky's is one of my all time favorite pizza joints. The beer and drink options are fabulous and the topping options are even better. Just trust me... they have 18 locations for a good reason.
Two words: CREAM. CHEESE.
#3 Johnny Jo’s
West Plaza, KCMO
Stone oven pizza served as large pies or by the slice, cuddled up in a tiny little shop in West Plaza. By the slice allows you to try all of the interesting flavors - like lasagna or tomato & artichoke. They now have a location at Parlor in the Crossroads.
#4 Il Lazzarone
River Market, KCMO
Neapolitan-style wood-fired pies paired with craft cocktails, wine, beers on tap in a hip, casual space. Dine indoors or on the patio. My favorite pizza is the Uovo - mozzarella, salami, Farm fresh egg, sea salt and seasonings – Dive right into this popular pizza and don’t be afraid to dip your crust into the delicious runny egg!
#5 Moretina’s Caddyshack
Columbus Park, KCMO
I'd heard many things about Caddyshack's pizza, and when I finally gave it a try… it blew my mind! Every single app and every single pizza was killer… and this was all at 1am! You’ve gotta go. The cheese pulls are out of this world. Thanks to all who have recommended Caddyshack to me!
#6 d’Bronx
Overland Park + Mission, Kansas
One of a few amazing, authentic New York-style delis and pizzerias on this list! Salads, soups, sandwiches and slices galore make d'Bronx heavenly for those that like choices! The locations have plenty of seating to sit and enjoy your lunch or dinner.
#7 Providence Pizza
Westport, KCMO
Sicilian style is my new favorite pizza... especially their “Famous Rick Lang”: pepperoni, mozzarella, Mike’s hot honey with a sesame seed crust. The sesame seed crust is like I’ve never had before - so crunchy with perfect texture. PLS TRY IT. I beg of you.
#8 Martin City
6 Locations throughout Kansas City
Martin City not only has great beer and a cozy atmosphere, but delicious savory and sweet pizzas. On the sweeter side we have the "Apples in Italy" which features apples, goat cheese and candied pecans. You can build your own pizza or choose a signature red sauce, white sauce, BBQ sauce, pesto, or even peanut sauce pizza!
#9 Fat Sully’s
Westport, KCMO
EEEP! I am ecstatic to share with y’all one of my FAVORITE places in KC right now! I love their cocktails and beers, their NY style slices and their HUGE 26 inch pizzas (have you seen those?!)! You've just gotta start with some of their loaded garlic knots before you chow down on your slice.
#10 Milwaukee Deli
Downtown KCMO
I’m in love with the pizza and sandwiches at The Milwaukee Delicatessen Company. They are -next level- delicious and satisfying. If you haven’t had food from Milwaukee Deli in Downtown KC, stop everything you are doing and GO, NOW! I mean it. Add it to your list. It has the most beautiful bar and tables... even the floors! Historic...
