If you find yourself in Downtown Kansas City, you absolutely cannot miss this beloved restaurant! What makes it so special? First, Milwaukee Delicatessen Company has been around since the Great Depression and has continued recognizing the classics. Second, it's a pizza joint where you can enjoy pizza-by-the-sliced pizza. Each slice is the size of your head, and there are sandwiches, salads, and all the local spirits! Last but certainly not least, their service is pretty darn good. During my most recent visit, the waitress saved me both money and space in my fridge by recommending that I order pizza by the slice instead of an 18-inch pizza. After I placed my order, she returned to the table to inquire about how hungry I was and assured me that one slice would be enough. She was absolutely right; one slice was enough, and I didn't need that much food! I've been procrastinating on writing a review for this place for some time because, honestly, I always leave on such good terms that I forget to put my thoughts into words. Whether you're new to the city or not, swing by this place and enjoy a slice of Kansas City history!

The atmosphere is great. The employees don't give off that friendly vibe. The food has opportunities with flavor profiles.

Cool little place. I love the atmosphere here and the service was great. The homemade tomato soup was to die for. The pastrami was decent but a little too dry. I’ll be back if I find myself in KC again.

Had the pastrami, good flavor but too lean. German data salad was outstanding

Honestly super dissapointed in the food, after hearing nothing but positive things about this place. Server's were friendly. The place itself was nice. But I was not impressed with the food at all.

Definitely have a slice of pizza!
*Editing my review 6 years later to mention this place is one of my favorites in KC. The old fashioneds are amazing. Portion sizes are huge. And all of the food is extremely affordable! Always have great service as well. Such a great spot!!!!

I decided to meet up with friends and family here and was excited to try the place. My party didn’t know I was coming and had already ordered upstairs. I have muscular dystrophy, which makes stair climbing very difficult, and there is no elevator. When my party asked to be seated downstairs so I could join them, the server was rude and said they couldn’t switch sections because it was "another waiter’s area." When asked if my party could assist in carrying me upstairs, the server refused, saying it is a liability. I ended up sitting alone and left without eating. Please do better for your disabled customers.

There are few things better than a Milwaukee Style Corned Beef Reuben, German potato salad, and your favorite draft beer. GREAT sandwich and good selection of local brews.

Loved our lunch today in this cool building with history. Great original KC architecture, yummy sandwiches and kind and helpful service. The salmon BLT and Reuben sandwiches were fantastic, loved the German potato salad and fresh squeezed lemonade too. We followed recs from our server Sawyer and she was spot on. The pizza looks amazing, I’ll try that next time. Thanks for the great meal!

Stopped for a quick dinner while visiting downtown. It's a cool deli/bar close to many hotels. Food is all made fresh to order. The staff was working hard and the sandwiches were great.

This establishment proved to be an excellent choice for a new lunch location. My colleagues and I decided to dine there, and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of service and the culinary offerings. My colleague opted for a substantial pizza slice, which can be customized with a variety of toppings. I highly recommend the turkey panini, which I and another co-worker found to be particularly delectable.
