Great memories eating here from my college days, the pizza always hot and made to order. Try Artichoke hearts with sun-dried tomatoes! Outdoor seating in the summer was always fun with a Boulevard beer pitcher. I visit it every time I'm back in KC.

Great pizza. I rated the pizza 4/5 because a 5-star pizza doesn’t exist. Slices are huge. Kid friendly. In fact, this is a place to go with your kids.

Been going here for 15 years. My husband & I both went to UMKC, obviously got slices here countless times. We don't live close by anymore, but when in the area try to stop by. I was in KC delivering donations to a number of places. I had my 2 year old with me, it was a long day. I came by Pizza 51 to surprise my husband later when I got home. The owner/manager/Jason? Took time to be rude to me, tried to be condescending but I'm smarter than that. Usually I've never had a complaint about service here, why does he have to be so rude? Leave it to your nicer employees to work the counter.

Pizza and sub was very good. Italian sausage has great flavor! Would've been 5 stars but the Side Salad had no dressing or utensils to eat it with. Pizza slices are huge! The cost is fantastic for what you get! Definitely would order again if in town! This was a DoorDash order.

Our families, favorite pizza by far. Calzones are also really good here but make sure to save room for a house salad with their “Green“ dressing.

First time trying this place tonight. Got a cheese pizza and some extra marinara for carry out for myself and a few friends. It's a cool little building near the UMKC campus, possibly an old gas station or bank? Anyway, staff were great, whole group agreed that pizza and sauce were both fantastic, especially for the price I paid!

A regular haunt for myself and my friends. Great pizza and great service. Good place to hang out after a day of studying.
Outstanding thin crust crispy pizza. Absolutely recommend it as one of the best in KC. Love the pepperoni. Also a nice outdoor patio and craft beer on tap.

My nephew and I have decided to start trying different pizza places all around KC. We decided Pizza 51 would be our first. It did not disappoint. I had one of the specialty pizzas and he had pepperoni. Sauce to crust ratio was good.
I truely believe that they should have MORE than 5 stars but i digress. I personally prefer making everything from the dough to the sauce from scratch and this not only taste homemade but it taste BETTER than homemade!!(if that was a thing). Every time you take a bite, you not only get the same flavor from the original bite but every bite you take takes you on a journey of different flavors. I could go on and on about the pizza but the other thing you should come here for is the employees/atmosphere. The employees (and owner) will treat you like family as if you’re coming into your own mothers kitchen. Where you get love, conversation, and good food!!! I have plenty more i can say but I not only suggest but URGE you to come try them out today. Ask for the owner because not only is he a wonderful family man and working hard to provide for them but he’ll treat you like he’s your brother or sister. It’s definitely worth a shot. I come from Overland Park Kansas just for the good food and good conversation as well as the family atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!!!Kid-friendliness: YesParking: Your average restaurant amountWheelchair accessibility: Yes

We had a medium pizza which is considered a large at most places. Pepperoni and cheese came out fresh and hot. My family enjoyed

Ordered a slice of new York style cheese pizza which they cut into little squares, which was quite unexpected. This ruined the pizza, they didn't offer to replace or even have napkins. Left with greasy hands. Awful!
