“Italian Gardens, what can I say? I grew up eating at this place. The meatballs in sauce transported me back to when I was child.❤️I truly enjoyed my sub sandwich and my kids loved the pizza. I am glad I was able to show the kids a slice of my childhood.Thanks John David. It was. Pleasure meet you.“
“We order from here for the first time and the owner (I think owner) was amazing! While we were waiting for our food to finish, he let us try a slice before our meal. Probably one of the best pizza places I have had. And the wingsss, oh my goodness, cooked perfectly as well as sauced. I would definitely recommend!“
“This review will be a long one they deserve the recognition.Big Belly's is a PHENOMENAL restaurant.Pros:The servings are incredible, me and my girlfriend both ordered "small" and it was about regular plating, I imagine the big portion is BIG.For appetizers we got the sampler platter with Mozzarella Logs, Nachos and goat cheese balls with honey. The nacho chips are made in house but in my girlfriend's opinion it was missing either more cheese or a stronger cheese, I found it good as it was. The goat cheese balls are great if you like goat cheese however if they were made smaller I believe the ratio of breading to cheese would be better. The mozzarella logs and marinara were fantastic. :)I ordered the rattlesnake pasta and it was easily in my list of favorite pasta ever. Well seasoned, a tad spicy (the way I like it), and perfectly cooked. We also had the chicken Parm and the flavor was great, the breaded chicken was cooked perfectly, still moist inside. The side risotto that was ordered with it was good too just needed a tad more salt nothing big. We also got loaded BBQ belly fries they were amazing. Not a traditional Julian cut fry they are home made potato discs, the best surface area fry to be loaded with other things.They also help the less fortunate and are a shining example of a proper small business with their heads in the right place.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.Cons (mostly for the owner):Be sure to thoroughly clean and dry all dishes there were no major issues but it was still visible.The garlic bread still needs work. While it is fine it needs more garlic and both sides need to be toasted equally.The atmosphere inside is fine, for now, but the outside needs to be decorated a bit. Adding potted plants and signs to the windows might be a bit tacky but it's a start until you can pretty it up more.Also salt and pepper shakers on every table if possible or ask if customers would like some. I also personally like red chili flakes but that's just my preference not a necessity.“
“We had the East Coast New York Style pizza, and it was honestly one of the best pizzas that I’ve had in KC. The service was great - we were dining in and waited a bit longer to be served our pizza while they were completing a number of carry out orders, so the staff compensated our wait with a free drink. They were so friendly! Will definitely be coming back.“
“We attended a wine/food paring dinner and everything was delicious! The wine selection was great....we came home with a few bottles of new wine. Avery, Hannah and their team are wonderful. So friendly and accommodating, you feel like family when you dine here!“
“Pi Day has always been an excuse for me to enjoy some good pizza. A few years ago, though, my celebration was less than ideal when I ended up with a burnt pizza that wasn't at all what I had hoped for. Despite that mishap, I've continued to celebrate Pi Day, always in search of better experiences.The restaurant was busy, which meant my pizza took a bit longer to prepare than expected. They offered to make up for the wait with a complimentary slice of tiramisu. The tiramisu was an unexpected and delightful bonus.When my pizza finally arrived, the prosciutto mushroom pizza did not disappoint. The combination of flavors was well-balanced, and the pizza was cooked just right, a satisfying meal that made this year's Pi Day memorable.The ambiance made the dining experience feel like I had stepped out of Kansas City and into a small Italian eatery.Can't wait to come back. 4.5 stars.“
“First time eating here last night . My wife and I met another couple for dinner. Small, pleasantly decorated diner/deli style restaurant. The waitress was pleasant, although the kitchen was a bit slow in getting our food out despite it not being too busy. I had the Central Branch Reuben and my wife had the Roast Beef sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals and there were plenty of meat on each one. Neither came with a side, despite costing $12 each. (The online menu says Russian dressing is on the Central Branch Reuben, but their menu I store says Thousand Island, and the sandwich did have Thousand Island on it). We shared a side of German Potato Salad for $2 and it was not bad. We would like to come back and try their pizza. Not a great value when compared with other places , but probably pretty good prices for being downtown.“
“Amazing pizza……. Even more amazing people!! I started to volunteer at an organization which had helped me in the past and I am passionate about. I wanted to throw the residents there a pizza party and contacted Buffalo State Pizza Co. Without hesitation they wanted to help and ultimately donated the pizza for the residents. Glad to know there are people that still care about the less fortunate and willing to help without something in return. Thank you Buffalo State Pizza Co!!!!!!!“
“Sat right in front of the pizza oven. Guy doing pizza tonight was on it! Incredible to watch him sling as many pizzas as he did. We stepped outside to smoke and he was nice enough to put it in the warmer for us ( unneeded but so thoughtful). 10/10 pizza, drank their pub ale which was also fantastic. 10/10 Grinders.“
“You Say Tomato has some fire breakfast casserole let me just say that... Get it with the mushroom and sausage gravy and you won't be disappointed. I need to go back and get their gazpacho. Its a cold tomato soup with veggies in it... its one of my favorites. Its a unique place to go have breakfast or lunch at and the menu is unique just like the place. I'll be back to grab some Gazpacho...“
“I was impressed. Just told the guy to make me something good and they knocked it out of the park. Just the right amount of char on the crust with a good chew. And toppings were great. If you're going to the black box next door for a show, grab yourself a pizza.“
“This place has the greatest atmosphere ever. The servers are all great friends that support each other, and the owners most of all. I got the salmon, blackened, and it truly is one of the greatest meals I’ve had in Kansas City.Cannot recommend this place enough.“
“Fast Service food is superb better than many of the bigger franchises we grew up on. Customer Service A1 where you actually feel like a valued customer. I do not know the guys name that helped us but he was on point and went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Thank you Hope your business thrives . Sky is the limit my friend “
“I've been wanting to come here for a long time. I've been missing out. Thin crust combo pizza was legit. Crispy crust with local famous italian sausage. Veggies were fresh, not canned. The chicken wings had a unique flavor sauce that grew on me and I wanted 6 more (they're the whole wing FYI). Had a pitcher of beer and the ticket was crazy reasonable. Great place.“
“First off the bartenders here are amazing. They are always attentive and great to chat with. For a casual bar they have some exceptional pizza. Also I am personally very happy with a bar that has Coors Banquet Beer as I am not that hard to please on the beer selection side of life.“
“The buffet here is an amazing deal - $12.99/person for access to the buffet and a drink. The salad bar had a wide variety of vegetable and dressing options. The pizza buffet also had some tasty options, but the standout favorite by far was the chicken/bacon/mushroom pasta at the end of the buffet. Overall, this was a great stop for a reasonably priced buffet and some classic greasy pizza.Wheelchair accessibility: The establishment was accessible, but the salad bar ramp was challenging. The accessible bathroom is all the way off to one side of the restroom, but it was quite spacious.“
“Wow! What a find. We were looking for good pizza and as a New Yorker usually nothing compares, well this was incredible!Restaurant was perfectly clean, service was super friendly and pizza was delicious. We couldn’t even take a picture of the whole pie since we were too busy devouring it.“
“I travel for a living and this is the BEST thin crust pizza in America! The cheese…wow! Provel cheese, great service, and low prices make this place great! Also their small pizza is everybody else’s medium. My wife and I can’t even finish a small! We are going their tonight and you should too!“
“I’ve been here a bunch over the past year and have never had a single thing to complain about. The food, drinks, and service are always wonderful and they were so accommodating when we brought a foster dog by to celebrate his 2nd birthday! Our server went above and beyond and the manager even agreed to start putting up flyers for adoptable dogs! Their eagerness to support animal rescue in Kansas City just adds to their awesomeness!“
“Have to give a very very very special shout out to these guys for helping us with our gender reveal! They were so excited to help and did an excellent + intentional job setting everything up for us. They spelled out "girl" for us in pepperoni and it was so awesome.My husband and I had some of our first dates eating minskys and have celebrated many other happy life moments with our favorite minskys pizza and now we got to have this fun moment together thanks to them!Food was 10/10 as always and the customer service was as well! Couldn't be more grateful, THANK YOU!“

“Good pizza for a good price. I tried getting them delivered through grub hub one night but apparently they delivered to the wrong house, so this night I decided to do a takeout order. Pizza had a nice crunch on the bottom and the toppings were fresh“
“Every time my husband and I come here I try to get something different. EVERYTHING is good! You can't go wrong! Nana's home made meat balls are the BOMB! She makes them fresh weekly. Fantastic neighborhood hangout. Never disappoints.“
“Best Pizza ever. Prices are so low for the quality of Pizza. They put more topings on their pizza than any where else. All you can drink soda ?. The staff are so friendly. It's a must go to eat pizza restaurant.Parking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Family restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Easy to get into“
“Great pizza! Got a slice of pizza for the first time here today. It was so good!! It is huge like bigger than your face. you get to pick your sauce and toppings. such a great size. service was really nice and fast. there's a drive thru window thing that you order from outside. it takes about 10 minutes. will be back!“
“The pizza is so thin and so crispy and so delicious! Totally customizable toppings. VERY kid-friendly in topping choices, pizza size, patience and kindness of staff, and general atmosphere. Salads are AWESOME! Cheesy garlic bread is really good, too.Parking: If their lot is full, there's tons of parking all around.Kid-friendliness: VERY kid-friendly. Booths, tables, and high-tops; clean bathrooms; kind and patient staff; fun artwork; stickers!! And tons of food choices.“
“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.“
“The dine in experience was great for our meeting but I would return just to catch up with friends or family over good food. We were served by the owner who is the most humble spirit I’ve met in a while. Definitely a good spend of your dollars. They have daily lunch deals. I highly “
“gives us ALL the cheesy, gooey, deliciousnesson the menu: pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, and martyz special pizzaour thoughts: this was an instant favorite amongst the whole crew! the crust is the perfect cloud texture and the pizza packs a ton of flavor. the jalapeño bacon jam on the martyz pizza is absolute perfection our tip: make sure and give her a follow to see where's she's popping up next, otherwise her brick & mortar location opens soon!“
“The pizza got reheated upon ordering. I don't have any issue with that I just wish it had more sauce. The portion size was amazing and almost the size of my head. The employees there are super nice and friendly and I would definitely recommend this to other “
“Ordered some boxes of sandwiches for delivery for a workshop and the food was great, they called in the AM when they opened to confirm details and agreed to come a little earlier than I could request on the online form so I could get it set up in time for the lunch. Andrew arrived on time and set up for me. Always love their food!“
“We went here for my friend's birthday and we all had a great time! They were able to serve and seat our entire party quickly. The food was way better than I expected too! We were really surprised in the best way.My friends and I are already planning to return to try their happy hour sometime!“
“Wanted pizza but didn't want to wait forever. Hubs and I decided to try Hot Rocks. We were pleasantly surprised. Food was great. I had a calzone. The crust was yummy, not so much dough that was all there was. The crust was more of a thin crust without the hardness. Loved that we didn't have to walk through the bar to eat dinner. We would definitely recommend.“
“This was my first time visiting this SPIN! location and I was really impressed with the ambiance/location. The first thing I thought to myself was that it was probably the coolest SPIN! location I have been too. Once we entered, we were eventually greeted by a very nice gentleman that processed our to-go order for us. The restaurant had a very cozy and almost "local" feel to it as well. The two pizzas we ordered (one being a cauliflower crust) were both cooked perfectly and were devoured as soon as we got back to the house. For being a chain, I really am impressed with the pizza here and cannot wait to come back. Also, thank you for offering a cauliflower crust!!“
“First visit, and I think we've found our new GO TO place in town! Super friendly staff, huge menu selection available, great location right off the train/tram/light rail thing. Great atmosphere, our whole group enjoyed. Will most definitely be returning, keep up the good work!“
“My family LOVES this place! All of the food is amazing! Ambiance is fun and relaxed, and the service is awesome' The pizza from fat sully's is our ABSOLUTE favorite..if you're looking for a real NY style pizza this is IT!! My New Yorker said it's the closet to home he's had in the Midwest!! Don't miss out!“
“First time picking up from this location. Friendly staff. Great location. Excellent taste.Only issue is that i used their website and it sent me past the North Kansas City location to this one. So be sure to double check the suggested location before completing your orders.“
“The restaurant's shrimp dish is a winner – succulent, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The flavors are a delightful balance, with a hint of freshness from the accompanying herbs. It's a seafood delight that leaves a lasting impression.Parking: Good“
“Y’all need to go see these decorations! This specific place has become such a comfort for me due to the staff and care into the store itself. Genuine guys there all around, amaaaazing food. Strong community vibes and I think it’s wonderful!“
“I called into Johnny Jo's on a Friday night, as I was in the mood for pizza. The restaurant shuts down in the afternoon and doesn't open back till 5, so if you place an order around opening, it will take about 45-50 minutes to be prepared. When I arrived to the pizzeria, I was greeted by the friendly cashier at the front. She went to grab my pizza, which gave me a moment to look at all the unique pizza themed decor. I was blown away by the size of the New York style slices when I opened the box. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't cut all the way through, so I had to grab a pizza cutter and finish the job on my own. The pizza crust was thick and crispy, but also thin where it mattered, perfect for folding. The amount of sauce and cheese was well balanced, but not enough for me personally. I'll get extra sauce and cheese next time around! I loved the combination of pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and onions. Next visit, I'd like to try something with tons of meat piled on! **There was a bucket of free bracelets near the cash register, and I snagged a very cute one! (See picture)“
“We had a group of 8 and we are a pretty ornery bunch. Our sever was wonderful the orders all came out exactly how they were placed and made numerous trips back and fourth when we would forget to ask for something. She kept a smile on her face ( a real one not a fake one) and treated us with such courtesy.“
“My family and I were craving pizza, so we headed out to Minskys. While we were driving there, it started to snow. Minskys was understaffed due to the road conditions, yet they made us feel welcome and took good care of us. We kept warm and had a great lunch. Thanks so much Minskys!!!!“
“A local neighborhood bar w great atmosphere for watching the Chiefs games. Played flag poker, didn't win but fun none the less. We went Friday evening after getting into town & returned to watch the Sunday game. Great Chiefs bar!! Wait staff was friendly and attentive!“
“Haven't had this pizza in more than 40 years. And I remember it being so good. Have it another try recently since moving back home and now I know why I loved it so much. Breadsticks are awesome but they don't give you enough marinara sauce and want to charge you .99 for another tablespoon. Otherwise great pizza.“
“Got delivery and the pizza was ok. For a specialty pizza and the price I paid, I expected a bit more. The crust was a bit well-done and the toppings were scarce. Their saving grace was the salad which was fantastic. Unfortunately, they did not include utensils in my bag which was a minor inconvenience, especially for a takeout order.“
“The pizza here crushes every other Papa John’s around. They cook the pizzas perfectly and they get them out quick.The manager seems like he can be a bit of a hardass to the employees but is generally nice to all the customers. They guys that make the pizzas are the real MVP’s here. I haven’t had a bad pizza from this location in several years. I’ll go here over the Wornall location every time.“
“They took the time to make our pizza how we needed it, as vegans, and they were very attentive to my allergy requirements! The amazing energy and absolutely delicious pizza was worth the insanely affordable price for a pizza that customizable! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for my first great vegan pizza experience!Vegetarian options: They have an entire list of vegetarian items.Dietary restrictions: They can help you with gluten free as well as vegan if you ask.Kid-friendliness: Arcade games, very kid friendly, friendly staff...Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps, wide doors, booth with wide openings between the seating, where wheelchairs can fit under to use the table as well, and a lot of space in the aisles between tables to allow for safe movement.“
“To me the best pizza in Kansas City for years! Great staff ! That Tuesday sandwich special is wonderful and great fries , Philly cheese on a great bun! But the best is the Prime Cut Pizza , Original Crust Bacon on top!!! Wow it's the best Pizza in KC ! That's for real!“
“I love, love, love this Papa Murphy's location. They know I'm a regular. They're cordial. They're fast and friendly. My daughter doesn't like any other pizza. Tryst me. I've tried almost every pizza place in the city“
“We had an issue at the beginning of the meal but the manager handled it very well. We were thankful for the help and our waiter was one of the best I’ve had! I was unsure about eating here at first because of the issue but now I’m going to be coming back very soon!“
