Five Favorite Pizzerias in Kansas City
September is busy with school in full swing and the onslaught of extracurricular activities. Cheese Pizza Day is celebrated on Sept. 5, and Pepperoni Pizza Day on Sept. 20. We think these are perfect excuses to enjoy one of our favorite local pizzerias.
The Crown Center location is our favorite when we visit the Coterie, Sea Life or Legoland, but the other locations are just as tasty. If you ask, they’ll give children a free bit of dough to play with (like play-dough) while they wait for their food. In addition to delicious New York-style pizza, they also serve delicatessen quality sandwiches.
Pizza Shoppe is your affordable local option with many locations and a family meal deal for under $20 on Tuesday nights. We love this budget-friendly, family-friendly pizzeria. The “Pink Stuff” is their trademark salad dressing that you may enjoy on a side salad or purchase to take home.
Spin! Neapolitan Pizza is known for their specialty pizzas. With modern, fun decor and pizza prepared right before your eyes, Spin! is both fun and delish! On Sunday, enjoy one free kids meal for ages 12 and under with purchase of an adult entrée.
Waldo Pizza offers multiple locations in the metro. This eatery is known for delicious gourmet pizza, including vegan and gluten-free options. We especially love Monday nights at the 7433 Broadway St., Kansas City, MO, location, where patrons can see a live magician from 6:00 to 8:00.
Located in south Overland Park, Grimaldi’s is the most award-winning pizzeria in the U.S., with fresh ingredients, handmade mozzarella, secret recipe dough and sauce. Enjoy pizzas and calzones baked to perfection in a signature coal-burning oven. Ask for pizza dough for kids to play with while you wait for your pie—so fun!
