“ This place is always a great idea. They will give dough for kids to play with, and the pizza is always good. So glad St. Joseph has a Neapolitan style pie! The wait staff is very kind to kids. ”
“ A great little haunt along the journey. Built in a historical building, former mechanic shop. Maintains some of the original equipment for decor. The pizza is handmade in Neapolitan style, which is a simpler and wood fired method. We had the carne. Unfortunately this particular pizza came out with some burnt areas including blackened pepperoni, which kept me from issuing 5 stars on this visit. Went to the StJoe Missouri location. Plan to try the other location in KC next ”
“ This place is always a delight. The service is great, and the woodfired pizza is excellent. They also have a nicely curated beer and wine selection. The patio seating out back is wonderful, especially on an evening with perfect weather. ”
“ Messed up my pizza and gave me a free one. It great not to go for pizza at a national chain. Local businesses. Great service great pizza ”
“ Amazing pizza and appetizers! Service was great and the atmosphere was welcoming. ”
“ Thanks for the incredibly fast and friendly service! We had only 35 minutes to eat since we had a concert to attend, and although there were about 20 other diners already there when we arrived, our hot pizzas were on the table within 6-7 minutes, and we were able to eat quickly and be out the door within those 35 minutes we had. Highly recommend the Funghi pizza (mozzarella, mushrooms, basil, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt), and you can request pepperoni (or any other meats, ingredients you want....you pay extra, of course, for each addition). The flavor is excellent! The Pepperoni pizza with red sauce (pepperoni, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt – can add spicy honey) is also good, but I am partial to white pizzas, so I order the Funghi with pepperoni. Worth checking out this restaurant for great pizza AND fast service! ”
“ The staff were so friendly and responsive. The pizza and bruschetta that was ordered was delicious. The crust crisp but tender, perfect thickness, and the toppings were generous but not over done. You can tell they use quality ingredients, they shine in every bite. This should be everyone in the areas go to spot for amazing pizza! ”
“ This place is perfect amazing service and even let me make my own pizza they also had a dessert pizza which made me stuffed but have the best lunch of my life and it took less than a minute to make two pizzas I’m amazed everyone needs to come here 5 stars ”
