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.

Very good food, have a whole vegan menu to choose from! The service is fantastic, and the ambiance is very millennial modern

Great pizza love the crust and flavorful topping all pizzas are very good nice young people working and nice patrons as well

Was Recommended this place as we went to toys and miniature museum first. Glad she recommended. My party was going to share a pizza then realized they had a "by the slice option" holy moly this thing is HUGE! And well priced. I got a slice and a bowl of tomato bisque hit the spot for one of the first cooler days in the city.

Great ambiance! Former gas station. The wait staff was super! We stopped in before a show at KC Rep. we each had a slice and shared a salad. The salad was yummy! The pizza slices were HUGE! The pizza was not our jam. The crust was too thick for our taste. The toppings were super. Good sauce. We'd be happy to go back and have a sandwich.

Delicious as usual. Great pizza. Great location and vibe. Nice place to get a slice and a beer

What a hidden gem! The only way I had heard of this place was from the chiefs coach Andy Reid. He spoke highly of the pizza and it looked delicious, decided to stop by Saturday afternoon. The place was so cool for once being an old gas station, DX signage and ton of cool license plates made into decor. I got a slice of cowtown lovers. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had. My husband got slice with sausage pepperoni and mushrooms, we both were blown away by taste and the value for your money. If you have t tried this place, RUN DONT WALK and grab a slice.
