Minsky’s Pizza

Amazing pizza i went here for the first time and I absolutely love the pizza here. We ordered medium size Mediterranean pizza and sweet potato fries, both were really too good. Nice ambience. Must go to place, thumbs up!

Always amazing pizza. It really is the best in the city. That said, I do not eat at the location. Service in my experience has always been slow. On weekends there is always a sports team pizza party so be weary of that. Carry out always ends with the best outcome.

Taylor was our sever and she was so prompt, courteous and acted like she loved her job. The pizza perfect as always. Best pizza in town.

The customer service is the worst I’ve ever had. Mike the manager is a raging douche bag. Acted like someone pissed in his Cheerios

Minsky’s is among my favorite places for pizza in KC (along with Johnny Jo’s and Waldo Pizza) and I’ve never had a bad experience with them. The only complaint I have is that it’s overpriced; You’re looking at about twenty-​two bucks (before tip) for a 14-​inch specialty pizza, but significantly more money if you elect to create your own. I often go for the Spicy Thai or build my own with grilled chicken, cream cheese, bacon, and jalapeños. Delicious.

This was so disappointing. The waitress didn’t write down our order. Then brought a salad with cheese and I specifically ask for no cheese. Asked them to add cilantro in place of the cheese. She said they could do that. Finally brought the salad without the cheese but Forgot to bring the dressing. Then when the bill came she charged an extra $ 1.78 for the cilantro. She said its more expensive than cheese. That should have been made clear when we ordered. There we about 5 cilantro leaves – really?Terrible service. We’ve always like Minsky’s but this was ridiculous.

After searching for pizza spots near my accommodations, I settled on Minsky’s, a local KC chain that’s been pumping out pizzas for nearly forty years. I ordered takeout and arrived early, so I decided to sit in the dining area so I could catch some of the NBA Finals on one of their multiple screens. The server was very helpful and had no issue bringing me some of my order and a beer while I waited for the other pizza to finish. The pizza was tasty though nothing to write home about. The service was superb though so I’ll give it four stars for that!

Pizza is terrific. Cheeseburger and Mediterranean are our personal favorites. Nice beer choices. The rest of the menu that is not pizza is pretty forgettable. But you go for the pizza. Service is average.

Get the cheeseburger pizza you won’t regret it. I had the meat lovers, but they call it something different. Also a no brainier. Pass on deep dish. They got it wrong. It’s all crust. This was for the location close to the plaza.

This is my favorite Minsky’s location and Minsky’s is my favorite pizza place in Kansas City. I’ve been going to Minsky’s since I was a young child, and although I’ve tried all the other places, eager to buy the hype of the Spin! s and Pizzabellas and what have you, they just don’t quite do it for me like Minsky’s does.
The State Line location is small, sometimes requiring a small wait, but the staff is friendly and, of course, the food has always been good. The only complaint I have about this location is seasonal — it tends to get VERY hot. Great in the Fall and Winter, but pretty unpleasant in the Summer. Oh, and the magician. That’s another complaint, I suppose, depending on your feelings on tableside entertainment and audience participation (mine are negative), but I’ve only encountered him once. Otherwise, this location is a nice, fairly quiet place to take your family or to watch sports, or combine the two?
On a weekend, I recommend calling in your order in advance. And arriving early. It gets pretty busy and I’d otherwise expect a wait. Other recommendations: don’t count out the sandwiches and the cheese steak or the barbeque chicken pizza. But you can’t really go wrong!

Oh Minsky’s — you were a life saver! I was traveling to KC with the pickiest pizza eaters on the planet. We ordered a couple of their pizzas and a bundle of breadsticks at 9:00 on a Sunday night. The pizza arrived right at the time they quoted and the food was still piping hot.
The crust was soft and delicious and the breadsticks were excellent. The picky three gobbled it up like it was the last supper. Definately going to keep this place on speed dial for future KC trips!

I have never dined in here but we have carried out many times, and we consistently get excellent tasting pizza in a decent timeframe. For example, tonight we ordered two medium original crust pizzas, cheese breadsticks, and three gluten-​free pizzas and they were ready for pick up in *20 minutes*.
Once home, we really enjoyed our food. The cheese breadsticks had a crispy bottom and had a hint of herbs, possibly thyme. The pizzas had an excellent amount of toppings, and they tasted fresh and had so much flavor. Pepperoni had a bit of spice and green peppers were crunchy. I love it when my pizza is enveloped with cheese but isn’t too greasy, and Minsky’s pies fits that bill. And even though I’m not gluten-​free, it’s great that we’re able to have a place where we can get items so that we could have the same meal with family members who can’t have gluten. Prices for these items are a little on the pricey side but that’s the plight of being gluten-​free.
Great Minsky’s location. We’ll continue to give them our business.

Needed a place to eat after an incredibly hot golf game on a sunday night, so we decided to try this Minsky’s location. Natalie was an excellent server and did a great job of taking care of us as well as being friendly and helpful when we placed our order. She could not have done anything better!
We ordered a pizza and salad and we were happy with both of our choices. The side salad was a nice size and fresh. I like Minsky’s pizza in general and this location made an excellent pizza!
We will certainly return and hope to have Natalie take care of us again.

I am originally from the East coast and I know good pizza. The pizza has flavor and the right spice. It definitely does not taste like cardboard as in the chain stores.
The shop is pretty and looks like a family run restaurant. It is very traditional pizza shop

2 friends and I came here after church one Sunday and the entire experience just seemed to be a little off.
After being seated, it took forever for our waitress to come over and take our drink order. Once we got our waters, I found some crumbs in mine (before I even took a sip), but had to wait a very long time for her to come back so I could request a new one. She also forgot our straws.
The «tablecloths» are paper and most places with paper table gave you crayons. No crayons here.
One friend is vegetarian. There are 2 vegetarian options on the menu. Our menu was nasty and sticky. We only got 1 menu to share because apparently they were out.
I ordered breadsticks because I knew the pizza was going to take awhile. The breadsticks were delicious.
The pizza came and it was good, but not special in any way. Editable, but totally forgettable. I think it had tomatoes and almonds on it.
I very much prefer Waldo’s Pizza. Or even Papa John’s. While were at it, Little Ceasar’s, too.

I come to Kansas City a couple of times a year and I always find time to visit Minksy’s Pizza!
The crust is chewy and tender, and the ingredient quality is high, especially the cheese.
My favorite pie is the Papa Minsky’s: sweet sauce, pepperoni, italian sausage, salami, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and parmesan! It’s a combination I’ve never seen elsewhere… and even if you were to get the same toppings, it would’t, couldn’t be the same without the sweet basil laden tomato sauce.
In one of my recent visits, I was reminded of another delicacy they serve: The Five Star Cheese pizza! It’s no ordinary cheese pizza from the alfredo sauce to the bittersweet tang of dried rosemary sprinkled on top.

Alright, so seriously Kansas.
This pizza is overpriced and poor at best. The Fact that I had to spend 20 dollars on a two topping 14″ pie is absurd. I know that I will get some sh*t for this but as someone from NY, I expect a simple pie such as pepperoni and red peppers to be at least satisfactory. This was nothing near that, Dough was soft and overly chewy, toppings were bland and hell, it was 20 dollars for a pizza that could barely feed two! DON’T be fooled!
Go anywhere else or better yet, save 14 dollars and buy a frozen rising crust pizza, you will thank me later.
If you insist on going out though, just go to Waldo, they at least try to put out a nice product.

Love this place. Just about anything on the menu is worth ordering. Their buffalo wings, which are sadly not available at some places, are out of this world. Salad portion is a good size. Makes a nice compliment to any pizza.
Taco pizza is HIGHLY recommended. You won’t be disappointed.

This location has become my favourite. Not only because we live South in the area but because of the staff and consistency.
The wait staff are all excellent — not only are they attentive, they are simply really sweet.
The food is pretty much the same as the midtown restaurant — VERY good. I think their honey wheat crust is the best I have ever had. It is buttery while not being overly heavy. There is a salty sweetness to it that makes it really difficult to eat just half of a calzone (which would be plenty).
I have to say, their salads have been so consistent on their menu over the years that I am surprised and pleased. I appreciate the fact that they got certain things right (Pizzas, Calzones, Salads) and LEFT them that way.
If you want a REALLY reliably great, welcome place to eat. This is your place.

I’ve been hearing about Minsky’s pizza for awhile now because my husband’s family always goes there when they visit his brother in KC. So when I visited, I wanted to try it out!
We dined in and found it not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good and our waitress was really nice and quick on the refills. It’s a little dark in there, but seems clean.
I like that they have 5 different sizes of pizza, including the standard S, M and L, plus a mini (personal size) and a huge 26″ pie. I got a mini because I’m weird and like my pizza with cheese only, no toppings. I got the pan crust. Maybe that was my mistake. It was all bread and seemed like there was almost no cheese on my pizza at all. The sauce was ok, kind of sweet. The crust was decent, kind of buttery. The cheese was standard.
The salad was good, especially with creamy Italian dressing. Fresh and with some toppings like broccoli and also came with a breadstick. They were big — we shared 2 between 6 of us and each ate a bit.
My dining companions ordered a couple different pizzas, speciality style. I think the toppings here set it apart as they have different ones, but the base pizza (crust, sauce, cheese) is just ok for me overall. I’d go back, but I might also have a quest to find the best pizza in KC and am not sure Minsky’s is it. We’ll see!
