Pie Five Pizza Co.

Well, had heard very good things about Pie 5… I think they have been open about a month, so the hubby and I decided to try it today. Went in on a Monday afternoon around 3pm, so there was 1 other table in there. The décor was nice, but tables were pretty dirty. Hubby ordered their 5 Star Pizza (their version of a supreme) with a pan crust, as was recommended. I ordered a pan pizza with pepperoni and black olive. Food was very fast and staff was nice enough. As we expected, when trying to cook a pizza in 5 minutes, the pizza was not very hot. The hubbys was lukewarm at best towards the center of the pizza. Thinking mine, with a lot less toppings, would be better, I was sadly disappointed. The pizza flavor was OK, nothing special. But I was hoping for something much better than what I got. I left about half the pizza on my plate and we left. Can think of much better pizza options in wichita, probably won’t return.

My experience at this Pie Five was overall positive. Good service, good food, good kids meal options.
If you haven’t been to this kind of pizza place before, you need to try it. Think «Chipotle,» but it’s pizza. You pick the toppings, they pile on all you want, then it cooks hot and fast and is ready after you’ve paid out. Oh, and under $ 10 even if you get a drink. This takes all of the compromise out of pizza.

* This review is for the weary traveler, NOT the local who likes to go here*
First and foremost — the service was good. The employees did their jobs and are not to blame for his negative review at all. I truly hate leaving negative comments because I believe it may affect the employees lives who are not to blame. But I feel I must, for those who are here working hard or in a class… Tired, and missing their loved ones. Craving a slice of great pizza to comfort them.
That was me. Searching Unilocal for some pizza comfort food. After working 12 hours a day for the last 8 days straight, and a long flight before that… I didn’t have much energy either. I found this place. And called for an order. They told me that they do not take orders over the phone for take out. Managment of Five Pie Pizza… Are you INSANE!!! I have never heard of such a thing!!! Especially a PIZZA place!!! How pretentious can you be??? So I drive the 5 min from my hotel, and walk in on a line ½ long. The clock begins. From the time I walked in until the time I was ring out was exactly 19 minutes and 27 seconds. Again — the employees did nothing wrong. That’s just what it took to get all those ahead of me done. If I could have called in my order, this wouldn’t be a problem.
As for the pizza, it was ok. This is an «artisan» pizza place, reminiscent of the old days when I used to go to Pizza Hut. If you’re looking for a slice of NY pepperoni pie to remind you of home… Look elsewhere. If you’re tired from your long trip, or hard day at work, and don’t have the energy to wait for your pizza to be made in front of you… Look somewhere else. The only major complaint I have is that they used the same slicer to cut everyone’s pizza without cleaning it in between. White, red, meat, or vegetarian — it all gets cut with the same slicer. I am very very sensitive to the taste of peppers, which I hate. And there was a very slight taste of peppers on mine from cutting someone else’s who ordered them.
Five Pie Pizza… Change your ways.

Thought the idea and the pizza was good! Gourmet style thru a line… Only negative was the pizza was cold before I ate it all. Salad and desert was very good too. In my opinion pizza needs tv and tv needs pizza. Maybe it was just me wanting to watch the games.

Love this place! Be sure and take advantage of their rewards card! It pays off! Going tomorrow for lunch. Can’t wait.

It’s a subway but with pizza. Nothing to rave about and ingredients are just out of the freezer, crust was not very good either. My kids like it, but if you like good pizza I would recommend it.

Perfect. Just perfect. 6.99 and you get whatever you want. The service here was good but the food blew me away. This place needs to expand and go everywhere. Id go here over most restaurants. Also it was very quick!

I had the most amazing pizza there. It was the five star and It was to die for. My mom and I went in excited about trying the new place on ridge road and were pleasantly surprised. Speedy service and friendly employees. The manager was so nice. We asked if they did call in and pick up orders and he politely informed us that they didn’t. We reviewed online and it was a great experience. I look forward to going there again some time soon.

The restaurant always seems to be clean every time I go. Great selection of sauces, pizza crusts and toppings. You can pick out a dessert while only waiting mere minutes for your pizza to bake. They also have a few different bottled beers to select from if you need a cold one to help wash the pizza down. The staff is always friendly and attentive as well. I’ve taken a few coworkers here who haven’t been before and now this place is on all their short lists when it’s time to go out for lunch.

I love Pie Five! I have never had a bad pizza there. Just don’t ask for too many toppings, or it might not cook thoroughly.

I giving them one less star for their ability to get through their assembly type prep when it’s busy. The quality and selection is great, but it is also the down fall when one person is preparing the selection of sauces, topping, and all the extras. I believe it would work better with two people working on pizzas.

Plenty of great choices (several crusts, many veggies), very reasonable prices ($ 7.49 with any amount of toppings), and fast, though not overly friendly service. I had the whole grain thin crust, garlic olive oil sauce, spinach, cheese, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and caramelized onions. Wish I had also added minced garlic, but I didn’t see that option until after I was done.

Pie Five satisfied my need for a quick meal near the airport. I had just flown into Wichita and had grand plans to run errands on the east side of the city, but I landed an hour late and had to hurry back to MHK. Pie Five was just north of the airport so I finally got to try it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
There are 4 choices of crust alone for the custom $ 6.99 pie. I got the classic pan, spicy marinara, spinach, the mozzarella blend and ricotta, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, caramelized onions, and jalapenos. The combo was great, and the wait for a pizza was relatively short.
However, though the ingredients were tasty, the pizza was uneven in temperature. The ricotta was cold, the sauce was hot, and it was not quite what I expected — I just wanted it all to be hot. Since there is a machine that it runs through over the 5 minute period, there did not appear to be a way to get it heated a little more, so I just ate it and left so I could have sustenance for my drive back. I would be willing to give it another try. It is A-​OK.

Loved this place. Great value for money. Excellent service. Pizza’s were delicious. Love all the extra options too.

I love Pie Five pizza, but I’ve had some issues at this location that I haven’t had other places.
The last three times I’ve been here they’ve been out of key ingredients. I could understand running out of a topping, but not running out of sauce for some of the signature pizzas. One time they didn’t have lettuce to make any of their salads!
The service is sketchy too, and the quality of the pizzas goes downhill during busy times. If there’s a line, they just slap toppings on the pizza without much care.

It’s good nice people good service clean quiet I’ll b back up there my pizza was very good I had the pie 5 pizza very tasty I must say lol

The idea is great. The pizza topping were cold for several in our party. Probably will not go back.

This is place has been pretty busy when I go for lunch. It’s probably a 15 – 20 minute wait before you get to order, but once you order it’s pretty quick. I had the regular crust and the thin grain crust. I prefer the crunchy yet chewy texture of the regular crust. The portion is too big for me to finish for lunch but it’s still tasty to eat later! I also enjoyed the dessert. Overall, this place satisfies my pizza cravings for a good price and good portions.

Finally found a time when they were not too crowded. First off work stations and dining area was filthy. Next: top ice machine cover fell off on customer ahead of us, teenage employees did not seem too concerned. Tried to get ice for my drink and no ice would come out, employee told us we would have to wait for the ice maker to catch up and drop ice, this took 5 minutes or better, half finished with our meal by this time. Observed employee standing at drink dispenser filling his cup and then drinking it, then filling it up again and continuing to stand there and drink. Cardinal sin in the restaurant world! Pizza was ok, but not worth all the problems. Won’t be back.

I am so thrilled that we now have pie five!
The pricing seems very reasonable when looking at comparable restaurants. Pizzas are $ 6.99, with the option for a kids pizza being less.
The employees have been great every time I have been in. They are ready to explain, help, and offer suggestions based on your taste!
Wonderful place to eat!
