A blog about Kansas City restaurants and food
My first encounter with Kansas City pizza was as a child growing up in south Kansas City in the 1970s. Shakey’s Pizza on Troost, just north of Bannister Road, was my first experience with restaurant pizza.
I’ve long been a fan of New York-style pizza for years, often making an effort to seek it out locally. I was very excited to hear about the opening of Pizza Tascio in North Kansas City.
I recently stopped by Pizza 51 on a Sunday afternoon, after Comic Con, with my junior review team, the “youth review crew. Pizza 51 has been one of our favorite pizza stops for years, especially during the warm weather months.
Waldo’s style of pizza could be described as “standard pizza house style.” There are no special gimmicks, just lots of options, executed well, with fresh ingredients.
