Re: Pizza
Johnny Jo's and Minsky's are my top 2 favs in the KC area. CnB is right tho, the Minsky's hand tossed is top notch.

Re: Pizza
I love Waldo Pizza, especially the St. Louis style. Some hate it, some love it.
Is Sbarro's still around? lol.
Re: Pizza
I like Waldo Pizza, their Local Pig pizza is my favorite.
It's too far to drive for pizza, but if there was ever a pizza worth traveling for....Pizzeria Lola in Minneapolis. If you ever end up there for business this place is the bomb. I love the Lady Zaza. Kimchi, korean sausage, serrano peppers and a soy/chili glaze! Wash it down with some Surly Furious IPA, you can't go wrong.
If you are in Lakewood/Golden/Denver CO area there is Pizzeria Forte. The Combinata is really good. It is traditional ingredients done very well.
If you are on your way out to the Empire and stop in Colo Spgs for the night, go downtown to Bambino's Urban Pizzeria. A good night's sleep in the Springs will help you acclimate before you head up to the Empire. The Spicy Pig, combination of bacon, sausage and Pueblo chiles is great. As always, have plenty of beer on hand to cool your mouth. I highly recommend the Odd 13 Intergalactic Juice Hunter for this.
Unfortunately once you get to the Empire there is no pizza. We bought Pizza Y Mas in November and it is now, Pizza No Mas. The ovens were gone when we got it and the building inside is covered in pigeon shit so nothing left to revive. Annie Oakley thinks she wants to bring pizza back to town but we will see. She has a lot of irons in the fire and some of the others she is more passionate about. I am trying to convince the folks from Continuum Partners that pizza and beer would be a good addition to their new theater in town. I was sent by God. They would be wise to listen to my prophesies and visions.

Re: Pizza
Way back when, Minsky's had a store in Lawrence. It was snowing like crazy one night. My buddy and I were stuck at home with no money, as usual. We managed to round up $16 in pennies and called in for a pizza. We had a little cash for a decent tip.
Took over 2 hours to get the pizza. We'd called several times asking and they kept saying it was on the way. It gets there and we ask the guy in. We showed him 16 columns of 10 rows of pennies stacked 10 high.
He started to say he couldn't accept it. When we showed him that all rows/columns were level and that there were 160 stacks. He laughed, scooped it all into a back and said his a-hole boss had to count it.

Re: Pizza
I was not aware that Minsky's was in Lawrence, left, and is now back there. Thought this version was their first store there.
Anyway, ous, I think Gumby's is long gone.
