    Enjoyed this food in between doctors appointments as it is close to hospital hill. The pizza and sandwich were alright. The pizza's Cheese and crust were good. We didn't love the sauce. We would come again and try other options as everything smelled so good and the ingredients were definitely fresh!

    So my daughter and I had a craving for some good old NY style pizza. I told her this spot has been my goto. We called in our order on our last errand if the day. We got the Don Pepe 14, no feta. One half added Italian sausage which was the best ingredient to add to pepperoni m, spinach, Roma tomatoes with roasted garlic & parmesan. Yep it was as good as it sounds!

    Would have been higher but...The guy that took our pizza ordered was friendly and helpful to answer the few questions that we had. The first of our group asked about ordering a beer and he told us we order those at the bar. About half of our group of 6 had ordered and went to order beers when the bartender said bar was closed. I checked and they were open for another hour. Which would be fine but about 20 min later the bartender made a mixed drink for someone sitting at the bar. The Staff was also seemed very eager to get out of there and didn't seem to care that there were still people coming in to order after us.

    Five star pizza and vibes! Too bad the bar closes 30 min before posted closing time & staff def in a hustle to get out of there on a week night. But the pizza was fire!!

    Hands down really good pizza! Even better that they let you do split pizzas. Quick service for a made to order perfection of a pizza. Plenty of seating with bar service. Long tables for bigger groups make for the perfect Ambiance.

    Solid location and great pizza! I love that you can get pizza by the slice here and the slice is HUGE! The don pepe is my personal favorite! When I have an event in the crossroads, this is my go to place for dinner. It's quick, easy and the pizza is so good! I've never brought my family here but I should cause it seems like a great place for families, even with small children! Love that it's an indoor/outdoor place too!

    Awesome pizza place in Crossroads. You place your order at the counter and then take your number to find a table. They have pretty big space, so it's usually not too hard to find a spot. Order drinks at the bar. Great place to hang out on First Fridays -- there's sometimes live music on the back patio, and it's a great place to people watch in the middle of all the action. You can order by the slice, which means everyone can get exactly what they want! The slices are huge! They have lots of tasty signature options, and you can even get two different signature flavors on either half of your pizza! The crust is crunchy, and the toppings are flavorful! There's usually street parking on weekdays, but finding a spot nearby can be challenging on weekends when it's busy in this area of Crossroads!

    The pizza I got was NOT NY pizza., Billy the Kid, I believe. The crust was not evenly rolled out resulting in a crust that broke at the widest to thinnest edges of the crust. Also cheese tastes very different in the northeast due to the milk cow's diet, which consists of different grasses, soil pH, etc. so if you're a New Yorker don't think you're going to get that quality you've grown accustomed to. Light sauce which was good but I know most like a little more. Flight cheese and under cooked crust. I "might" try again but there are much better options in Westport and the Northeast side of town. Beer was good n cold, salad was premade with very hard bought croutons. The house made garlic lacked garlic flavor and I'm not convinced the oil used was olive oil, tasted more like veg or cheaper EVOO.

    We were very excited to finally try Buffalo State but sadly it did not hit like we expected. Breadsticks were very good. Crust was thick and crunchy edges and well seasoned. The Maverick pizza- toppings and sauce were good but the crust was very disappointing. Thin and crispy with little flavor. Atmosphere was ok pretty retro with games and seating. Great happy hour pints were $5 with wide variety of beers on taps. As for service you order at the bar and pizza and drinks came quick.

    First time here and I really enjoyed it. It could be easy to miss this place from the front (it kind of blends in) but once you get inside, it's got good character and nice decorations. The menu has a lot of variety so it can be tough to choose. I was very hungry and a single slice and small Caesar was enough to fill me up. Both had good flavor. Didn't talk to the staff much but they seemed friendly enough.

    I ordered a slice online and selected "no red sauce" due to a food allergy. The receipt clearly showed no red sauce, but the slice still came with red sauce and was completely inedible for me. When I mentioned it to the staff, I was told that all slices come with red sauce and nothing was done to make it right. I paid about $8 for food I couldn't eat and left and disappointed. What's especially concerning is that the online ordering system allows sauce customization for slices, which is misleading and unsafe for people with allergies. I was really excited to try this place, but this experience unfortunately completely missed the mark.

    Wow! I have been following this place on yelp for over a year and finally got here tonight. We were blown away by the food! We got The Vinnie Italian sandwich, and it was unbelievably good! The bread was perfectly toasted, it was served warm and contained a very good amount of high-quality meat and the perfect amount of dressing and vegetables. This may be the best sandwich I've had in town. Then we also shared a slice of The Stockyard pizza. Absolutely amazing! The sausage is perfectly flavored and the ground beef is not greasy and delicious. The pepperoni is cupping, but not crispy burnt which is how I like it. We can't wait to come back here and work our way through the menu Buffalo State Pizza is a gift to our community.

    This place was very good. Great atmosphere inside that was unique and different. I highly recommend this spot if you're in the KC area and looking for some fire pizza. My wife got the sandwich and she said that was also really good. I mean look at the photo of it, it just looks scrumptious.

So we loaded up and showed up one day around Noon. Ambiance was really cool. It's in the middle of some sort of progressive looking shanty-esque suburb. The kind of place that does drag queen bingo. I was right at home. Inside was college sport bar, but with a nice, huge board on the wall of all their beer selection. It Was quite expansive. Service was top notch, too. Nice server took care of us, made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out at a good clips, and we got an unexpected bonus of free little beignet-like donuts with some delicious dipping sauces. As for food, we started off with a jumbo order of the Truffle Parmesan Hand-Cut Fries for the table. We got to choose two from their extensive list of aioli dipping sauces. Fries were good. Dusted with the perfect amounts of truffle and parmesan. And the sauces were my oh my. I recommend paying the upcharge to just try them all. I mentioned the time earlier, because we had no idea we were stumbling upon their brunch menu. Even more options to choose from! I got the Crispy Waffle Smash Burger (smashed hertzog beef patties, fried egg, smoked bacon, merkt's cheddar, caramelized onion, maple aioli, crispy buttermilk waffle). This thing was really nice. Perfect waffle, not too small, not too big, and no oily or anything obtrusive. A nice bun option. Eggs and bacon sometime get lost against giant burger patties, but with these smash patties, the extra accoutrements really stand out and make this burger really stand out in my mind. I also for the try the Smokestack Burger (smoked burnt ends, smoked gouda, whiskey bbq glaze, pickle relish, chipotle aioli & crispy jalapeño straws). Uhhh, as you can read, this thing was loaded with goodness. Fatty burger, smokey burnt ends, sweet boozy glaze, acidic pickles, and texture from that jalapeno. This was the perfect burger. I insist you order this. Overall, my research did not reveal Beer Kitchen to me, locals recommendation did. Shows that you gotta use your street smarts instead of your book smarts sometimes. Best meal I had in Kansas City.

The bartenders are always amazing, and are up for offering a sample if you're between a few options. They are always patient with me as I make my decisions! The ambiance is very chill, with pool and lots of tvs that are showing everything possible. They do trivia every Wednesday, and that is a great time! My only complaint is that the place can get pretty loud because of the acoustics, but when it isn't super busy (or if it is nice outside) that is ideal! Last but not least, they have a Nightmare Before Christmas party day, which includes a beer goblet and a series of special beers each year. How can I not support a place that celebrates my favorite movie?! Thanks, iTap for helping me celebrate great movies and everyday moments!
