This New York style pizza joint is slowly but surely replacing my go-to in the city, I won't dare mention the name or a local legend (maybe by the name of Stretch or maybe not...) probably will disown me from being a true Kansas Citian. Maybe, its just the fact that the beers on tap at Sully's impress me a lot over the fact that the chipotle ranch there is just the bomb.com but, call me crazy I think I prefer to be Fat over than to be Grinded. The beers are always rotating and the bar at Fat Sully's never seems to be too full, even during a Chiefs game, which in Westport is an anomaly. My favorite beer has to be the Bootstrap Lushpuppy IPA, if you aren't adverse to IPAs that have fruity notes to them then you will definitely enjoy this beer.
Now enough with the yapping about beers and name dropping other New York style pizzerias smack dab in the middle of the Midwest, let us get into the meaty stuff, quite literally and figuratively. The food at Fat Sully's isn't anything too adventurous however, what they do they do well. The "big ass slice" never disappoints especially when it is loaded down with so many quality toppings that it becomes hard to fold in half and eat like a so-called true New Yorker, though I've never met one myself... At Fat Sully's though each topping does cost a whopping 70 cents, which I do find a tad too close to $1 but, they are not shy when it comes to piling on the peppers (or pepperonis) and also having fun toppings like feta and jalapenos, not to mention my personal favorite the adorable mini meatballs, makes making a slice interesting. I have two three topping slice recommendations for the newbie, first would be feta, green pepper and those cute little mini meatballs and the next would be jalapenos, feta and mushrooms (sounds weird but believe me it's delicious.) and don't forget the mandatory sides of spicy ranch that is indeed housemade, not made anywhere near the valley that's hidden.
Hold on though! If a huge slice of 'za doesn't tickle your fancy not to fear...Fat Sully's is also a biscuit bar by day and offers other bar bite staples on the menu such as a kick ass burger and a flavor packed pile of waffle fries covered in scrumptious disco gravy. And, the best part of it is these two dishes are part of their awesome extensive happy hour menu where drafts are $5 and cocktails are $6 and that mouth watering double meat mountain is only $6 as well, but if you are ever craving that burger and it isn't happy hours don't fret because it rings in under $10 anyways. Making that double diner patty style burger sure to coat your fingers with buttery goodness one of my top contenders for best bargain burger in the city. read more
