First off the pizza is as delicious as i remembered. Used to come here in high school when there was a band and the place was packed. And ok it's a dive and could use a good cleaning. But there's a lot of nostalgia here. Could it be great again? Sure.. and if you are in town for the World Cup and want to grab a great slice, cheap beer and a piece of Americana, then it's your place. Get the combo with black olives and onions, it's super. read more

I use to go to the one in Raytown and I really miss the pizza so I decided take my granddaughter to this location. The pizza was a little different but still close enough to satisfy my love for funhouse pizza. We got the cheese garlic toast and a medium pizza and I think we will be back. read more

Have always loved Fun-House because of their special yeast crust. Now they use something cheap in it just like gas station pizza. No more classic Fun-House flavor. Side of onion rings is a joke read more

My husband and I met family to celebrate monthly birthdays. Each family (15-20 people in our group) received their orders one after the other in about 30-40 minutes. It was busy and we understand that. Everyone had finished up with their pizzas so my husband went up to check on ours. He was told it will be another 10 minutes. 10 minutes went by and I went up to check and see about getting a coupon or certificate for our next visit, since we weren't able to eat with the rest of the family. The girl said "we don't do that, it's either wait for your pizza or get a refund". I waited to speak to older woman and she was also "that's the way it is, take it or leave it". I asked for the refund and our pizza was slapped on the counter in front of me. I was confused and asked do I take this now? She said no, you wanted the refund. I sure did and won't be back. One family member said prices have gone up and toppings are skimpy. Another family member said getting a beer is a problem as one certain crew member has to go off into another room to retrieve it. Lousy policy or customer service, probably a little of both. read more

Been going to this location for more than 40 year. After Bryan Rushton passed away, the quality steadily went downhill. It got so hit and miss on quality that we just stopped going. Then the Raytown location closed down. We decided we'd go back and try it again. They weren't even open the night we wanted to go. The night we did get back, the pizza wasn't even close to what it used to be. Extremely disappointed. They've run a great Pizza place into the ground. Truly sad what they've done to this location. We now go to the ones in Lees Summit or Blue Springs. read more

Pizza not worth the money! Ingredients lacking but prices increase. Not the same amply dressed pizza of yesterday. Some of us are willing to pay an increased price for the great pizza of the past. Sad it isn't available. read more

The last two times I have ordered a large combo it has not tasted the same. The ingredients are skimpy and not the classic Fun House flavor. The Blue Springs store has always served the classic product and delicious. I'm not sure about the Lees Summit location, but I will drive there next time to avoid the 40 hwy bad pizza. I won't go back to 40 hwy Fun House again. read more

Picked up our $60 (2pizzas) to-go order last night and this was not the pizza we "had" loved. It was tasteless, lacking in toppings,and they had substituted canadian bacon with some other weird meat. It was awful and so disappointing. read more

Best pizza around for sure!!!Staff is so nice and love the menu, lots to pick from. 50 years at same location. There's a reason why!!!!!!! read more

Another place I've been to since I was a kid. Great food. Love the Brody Nacho Pizza, it's my personal favorite. The crust is different, than all the Big Chain restaurants, they are family owned. Service is great, & personal. If you want to eat here, you can order over the phone, or walk in. No DoorDash/Uber Eats. They are old school, that's what makes them personal. The atmosphere, is what you expect. They have a pinball machine, quarter machine's w/ miscellaneous toys, candy, motorcycle & a car for the kids to 'ride'. read more

walk into the place and before you can adjust to the outdated atmosphere, you are assaulted by the smell of frying bologna. The cheese is not smooth and stretchy it is clumpy and rubbery. stay away and buy a red baron. Don't try complaining because no one cares. read more

Our large group had a CONFIRMED reservation however upon arrival, they didn't have our tables available. After talking to the gal up front, she basically said there's nothing she could do. Not only RUDE but not how you treat a customer. We asked for the manager and was told not available. We had to name one vultures waiting for others to leave to obtain chairs and swooped in on a dirty, unbussed booth in order to have room for our party. After getting our own cloth to wipe off booth and move dirty dishes to another dirty table we were able to sit. Due to the different seating locations, it was very disappointing to not be able to eat together. After another one in our group went up to discuss the situation, we did ask for a discount and got a small reprieve. Why did we have ask though when y'all knew the error was on your end? I was looking forward to playing games with kids too but after this first impression, I decided to limit any extra financial support to this establishment. Was the pizza good? Yes, it was fresh, loaded with toppings and didn't take too long to be served. Will we try again, possibly but I would not bring more than 4 people at a time. read more

My favorite pizza in KC! Been coming here 40 yrs, since I was a kid. Half combo / half Mexican. Do it!

Great pizza. Music to choose from on the jukebox. Arcade games and air hockey to play! Fun for everyone!

I was raised on Fun House pizza in Raytown and have been missing it for a while. When I came back into town, I figured I would try the Fun House on 40 Hwy since Raytown was no longer open. Much to my surprise they were only selling take out because of being short handed in staff. The staff on hand was pleasant, the place was clean, and my order did not take long at all, plus my pizza was perfectly done to my specifications. I was pleasantly surprised. There is no reason why they should not have been packed especially on a Saturday night. Can't wait to go back. read more

Store ain't in the best shape but pizza and wings are vary good will definitely return

I just wanted to give a big shout out to our server, Jessie! I hosted a 70th birthday party at Fun House Pizza for my dear friend. Our group of "mature" ladies had a great afternoon of pizza -- Bill's Special, you gotta try it -- appetizers -- best onion rings I've had in a while -- after which we took over the arcade and played like we were children again. I could easily see us returning on a regular basis. I recommend Funhouse Pizza on 40 highway to kids of all ages! read more

Bottom line: The pizza is delicious. We had planned on getting a bite to eat, out not in. My mom and i were sitting, waiting for our pizza. We gad #81. They called #77. Then, suddenly, there were 3 mom's and a few kids coming through the door. The guys at the counter called #83. The boys were around 10. The mechanical horses were behind us, and the boys practically ran over us to get to the horses. Once they discovered it was free, Holy hell we were stampeded. Then the guys at the counter called #84. They were using a mic, so I knew they'd not called #81. The boys riding the horses almost stampeded again, in my lap. On of them yelled, 'Mom! The horses are free!" right in my ear. My auditory canal had had enough. The guys at the counter called #79. I walked up to the counter and requested our pizza be put in a to go box. After they called #82, they finally called #81, skipping #80. We waited in stampede land for 45 minutes for our medium combination pizza. When I went to pick it up, they forgot the box, which I reminded them. We got it home, it was delicious. I said it before, but next time I'm calling it in. Clientele of parents who can't control their kids, and orders coming out too slow. Service isn't good, and getting worse. Deserves 2 stars. But the pizza keeps me coming back. read more

I've dined in and ordered take out from Fun House for years and the pizza is always very good. They load it up with all of your favorite toppings and that cracker crisp crust is pretty tasty. I always order the Bill's special which has a nice mix of pepperoni, Canadian bacon, olives, onions, etc. We just ordered the gluten free cauliflower crust which comes in medium only, and it was really good. So, this is one of my faves for pizza for sure. read more

Have eaten here for over 50 and has always been one of my favorite pizza places. But they just don't give a shit about the customer anymore. The last four orders I have made that I have all been totally screwed up and whenever I pointed out they don't say oh I'm sorry here let me fix it. They argue about it and point out how it must've been my fault when I tried to talk to a manager about it they got pissed off and hung up on me, what the fuck has happened to customer service and caring about the product to produce. read more

Great pizza the best you can get in independence mo. Don't go anywhere else. Wish they had one closer

Pizza isn't bad but this place is the opposite of FUN House. Absolutely NO FUN! Immeadiatelly within entering your greeted by one of the rudest, inhospitable women to ever occupy a restaurant. She had no interest in taking care if us much less serving us. Signs EVERYWHERE about what not to do or or what isn't allowed. read more

Last pizza ordered was pretty much over cooked and hardly any ingredients. Hope management fixes the problem with this

Very disappointed. Crust is still spot on, but either menu was printed incorrectly or I should've assumed a topping called "bacon" would actually BE bacon. Instead it was canadian bacon. I also assumed staff would be polite and helpful, as I stated I hadn't been there in 20 years or so. Games stunk, my son lost 3 quarters, but they have a sign posted "play at own risk, no refunds" After placing order and being treated like a pain in the arse, time sucking idiot, I expected no less than machines that don't work, no refunds, a charge for soda refills, as well as no offering or direction of eating utensils. read more

Fun House Pizza & Pub - This woman in the grey... resting bitch face bossy pants.....Made us feel less than welcome - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Missouri

The atmosphere is a little unique. You may or may not like it. But the bubbly pizza crust eclipses everything... That's why you go

This place has been our go-to for good old fashioned pizza. Maybe it has been sold or what?? The last pie we will ever get here was just awful. Cardboard crust actually less quality that a frozen one. Plenty of toppings except for cheese and sauce. Then it was overcooked. Huge disappointment. read more

This place is a joke of a business. It's filthy the bathrooms are disgusting. Expect to pay almost as much for drinks as food. No free refills. The food used to be good now it's sub par. The service was horrible and super slow. When my number was finally called to pick up my order my pizza was sitting on the counter while other customers reached over my food to pay. I actually saw someone else's elbow of their shirt touch my food. WhenI spoke to the manager about it he acted like I was being jerk. I did get a refund but no apology or offer for any other food. Needless to say I was furious and will never go back I will be posting pictures of how filthy this place is. How they pass a health inspection is beyond my understanding. If you own a restaurant clean it and update it. read more

I've grown up with Fun House. I eat pizza all over the USA and sorry I can't find any better. Original recipes and old ovens built in the 60's. There is only one place that comes close to matching FH in Lafayette, MS. It opened about the same time and still operates with the old oven too. This is by far the better pizza hands down. You all do a great job keep it up please. read more

I see this lady has already been featured in a negative review, but here is another one. Her attitude was as tasteless as the pizza. My family came here with a group of 50+ so we were a large party. As the adults were attempting to order beverages, she was brazen and cold to everyone. I myself was not even ordering beer, but my fiancé did order a pitcher of light beer. She said in order for him to get two glasses we both had to show ID. No problem. I show her my ID, I turned 30 a few days ago and my ID was expired by a few days. She screamed and announced that I was not able to have a drink in that establishment because it was expired and would not give me a mug. . Right after me was a man clearly either 70-80 years old that wanted one. He did not have a driver's license and so he offered her his Medicare card hahaha and she said no! You can't make this stuff up. I sent a friend up to get a mug for me. As I was sitting with my family enjoying my beverage, from across the restaurant, I look at her behind the counter staring at me with dead eyes and pointing directly at me for many seconds. It was weird. We waited over an hour for our pizza and it came out cold, like it was refrigerated cold? It tasted terrible. Long story short don't come here. Also putting this Lady's mean mug face up here for being the mug hoarder that she is seems necessary. Beware all of Lady Mug Hoarder. read more

Love the crust on pizza. Fun House is my favorite local pizza but my boyfriend prefers Square or Minsky's. Not I. Fun House has the best crust and their toppings taste fresh and wonderful. I do wish they had a better beer selection. read more

I am not a fan of this pizza but hubby likes it . If you order cheesy bread don't expect anything more then 2 pieces of toast with a some cheese on it .

I do enjoy the pizza when cooked correctly but these days it is lacking. Too many young kids working there any more with the I really don't care attitude. Ordered for pick up yesterday was told 25 mins.. got there and the wife and I waited another 20 plus minutes for a carry out order.. Service has gone to next to none.. read more

Bathrooms say a lot about a place. If you go into the bathroom and you can tell it hasn't been properly or at least half-assed cleaned in a long while then you can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Upon walking in the door the place smells like a musty old building mixed with grease. Me and my family used to come here a lot about 15 years ago, and since then the quality has hit rock bottom and kept going. I went here recently with the rest of my family to celebrate a birthday, but believe me I'd rather sit in a McDonalds than here. Take your money elsewhere and buy some food made in a clean facility, as I have heard from former employees just how terrifying the kitchen is. read more

This is my regular post, have been coming here for about 40+ years... Pizza is delish but, last night their was a mistake......I order same pizza every time .......1 small with everything I like always,about 26-28 $$$$$.....don't mind,at all!!!

Called today, asked for manager that knows me very well,wouldn't even come to the phone......was not willing to do anything.....they like the $$$ coming in the door but do not was to make good on a mistake!!!!!! Sad!!!! This is not good business! read more

This place has the best pizza that I have eaten in the Kansas City area. Yes, I said it. The crust is light, yet crisp, the toppings are applied liberally, and the cheese and sauce are very good. Like any pizza with lots of toppings, I find that I would like more sauce. It seems that the toppings overwhelm the sauce a bit. But I like lots of sauce on my pizza. I found this place because my husband grew up in Independence and he grew up eating here. Unlike some of the places that he remembers from his youth, this place has great food. It's kind of a dive inside, not much atmosphere. When you first walk in, there is a little room on the right with video games and pinball machines. You walk up to the first window and order your pizza. The next window is where you order your drinks. The service was efficient and friendly. We were there on a Saturday night for a birthday party and it was packed. Lots of people come for take-out orders too. There are two of the old-fashioned pony "rides" that used to be in front of grocery stores back in the day. They are free to ride. It is loud and boisterous. But the pizza rocks. You should go here! read more

This has been my favorite pizza for as long as I can remember eating pizza. I can remember eating Fun House pizza at least as far back as 1979. I started out at the old Blue Springs location (where the Class Reunion Lounge is now). It's where I was introduced to Asteroids, and Space Invaders, and Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong, and all the other great classic video games. I migrated to 40 Hwy after the old Blue Springs place closed its doors and have been loyal to this location ever since. The pizza is different than anywhere else. The crust is not thick, but it is very dense. It forms big bubble that burn around the edges, giving it a nice flavor. The toppings aren't dressed up in any way, they simply are what they are. The beef topping is real ground beef and not the processed pellets a lot of places use. Same for the sausage. I saw at least one reviewer describe the pizza as a greasy mess, and I have to wonder what pizza place they were actually at. Because my only complaint about the pizza here is that it's a little too dry. I generally ask for extra sauce. It's a good idea to default to extra cheese as well. I've never tried any of the other food here, the pizza's so good I don't want to risk ordering anything else. One thing to note: the pizza is best fresh, it does not reheat well. If you do need to reheat it, don't use the microwave or it will be almost too tough to eat. A 350 oven for a few minutes will do the trick. Fun House is the only local pizza that people in other states have asked me to bring to them when I travel. That's how good it is. (If you're wondering how, I asked them to cook the pizzas halfway, then I packed them in dry ice for the journey. The recipients then finished the cooking job using instructions given to me by the staff.) This used to be a cash only place, but they added an ATM a few years ago and started accepting credit cards a little while back. read more

The only reason they get three stars is because of the service. I was there one evening with my boyfriend. We ordered pizza and some beer about 1.5 hours before closing time. However, before we even got our pizza, the music was turned off, the floor person put all the chairs on the tables, and some of the lights were turned off. My boyfriend yelled across the restaurants, "are we disturbing you? the sign says you close at 10." They then turned on some lights. We drank our beer and took our pizza. I think Fun House has some of the best pizza in KC, (their crust is vegan, which was great when I was a vegan) but the service is disastrous. If you really want Fun House, especially this location, I say get it to go to avoid the rudeness of the staff. read more

This spot is a throw-back to my younger days. I met some family here for a birthday dinner. It's a dive but it SO works. This is the kind of place you can sit with friends over some beers and a pizza or to take a family. It's dark in here with no windows. Not kidding. No windows.They have the same old plastic ponies for the kids to bop back and forth for a moment of entertainment. We had two pizzas; one large pepperoni and one medium 1/2-1/2 with hawaiian and combo. No complaints on the pizza. No table service at this joint. Patrons need to go to the counter for everything. This can cause a wait at the counter but it is what it is! Nothing fancy at all! Gotta give it 4 stars because our beer was cold, our pizzas were hot and delicious and we had a bit of nostalgia to-boot! read more

Well, this is one of the best pizza places in the country, I have eaten here my entire life and anytime I get back to the "old" hood I eat here, and my children love it. 43 years in the same spot, without a remodel! It must be good... read more
