The is a quaint little local place just on the west side of the KC metro. In full transparency - I look for 4 major things when it comes to pizza: 1- Green olives 2- Hearty, tasty sauce 3- A crust with some substance 4- Green olives KJ's has it all - including green olives! Not enough places offer green olives and this is a huge miss in my opinion. The pizza has always been ready on time and the service has been very friendly. Support this local business and get the green olives. read more

Delicious, house-made-crust pizza! The crust was a perfect marriage of chewy and crispy. The largest size pie at 16" was only $26- the price is truly right. The Mainstreet was terrific and I can't wait to try more flavors! read more

KJ's Pizzeria - The Mainstreet Pizza... delicious!! - Pizza Near Me - De Soto, Kansas

Seriously good; quality ingredients, nice and flaky crust, cooked to perfection. Definitely returning.

Amazing local pizzeria. We visited this lovely place a few times while in the area and would recommend.

Cute pizza place! We had the lunch special slices for $3.50 and my favorite was the crust- so delicious! The sauce was a little salty for my taste. Next time I will order a fresh pizza instead of a slice and then I might feel differently about it. The workers were friendly, and the decor was cute as well. Every small town needs a good pizza place, and as De Soto keeps growing in the future I am sure KJ's will continue to grow as well. read more

Delightful! I got the Mac and Cheese pizza and it was delish! If you are driving through de Soto that is one of the best spots! (Much better than the Pizza Hut lol) read more

Great pizza, amazing homemade bread and soups. This is a family run business that takes pride in their products. Fresh ingredients and delicious pizza make me come back again and again. read more

Fantastic local pizzeria. Scratch dough made on site, locally sourced meats, and creative topping combinations. Crust is crisp with a little chew, so good. By the slice sales at lunch. Don't sleep on the homemade soup. Limited seating area. read more

Great pizza. Locally owned, not a chain. We ordered their meat lovers pizza, their jalapeño popper pizza and their "Za" of the week.

Great pizza and service! Definitely recommend. We ordered 3 different pizzas and loved them all.

We had a family gathering at my mom's in DeSoto and chose to order carry out from KJ's. I honestly have to say it is probably the best pizza I have had in the metro. It isn't NYC style, it isn't really any style it is just KJs style. The crust is perfect to hold any and all toppings you want but not so thick it takes away from the toppings. The cheese is smooth and stays on the pizza, it isn't stringy. The toppings are in abundance and fresh as can be. They have a very wide variety of meats and veggies as well as cheeses to choose from. We had six adults, two teen boys and two little ones. We ordered three large pizzas and two small pizzas. We had plenty of food with enough leftovers for the teens to take home for another meal. Pizzas were ready on time and everything was exactly as ordered. read more

A solid five stars--for a reason. It really is that good! Some of the best pizza we've had--anywhere. Staff a friendly in this small pizza joint that seats maybe 20. Lots of options or create you own. Absolutely worth the drive to get here. read more

Absolutely amazing every time! KJ's always serves great food and the workers are always kind. Just had another great meal there!

When I saw that this place had a 5 star rating with 47 reviews, I just had to try it. It did not disappoint! They have QR code menus on the tables, and I was able to quickly place my order at the counter. I got the cheese sticks and the Mac cheese pizza. Both were absolutely delicious! Seeing as I was the only person dining in, it was very peaceful and quiet. I would definitely eat here again! read more

Amazing service, amazing food! Best pizza in town! Try The Veg or the calzones-both are great! read more

Great place for really great pizza, nice crust and unlike most pizza chains has actual toppings and great variety. Had the meat lovers, the smoked ham is the bomb. Worth the drive - has dining and pickup online. Has a website to view if you want to look it up read more

Purposely drove here because it was rated so high on Yelp. My family and I were not disappointed. We ordered Half Meat/Half Hawaiian pizza along with cheesesticks. The food was delicious; the crust was perfectly crunchy! We will be back!! read more

The pizza from KJs is sooooo good. My only wish is that it was a better "eat in" environment. I really don't like carry out pizza because it is never hot and fresh by the time you get it home. We've had KJs as carry out and it was delicious but I knew it would be better hot and fresh. My daughter and I came here on a Saturday evening to dine in and yes it was better hot and fresh but it doesn't really feel like they want you to eat in, if that makes sense. They were very nice but everything was in plastic (salads, dressings, etc.) and it just feels like they would rather you take the pizza and go. If the eat in experience was better we'd probably come back over and over. read more

Small pizza place in a small town but they have pizza with big flavor. May be the best pizza I have eaten. The combinations that Rod comes up with for Za of the week are always really good read more

Best pizza and soup in my experience throughout KC Metro! Hidden away in old downtown DeSoto -- a stone's throw off K10 at Kill Creek Road. My husband and adult sons, food junkies, love KJ's pizza -- and we've eaten around the city, country and in Italy! Owner Rod takes pride in his product -- fresh dough made in house, fresh meats, cheeses & creative specialty pizzas, too! Calzones are also delicious, and those soups... OMG! I thought I made good soups -- tasty, tasty, tasty. If you get the chance, grab some carry out! The ziti pasta -- select your own ingredients -- makes a nice change of pace, too... and an option for vegans. read more

Pizzas are always unique and very tasty. Fresh ingredients and the best crust ever! Love their Za's of the week.

Great pizza. Great soups. Great people. You will find some very unique combos here. They are always good

Simply the best!! Have not had anything that was not good even tried some calzone that I would probably never order and it was amazing. Do yourself a favor and try it. read more

Friendly service and excellent pizza with a perfect crust! My wife will come just for the tomato basil soup and homemade bread. The option to buy pizza by the slice is great since I am not a fan of leftover pizza. read more

This place was referred to us by a friend and what a great suggestion! The crust is the best I've had. I think this place is better than Minsky's and definitely more affordable. Only thing I'm not a fan of is their sauce for the breadsticks. In my opinion it tasted like nothing but tomato's. read more

Excellent pizza! Tons of options and the staff very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Just relocated to Linwood and had family visiting. Kids wanted pizza so we stopped in DeSoto at KJs. Two wonderful surprises- a carnival on the Main Street and fantastic pizza. The service was excellent and everyone was so friendly and kind - even though they were obviously swamped with business. This is NO Pizza Hut joint! This is quality and gourmet pizza. Highly recommend. Loved it! read more

Jalapeño popper pizza is where it's at!! Always kind, quick, and ready to make the best pizza in De Soto!!

Great, fresh pizzas. Got the Meat Lover and that was one tasty pizza! Highly recommended when in the area.

Good ingredients, interesting and surprising taste combinations that just work. Lovely people. A fine restaurant.

Pizza was awesome. Friendly service - CLEAN and great selection. Not your typical throw some ingredients together and call it a pizza joint.... the meats, cheese's sauce and crust had a high quality taste. You could actually tell they cared what they served. Limited seating - a couple outdoor table options and to go orders. Highly recommend trying KJ's, and I'm sure you'll want to come back! read more

Great pizza and speedy service! I highly recommend. I've yet to be disappointed by KJ's.

I'm so sorry I didn't take a picture, but this pizza was SUPERB!!! Their specialty pizzas: The Greek (with those meatballs!!!) and their veggie pizza are so fresh and delicious. I love their seasoning on the crust and the sauce. The crust was the perfect blend of soft and crunch all in one! I can't believe we have this gem in our little town - jackpot!! read more

KJ's is worth the drive to De Soto. The ingredients are fresh and the meats are great. The crust is chewy and cooked perfectly. This is a must try pizza place. It is family owned and the staff is friendly. There is a TV so you can watch the Chiefs or Royals while you dine. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing Pizza. If you like gourmet pizza made by true artisan chef who uses all fresh homemade ingredients, then KJ's Pizzeria is the place for you. You know its fresh because they don't even have a freezer, even the dough is made fresh daily. My family and I stopped there when passing through a couple of weeks ago and the pizza was fantastic. The owners Rod and Michele Bowman are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. We liked it so much we stopped again when we came back through on our way home. If you haven't tried it yet, you should, because it is worth it. De Soto is lucky to have a real chef open a pizzeria in their town. My favorite Pizza was The Outpost...YUM! read more

I didn't really think much of this pizzeria until I got the chance to try it. But now, for their prices, they're definitely worth it. Not cold, always fresh. Reccomended. read more

Stopped in for lunch at KJ's today and was not disappointed!!!! Really enjoyed the farmer, Main Street, and outpost! Can tell everything is made from scratch and with love. read more

Original visit: 7/8/2018 This pizza is sooo good. A little bit expensive but they load the specialty pizza down with toppings, so it's pretty good value for the money. Took ~10 minutes for my 8" pizza to cook, which is about what I was expecting. (My friend's 12" took ~15 minutes.) I got The Farmer, and that sucker had so many toppings! They don't skimp out on the chicken either. One of the pizzeria's unique menu items is the option for gluten-free crust. It's not outrageously expensive like it would be at other pizza places either. GF 10" 1 topping = $11.95 Regular 12" 1 topping = $11.95 They seem to really care about their customers - another family's wait was a little longer than ours and the employee offered free samples of the soup while they waited. The decor is fine - nothing spectacular. The entire place only seats 28 people inside, but there is also outdoor seating. A little high-end for my taste, but the food speaks for itself. Pros: Excellent food/service, lots of topping options, lots of toppings on specialty pizzas Cons: Pricier than other food in the area read more
