Large Lobster pizza
Russ G.

Popped in for Restaurant Week. Had the Lobster pizza and was not disappointed. Would like it if they put it on their regular menu.

Lobster Pizza

Stopped in for Restaurant Week '26 and got the Lobster Pizza, It was sooooooo good. The pizza was cooked perfectly to where everything was cooked just right and nothing was over cooked. Flavors were outstanding with the hint of butter along with the lobster. We also ordered an appetizer of Wings which were meaty, the sauce had a really good flavor as well.

GF pepperoni & hamburger

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW soooo yummy! I love their red sauce and the crust actually holds up. They are a business trained by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness, and they have a separate GF menu. They have separate utensils and other precautions in place - and I did not get sick!

Water.  I forgot to take any pictures of the wedge salad and mini pizza.

We came in at lunchtime. Our server, Sean came over and brought us water and took our order. He was the only server and he did a great job of taking care of us. The restaurant was clean! Our order came out a short time after ordering. We ordered a wedge salad and mini pizzas. It came out as we had ordered it. Our server checked us on us several times to make sure everything was good at our table. He always had a smile on his face. We look forward to returning!

I placed a carryout order for Large gourmet Hawaiian pizza Large Philly Cheesesteak 1/2 with cream cheese and green pepper only Cheesy breadsticks 6 drinks Spent just under $70 for everything I picked up my pizza and went to a study group where it was my turn to bring dinner. I had talked up Minsky's pizza and how it's on the pricey side, but soo worth it! I have been going to the Minsky's location for year and this is the first HORRIBLE experience I have had. I really hope this was a big mistake and not that this location has had a change in management or something resulting in this being the new standard. I realize I should have checked my order before leaving, but I have never had any problems with this location and we were in a hurry. I feel like anyone who made these pizzas or even just saw them should've been able to tell they were not right. On both pizzas the dough on bottom was under cooked and did not rise and the crust was dry and tasted like a cardboard biscuit. Hawaiian pizza toppings were in large clumps instead of being spread over all over and the sauce was in large pool's instead of being lightly drizzled all over. 1/2 Cheesesteak/ 1/2 cream cheese cheese green pepper pizza they did not put enough cheese to even cover the green peppers so that 1/2 ended up having over baked and slightly burnt cheese. The breadsticks seemed to be haven been made correctly and probably could've been great, except they were carelessly thrown in the box with the cheese sides together and when we tried to take them apart the all the cheeses and half of dough of one stuck onto the other.

Spicy Thai pizza
Libby G.

We love Minsky's pizza! Their hamburger pizza really tastes like a cheeseburger! This visit we ordered two of our favorites--the spicy thai pizza with chicken, roasted peanuts and peanut sauce plus the Philly cheesesteak pizza that has plenty of meat plus dabs of cream cheese. We usually order two larges and then have left-overs for a couple lunches. Both their original crust and thin crust are delish! Another great choice we've had is the prime cut pizza...very meaty with pepperoni, hamburger, American and italian sausage...but it is the crispy slices of bacon they top it with that make it another favorite. Minsky's is hasn't sold their soul like some of the other pizza restaurants that now skimp on ingredients to make more money.

Tonight we ordered Minsky's to be delivered. Our pizza showed up looking like they couldn't care less how they deliver their pizzas. The pizza was smashed to one side of the pizza box. When I called to report how our pizza was delivered the manger didn't seem concerned. I asked him if I could get a discount. He did not want to give me a discount or a refund. Customer service is not Minsky's priority.

Medium pepperoni
Joseph G.

Put in a a order for delivery to our hotel room after a long day of traveling. Person on phone said 45 min-60 min and we actually got it in like 20 min directly to our hotel room. So kudos on that. Pizza did have really good flavor. My oldest daughter summed it up nicely with saying it Similar to a Mr Gatti pizza but larger, with more dough and better tasting crust. I feel like that was pretty accurate so I'm plagiarizing it for my yelp review. We order a medium pepperoni and large cheese. After tip we wound up spending around $35-37. So a tad bit on the expensive side. But it was tasty and hit the spot. And we got fast service so we were more than satisfied.

Tiramisu
Susanne K.

Not all Minsky's are created equal. This is a lesson we learned after going the Minsky's on Pflumm and another location that shall remain nameless. So far we've gone to the Minsky's on Pflumm three times. Once we did take out, the other two times we ate at the bar. All three times we had consistently good service and quality food. Good-sized portions for the cost. FPO and I tend to stick with the appetizers and the calzones. Thus far, the baked cream cheese pesto dip with toasted pita (or you can get breadsticks) is my favorite appetizer. I have several go-to calzones that I like. The spicy Thai and Margherita are my favorites. It's a nice place for a laid back time.

Service is sometimes a little slow but worth the wait for some of the best pizza in Kansas City.

Heard a lot about this local institution, but it was barely a step up from Red Baron. The beer specials cushioned the fall.

The menu looks like there are a lot of options both food and drinks. I will go back and eat there when I have more time to do so. The food I got was good and had good flavors.

There's something suspicious about the reviews for Buenos Aires Restaurant in Shawnee. They're…read moreeither glowing five-star praises or scathing one-star warnings. My experience leans toward the latter, though I'm giving it two stars solely because our server was kind and genuinely tried his best. I initially asked for a cocktail menu, having seen several drinks featured on their Facebook page. The waiter informed me they don't have a bar, had just gotten their liquor license, and could only make a drink if I provided a recipe. That was a red flag. He ended up calling the owner, who texted over a few recipes. At that point, we settled for sangria because I didn't feel comfortable letting someone wing a cocktail from memory. Then came the next blow: they were out of all steak items and all desserts. This was frustrating, especially after ordering a pitcher of sangria under the assumption we'd be enjoying a full meal. We ordered the "Taste of Argentina" to sample a variety. The first dish to arrive was an empanada and it was passable, but the filling was slightly cold, clearly reheated, likely in an air fryer. That was fine. Next came a plate with a basic ham and cheese sandwich, a small salad, and potato salad. The sandwich was generic, something you'd expect from a deli cooler, though the salad was fresh. The second plate was, frankly, inedible. Everything tasted like it had just come out of a microwave. The pizza was soggy, the chicken with cheese was flavorless, and another meat-and-cheese item had a strange, off-putting taste and again, cold in the center. The only remotely decent thing was a sausage sandwich, which was just okay. What baffles me is that it wasn't even busy. It was just one other table occupied, so there's really no excuse for this low level of quality. For a $40 sampler plate and a $40 pitcher of sangria, we received maybe $5 worth of food, both in taste and presentation. I won't be returning, and frankly, I'm confused by the flood of five-star reviews. Based on our experience, they do not reflect reality.

Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!

I cut it in half and took the rest of it home. I got horseradish and mayo to top it with. Fries are amazing- thin cut but still like steak fries.
