    Dunkel & Minskys is a fab combo.
    Tom V.

    Do I recommend this Minsky's, or any of them? Of course! It's a well-known brand in KC and for good reason. Minsky's is serving up outstanding pies, loaded with whatever toppings you wish, mixed with a signature cheese blend, and have been doing so for nearly 50 years. Their locations are sprinkled all across the metro area and chances are very good that there's one right near you. My local Minsky's (Shawnee) has just remodeled, expanding their space while maintaining their outstanding pizza and great service. The bar area has been expanded so that there is a U-shaped seating area with double the capacity for those that just want to pony up for a drink. Tons of TVs line the space, generally tuned to some type of sportsball whether local or otherwise. Great sightlines, great seating, and excellent bar selection. Obviously, the pizza is the hook. But Minsky's has that pizzeria vibe, you know, when we actually used to eat pizza at the place that it was made before delivery was constantly a thing. Dine-in or carry out, you'll get a signature pie: the crust is unique, the sauce is robust, and every pizza is able to hold the toppings without flopping downward. Minsky's always has curbside pick up, and tip well for those young folks that are coming out to bring you your order. It's a local business that has built and maintained a solid reputation, not only through their outstanding pizza, but through their service and their brand. Get there!

    Came in around 9 and it was pretty empty. It was nice and clean and staff was super kind. We ordered right away and had 3 large pizzas within 15 minutes for a group of 6. We also order alcoholic drinks which were tasty as well. Definitely would come back to this location.

    Really enjoyed our time, ordered five pizzas, breadsticks, cheese, sticks, wings, and also french fries. Everything was great, my favorite was the mac & cheese pizza with a deep dish touched to it The wings were very good, especially the garlic ones in my opinion And to be honest, the french fries were perfect. They were so good, especially with the branch that is housemade. Our waiter, Meghan was amazing and served us very well - thank you!!!

    Bar area

    This site just reopened from a remodel and is going well. Converted bar area to a legit small sports bar atmosphere without losing the family friendly dining area. They also added a dedicated door for carry out. Food is still great. I'm a local and know much of the staff. They're dedicated folks committed to getting it right Photos are not great. I was trying to avoid capturing faces. Price on pizza is a bit high but great quality, excellent service

    I ordered online, as we just finished a 5k race, paddling at the Shawnee lake. I realized I forgot to change the Gluten free pizza to have dairy free cheese and immediately called them. They said they would fix it. I ordered the natures choice (added lamb sausage) and the boyfriend ordered regular papa minskys. Can I just say... One of THE BEST pizzas I have had. I wish they were in my town. I ate the whole thing (10inch) and I am stuffed beyond! They don't skimp on toppings or cheese. I'm mad at myself for not saving some for tomorrow's lunch.

    Minsky's is a casual and relaxed restaurant that we enjoy going to for our favorite pizza. We get the Gluten Free Jumbo Combo pizza that my husband (who doesn't have celiac) really likes. Their pizza is excellent and toppings are top notch. They have great servers and quick service. The only negative is that the side salad is priced too high $4.18 for the amount served. The content of the salad is fresh and tastes good but the side salad itself is tiny. Their regular sized salads are just fine though.

    Jumbo Combo piece of pizza with too many onions.

    I love Minsky's Shawnee, the Shawnee newly remodeled location is great. Service is always good, but I do want to comment that we ordered a Large Jumbo Combo, our normal order, to pick up, and we were really disappointed in the pizza. The problem was that it was totally saturated with onions, little tiny onion pieces just covered the whole pie. All we tasted was onion! So whoever made our pizza this time, big huge fail. We expected onion along with green pepper, but not a whole large minced onion completely covering the pie. So maybe tone it down a bit. Next time I'll order it without onions. At $28 plus dollars for a pizza, I expect excellence. The picture below show the amount of onions minus a few left on the tiny piece. Notice the difference between the green pepper vs onion. This piece actually didn't have as many as the two I ate, but I had already dumped the extra onions in the trash. Anyway, a bit much for me.

    Mini Italian Buffalo-style Chicken Pizza
    Sydney D.

    We ordered carry out around 4pm on a Friday afternoon. Everything was hot and ready within 20 minutes. I absolutely LOVE the mini pizzas. At $6.99 a pizza, you can get a really good variety, at a reasonable price. You can also customize the crust on them (many options). The honey crust is a favorite, as is the Buffalo chicken pizza. We went with deep dish crust on the bigger Cupperoni pizza, and it was a bit much. Lots of crust. But that's ok, just wasn't our personal preference. The apps were good as well. Nothing special, but good non the less. Highly recommend the mini pizzas for a good variety, honey crust, and Buffalo chicken pizza.

    Crab Rangoon Pizza
    Claudia S.

    I ordered curbside pickup online. I was about 5 minutes away when I ordered and the website said it'd take about 20 minutes, which was no problem. I got over to the area and stopped at a convenience store to grab a 2 Liter of pop to go with the pizza I'd ordered. I arrived at the curbside about 10 minutes before my order was due to be ready. One of the servers promptly came out to get my name. I told him I knew I was pretty early. They were not busy (2pm on Saturday). Just a couple of minutes later, he brought out my wings and Large Crab Rangoon pizza. We are fans of Crab Rangoon pizzas and like to try them when we find them on offer; however, we often find that pizza places put far too much of the Chili Sauce on their pizzas for our taste. I missed the button on their website that would have allowed me to customize the toppings to request less sauce or sauce on the side. I see now where that option was available; so no blame to them. We did wish their was less sauce and their sauce is quite spicy for our taste; however, I will say that the pizza was quite tasty and probably the best or at least tied for 1st place in my book of the best Crab Rangoon pizza I've had so far. We ordered ours on thin crust. The crust is pretty flavorless, but still was a great pizza. The wings were good too. Nicely cooked and tasty. The peppercorn ranch that we chose as the dipping sauce wasn't anything spectacular but got the job done. In all, it was good food. Prepared quickly and we had friendly service.

    Ok first things first, I only post when completely pissed about something…read more First off we have been Regulars at OSP (for space sake) for MANY years. I can say we know some of the staff and have interacted a lot over these years, This review is not about the food at all, it as always is exceptional. Its the Counter Staff and the Prices, I understand fully that prices go up and down based on the availability of the ingredients etc. But the other night, my wife and I made a last minute decision to go to OSP for a meal, we needed a night out. We went in, were met by one of the always awesome wait staff, and our order was taken. Understand we are on their Birthday rewards, Toast rewards and specials emails and texts, so in theory it should be deemed reasonable to eat there. Nope. We each ordered a salad, a small specialty pizza and got a pitcher of beer, we love a long hang out dining experience. after my wife redeemed her "Birthday" reward, the bill was $94.00... are you kidding me? on what planet does 2 small pizzas 2 side house salads and a pitcher of beer cost that much? in disbelief my wife asked is that with or without the reward and the snarky (probably underpaid) girl at the counter was unapologetic and essentially border line snotty. Listen I get it.. and my wife is never ever rude, she is my complete opposite, because If I receive it? Ill give it back, but even she, who won't give it back at all was a bit mad. I am taking a break from OSP for a while because honestly not the first time the kitchen/counter staff has been rude, but mostly if you want good pizza it shouldn't cost anyone $94.00 get over yourselves because there is better, less expensive pizza out there that isn't served in a dingy dirty cabin like setting in the middle of an improving area of Shawnee. Step up attitude and Pricing or sink. Thanks for ruining a place I loved going to. I don't have Photos to post, I just wanted out the door before I said something.

I really just popped in for a happy hour beer. They concisely have a good tap list filled with lots of local and unique craft beer. They knock a couple bucks off the price of craft beer during happy hour which is 3-6 daily. They also offer half priced cheese bread and even a slice and pint deal which is like 10 or 11ish dollars (as of July 2026). The happy hour is definitely worth stopping in for and I'll definitely be back to order some food in the future.

So much flavor and plenty of meat, I also choose no jalapeños since I'm not a fan. I also tried a tater tot and those are well seasoned so I'd also expect their fries to be seasoned as well.
