Well we weren't sure what to expect. Not a big parking lot and the building was a little run down. Not too busy either for a Friday evening. Hours are like 4-8 pm Tuesday through Saturday. This is family owned and has been around for about 50 years. The inside is like a flash back to the early 90s decor. A ton of Knick Knacks hanging everywhere. MS Pac-Man and hardly and not the tables seemed the same. The place was spotless clean. All this stuff hanging up and not a speck of dust. Now to the food. I guess it's known for its thin cracker crust. We tried the royal supreme. Large was $15. I am so disappointed this was my first time here. This pizza was fabulous. Even though this pizza was loaded with meats, veggies and cheese it didn't flop. Every bite there was an audible crunch. It immediately ties in top three pizza in town. Right up there with ilazzorne and Pizza Tassio. Very nice owner. It was sad to see that it wasn't busy on a Friday and on the way home we passed Pizza Hut and it was packed. Just ridiculous. Pizza Hut freaking sucks compared to a place like this. Please try this out for at least carry out. You won't be disappointed. Support local. read more

Great pizza when you can catch them open...Hours say from 4:00 till 8:00 pm so you should stand by them.If you can't find the help then the owners should take responsibility and run the place like he or she should or just sell the place to someone who cares enough about the Pizza Royal and its histo.... 4 hrs a day for 4 or maybe 5 days a week....By all means don't over work yourselves!!! read more

Best Pizza Ever!!!! Been eating it for over 50 years and it can't be beat!! Always fresh ingredients and with awesome sauce and crust!

This charming one of a kind pizza place came highly suggested as a must hit place in St. Joe! We loved the cheese stick appetizer! Also sampled the supreme pizza and pepperoni with black olives. The perfectly thin crust pizza was packed with amazing flavor! The restaurant itself has lots of character with unique antiques scattering the walls. Connie our waitress was so friendly and took time to get to know us. A wonderful experience worth coming back to. read more

Pizza Royal - Supreme pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Nothing like a local family owned business that has been doing it right for years. It's all old school with thin crust in a very HOT oven. Great taste and flavor that is unique to pizza royal. I have enjoyed it for years. read more

Me and my mom will never get tired of Pizza Royal! Lori (owner) is an amazing human being! 10/10 recommend.

This was great pizza in a cute small business. The service was very friendly even though we were a large group and were where shortly before closing time. The only negative I have is that it took a while to get our food, but I was very understanding because we were a big family with several pizzas ordered. The crust is amazing and their sizes were very generous compared to others replaces I've eaten. I will definitely be back when I'm nearby! read more

Pizza Royal - What a great environment. Very cozy! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

The pizza was just on the the OK side, lacking to me in flavor of the sauce. Crust was like Pizza Shoppe but thinner. The wife will try it again, I'll probably pass. Pluses for having a pinball machine (Road Show) and Ms. Pac and a jukebox. Pinball needs service. Dirty, head GI lights out and credit dot indicating something's amiss. Down side to not serving beer, it's a must for me with pizza! read more

There's only 2 pizza places that serve a true homemade pizza in St Joseph,and Pizza Royal is one of them and the best one. Awesome sauce and a thin crust that leaves nowhere for the flavor to hide. The best pizza in town. Period if you don't like Pizza Royal,you must have never ate a real pizza. read more

This local (i assume family run) pizza shop is amazing! I love pizza and this is pretty close to my favorite pizza ever! Freshness in dough and quality of ingredients you can taste and the thin crust that isn't over cooked or too crunchy. Amazing staff and "feels right at home" interior decor. Can't beat it, very well done. I will return. Bellisimo read more

After living on the East Coast for seven years, I decided to come back to Saint Joseph to visit my family. One night we were all sitting here discussing what kind of pizza we wanted. The first thing that came out of my mouth was "I want Pizza Royal!" Being born and raised in the south side of Saint Joe, every couple weeks we would always have Pizza Royal. Two things about Pizza Royal always stuck in my my mind. Number one, the excellent taste. Number two, the way they would put the small pizzas in a little brown sack. So, on a Saturday night, me and mom went all the way down to the south side to pick me up some Pizza Royal. The pizzas still come in a little brown sack, and the smell just made the car smell so great. When we got back to the house, I ate the whole damn pizza by myself. It is still the same great pizza I remember growing up as a kid!!!! read more

Probably the best pizza you can find in town. Their Taco pizza is the best I have ever had, hands down. I love the vibe in the restaurant. It's very welcoming and you really get that small town, family owner feel. The staff have always been absolutely wonderful. They work hard to earn your business. It's worth a stop, you won't be disappointed. read more

Best pizza EVER. My pizza loving husband will only order from Pizza Royal. Our 3 year old asks for "Pizza Oyal" atleast once a week! All their pizza is great- taco, beef, supreme..everything is delicious. I had the pleasure of working here for awhile and the owners are GREAT people! read more

This is the best pizza ever! I moved out of state and have been craving it for 5 years! No other pizza comes close to it! They have a lot of antiques around on the walls...it is a lot of fun to play "I spy" with whoever you go with, especially kids while waiting for your pizza. They also have a pinball machine that is fun too! The owner is also AMAZING! read more
