Il Lazzarone

Great pizza spot! Service was quick. Plenty of seating. My only angst was the pizza not coming out as hot as I'd like Vegan friendly

Food: Pizza was good. Definitely what you would expect. Nothing extraordinary memorable.Service: although the staff was friendly, they did not pay attention to details. I forgot the name of the pizza ordered, but it was supposed to come with prosciutto and fresh basil leaves when the pizza came out it did not have any basil leaves on it. I asked the food runner why there was no basil leaves on it and he said he was sorry but they ran out. You would think the server would tell me when I placed the order. Either she forgot to mention it or there's a lack of communication between the kitchen and the server. This is very disappointing to me because there's only two items on the pizza and you're missing one of them. The restaurant was an open space, dining room, playing good oldies music. Very chill relax vibe.If you're in the mood for this type of pizza, I do recommend this place.

Wow! Best Neapolitan pizza in the area! We stopped in on a Friday night and got seated right away. The restaurant is located in a charming, historic building right on the street car line. Both inside and outside seating areas. The menu offers antipasto, salad, and red or white pizza options. They carry a rotating drink selection which makes finding the perfect beer or wine a breeze. We tried the salad, supremo pizza, and The Goat and The Pig appetizer. All was the perfect amount of food for the two of us to enjoy. Our pizza came out within 10 minutes and was delicious. The brussel sprouts were delicious on the pizza. I highly suggest adding honey to your goat and the pig appetizer. It takes it to another level.

Such a great place for a casual date night. Our server gave great recommendations (you should get the margherita mascarpone pizza... so good) and had a great menu of apps, pizzas and drinks. We've sat both inside and outside here and enjoyed both.

I remember this spot from nearly a decade ago bursting on the scene with the modern urban vibes and unique, authentic pizza. I was really, really hoping it still held up after all these years and am happy to report: it's fantastic!We took our girls here recently on a little KC exploration day; parents, you know the drill. Streetcar. Union Station. Lunch. Avoiding naps. Maybe some ice cream.When we walked in, it was silent, empty, and the guy bussing tables/running host seemed a bit stressed. Weary after several downhill experiences post-Covid, I started thinking this spot might've lost it's fastball. Turns out, everyone was just out on their side patio enjoying the beautiful day, and that's where we went as well to soak up the sun and the energy. We got some basics that tasted anything but basic; a margherita D.O.C. pizza (San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, basil, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt) and a bianca white pizza (mozzarella, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, basil, sea salt). Folks, this was the good stuff. The garlic popped from the white pizza and brought so much flavor. The kids were blown away by the bubbly, salty crust. It is truly one of those pizzas that you don't need to bog down with ingredients ... a real "less is more" situation. Already can't wait to go back, and honestly wish they'd expand a bit further south so we could go here more often.

Thrilled to have been able to try Il Lazzarone as most websites are in agreement that it's the top pizza spot in Kansas City!Dad and I can agree that the pizza had a delicious and fresh taste! However there is some 3 star energy to note. To start, the inside ambience is off-putting. A wide open space with loud music that echoes guests' conversations, no intimacy. We were asked to be seated outside and were seated at a table that had bird droppings on it :( . Our service was okay. The bruchetta, $11, was different than the traditional. It was served over cut up pizza crust, a fork is necessary to eat it. Lastly, the pizza came out and we had to finsih cutting it as it wasn't cut through then as we separated the first slice from the pie, all of the toppings slipped off. It remained difficult to eat through the end because it was floppy and wet. Not really sure what happened there.Next time in Kansas City we will give another pizza spot a shot. (:

This is one of my go-to spots for pizza in the city! They have something for everyone and their red sauce is absolutely delicious. They have indoor/outdoor seating and I love to sit on the patio in the summer. The staff is always helpful and provides their favorites if you are looking for a recommendation. The location is perfect if you are wanting to keep the evening going and walk somewhere nearby for a drink or desert.

I am giving this place 4 stars due to the overall experience!We walked in and were promptly sat and given water but then no one interacted with us for 15 minutes, like our waitress would walk by but not look at us until finally she came up and asked what we would like. This was odd because there were only like two other tables in use, and we could openly see she wasn't busy. She was nice when we did interact. The restaurant itself was open and clean. We liked seeing the brick oven That said, the pizza was brought us insanely quick and was so so fresh and exactly as described. I got the crepa and my husband got the pepperoni. We felt the pricing was solid for the portion. I got the limoncello cocktail and didn't care for it, it was too heavy.

We absolutely loved our experience at Il Lazzarone! Took a friend up on her recommendation, and so glad we did!Pizza was incredible, environment was wonderful, everything tasted amazing, and pizzas were cooked in a very reasonable amount of time. I learned they have a GLUTEN FREE crust if you ask for it! It's not on the menus though. (Why isn't it on the menus?? No idea!) However, just double check if you're really sensitive since all the pizzas are cooked in the same oven to my knowledge.The only recommendation we had was that the tomatoes on the burrata appetizer needed some seasoning. They were a little under ripe, and didn't even have salt on them. Salt, pepper, and olive oil would really lift those tomatoes up to complement the pesto and the rest of the wonderful dish!Thank you for a wonderful meal!!

The food was amazing! Make sure you are detailed with your order, the service can get tricky with how many different pizzas there are. The vibe is fantastic, the ambiance is very hip and classy.
