Il Lazzarone

10000% recommend you try Lazzarone!!! Big brother to Neapolitan Pizza in the Kansas City River Market and worth equal amount of hype. The salads were fresh and delicious, the beer cold and pizzas ON POINT The staff was fun and engaging. We went during the day but I can see this industrial atmosphere amping after dark. Only downside is the St Joe homeless issue in this area! But with this drafty pizzas I'll tempt fate again.

Overall a pretty forgettable experience. We were greeted promptly, but not overly friendly or enthusiastically. The restaurant has a cool vibe, it wouldn't be until I tried the food that I knew why there was only one other table eating in the restaurant at 3 on a Friday. We ordered the bruschetta for appetizer. Probably the worst bruschetta I have ever eaten. It was all acid, my wife even remarked it was almost fizzy on her tongue. The only real flavor was a raw garlicky punch in the face. The bruschetta comes served on some pieces of their house made pizza dough. The dough itself is pretty good; however, it is a poor choice for a bruschetta vehicle. It becomes very soggy before it even gets to the table. Our pepperoni and hot honey pizza had ok flavor, but it was a little soupy in the middle. I'm familiar with Neapolitan style pizza, the crust had nice leoparding, but didn't taste burnt anywhere. Overall, the flavor of the pizza just seemed to be lacking. When I go in for Neapolitan style pizza, I'm looking for a soft crust, which has a crunchy exterior. Unfortunately, this did not hit that mark.Might try it again, but not until I give some other pizza spots in St. Jo a chance.

Il Lazzarone gave me some really great pizza. It's all fresh, the pizza is made right in front of you and there's a giant fired oven to cook it up. The pizza dough / crust was literally perfect, you couldn't ask for it to be made better.We ordered the Supremo and the Formaggio. The Supremo was my favorite of the 2. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars is because we ordered the La Rughetta salad and they forgot to dress it with the lemon and olive oil dressing, but our waitress was really kind and gave us a side of the dressing. But I will never come back here again because St Joseph is literally the scariest, creepiest town I've ever been to. We were just passing through and decided to stop here to get some dinner.

The atmosphere was good I enjoyed it , service was friendly but food could use a little help, restaurant wasn't busy at all and Bruschetta was soggy and completely buried the topping, bread/tasted like pita bread not fresh dough or bread , pizza came out and the whole pizza bottom was completely burnt on the bottom and it was so loaded with toppings wasn't able to cook all the way. I will definitely try this place again I hope this was just a fluke .

Fantastic pizza! This place in St. Joseph's is awesome. The staff is super friendly the pizza tastes very good and ambiance is also really nice. If you're in the mood for pizza look no further than here! Price is also reasonable

Awesome experience! I got the bruschetta to share. There was plenty for three of us. I also got the Vegano, add cheese! I thought... "hmm brussels sprouts on a pizza?" But was so pleasantly surprised. Delish! Also A MUST is the Nutella dessert pizza. I am still thinking about it.

This will be one strong reviewOn an experience, it's hard for me to call it a restaurant Opening the door and have it hit you in the face WoW that Oven knows what it's doing!!!!The men in there know what they're doing!!!From a country far away ingredients far from here, mixed with local ingredients!!!!Isn't that a Humdinger!!!!They're gifted They're talented Their palates are impeccable All wrapped tight in a bow Called Full of LoveI can only add Thank You All for having me in your home

We ended up here purely by accident but I am glad we did. The pizzas were flavorful and the perfect size. They were busy on a Saturday night but we didn't mind the wait. Our server, Trevin, was super friendly and still made sure we were taken care of despite the dinner rush. I definitely recommend you checking this place out if you're in the area.

NOT GOOD...STAY AWAY. Parking is fine. Interior is fine. That is about it. Table wobbles. Drinks not cold with no ice. Pizza not light and fluffy as in Southern Italy. Pizza middle not done...Raw! NOT GOOD...STAY AWAY HONEST

Service was not friendly at all. Waitress seemed to not want to be there.Pizza was bland, crust was pretty black.My group felt very uncomfortable. Seems more like a regular crowd type of place.
