Johnny Jo's Pizzeria

Huge pies, always fresh, authentic Italian style pizza. Garlic knots are a great appetizer from them also. Two thumbs up.

I was incredibly surprised by Johnny Jo's. It's a whole in the wall that you can easily drive by without noticing because it's not on a main drag with other restaurants. But this place should totally get more love in Kansas City than I think they do. I grabbed a slice of pepperoni and they had these huge slices of pepperoni that I've not seen anywhere else. The pie was cooked very well and had a good crust. There isn't any real room inside or outside for any kind of dine-in, so you'll always want to get your pie to go. Definitely will be stopping by again.You can see more of our experience on our YouTube travel channel: https://youtu.be/8l2KvVoSapM

Johnny Jo's has been around for a while and is always in the conversation for best pizza in KC. I knew I was due for a visit hen I saw the new Italian Beef sandwich promoted on Facebook.I'm so glad that I went because the Italian beef sandwich is amazing. Everyone who loves The Bear is thirsty for some beef. Johnny Jo's put its own spin on this sandwich with the Dutch crunch bread. I enjoyed the giardiniera and the au jus which made it a well rounded sandwich. It's on the pricier side for a sandwich but it was packed with meat and the value is there. I called in the order and the lady working that night was super nice and she got the order perfect. I also had some pizza slices and cannolis included in this order. They have great cannolis.

I called into Johnny Jo's on a Friday night, as I was in the mood for pizza. The restaurant shuts down in the afternoon and doesn't open back till 5, so if you place an order around opening, it will take about 45-50 minutes to be prepared. When I arrived to the pizzeria, I was greeted by the friendly cashier at the front. She went to grab my pizza, which gave me a moment to look at all the unique pizza themed decor. I was blown away by the size of the New York style slices when I opened the box. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't cut all the way through, so I had to grab a pizza cutter and finish the job on my own. The pizza crust was thick and crispy, but also thin where it mattered, perfect for folding. The amount of sauce and cheese was well balanced, but not enough for me personally. I'll get extra sauce and cheese next time around! I loved the combination of pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and onions. Next visit, I'd like to try something with tons of meat piled on! **There was a bucket of free bracelets near the cash register, and I snagged a very cute one! (See picture)

Had an amazing only po'boy style roast beef sandwich, best I've had! Wife had veggie pizza that was delicious - can't wait for a return trip to town, will be back!

Ok the 4th star is because I like to see young people working hard to run a pizza place all by themselves. But to maintain their reputation, Johnny Jo needs to polish up a few things. I would suggest they cook down the red sauce more. It's too thin. The garlic knots are supposed to be a show stopper. But they're cooked unevenly. Maybe they need lower heat for longer time.

Lasagna pizza is soooo Margarita very good as well. Pepperoni and cheese niiiiice too ! Lady working very nice and informitive. Will go back !

Crispy simple delicious pizza for a good price. It is a cute little Italian style building with a small staff. Always made fresh. They're not always open consistently so I recommend checking online to make sure they are open before you head over.

We were disappointed, we got a 16" "The Works" or supreme pizza but it had barely any sauce or toppings on it. I looked back at previous years photos on yelp and the works pizza used to have lots of toppings so that was disappointing. The ingredients tasted fresh, but we didn't like the crust at all, just wasn't our style. I think I was especially disappointed because we paid over $30 for this pizza with hardly any toppings and no sauce so there wasn't much flavor. I'm giving 3 stars for the fresh ingredients and timeliness to make the pizza, but not recommending this to friends.

2nd try, so sadWas once the best pizza in the cityNow, bland cardboard with a very scant amount of cheeseI'll buy you some yeast if you need helpCrust isn't even a quarter of an inchNot talking about the base, the crustUghAnd $10 for 2 slices
