Johnny Jo's Pizzeria

This is very likely my favorite pizza in KC! A NY style pizza, the garlic knots and calzone are amazing! I've also ordered pizza by the slice. It's easy to drive right past this spot, there's two parking spots in front of it, otherwise you're at the mercy of limited street parking. This is a to-go spot. I think there was one or two spots for dine-in pre-pandemic but now it's definitely to-go.

I specifically asked for no green peppers, I do believe I wrote it twice. Guess what? It had green peppers! Pizza smells good but I haven’t been able to eat it yet as it is in the oven. Not quite cooked all the way.

This place was a complete surprise to me. I’ve worked in the area for over two years and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it sooner. It’s a little hole in the wall, parking is difficult, there’s no dining area, and they’re not fast - but wow was it worth it. Oh I have tried the Sicilian Stromboli along with the original, and they are both amazing. The crust has a nice crunch with a chewy center. Nice and yeasty. They are generous with the toppings and you get their homemade sauce on the side. Go get some!
