    Margarita Pizza.
    Shane G.

    Took my Son and Daughter her for a Sunday lunch, and it was great. The pizza is so airy and fluffy. Looking at it you would think it's thick and doughy, but it's not. I had $5 Bloody Mary and mimosa, which was good. I like how they put a large bottle of water your table, so you can fill impure waters up yourself. Good atmosphere, and service was good. My daughter's classic burger was excellent.

    Black and Bleu burger with regular fries was spectacular ($20 as of June 2025).  Special mention for the excellent horseradish aioli!

    This review is for lunch for one at the bar on a Friday in mid-June. service: Daytime bartender was awesome. Great recommendations and suggestions. Food runners and other waitstaff were all positive and professional. Seems like a great crew. bar: I drank a Discourse Goofing Around IPA (16 oz pour, $9 as of June 2025). This is a full service, serious bar, ready for your craft cocktail choices. food: Black and Bleu burger with regular fries was spectacular ($20). Special mention for the excellent horseradish aioli! The menu and other food coming out of the kitchen looks amazing. The Detroit style pizza is especially recommended. details: Bright industrial space with inviting vibe. Some surface parking in their lot on the side and rear.

    Incredible food! Holy smokes. I absolutely loved the pizza, and the cocktail was great too. Great service. Pretty chill at 7:45pm on a Sunday evening. If I'm in Lawrence, I'm coming back.

    Big Mill, what can't I say about you. Went after a KU victory. Food was bar none... certified deliciousness Wings and Za could not have been better Server was kind, place was clean and cool

    Buffalo wings

    Nothing but positive things to say about this place. Five of us went on a Tuesday night. They sat us outside, as requested. Turned on the heaters for us, as requested. The waiter came by frequently to check on us. He was patient, informed, helpful, friendly, polite, and professional. We ordered the chorizo nachos as an appetizer. Super yummy. Big enough for the 5 of us to share. I ordered the wings for r dinner as that was the special of the night and they were 1/2 of ($7). My brother and sister split the "Night Moves" pizza. My other sister got the kale and beets salad. My other sister got the fish and chips. I loved the wings. But I could only eat 4 after gorging myself on nachos. I took home the other 6 wings. My brother and sister had 2 slices of pizza leftover. My sister loved the salad and finished all of it. My other sister loved the fish and chips and we all tried them. The sauce is kind of sweet, but also has a lemony taste. She had leftovers and took it home. We really enjoyed ourselves. The heaters kept us very comfortable so we could all take off our coats outside after a while. The bill was very reasonable. I would definitely return.

    Honeymoon Pizza with Onion Rings and Mill Salad
    Ashton H.

    Pizza was different! But absolutely delicious no sauce but the way the honey with cheese hits was perfect. Onion rings thick but batter not too crunchy went perfectly with classic ketchup. Milo salad was a girls girls salad. Just the right of veggies and light dressing went smooth with the fresh brewed unsweetened tea.

    Perfect.

    Firstly, kudos to our nice waiter. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend the Mill Burger. This was really good and needed to additions. I suggest skipping fries and trying their Dill Slaw ----- omg. YUM. I could easily eat a bowl of this. My friend got the blackened chicken sandwich which she really enjoyed. She had an IPA that tasted like a summer Shandy which was lovely and I had the Black Widow cider. Hands down a really good meal. Now comes my disappointment and suggestions; so this note is for a manager or whoever does the menu. Your dessert menu is lack-luster. Like, really sad. For starters, the Pot de Creme was nice, love the orange zest on top. But $9 for the size you get, you have to be kidding me. At the very least, have it be the size of a coffee mug. Serving me a child size dollop of pudding that comes in a baby food jar isn't cool. We also tried the Ricotta Doughnuts... this is a hard pass. Yet again, $9 for something that isn't satisfying. You serve 6 balls with no powdered sugar and a 2 tablespoon size sauce that does nothing for this "dessert". My suggestion is ditch that old lady jam and add hot fudge instead. A side of vanilla ice cream would make it worth it. You can even remove 3 of the balls to make it decent. The doughnuts are dry, like zero moisture. It desperately needed some type of filling. So, after having an AMAZING meal, we ended the evening with these MEH desserts. Bummer. I give the place an overall 3.6 grading. Sadly, Yelp doesn't do half stars. It's not worthy of a 4 star rate but it is above the 3 mark. Would I return? Totally. But I'm skipping dessert.

Our order was placed at 5:00 PM, and the receipt indicated an estimated delivery time of 45 minutes, which was perfectly acceptable. However, the food did not arrive until 6:09 PM. While we understand that Chicago-style pizza takes longer to bake, arriving 24 minutes past the estimated time was disappointing. More concerning, though, was the poor quality of the food. *The side salads were fine, except the croutons were stale. *The Toasted "St. Louis" Style Breaded Cheese Ravioli appetizer was cold. *The Chicago-style pizza was also cold and tasted like day-old leftovers. We ate only 2.5 slices and threw out the remainder of the large pizza. *The New York cheesecake was delicious. However that wasn't enough to save the meal. Unfortunately, this was a major letdown compared to our previous positive experiences, and it makes us hesitant to order from Minsky's in the future. I'm the past, we have always been pleased, but this experience was far below your usual standards. Given the quality and temperature of the food, I don't feel this order was worth what we paid.

I've been having Rudy's Pizza since they were located in the Crossing more than 30 years ago, and I've been hooked on their sauce ever since. Whether you're just stopping in for a slice or you want a pie to go, Rudy's has lots of choices and plenty of great deals. Pro tip: some of the slices that may have been there a little longer than others go down to the dollar/value slice rack, or the lowest rack in the rotating warmer. Same great pizza for a friendly price! Rudy's has menu specials, calzones, or make your own pizza with a range of toppings and crusts. I'm a sucker for their whole wheat crust, but that might not suit those a gluten-free palate. The sauce is my thing, not too sweet and not too tangy and it melds just right with their cheese blend. Pizzas come out hot and ready and prices are right on par with other spots in LFK. If you're dining in, then know that seating can be a touch limited but your pie will come out and sit on a rack ready for serving. Plus you can listen to the soothing trickle of the goldfish pond while you wait.its a chill atmosphere in a unique sub-street space. It is Lawrence, so be mindful of your parking or you'll find yourself adding to the city coffers. Rudy's does deliver, so you can still get that great pizza brought right to you if you aren't fetching it. It's a great local business with a taste you don't get elsewhere, and it's absolutely worth my five stars.
