The bar
Karl A.

An absolutely awesome dining experience! We came in and grabbed a table in the back room. The bar tender came out and grabbed our drink order. I ordered a cider and they brought me out 1/2 a glass. The keg was empty and he figured I could at least try it. It was good, so I appreciate what I got. We got some appetizers. The Cesar salad was fresh and crisp. La Capra E Il Maiale was awesome! It was baked goat cheese and pepperoni with flatbread. Absolute flavor explosion! The pizzas... so great! We got a hot honey pepperoni and a Mortaza. Both were baked beautifully, the cheese blends were spectacular, and the toppings were ultra fresh. I left happy and full! Great service, great food!

Menu

Il Lazzarone is a "safe bet" kind of place that's okay with large groups and families with small children. It's pretty lively--which is to say that it's not a quiet, romantic sort of setting, so don't expect to have a sweet heart-to-heart convo over your pie. (Can this be the same place other reviewers are calling "upscale"? The menu is laminated, the chairs are industrial metal, and the floor is concrete. The server's wearing a hoodie.) The table next to us included two kiddos who played with electronic devices with the volume on, and staff made no move to stop them. We were seated at a table near the front door and didn't see the bar area until after we finished dinner; it's likely more intimate. The beer list is pretty short--the usual big names and a smattering of local craft brews. There are several spritzes and a few house cocktails on the menu, as well as a decent wine selection. We had craft beers and they were served good and cold. The menu also includes cane sugar sodas and Pepsi produts. Like most pizza places lately, there's no option for a small hot meal, especially if you want protein included--just a whole pizza (of which I'd eat less than half) or a salad. So I had a half salad, my mate had a pizza, and I had a slice of that as well. The crust is excellent; sauce and toppings are tasty as well. Il Lazzarone looks like a good place to share pizzas if you're with folks who can agree on toppings! It's a stable, reliable place to pop into if you're in the area.

Went in on a late Friday night. The staff were very friendly. The pizza was delicious but it was not your typical pizza. I couldn't hold it to eat without everything falling apart. Overall it was delicious and I would go back again to try other menu items!

MARGHERITA MASCARPONE & LA ROCCIA pizza
Karla B.

Food - 3.5/5 Service - 5/5 Atmosphere- 4/5 Staff were super friendly and helpful with choosing the right pizzas. A small complaint off the bat is that we were a table away from the wood-fire oven and could smell a little bit of smokiness. Regardless, we went into getting drinks: friend got a beer and I got some kind of elderberry spritzer (super yummy & refreshing)! We ended up ordering a margarita mascarpone and a la roccia (with tomato sauce) pizza. While both pizzas had good flavor. We had critiques: pizza crust was a little burnt (overpowering the flavor of the actual pizza), prosciutto was thicker than most and chewy, arugula was overcooked (wish it was added on at the end - have it be more of a topping) and the center was too soggy (making it hard to eat without it flopping over). Overall, it would be better now knowing what to expect if I visited again. Definitely looked like one of the better places to get Neapolitan pizza in KC.

Vegano
Erica J.

Love Il Lazzarone and love an easy on-menu vegan option. The 'Vegano' is delish and has no shortage of toppings. The front of the restaurant is open and great for groups but I prefer the smaller area in the back where there's bar seating, a TV or two, and some hightops. It's less than a minute walk from one of the City Market streetcar stops, so a convenient option especially as it gets colder out.

Potato pizza on top

Service was okay, even though it wasn't busy when we came in. Our servers did acknowledge that they were running a little behind. There's lots of various seating options, and it's a fair spot for an evening dinner, although not quite date night vibes. Servers were still super friendly and helped give recommendations. We got two pizzas which we both were able to finish. I got the potato pizza, which was interesting, but not sure I'd get it again - too starchy in my opinion. Overall, there's not too many places in KC with actual wood fired pizza options, so for that they did well, but not the best pizza I've ever had.

I'm not sure why I took so long to visit, but I guess good things come to those who wait. I won't call myself an expert on traditional Neapolitan pizza, but I know what I like. We went with two pies - one red sauce and the other white sauce - and left with happy plates. Service was good. The room is a bit plain, so the sound bounces around the room. It may be hard to hear during peak times.

Late night happy hour
Amanda M.

That thin charred crust and the late night happy hour specials! Great spot for sharing pizza, salads and bevies with your favorite people!! Street parking, street car, lots of ways to get here. They have a front restaurant and back bar space to check out. Check it out!

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.

To all who are looking for upscale pizza - this is your new favorite. The options will have you wishing you looked at the menu before you came, and that applies to the food and the drinks. The space is open while still feeling intimate and if you're looking for a tan instead of the cool kiss of AC, they have your back. The paved and sizable patio allows you to enjoy your space and private conversation while still being actively served. The pricing seems high, until you see the pizza come out. One pizza can comfortably serve 2 adults, but it's so good you'll want leftovers. For all the lovely gluten free folks, there is still pizza paradise for you in the crust switch up options. The service team is a sweetheart crew with a lovely presence and a personable touch. They are spinning a lot of plates, so bring a little patience if you're asking for extras, but the dishes come out fast, hot, and fresh. As for the beverages, beer ranges from basic to bougie and the cocktails scream classy. On a date or just for fun you'll be dazzled by Il Lazzarone.

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.

Batman!

This place is very cool and here's why: upfront you have a beautiful wood-fired oven w open seating and an upbeat vibe. Past the oven in the back is the bar. Batman on the tv, 90s metal (just loud enough), and great service. The char on the crust was perfect and really adds to the flavor. I'll be back.

Burrata. I was very excited for the burrata but was disappointed by the size as in other photos it looked much bigger.

Not enough burrata for the amount of bread, tiny in comparison to the pictures of the burrata both under other reviews and on DoorDash

Locally Owned Gem in KC - Amazing Pizza & True Community Care…read moreAs a volunteer at a small soccer tournament in downtown Kansas City, I ordered from Pizza Tascio (their North Kansas City location) to feed my volunteer partners. I'm so glad I chose this locally owned spot known for their award-winning New York-style pies. The evening turned into a perfect example of why supporting local businesses matters. After a delivery mix-up, the team called right away, took full ownership, offered a refund, and generously made it right. Somehow I ended up with two pizzas instead of one. I felt for the other customer whose order got crossed, but it was clear this locally owned team was taking care of everyone involved--no excuses, just solutions. I brought both pies back to our group of 12 volunteers. Several first-timers were blown away by the fresh, authentic NY-style crust, flavorful sauce, and quality toppings. The pizza was genuinely outstanding and fueled us perfectly after a long day. What impressed me most was how this locally owned business embodies community care. They handled everything with honesty, generosity, and zero drama. In a world where big chains often feel impersonal, Pizza Tascio stands out by truly looking out for their customers and neighborhood. That level of service should be emulated everywhere. They've earned a loyal customer for life. If you're in the Kansas City area, do yourself a favor and support this fantastic local business--you won't be disappointed! Thank you to the Pizza Tascio team--you made our night better and reminded me why local matters.

We stopped here to grab a pizza from our golf outing up north. We got a pie half red Tascio & 3…read moreMeat. We liked the festiveness of the sauce and the thickness of the crust. Think this is a better option to come and just buy a slice at lunch versus ordering a whole pizza so you can try their abundant selection. Overall solid pizza!

Yum yum!!! There are so many pizza options and I feel like they're all good! We tried two of the…read moresummer specials and the spicy Thai one was like really good!!! New and different flavor which was exciting. We also got the pizza that Travis Kelce invented. It was basically just pepperoni, nothing special. Good but I'd probably try something else in the future. I like that they allow you to do half and half so you can try different options! The restaurant was freaking freezing inside though!!! yikes lol

Fun creations. Bring friends and enjoy. But dining solo can get very expensive…read more Since it's just me, I ordered a mini pizza cupperoni. When I saw the box (it was a to go order), I knew I made a mistake. Disclaimer: I did read it was a 6" pie...but didn't properly visualize it, meaning I didn't think a pizza this small could be sold; or at least when charging $10 for it. It's smaller than my hand. Don't get me wrong, it tastes great, just like I expected for their unique KC style pies, but not sure it's worth me returning for a solo dinner, as the next size up, which is considered their small at 10" (the size I should've gotten based on how much food one individual needs for dinner), is another $10 upcharge. So a small pepperoni style pizza, for one hungry person, is $20. Being a math nerd, I looked into the pricing by size and the difference between a mini and a large is not even 3x yet you get over 5x the amount of pizza. PS: thanks for waiting after close for me to pick up my pizza. Extra star award for that.
