Authentic Neapolitan style pizza! While visiting St. Joseph we decided to try Il Lazzarone. We ordered the Margherita DOC and were amazed. Every ingredient on the pizza itself was fresh and beautiful seasoned. The pizza only took a few minutes to make, so we were in and out fairly quickly. Overall, we loved the pizza and cannot wait to be back and try another combination! read more

Il Lazzarone - Pizza Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Solid spot in St Joe that is locally owned and has a unique flavor. Traditional-ish Italian pizza! Yum! I love the crust which is simple and chewy. Toppings are basic, whole ingredients. They also do a pretty good job of having some decent local brews on tap, which I super-appreciate. I like to change it up when I go, so I don't order the same thing every time, but I am a vegetarian and they have a lot of options for me. Also, I'd recommend getting a side of balsamic glaze with any pizza you get. It does cost extra, but it's savory sweet and just takes the pizza to a different level. I've knocked it down a single star bc service can be a little spotty at times. Atmosphere is chill and it has a very industrial, modern feel. When the weather is nice, go out back and sit on their patio! read more

Can't say enough about the service or quality of pizza! I called ahead as we were driving back to St. Louis from Nebraska and wanted a good dinner (quick). When I explained to the guy who answers, he quickly told me that when we arrived, he would help make our pizzas so they would come out in about 6 minutes and we would be able to eat and go quickly. And, he was right, we had our pizzas in about 6 minutes and they were outstanding. Wood fired pizza, thin, crispy crust and great ingredients. We had a pepperoni, carne (meat) and La Rughetta (with balsamic drizzle- made in house). We all ate every piece! The only pizza I snapped a picture of was my own (Rughetta). I would get this again. read more

Food was very good. Service was ok. Very surprised that this pizza place does not carry sausage or ranch dressing. The server stated she always receives requests, however the owner will not bring it in. Hoping they may do it in the future read more

This place is the bomb. I came into town for work and saw this place was highly rated, so I figured I would give it a try. It has its own parking lot which was nice. I walked in on a Monday evening and it was EMPTY, there was no one there. I was helped immediately and given some really great recommendations. The pizza came out SO quick, it was impressive, and it took all of me not to eat it all in one sitting. The crust was perfectly cooked, the toppings all complimented each other, the cheese was the perfect consistency. I will definitely be eating here every time I'm in town and I highly recommend trying it. The prices were crazy as well, I ate under $15! Definitely the best food I've had in the area. read more

I usually don't eat pizza. But, wood fired pizza is one kind of pizza I will eat. The crust to topping ratio is just the way I like it and the dough is nice and chewy but light. Our picky 14 year old ate a whole 10 inch pepperoni and said it was great. I had a salad and one slice of my husbands pizza. I thought the ingredients all tasted fresh and we left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. I would recommend a ten inch pizza per person. I hope you check this place out, read more

Il Lazzarone - Crepa - Pizza Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

The waiter (Jesse?) was rude and made me so uncomfortable from the get-go. I had a roll of TP in my purse (because of allergies) and he asked if I had diarrhea. That's just unprofessional and weird. When I explained I was sick he joked AGAIN that I had diarrhea. He also purposely touched one of my friend's shoulders. Unprofessional again. ALSO he was snapping at whistling at us to get our attention. Use your words please-- you're an adult. The list goes on of weird things throughout the night that made me uncomfortable. The food was good, but I will not be coming back here. read more

I've eaten pizza in Naples, and I can say that this is very true to the Neapolitan traditional pizza. Fun ingredient combinations also add to the appeal, such as an over-easy egg on top. I like that they have both red and white sauce pizzas, and that there really seems to be a focus on authenticity and quality ingredients. I love that St. Joe is getting more places like this. read more

Excellent pizza, Chef is fun to watch, great service! The kids had fun watching pizza being made. read more

My family came up from out-of-state and we ate there last week! The crust on the pizza was amazing and every pizza was unique! My mushroom was tasty and delicate. My sister had a quatero fromaggio and I was so jealous! My granddaughter had a pesto(my favorite) and my hubby had the carne with sausages. I cannot wait to eat there again and do not skip the dessert pizza. We tried the nuttela with berries pizza and were not disappointed! read more

Their unique specialty pizzas are always a treat. In a town not known for great food options, this place is a refreshing option. Highly recommend. read more

Great place! Great pizza. Definitely a staple in St. Joe. All the pizzas are fantastic !

Met friends & family from Kansas City and Wisconsin at the brewery heard good things about Il Lazzarone & decided to try their pizza. The greeter at the door was complaining about being called in to work. Asked how many of us there were. When we said ten he was very rude and said we should have called. Handed us our silver ware and told us to sit in the patio area. We decided to sit in a shaded area and he got upset because he told us to sit at the high-rise tables. We were not in a hurry and would have ordered drinks but he was so rude. Decided to leave and he ask us to leave from the patio exit. When I approached him and told him I thought he was very rude and needed to learn some manners he smarted back. This could have all been handle so differently. Think some retraining on manners while greeting customers is in order. Never in all our travels eating out have I ever been treated so rudely. read more

5 stars for an outstanding Italian spot. While back in my hometown of Saint Joseph to attend to a personal matter, my sister and I decided that we wanted to try one of the best reviewed restaurants in town. We looked to Yelp and found Il Lazzarone, which is located on Frederick and happened to be only a few blocks away from where I was staying, so we headed over for some early dinner. We arrived and found a fairly empty venue (combination of the COVID pandemic and beating the dinner crowd). The interior was well decorated with a fun Italian look and the kitchen in the center of the venue, while the patio in the back was also quite nice and semi-enclosed to make eating in cooler temperatures possible. My sister and I grabbed a seat as the waiter brought out menus. We asked about some of the drink options, and he offered to bring us out samples of any beers we wanted. After trying several, I decided to go with one of the delicious red beers on tap (which went very well with my pizza). The keg was unfortunately running dry and would only serve half a beer, so the waiter gave me that beer for free and went to get a different one for me! He also thanked us several times for coming out to support the venue during these hard times, which was something I really appreciated. While Midwestern politeness is something to be expected at lots of restaurants in the area, what really set this place apart was the outstanding food. I ordered one of the personal size specialty pizzas called The Crepa. Included on the pizza was bacon, cheese, garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, and boy was that pizza absolutely delicious. It was a good size pizza that was just big enough to really fill me up or easily be shared with 2 people (my sister ordered one of the vegetarian options and was equally impressed). We then finished our meal with a Nutella pizza (including the strawberry and banana option) and it was also delicious. I've had pizza from other places for a lot more money that had a lot more acclaim, and I would say that these pizzas held their own and then some. Overall, Il Lazzarone delivered us an excellent pizza and beer experience. If you are in downtown St. Joseph and looking for something other than bar food or BBQ, you should definitely give this venue a look. read more

Found this place while passing through town and it was a very worth while detour. They do wood fire oven pizza with interesting toppings. They also have a great beer selection of local brews available. We particularly liked the Brussels Sprout and bacon pizza. The pizzas are thin and delicious and it was perfect to get a couple for the table and share so we could try multiple combinations. read more

Our favorite pizza in the Midwest! Fresh and made to order. Plenty of choices and combinations. Our family chose the Margherita, Quattro Formaggio and Salsiccia Italiana pizzas. Each pizza was slightly larger than a personal pizza. Our server was knowledgeable about the ingredients and very friendly. Worth stopping in, for sure! read more

Ordered the Margarita Mascarpone, and the Patata. LOVED the latter of the two. Both were tasty, but if you're looking for a pizza place that loads on the toppings, this one is not for you. Authentic??? That one is still out. Would we come back??? well, probably. The coolest thing is that the pizza oven was imported from Naples. They keep it simple, and the ambiance lends to nice night out at the pub with friends. read more

Four of us came for dinner on Thursday, September 27th. Three of the four of us had grown up in St. Joseph, and two of us were there for our 50th class reunion. I know that you close at 9 PM, and we did get there a little late, at 8:30 PM, but we ordered a total of three pizzas, plus cocktails. The food was fantastic, and the guy behind the counter making the pizza was super nice, but our server was just plain nasty, even though she was given a good tip. I don't know her name, but she wore glasses and had tattoos. We were trying to be really friendly with her the whole time, but she would barely speak to us. We could all tell that she was angry that we came in late, and more than once, we caught her out of the corner of our eyes, looking over at us and rolling her eyes. There's no excuse for this, and it soured our experience there. As I said, we all enjoyed our food, and the cook was nice, but it's doubtful we will go back there if she's still a server, because she has absolutely zero customer service skills. In fact, I would just say she was downright snotty. read more

Their pizza was sooo good! I ordered supremo taste delicious and with fresh basils on top. Indeed an Italian pizza. Just like the one I had in Rome and Naples. I'll definitely will come back here and try the other pizza. read more

Best pizza ever! We especially like the crepa! Service is great as well. The building has a great style, only downside is the parking is a little sketch. read more

We were in town as a stop on a cross country road trip and were dying for some good food. This place has such an extensive pizza list that there's something for everyone. That thin crust is incredible. Their beer list isn't huge at this time as they're just opening up, but they have good stuff on their list. Service is good, ambiance is great (love the patio seating) and playlist is on point. read more

So refreshing to have pizza that isn't papa johns or Pizza Hut. The place looked a bit rustic and cool. We were there for lunch and it was dead. I could see how lunch time would be packed. It was us and another couple. It's cool to see the cooks toss and flip the south as they prepare your food. The music was a tad bit too loud for my liking but the staff were super friendly. We ordered the garlic bread and two pizzas. One with red sauce and one without, the menu of pizzas is separated in these two categories. The garlic bread was different. It was a bit sweet but tasted really good. It was sliced up in little strips and looked and tasted nothing like your normal garlic bread. It was a little burnt. The supremo pizza was good but also a little burnt. It reminded me of authentic pizza like how I would get in rome or London. The dough is hand tossed and tastes very fresh. The other pizza which I can't remember the name of was also really good. Wasn't burnt but I probably prefer the white sauce pizza over the red sauce pizza. Covered with rocket and topped with a salami. Overall I would come back since I love how it reminded me of pizza from Italy. :) read more

The food was a little different than your normal pizza. But I must say it was delicious! I'm usually pretty picky about my food. I got the quattro formaggio and my husband got the crepa, both were amazing! Highly recommend read more

Well made food, fast service and overall good quality. I recommend this to all who want good Italian food.

We went for lunch on a rainy Saturday and had the best service and best pizza! My boys loved watching how the pizza was made and even got to play with a little dough that they made into small pizzas for them. They now claim this is the best pizza ever and their favorite restaurant ever. Thanks for a fun morning and delicious food; we'll be back soon! read more
