Got here just as they opened on a Saturday. The service was friendly and efficient as always. The food here is always good. I ordered my usual Chicago Dog plus an Italian Beef sandwich. The food and service here rate high, but the booths could use an update. In each booth I have sat in, the seat cushions are so worn and broke down that one is sitting on the wood frame. However, this slight inconvenience will not stop me from returning. read more

First timer. I came for the hotdogs. I came back for the dogs and got two. The polish with Kraut is the way to go. Also had the chili cheese dog the 2nd time around. Small place, there can be a wait we'll worth it. Oh and yes I played the Pinball machine (my husband didn't know I played pinball) I needed to go to get the high score. And eat more hotdogs. read more

One of the things that I miss about my time living in Chicagoland was the abundance of places to grab a Chicago Dog or a Beef sandwich. Pizza Man is serving up both and doing a righteous and authentic job at delivering two of my all-time favorites. All the basics are there...Vienna beef, sport peppers, poppy seed bun, giardiniera, aus jus...it's all there, and the details prove that this joint in a suburban stripmall is legit. I had one of each and am eager to go back for more; next time I must try the Italian beef pizza. read more

The authentic Italian beef sandwich is amazing and never disappoints! One of the best kept secrets in Kansas City.

After helping some friends move we stopped in here for a quick lunch, I have driven past this place several times and never stopped in. The have several Pizza, Sandwiches and Hotdogs. I ordered the Italian Roast Beef with Cheese Sandwich. There was a lot of meat and a lot of sandwich for the price. My friends ate their Chicago dogs and wanted another one. It took quite a while to get someone to come to the front counter. read more

Food - Very tasty Pizza and I hear the sandwiches are great as welll Service - Quick and courteous Ambiance - Classic Old School (think 80s) Pizza Joint with Arcade game(s). Had Never been here but have been to grinders (just to the South of this place. Good prices for good pizza be it S/M/L Had the deluxe, closest to a Supreme and it made a "first bite impression"! Fresh tasting ingredients, crispy cracker thin crust, not as much Mozzarella as Minsky's (my fav) but enough to keep toppings from falling off/apart to the cheese. Interior could use a makeover, but the OG hole-in-the-wall 'charm' has it's merits. Paper plate for dine in, water is self serve and soft drinks are by the bottle so NO fountain drink serving machine here. Seating for maybe 44 if fully packed w/o the 5 or so barstools facing the wall. Solid offering in the area especially IF the old Godfather's is closed @ 127th and Antioch. read more

Best Chicago Style Beef Sandwich in town! Served with Beef Aujus and Gardenier. Should be on Diners Drive Inn and Dives.

I had the Chicago Dog--I've never had one in Chicago so I had nothing to compare it to. It was good, but I removed the peppers as they're a bit on the too hot/spicy for me scale. It wasn't busy at all, though as I sat consuming my meal, people got take-out. If I go again, I'll try their Italian beef sandwich. Not sure how it compares to anything in Chicago, but I've heard it was good since this first visit. read more

I have been to the Pizza Man three times now. I've only successfully eaten there once. The first time, I arrived around 5:45p, not realizing that they were only open 11a-6p most days. After some discussion with the cashier and someone in the back, it was decided it was too late for us to order. The second time, I got there right at noon for lunch. I had the Italian beef sandwich. It was incredible, and definitely reminded me of the ones I've had in Chicago. They have bagged chips and cans of soda to go along with the sandwiches. There were a lot of regulars coming in, and the place was decorated with Chicago memorabilia and murals. The restaurant is clean, although dated. Last night I got the craving for an Italian beef sandwich. Not wanting to repeat my mistake from before, I arrived at 4:45p. This time a sign in the door told me they were closed from 4/13 to 4/21. It is somewhat frustrating to want to support a local business that has such limited hours and then randomly closes for a week. They've been open for a long time and seem to have a loyal following of regulars, so it must work for them. read more

The customer service was great. I got a Chicago dog and an Italian sandwich both were delicious! Super chill spot, I enjoyed all the Chicago memorabilia on the walls. It's a nice touch in my opinion to be able to grab a cup with ice if you pic a canned beverage. Great place to grab a bite on a lunch break read more

The Pizza Man was my go to when I worked down the street, and nothing has changed. The food is still phenomenal, my favorite spot for friendly service, and a perfect Italian beef or Chicago dog in Kansas City. All the pizzas are amazing as well, and the service is far and friendly. Plenty of seating for dine in and some pinball games too! Lots of Chicago decor on the walls, and it's very clean. read more

I ordered a hot dog w/ mustard & sauerkraut and a medium cheese pizza. All was delicious

Trying to find some Chicago flavors in KC. Stop #1 The Pizza Man Being from Chicago, I love deep dish pizza, but no it can't be eaten all the time. The Pizza Man does a good version of thin crust and you can get it with Italian beef and giardiniera. They have leaned into the idea of an Italian beef, even with serving the pizza with a side of aus jus. There hours are limited on weekends. They close at 6 on Friday and Saturday. The beef is really good. I will go back to try the sandwich. read more

The best Italian beef ever.The polish dog is to die for.Prices are very competed with most restaurants in the area.

The pizzas taste so good! We love their sandwiches and hot dogs, too! We will go back and try more food there!

Any place named 'Pizza Man' better have very good pizza, and this place certainly delivered. My large pepperoni slice with side salad and can weekday special ($6.99) was ready just a few minutes after I ordered at the counter, where the service from one of the owners was friendly and helpful. The slice measured 8" x 8", with a thin, crunchy, chewy crust, a flavorful sauce, tasty (but not plentiful) toppings and delicious cheese. The pizza was tasty without being greasy. I also liked the side salad, which measured 4" x 4" x 1-1/2" with fresh mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, carrots, cabbage, etc. The dining area was clean, spacious and somewhat dated with four video games, but without background music. I also noticed a small patio outside. Overall, very nice! read more

FPO and I took another break in our KC BBQ tour to try Pizza Man. My favorite sister likes this place for their Chicago Dog. She picked up lunch for us here once before my downward spiral towards a plant based diet began (and that's still a work in progress) and I thought the dog was okay. When FPO came to town we went back. I got a small veggie pizza and on that first visit FPO got an Italian Beef sandwich with g-named Italian pickled vegetables, the name of which I never remember and that I wouldn't be able to spell in any case. It was love at first bite. The meat was hot and tender, the au jus was flavorful, and the g-named pickled vegetables were just the right amount of crunch and tang to offset too much of a good thing ... so I heard. I really liked the veggie pizza too. I've only heard of Chicago deep dish and the pizzas here are thin crust, which I like. The veggie has two kinds of olives, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Crunchy, salty, sweet, perfect with the gooey cheese (that I know isn't plant based) and crispy crust. The second time we went FPO tried the Polish dog with Krauts which was unsuccessful in de-throning the Italian Beef Sandwich. I stuck with the veggie pizza in part because I really, really like it and in part because it's the only thing I can eat. Which is just fine with me. FPO has plans to further explore the menu, which is also just fine with me because I know I'm going to get a good pizza pie. read more

Should be called 'Hot Dog Man' or, especially 'ITALIAN BEEF MAN'. I'll say it here- the pizza isn't bad, but the Italian dogs and Hot Beef Sandwich are some of the best in the city!! Be sure to visit soon. read more

I have known of this place a long time but never eaten here until recently and boy and I am glad I gave it a try! The shaved beef sandwich with cheese is truly remarkable. Today I decided to try the meatball sub and a polish dog. I think the shaved beef with cheese is a better sandwich but the meatball sub was great. The polish dog also really got the mark. I have never been to Chicago so I can't comment on the authenticity but I can tell you this is the definition of comfort food. read more

We've been coming here for years, for Chicago dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. But yesterday, I read about this Italian beef pizza w/ Giardiniera, and dipping sauce. It was one of the best pizza's I've ever had. A thin cracker crust just like i like. I ate the leftovers cold today for lunch, still amazing. If you like Italian beef and pizza, you've got to try this. My husband had his usual 2 Chicago dogs. read more
