    The model train that runs through the dining room and the game room.
    Russ G.

    We came back for more great pizza and to observe more about this fun Pizza place. We were greeted as we came in the door by our previous waiter, Donovan, who was happy to see us. On this trip I noted that some booths had small tv's with cable channels. I took pictures of the train, but due to time constraints, we did not check out the game room. We're saving that for our next trip.

    Cool little pizza place with pinball machines. Our party ordered a few Old fashions and they only had enough for two. They did offer to go and buy alcohol to make more. They had a special that if you bought a 13" specialty pizza you got an 11" for $3. I ordered the Taco pizza with no black olives and it still came with them on it. Not a huge deal for me but... Both the pizzas were large and had good flavors. I'm not sure how long the kid that was taking care of our table had worked there but he had not had much of what is offered on the menu and was much help with suggestions.

    This place is under new management, aka mismanagement. I've been here waiting almost an hour for a pick up order. I had a door dasher wait an hour before too.

    Kids cheese pizza

    My four-year-old actually introduced me to Pizza West! His preschool went here for a field trip.. the kids all made personal pan pizzas and a dessert pizza. My son was so intrigued by this activity he even asked to have his birthday party here..for a fun pizza making party! Food was great. The atmosphere was inviting with really cool upside down hanging lights with a creative flare. Service was good and the owners were hands-on making sure our visit was enjoyable. We did notice a couple issues with our ticket having an extra charge for a kids drink even though on the menu it says drinks are included in a kids meal but other than that we loved our experience. I recommend giving pizza west a try if you're looking for a new pizza/pasta/wing place in Shawnee ks!!

    Accompanied by Stella, we made our way to Pizza West. We were delighted by our server, using the modern lingo. The pasta was "mad hot" and the pizzas were scrumptious. We weren't a fan of the ambience but Stella said she liked the upside down lamp. To anyone who wants a pizza, get some Papa John's. But if you're looking for a sigma skibidy server, go to Pizza West.

    Local pizza place! Wings were fantastic! Pizza was really good! They have a salad bar that you can get a plate of. Smells brings back memories of old Pizza Hut's. The grip I have is it's 15 minutes away! Ha.

    Made to order pizza; 11" thin crust, well dine with pizza sauce, mozzarella, red peppers, and pepperoni!

I ordered online and went through their drive thru. Super easy process and the woman in the drive thru was super nice. The sandwich was very tasty. It came with a sauce on the side but I didn't need any. The Asian pickles gave me enough flavor. The steak was good, had an ok amount of fat on it, but small amounts are no issues for me. My wife tried the Chicken Alfredo and she loved it. I think it was good, maybe the one-cheese kind of Alfredo called the Cacio e Pepe, don't get me wrong, it's very good, but the chicken probably isn't fresh, and the flavor is good. Not what I'm used to. But very good. NOW, the crème brûlée was AMAZING!!!!!! Totally worth the 4.50 each. Will I eat here again, sure. I'll give some of the other foods a try...but the crème brûlée will be a staple.

My beef noodle dish ($10.99) was served just eight minutes after I ordered at the bar, where the service was accommodative and still getting up to speed on order entry. The dish had a tasty sauce, delicious noodles, a good variety of veggies and a good amount of delicious, lean, seasoned, perfectly cooked beef - nice! I only wish the portion had been a little larger. I found the dining area to be clean and recently remodeled, with sound coming from one TV tuned to a sports channel inside. I also noticed a drive-thru lane outside. They opened eight minutes late and the employees took the parking spots closest to the entrance - not cool. I also noticed a 4% credit card surcharge. Overall, I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up for the delicious dish.

    How fitting that Avellutos was our first meal out in 2026! I've long been a fan of this place and…read morethe brothers that run it. Years ago they catered my daughter's wedding and had been on our rotations of favorites for a long time. I was sad when they closed and we moved away for a bit too- but now they are back! Highly recommend the caprese salad, vodka penne and the eggplant parm. Also a great place for just a slice of pizza. Service always has a smile and it's always fast and delicious. So if you haven't tried this KC gem. Please go enjoy!!

    Avelluto's Pizzeria & Ristorante is my new favorite Italian restaurant…read more I was driving home from some appointments and stopped in for lunch. Avelluto's is located in Mission, in the same shopping complex as Rally House, Mud Pie, and a Wing Stop, and Tipsy's Liquor. It's a small place, maybe dozen tables. You place your order at the front counter. If you're dining in you get a number. I was taking away and got the Eggplant Parmigiana and Tiramisu. While waiting I saw people continuing to come in and order, then waiting for a tablets to open. I think most of the people were considerate enough to not linger after eating. So the turnover on the tables was pretty quick. The Eggplant Parmigiana was really good. The breading on the eggplant was crispy and well-seasoned, the spaghetti was perfectly cooked, the sauce was deceptively simple. I say deceptively because it was a straight marinara but wonderfully flavored. And the Tiramisu! The best Tiramisu I've had. I went back with FPO and got pizza by the slice, the Chicken Parmigiana, and a small Meatball with Rigatoni. And of course, another slice of Tiramisu. Everything was wonderful the second time too. That tells me they're consistent and I will be going back again. And probably again after that.

Food-wise, I had the Spaghetti & Wagyu Beef Meatball, and our table also got the lasagna and chicken parm. Everything was good and everyone was happy, but for the price (about double most other Italian chains), nobody was really blown away... until dessert. Between the crème brûlée and tiramisu, the entire table agreed that was the standout part of the meal. They were slammed when we went and we had a few service changes because of the rush. Getting drinks and putting our order in took longer than usual, but once we had a consistent server, it was all good. Busy nights happen. They also did a solid job keeping everything clean even during the chaos, and the restaurant itself is really beautiful. I'll be back, but I'm probably coming back just for the crème brûlée. The food was good, it just felt pricey for not having anything that really stood out in portion or flavor for my whole family. I had multiple family members in my party who've eaten here a lot tell me it tastes noticeably different than it used to. They said they've mentioned it to management before and were told changes were made to cut costs, and honestly, it shows in quality unfortunately. They don't plan to come back because of that, but I'll happily return for dessert.

    When the Rieger Hotel left Crossroads there was a hole in my heart that I didn't think could be…read morefilled but then one wise guy moved in and I think my heart is whole again. The Wise Guy describes itself as an Italian tavern and that is an impeccable description because it's laid back, not too stuffy but still a classy joint. The food is stellar, the happy hour prices are great and the drink selection has something for everyone. First off, happy hour is from 4-6 pm Monday-Friday and has some great options for eating and drinking. The appetizers are all $2 off and with reasonable prices to begin with it's just icing on the cake. I would recommend some classics like the mozzarella sticks, which are fried golden brown and filled with ooey gooey cheese -the portion is large enough to share but beware because you won't want to- also, the tried and true Garlic Parmesan Fries are excellent. If you're in a cheesy mood but don't want anything too heavy then the whipped ricotta is a memorable choice, it has a nice tang from the citrus as well as a little bit of sweet heat from a hot honey drizzle. Of course it's served with pillowy fluffy seasoned focaccia bread. Now onto a MUST order! You may think of salads as boring or an afterthought or a healthier side option but, one of my favorite things on The Wise Guy's menu is the Chopped Italian Salad. It is literally just divine. If I'm at The Wise Guy and I don't order it then call the doctor because something is seriously wrong with me. They don't skimp on the toppings so this salad is filling not flimsy. The tangy roasted garlic vinaigrette is something that if they bottled it up I would buy it. The salad is always perfectly tossed and coated without being too soggy or slippery. It's hearty because of the trio of Italian meats that are studded throughout and on top the bed of romaine lettuce, think prosciutto, soppressata and capicola. The holy trinity of cured meats if you ask me. There's also briny peperoncini peeking through and chopped up squares of creamy provolone cheese adorning the top. If my ode to this salad didn't convince you then I don't know what else will! Just get it! Next up is the drinks, at happy hour they do $10 martinis which is a deal worth celebrating especially when there are a few to choose from. My all time favorite and most ordered is Amalfi Coast which is a fruit/citrus forward martini but, is always well balanced and strong. I love the slight sweetness from the peach infused vodka which pairs so well with the intensely citrus forward limoncello, these flavors are all balanced out with the herbaceous notes of basil. It's finished off with bubbly prosecco which makes it effervescent instead of syrupy. Last but not least are their pizzas, you didn't think I could cover an Italian restaurant without mentioning pizza did you? This also happens to be one of the best happy hour deals, all pizzas are $15 when some are normally priced as high as $25. The pizzas have a thin tavern style crust which is how I justify almost eating a whole one the other evening. My favorite pie is the prosciutto mozzarella, which is simple but notable. The prosciutto is crispy and not chewy or stringy, the robust red sauce as the base is comforting paired with the melty mild creamy mozzarella cheese. And to top it off a generous helping of fresh basil brightens it up a bit. Though this one is my personal favorite all four options The Wise Guy offers are incredible, you really can't go wrong!

    Wise Guy is overall pretty good. I stopped in on a first Friday with a couple of friends, and they…read morewere able to add us to the list and get us in in about 20 minutes. I appreciated that they had a text feature to let us know that our table was ready. We shared the fries, a caesar salad and the rigatoni alla vodka, and the fries were a shining star! The rigatoni was a little too al dente bordering on chewy, but some people prefer that. I do think they could benefit from some better tables for three or four people, there is mostly just bar seating and 2-top stool seating. We had a server who was a bit awkward and it seemed like she was trying out different accents on us, which was a bit weird and confusing and it threw off our table's conversation every time she stopped by. Definitely want to come back for a happy hour!
