This place have provided me with some of the best pizza I have ever tasted I Stan this place 100%

Great little place downtown in Independence. We ordered a veggie calzone, a pizza with pepperoni sausage and mushrooms, and an Italian sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious. The staff was super nice and welcoming. read more

We ordered the chicken Alfredo. It was delicious. Plenty of tasty ingredients on a good crust. Curbside service was good.

I was a little disappointed since my last visit (before covid). The toppings were about 1/2 of what I remember. I ordered a large meat lovers pizza and not every bite had meat. I don't know if it was a bad day for the chef, but will not be visiting there anymore. Sorry guys! read more

Showed up at noon to a sign that said sorry for the inconvenience we won't be opening until 1230! No big deal so we waited! Walked back to the door at 1230 to a sign now saying sorry not opening until 1:30! Wtf very disappointed read more

The pizza was great honestly great. My husband is from independence so we wanted to try something local while we were in from stl. We had an Alfredo cheese pizza and a bacon/jalapeno pizza. Both were delicious. The crust looks thick and heavy but ended up being buttery and fluffy. We will come back again in the future and try the calzones. The lady next to us had one and it was bigger than her head! read more

We were on the main Square in Independence for Santa Cali gon days, looking for a place to sit down and relax for dinner. Thankfully we looked on our trusty Yelp app, and came across Square Pizza. The order counter was up at the front, and the prices are really reasonable. The crust is not to doughy, I was worried about that based on some of the other reviewers. It's definitely a homemade hand-tossed crust, baked with a nice crispness. Toppings tasted fresh, there was plenty of sauce which we really enjoyed. The pizza came to our table quickly even though they were quite busy. We did not partake in arcade, but they had some nice looking pinball machines and a Half Men. Definitely a nice find on the square for a quick casual dinner. read more

This place is a small little gem in Independence but it's very good! Reasonably priced and a perfect stop if you're up on the square

Last night was a chill Fall evening and even at 4:30 in the afternoon, the street was already darkening, what with the shift back to Central Standard Time and the rain pattering down. But inside Square Pizza it was bright and smelled very good. We needed to be somewhere near the Independence Square by 5:30 so I called ahead and asked for our pizza order to be ready for us to eat-in at 4:30. When Hubby and I stepped in the door at Square Pizza, it reminded me just why we like this place. It's a cheerful, interesting space and the servers are helpful and friendly. And it happens to be located in a town I really love --- Independence Missouri. The pizza was ready to be delivered to our table as soon as we arrived. This time we ordered a Meat Lovers pie and it was very tasty as always. A couple of my other special favorites are the Margherita and the The Square House Supreme but no matter which pie you order, you can count on fresh ingredients and generous amounts of the toppings. I and various and assorted members of our family have been visiting Square Pizza for several years. It's one of our favorites and definitely one of the best Pizza places in the Independence area. read more

I have to admit I was wrong about this place.... i saw it on Yelp and didnt think it looked that great, but hubby saw it and really wanted to try it. So we went and I have to say it was fantastic. the service was very good. The pizza was great. Salads were great. Clean and friendly atmosphere. The only negative i would have is that they are a little inconsistent. We went in and ordered a pizza, a couple side salads, and sodas on a Sunday... went back on Friday again ordered the same thing. it was good both times but there were differences... the pizza crust was different, the salads were twice the size the second time, the side of ranch dressing was half the size the second time. both really good just not consistent just a few days apart. But overall we enjoyed both experiences and would recommend them for sure. read more

Stopped in for lunch after the Truman Library. The ratings and input that I found were 100% accurate. My wife and I split a small supreme thin crust pizza. It was excellent. Price was reasonable and the restaurant clean. Service was friendly. read more

Freaking outstanding pizza. We dug every part of this place. From the oddly square-shaped pans, to the badass extra sauce, to the oddly somber - yet very friendly - owner. This place was a win all the way around. Obviously a favorite of the locals, we were pretty through with our meal and interacting with a manical group of children on some sort of birthday party / sugar binge / total freakout, when my son discovered the back room of games. $5 unlimited game play. Classic arcade games. Groovy. Granted, some of them were in a state of disrepair - but it was $5 unlimited play. I remain the undisputed Galaga Champion of the family. And the pizza was great. Ask for an extra bowl of sauce. It is wonderful. read more

I try not to complain too much when I find places I like in other towns but here is my location lament again...Why can we not get some of these places closer to downtown?! I love leaving town but it seems like I always crave this place when I don't have an hour to dedicate to getting there and back. Seriously, driving through Independence at 1:30 pm on a one lane road (construction woes) added an extra 15 minutes to my already 30 minute trip to try this little gem on the square but honestly, it didn't stop me from completing the trip. (See what they did with the name there? Square pizza on the Square. Get it?) I think some of their quaint-ness would be lost in downtown but dang it, I can use these reviews to be a tad selfish, right? ;) What I love about these guys: 1. Their building and interior are so freaking cute! 2. Ever since the old school days of growing up in a town where Pizza Hut was king and they had square pizzas, I've always been a fan of pizzas that are shaped 'wrong'. 3. And that wrongly shaped crust is delicious! Not too thick, not too thin, and soft! The crust on the end has a slight crunch but none of the crust feels overly buttered or crispy and for the most part, I love pizza crust that is soft. A+ in my book. 4. The toppings are the perfect size and still contain flavor from being cooked for just the right time. I love that the veggies still have a little bit of crunch in them but compliment the pizza instead of blending in with the other ingredients or overwhelming them because they were not cooked long enough. The chicken/ranch pizza is really good for this as is the house supreme! What I hate about these guys: 1. Location! I will not continue to harp on them because it does give me an excuse to get out of town but do not get me started... 2. Price! I hate that a 'slice=1/4 of a small pizza' for lunch was $5 but a small pizza is anywhere from $11-$14 on the menu. As a 'Lactard' I am indulging when I purchase a slice of pizza and have to take medicine in order to enjoy it. Sometimes I do not want to have leftovers that I will continually have to medicate to enjoy but here, that is the most affordable way to go. Not a problem, just not my favorite thing. 3. My inner alcoholic would love some beer to enjoy with my pizza but I haven't really seen that they have any there. If they do, I'm sure it's not an extensive menu since I haven't noticed it the two times I have been here. So, if you haven't been here yet, next time you are in Independence, there really is no question as to where you should dine. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. But, I can't say that it's good enough to travel the 30 minutes to enjoy unless you're enjoying a leisurely day off and want to explore a new area. The downtown square has some great looking shops to enjoy and could probably make an afternoon here completely worth the short-ish drive from KC proper. read more

Our pizza was so greasy! We got chicken and tomato as our toppings, but the chicken was dark meat. I've never seen or heard of dark meat chicken on a pizza, but we did not enjoy it! If you picked off the chicken the pizza wasn't so bad, but unfortunately the greasy chicken ruined this experience for us. read more

Best pizza....period I like Minksys, California pizza kitchen, and Tims pizza, but nothing compares with Square Pizza! read more

Haven't had a good local pizza place in forever! We stopped through on our family vacation and needed something to eat quickly. I ordered the sausage and pepper calzone with honey bbq wings. Sooooooo delicious!!! Our kids ordered a cheese pizza which was also delicious. Cheese was melting off their lips. The customer service was also excellent. They were very knowledgeable in the menu and helpful in offering suggestions. Cool came out to ask how everything was. read more

Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Missouri

After visiting museums in Liberty and Kearney, we came back to Independence for dinner. We decided to have some pizza at Square Pizza. We both had a side salad and a small pizza with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, and onions. Salads and pizza were very good. Excellent service! read more

Friendly employees, pizza is always fresh! I haven't had one bad experience here. They are quick when you order online. Very clean!

We've been to Square Pizza twice now, I wanted to make sure before I just (literally) grabbed the phone and posted a 5 Star review. SO I waited patiently and went back and it's not a fluke! This is really excellent pizza! I'm not a huge pizza fan so it's got to be REALLY good to get my attention. Like the name says it's a square pizza. The toppings are fresh and abundant. The crust has got to be the most light, airy crispy crust...it's absolutely a hands down favorite. I like that it's not over powering the toppings, but it's such a compliment to the rest of the pie. The first time we went we got the Monterey Pizza: Ranch Sauce, Chicken, Red Onions, and Tomatoes and of course Monterey Cheese! It will always have a special place in my heart! We didn't change a thing wanting to see how it came out "as is" and it was amazing. There was plenty of chicken so no piece was cheated. I loved the ranch sauce and the red onions not only made it pleasing to the eye but added some awesome flavor! The last pizza we got was The Big Island: Canadian bacon, Pineapple and Pine Nuts. Now this wasn't my first choice when I went back but it's a fav of the BF's so I went along. OK I see the error in my ways...I've been ordering this pizza from the wrong place! Square Pizza in one bite changed my opinion of the classic "Hawaiian Pizza" I loved the pine nuts gave it a great crunch and creaminess. The Canadian bacon was not too thin or too thick you knew it was there, and the pineapple chunks gave it a touch of sweetness. AaaaLOHA!!!! I am very much aware that I haven't even scratched the surface of the offerings Square Pizza has; calzones, salads, wings even! But as far as I'm concerned I could live a long and happy life just getting the pizzas. read more

LOVE Square Pizza! A friend introduced me to it a few years ago. The biggest thing I noticed is how much they put on the pizza! When I ask for extra cheese I feel like I actually get extra. Price is more than if you go to a chain restaurant but I don't mind paying extra for more quality. Give this place a try if you are in the mood for a new pizza place. read more

Square Pizza - Large w/ Pepperoni and Italian Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Decided to try square pizza after a recommendation from a coworker. A group of us tried it for lunch and enjoyed the meal. We sampled three medium square pizzas - Hawaiian, veggie and meat lovers. I was intrigued by the Hawaiian because it was advertised to contain pine nuts - a unique twist - I didn't see or taste any pine nuts. Bummer. The veggie pizza was really good and piled high with fresh veg. The meat lovers was good as well. I wouldn't rush back but enjoyed the lunch. read more

Square Pizza - Hawaiian square - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Missouri

I would compare the quality of pizza to Casey's Convenience Stores. Crust is more traditional in thickness. I didn't care for the sausage or hamburger meat pellets. Would have liked plain cheese or pepperoni better, I think. You order at the counter, fix your own drinks, and pick up your own pizza. No frills. You also need to get a key at the counter for the restroom. (I had to wait in the pizza ordering line to get the key.) Overall, was disappointed because I'd read rave reviews and it just didn't meet the hype. On the upside, it's reasonably priced, we were the only ones in the restaurant for a while, the place is clean, and the pizza is square. read more

I don't have much to say other than it was good pizza. Mr. C and I had the Margherita Pizza and were satisfied. Good for vegetarians. Food: Good Service: They bring it to you, but you place the order at the counter Would I Go Back: If I'm in the area and hungry. read more

Good pizza, reminded me a bit of Pizza Hut. Ordered the thin crust it was not thin and crunchy like I was hoping for, basically a pan pizza. We had the supreme, good, lots of toppings. The pizza is square, but still cut into odd-sized triangle pieces, who knew? Perfectly edible, but don't go out of your way to eat here. read more

I've been eating at Square Pizza for several years. I don't live in the area, but it's a favorite of some family of mine who do. The establishment always seems to be clean and, let's face it, it's kindof fun to say you ate a square pizza, so they definitely have the novelty factor going for them. I always enjoy the pizza. It's not anything special, but it's always really good. LOVE the crust and the sauce. The menu is quite diverse, so it's nice to have a selection, although, I'll be honest, when it comes to pizza, I typically stick to supreme! One thing that I value is that their pizza is NOT greasy! The salad always leaves a bit to be desired. The ingredients rarely seem very fresh. So, unless you are absolutely dying for a salad, I'd skip it and stick to the good stuff! read more

Square Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Great pizza that is full of cheese and toppings and a relaxing environment! It is a hidden gem in Independence!

Y.U.M.! I'm still glowing after experiencing the best, purely unadulterated moment of cheese bliss I 've had in ages. O.M.G. - to die for! Being sick of chains, my hubs and I are trying to frequent more local joints. I ordered a Greek salad. I always use this as a barometer to feel out the place. If they serve a nasty salad, then I freak out thinking what the other food may be like. While small (not for the price), the salad was fresh and loaded. We ordered a large pizza; half pepperoni and half six cheese. Obviously it was square; interestingly it was cut in to triangles. So for all you peeps who are afraid of square pizza you can put your fears to rest. It was just the right crust, landing somewhere between a thin and thick. The toppings were piled on; no skimping on the cheese or pepperoni. BTW, the pepperoni was crisp, which is how we like it. For me the cheese was the best part. Cooked to a golden, bubbling, beautiful ooze, the cheese provided a stringy delight with every bite. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the price was awesome. We will definitely be returning. Oh, I almost forgot to mention they have an arcade. $5 gets you unlimited play. read more

DELICIOUS! We love this place! The pizza is amazing and we absolutely LOVE the pizza donuts. My brother goes weekly to the game cafe and we try to order some every time. Seriously don't sleep on this place. The pizza donuts are affordable too. read more

This is my favorite pizza place. My husband loves the buffalo chicken and although I love it too, my favorite is the Monterey Bay. We usually get a large pizza with half of each and have left overs for a couple of days. If you like unique pizza this is definitely the place to try out! read more

My family took me here for my birthday, they had eaten there before and loved it. I truly enjoyed this establishment and the pizza was awesome. I would recommend Square Pizza totally. read more

I always liked walking the square and stopping into get a pizza but recently I took my friend and our kids out to eat here. The main dining area was pretty full but recently was showed the back room by my son, where they have video games. So were sat there we got our kids quarters our food took a while to get to us. when it came it was in to go containers? Even though we got our kids 10 in quarters each. While reading other reviews it would have been good to know they have 5 dollar unlimited play!!! they played ate and went back to spend the quarters. While my friend and I where still eating one of the staff came and told us we needed to leave as they were having a party I think they should have posted a party was going to start or the tables were reserved. But instead we stopped eating left with our food and quarters. read more

Stopped in here because of the great reviews. I was not disappointed at all. I had a pep/beef pizza. Plenty of toppings, lots of cheese, sauce was unique, and dough was a good change up from your typical franchise pizza. I'll be back on my next KC trip. read more

I like this pizza. Gives a break to our normal pizza place. Good sauce great taste and the price is good. Try it I think you'll like it.

This was some very good pizza. I couldn't give it 4.5 stars or I would have. I have had pizza at the Blue Grotto, Marco Polo & Rosati's that I thought was just a little better. This is saying a lot though that it is close because I consider those 5 stars. It is way better than the standard pizza places like Domino's, etc. The crust is really good, the sauce is mild and not bitter in the slightest, just the right amount too. The pepperoni was spicy, but very good. The cheese is very tasty. The thing is, I wasn't even hungry, lol. I just got it to try and it was so good I ate half a pizza anyway! Give it a try, I don't think you will regret it. read more

The pizza was like eating a memory of my childhood. Friday nights as a kid when my Dad would make home made pizzas and we would have movie night. Kyle the manager made me feel right at home even though I got there 15 before they were closing. Extremely fast and friendly service. The pizza was a little expensive but for the amount of toppings, quality ingredients, and one of a kind experience made it all worth it. If you are every in the area you have to try this place. You won't regret it. read more
