There are places you eat, and then there are places that become part of your story--and Leo's is…read moreexactly that for me. I've been coming here since I was a little kid, back when Leo himself was still behind it all. There was something special about walking in then, and somehow, that feeling hasn't changed. It's rare to find a place that holds onto its soul like this. And the pizza... I don't even know how to fully explain it, but if you know, you know. The cheese is unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. It has this unforgettable texture--perfectly gooey, rich, and somehow it sticks to the roof of your mouth in the best possible way. It's not just cheese, it's an experience. Every bite is layered with flavor that you can't quite put into words, but you crave long after you leave. This isn't trendy pizza. It's not trying to be anything other than what it's always been--authentic, nostalgic, and absolutely delicious. Leo's isn't just a restaurant to me. It's memories, it's tradition, and it's still one of the best slices you'll ever have. Forever a fan.

Leone's Original snuck under my radar!…read more This was right across the street from where I worked for a couple years, and somehow, I didn't realize it was here! I met a friend here for lunch on a beautiful autumn Tuesday. Arriving at 11:00, we easily beat the lunch crowd, which did arrive, right around noon. They've got a large menu with lots of different options for pizza, calzone, stromboli, pasta, salads and more! Many pizzas were pre-baked and ready to serve right on the ordering line, and my friend picked two of those slices! I, on the other hand, wanted to make a slightly-custom stromboli. After putting in the order and having a seat in the large, open dining room, my order was called within 10 minutes - SUPER fast for a calzone! As my man Project Farm would say: "Very impressive!" In an age where it seems like everything costs more and more, the value here is really strong! ...which is probably why it filled up pretty quick at lunchtime - we saw a few dozen folks come in, order a slice or two to go, and head out. A pretty affordable lunch when you need pie in a pinch! As we conversed, we scarfed our food. My buddy's pizza looked good, and I definitely enjoyed my stromboli! Fresh, hot, crispy crust, thick-cut ingredients...MMMM! The hipster vibe here is exactly zero - this is an unassuming pizzeria, with drop-ceiling, self-serve fountain drinks, 80's-style tables and seats, and curmudgeon-y fellas working the ordering line and ovens. The focus is on efficient, tasty, affordable Italian fare, and it shows! If you know, you know... Food = 5/5 Facility = 2/5 Service = 2/5 Ambiance = 2/5 Value = 5/5

People working there were friendly enough & it was well staffed.

I've been going to a location of Pizza Tascio basically since I moved to KC. The original location…read moreI went to was a bit of a trek for me in North KC because of living in South KC. I've been going to the Waldo location ever since they opened in the neighborhood a few years back. It's authentically NY Style Pizza, which I appreciate after living in NYC for several years. A classic cheese pie's got the signature floppy slice, fermented dough, a thin layer of mozz and acidic sauce situation going on. They're up there with the best slices at Providence and Northeast Pizza. Most of the time I get a whole pie, either cheese, what's on special or the Spicy Pepperoni. If I want a quick meal, I'll get the two slices and a drink special. The interior is low frills but has plenty of seating if you plan on eating there. There's also outdoor seating if the weather permits. If you get Individual slices, just know they'll be reheated in the oven like they do in NY. They also might not have everything available. Chance it and try something new. The staff is generally kind and respectful. If you have a pick up order, just let them know and they'll give it to you on the side window. Make sure to grab red pepper flakes if that's your thing. Join their rewards program, which is pretty decent too!

They are quick- when I got there the pizza was ready, but they accidentally made the white pizza side the white tascio and said they could remake it for me, but I had hungry kids at home so I just took it as is! They were super nice/apologetic about everything. It was a nice surprise though because I don't think I would have ever tried it, but it was so good and would definitely order it again! I also love that you can get pizzas by the slice! There's indoor seating and some outdoor seating! And their pizzas are seed oil free if that's your thing! I'm already looking forward to ordering another pie here!

It's been about a year since our last stop and was a good option after visiting the Harry S. Truman Museum & Library nearby. We ordered a small beef pizza and garlic knots. While the garlic knots were tasty, the portion (3 pieces) felt a little small for an appetizer. The pizza was good, not quite as put-together as we've had before, but still cheesy and satisfying. Pro tip: grab a side of their sauce for dipping, they go heavy on the cheese. Love that they offer both a soda fountain and bottled soda, and as always, the staff was friendly. We will be back!

It was a busy weeknight, we'd both worked late, the kids were finally in bed, it was around 8pm and…read morewe hadn't eaten. It was essentially prime time for a pizza order. I went onto DoorDash as I'm known to do in these moments, picked out a pizza from one of our favorite spots, and the total was going to be over $50 to have ONE pizza delivered. Now, I know, we could just go get it, and I know places have to mark up to work with these third party delivery services so I get it. I still love the other places I usually order from, but on this night I just could not stomach that fee. I spent about 20 minutes on the app/internet seeing if I could find a local spot that would deliver to me for a reasonable rate and I found Southside Mafia. I'd heard great things about this local joint so I was honestly excited to check them out, and even more excited that my grand total came to around $35 with tip, which is honestly shocking. Now, it's a bit further away - not TOO far, but they did add on an extra dollar for the distance (fair), and I knew the pizza might not be piping hot (also fair). When it arrived it was still warm, and I'd describe it as a pub style pizza. It's the kind of pizza you'd find in a bar and devour amongst friends and a few beers. To me this means it's cheesy, loaded with toppings, and has a kind of mid crust. IMO it's not the BEST pizza in KC, but I liked it a lot, and loved that it was something a bit different, and extra loved that it was a reasonable rate to have delivered while still supporting a local business in KC. I think the overall pizza is four stars, but the whole experience for me was five stars and I'm sure we will order again sometime.
