Tim's Pizza

It did NOT disappoint. They have a variety of breads, protein choices and accruements to embellish their sandwiches. SUPER tasty and GREAT plating makes their food mighty tempting. Vance, the young man who took our orders, was knowledgeable about selections and patient with we "newbies". The layout appears to be a "fast food joint". Nothing could be further from the truth. Genuine silverware with REAL "LIVE" PLATES, ROOMY, comfortable booths or table and chairs makes for a relaxing environment. Allowing for lingering and conversation with good friends. We will DEFINITELY be returning soon!

First day of a new job Lunch!…read more New to this side of town and stopped in here for a little comfort of something I recognized. The Atmosphere - Well it was clean and tidy. Again there is little personality to most locations these days yet the functionality and the ability to clean quickly is at a premium. But, there is little about the restaurant that is comfortable or memorable. So this gets the standard 3 stars. The Staff - I had the good fortune to interact with several of the staff members this time. And ALL of them were extremely nice, kind, and friendly. They went out of their way to check on me several times and remind me that I could get a refill on my drink. They gall at the checkout even offered to bring me the desert that I had on rewards that was set to expire soon. Some of the best Customer Service I have seen in a while. - 5 stars. The Food - Well this is the number one reason to swing in. They have a number of great creations and options to pick more than one. They do let you customize a sandwich should you want. I think this is as good as it gets (unless you head to a "real" deli where YOU decide what is on the sandwich. This visit I had the Pick 2 (which is common) where I had a fantastic Club sandwich and a Chef salad. Pretty healthy over all. (I used extra dressing and ate brookie bites so scratch the healthiness). 4 stars Overall - This was a fantastic visit to an old favorite. The food could have just a little more wow... and by now you all know how I feel about the clean/institutional look and feel of eateries. A perfect lunch space. I'll be back often as they are good, healthyish, and close.

I went with the pulled pork sandwich, and the meat was ridiculously juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. But the real standout? The toppings bar. SO many pickles, sauces, and toppings to mix and match so you can build your perfect BBQ bite (which I fully took advantage of ). They also have drinks, cookies, and other extras if you want to make it a full lunch stop between shopping. I love when a place feels a little unexpected, and BBQ inside a giant antique mall with 400+ vendors definitely fits that. It's easy to see why they've won awards--great food, fun concept, and absolutely worth the stop if you're around Kansas City or Independence.

We ordered the box lunches and our sandwich orders were made in very short time. The staff were very friendly and thanked us for our business. While I have no issues with the staff, the prices on Jimmy John's sandwiches are a bit high and the cookies we received were stale. Unfortunately we took our food to go so we didn't realize this until we returned home. I recommend Jimmy John's but the prices are a bit high. As for the cookies I'm sure this is a rare event, because I have had the cookies in the past with no issues.

I recently tried Tim's Pizza and I must say, their Ballpark Pizza is on another level! The addition of sauerkraut really elevates the flavor profile, giving it a unique and delicious twist. The crust is also noteworthy--it's not as thick as traditional pizza crust, but it's not too thin either, striking the perfect balance. While waiting for our pizza, we had a great time enjoying a few cold beers and playing arcade games. It was a fun and relaxing way to pass the time and added to the overall enjoyment of the experience. They also have a big party room, which would be perfect for gatherings or celebrations. One thing to note is that Tim's Pizza only accepts cash or check. While this might seem inconvenient to some, I see it as a sign of their dedication to their craft. If a restaurant can thrive without relying on card payments, it shows that they are truly on top of their game. Overall, Tim's Pizza is a must-try for pizza lovers! read more

Absolutely loved the pizza here -- you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The crust was perfectly crisp, the ingredients fresh, and the flavors just felt like a true slice of Italy. My only wish is that they stayed open a bit later because I'd definitely be back for a late-night bite. Highly recommend! read more

The boneless wings were good as well, the garlic parmesan was my favorite, the bbq one had a good flavor too but we liked the garlic parmesan one. I am happy they threw in marinara sauce, I enjoy extra sauce for my pizza. We ordered online and everything was great so I don't have any thing to say about the service or how the restaurant looked. I would say if you are staying in Liberty and need a pizza place that's not Pizza Hut or any other chain (not that there's anything wrong chain restaurants, we just like to eat at places we don't have back home) I would give them a call.
