It's a shame we don't talk about pizza very often here on Chiefsplanet Football Message Board. It's not too late to change that, though.
I want to hear where everyone had their best slice of pizza pie. What are your favorite toppings? Does pineapple belong on pizza? Do you enjoy Dave Portnoy's pizza reviews? What your favorite of the fast food pizza franchises? DO YOU PREFER CHICAGO OR NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA? I need answers, people.
The Happy Joe's Special is my favorite restaurant pizza - Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut from an old Iowa chain. My overall favorite is on our wood fired oven that gets to 900 plus degrees and my wife's homemade zero flour crust can't be beat. [Reply]

Pinthouse pizza has become a mandatory visit for me every summer when I'm home to Texas. The beer is fine. It's not gonna blow you away, but it's above average, for sure. The pizza, though. Man. I grab the same two pies every time I go.
Banh Mi Pizza:
Crème fraîche, house cheese blend, local sausage, jalapeños, pickled onions and carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, Sriracha.
The Armadillo:
Extra virgin olive oil, house cheese blend, local artisan sausage, poblano peppers, ricotta cheese, and cilantro.
Another beer place with good pizza is Fate in Phoenix... they have an Awesome Sausage that's pretty simple and very good, as well as one with bacon, sausage, and pepperoni.

Then he opened in NKC at NE corner of Armour and Swift same problem. Bill Kelso sponsored lots of Little League Baseball including our team. Always free pizza after the game. We would go to Kings games as we got older get Pizza and shoot the shit with Bill and he would serve us pitchers of beer. It was good pizza.
The Pizza by the slice place in Antioch center was awesome to but can't remember the name.
Went to Kelso's in NKC several times... it was one of those places that didn't often come to mind when wanting to go out to eat, but very good though. [Reply]
I didn't read through the whole thread but Pizza Shoppe pizza which originated in the Northland is the best. I don't know if the style is Chicago or what.
I had Danny (owner) make a pizza, not cooked, put in a cooler with dry ice and took it out to the Grand Canyon when I visited a friend. We took pics and they are on his wall in Platte Woods.
He gave me a few of his "seasoned" pans. He stated "It is the crust and the pans that make a difference". He also gave me a pizza recipe which I have used. They turned out quite good, but not as good as his. I don't have the equipment. [Reply]
They were founded by an Italian immigrant family in the early
‘60s and eventually evolved into a pizza chain. Absolutely delicious pizza. Some of the best I ever had. [Reply]

The top pizza looks fantastic. The bottom one looks too much like a fancy Domino's. [Reply]

No one cares about your Canadian pizza you cuck [Reply]
Any of the other Northlanders remember Pizza Factory? It was good pie and tasted a lot like Pizza Shop. I always wondered if it was owned by a relative or former worker. They also had a garlic salad dressing like Pizza Shoppe but was white not pink.
The location I knew was in the shopping center at Parvin and N Brighton Rds. When I worked at worlds of fun we ordered it a lot. [Reply]

I learned something new today. I thought for sure the original location was in Olathe off of K7 and Santa Fe. I went there as a child in the early 80s, and then again, just a few years ago. It still looks the same after 40 years!
Good pizza then, and now. Gimme a Butcher Block and a side salad with pink stuff for the win. [Reply]
