Worst

Waldo Pizza is okay at best. The pie is fine, the sauce need lots of help, and cheese is weak. Neat place and fun.

Editorial review from Citysearch 6/20/2012

Pizza was great with plenty of options for toppings. The lines were short and the happy hour prices were fantastic for drinks. more

AWESOME 1/29/2010

This place not only has the best regular pizza in town but also has gluten free and vegan options! My whole family can eat there despite one with Celiac and another with lactose intolerance. Plus the GF menu also has fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes and breadsticks!! Pros: Gluten Free and Vegan menu also available! Cons: wait time sometimes! more

Great food, great atmosphere, best beer selection in South K 8/4/2009

This is one of my favorite haunts in Kansas City. Of particular note is their certified cicerone, Elliot, who can make fantastic beer selections and tell you as much as you can stand to hear about it. more

Good pizza! 12/2/2008

I would say this place comes in in the top 5 in Kansas City. It is in a fun funky part of town and the atmosphere reflects that a bit. The crust is just right crispy but not overcooked. Plenty of topping choices and fairly quick. more

Great Pizza! 9/20/2008

Somebody at Waldo Pizza is in Love with Saint Louis and I dig it. The Saint Louis style Pizza is great. We created our own with the provolone that it comes with, red sauce, basil, roma tomatoes, roasted chicken --- it was wonderful!! The atmosphere was fun and we were seated within 30 min on a Friday night! I think anyone in KC or passing through should stop in! more

Fun Toppings, Local Place 1/7/2008

We like the thin crust mushroom & tomato. For ""fun"" we have ordered the seafood with alfredo sauce and the gyro meat w/ feta. Those were good, but the regular pizza is what I like the best! Pros: Location, Local Dining, Thin Crust Cons: Parking can be hard more

good food but needs more seating 12/7/2007

While the pizza was good, I didn't see it being worth all the hype it usually gets. The night we were there the place was packed, partly because a large group from a kids' soccer team was there - VERY loud! It took us about 30 minutes to get seated and then the waitress was stressed and took a long time to come back with our drinks before she ever took our order. I'm willing to admit that I need to go back on another night to give it a fair shot, but if you're looking for good pizza in KC there are other places to go with food just as good and more seating room. Pros: good food, great beer selection Cons: can get very busy and it isn't that big a place more

Pizza Heaven 8/21/2006

Waldo Pizza is the very best pizza in the greater Kansas City area. The just right, hand tossed crust is perfectly complimented by the amazing sauce and the endless options of fresh toppings. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat and friendly, perfect for friends, couples and families without catering to any one customer base. Waldo Pizza is the perfect pizza. This is where pizza goes when it dies. more

Best Pizza in the U.S. 6/21/2006

I have lived many places in the U.S. (including New York) and have never found such an amazing pizza place! The St. Louis style crust is unbelievable, and the list of possible toppings seems to go on for ever (not to even mention the beer list!). Although I no longer live in the Kansas City area, I make it a point to eat here when I visit with friends (as recently as last month). I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good pizza and an unpretensious environment. Pros: Food, Atmosphere more

Gone downhill over the years... 4/14/2006

I used to go to Waldos every weekend but have stopped since their expansion. The pizza is as good as ever, but the ambiance has changed. There are too many large parties, especially post-sports game parties where parents think it is appropriate to bring 20 kids in to eat. Minsky's on Main does not cater to these kinds of parties and they now earn my business. It's a shame because Phil is a nice guy but he needs to take control of his business better. Parents - take your kids to Pizza Hut!! Pros: pizza is great, beer selection, salad bar is fresh Cons: too noisy, can wait long 4 table more

Oh Yeah! 9/20/2005

Finally, a GREAT pizza place our family can agree on! We used to argue over NY or chicago. Their hand tossed siuts the bill for all. Fresh, gooey, delicious! The ONLY pepperoni I will eat! Sandwiches are top notch too. Good optoins for kids-garlic cheese bread instead of sacrificing half your pizza to ""just cheese."" GREAT value! more

How a pizza place should be 7/11/2005

The selections for the pizza could be well over 1000 different combinations. The pizza is great when you make the right combinations. I've only had 1 bad pizza and it was just not a good mix of items for me, roasted garlic is was the problem. (i like garlic as a accent of flavor not as the main flavor). And if you like beer try the crimson and blue with a chicken,artichoke and basil pizza its a perfect match made in heaven. You can get anything from Don Perignon to pabst blue. All in all this is a great place to go. Pros: selection, quality, atmosphere Cons: making bad combos, none other more

waldo good 9/7/2004

There is no oter pizza in the city where you can get as many unusual toppings on a pizza. My favorite pie is Sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, pineapple, and cream cheese. Pros: Awesome, good wine prices, great beer selection more

Confused 3/6/2003

I simply can't understand the praise for this pizza. I have to agree with onewhoknows on this one. I've been too the lunch buffet a few times with co-workers, and have always disliked the pizza. I think more folks should spend a week in Chicago and visit the great pizza establishments there. If you still prefer Waldo Pizza after that, I'll buy you lunch there! more

Better than Chicago's Chicago style! 2/10/2003

After recently visiting Chicago and trying out their famous Chicago style pizza, I found that Kansas City had an even better Chicago Style Pizza here in Missouri. I had been to Waldo's once before I went to Chicago and three times since I have been back and nothing beats this place. They have soooo many toppings and cheeses to choose from and the atmosphere is nice~just like a oizza place was meant to be. Ever since I had Waldo's Pizza I can't eat it any where else no other pizza tastes good after you have Waldo's!!! Pros: good parking, get what you pay for, great service more
