I was more comparing the Sarpinos in Westport with what I had out south at Sarpinos (OP or Leawood). The quality was better out South. I just assume it's harder to staff a place in the middle of the city that's open 'til 4a or whatever. They definitely fill a need - just not for me.

It's definitely an issue specific to that location, as the Sarpino's on Vivion is good (for a chain). I have a bad experience with the Westport location probably 3/4 of the time, enough that I stopped ordering from them altogether.

Caddyshack is:

1. not St Louis style

2. disgusting

I won't debate the first point, because "thin crust w/provel" is as much credit as I'm willing to give STL for anything. And I won't debate the second point because I know you're wrong.

Caddy Shack is my favorite pizza in kc! Everyone from out of state loves it when they visit too!

Also great staff.

Waldo pizza is also great

I love Caddy Shack.i'll be excited to try the new pizza place coming to Westport. Joes & Papa Kenos are pretty damn good in their own right.

My 2 cents on *counter* pizza (excluding 'artisan' places)... Pizza 51 can't be beat in quality of ingredients, flavor and crust - can taste each ingredient separately. Bottom of barrel of those discussed has to be Sarpinos, there are cheap frozen pizzas with less chemical flavor. Papa Keno's after Pizza 51, fairly similar. BTW, Milwaukee Deli downtown is owned by Pizza 51 and has same pizza. Most overrated local award goes to Minsky's - I suspect they get their ingredients from Sysco. Like Imo's with pepperoncinis for a cracker snack but not Provel. Of chain pizzas... Costco. Even Aldi $5 unfrozen whole is more edible than most chains.

For counter places I would say Johnny Jo's is tops in my book.

Posted: **Thu Jun 20, 2019 12:35 pm**

Yeah agree it's one of tops, forgot about them (because not on a bus line, when I tend to hit counter eats).

Huge Caddyshack fan.

Johnny Jo's is tops for pizza.

While I love Caddyshack overall, pizza sauce is a bit sweet.

Caddyshack!!! Damn I haven’t been there in a while

Off topic from delicious pizza but about Westport. It appears Westport Flea Market or another business around there has applied for TIF. Anyone know what thats all about?

It's the 816 Hotel.

Westport Rd is really becoming quite a Metcalf ave of midtown.

Coming soon: an empty Macaroni Grille

I hate to say it, but it’d almost be better if Westport wasn’t connected to SW Trafficway at all. The buildings and businesses get more suburban-y the more you go in that direction. It makes it feel like more of a pass through than where to be. Not really sure how to fix it. I know the business owners love that it’s cut off from a pedistrian standpoint because they can monopolize traffic, but street connection to east Westport sure would thin out crowds and bring a lighter feel. Feels like a waste.
