1889 Pizza Napoletana

Where Pizza is an Artform

What makes it fun

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore." According to legend, pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, in 1889 for Queen Margherita of Savoy. True Neapolitan pizza is distinguished by its distinct flavor, simple ingredients, and baking in a wood-fired oven. 1889 Pizza uses wood-fired ovens, San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce, and "00" Caputo flour for the dough to return pizza to its roots. Our pizzas are baked at over 1,000 degrees in copper-clad ovens, which results in a deliciously soft and chewy crust with a little char on the outside. 1889 Pizza strives to bring a high-end concept to Kansas City as quickly as possible, without sacrificing authenticity or flavor.

We've lived over here for like 6 years and somehow never tried this place. Wandered in on a whim during an unexpected warm snap in the dead of winter.... and just fell in love with it! a yummy pizza and salad fed a hungry couple, and I didn't catch the name of the hostess with the mostest, but the lady working the register and waiting tables was killing it on a busy Friday night. Will be back.

We ate here for our friend’s birthday and Elizabeth was the BEST. She took our experience to the next level and pulled out all the stops to make our birthday girl feel special. We love 1889 and Elizabeth!

This restaurant had the potential to be 5 stars, but I am giving a 2 because of the poor service that my friend and I received.Overall, the restaurant week menu was a great deal. My friend and I tried the pasta trio entree. I asked a worker if they were doing the plate refills of your favorite choice of pasta and he confirmed that they were. Since we were full, we asked if we could get our pasta refills to go.The woman who went to refill our pastas took an insanely long time and we eventually went to the front to check on it. We were given a sad tub filled about a quarter of the way. We were extremely disappointed to be skimped out (my friend didn't even get a serving). If they didn't want to give us additional food, then why bother offering it on the restaurant week menu? It literally states, "(refill your plate with the pasta you enjoyed most!)".Aside from that, my friend and I noticed that the woman who was serving had checked in with everyone around us EXCEPT for us. She went above and beyond with our surrounding tables, checking in with them, asking how the food was, if they needed anything, etc. and we received nothing. Nobody checked in on us. Anytime we needed something, we had to go out of our way to grab someone at the front of the restaurant.Additionally, I noticed that a pair of customers that arrived after my friend and I, sat down next to us and ordered the restaurant week special as well. After setting down their salad, their server said, "I'll get you guys your silverware and plates!" My friend and I had to go grab it ourselves. I understand if grabbing your own plates and silverware is the norm here, but it was the fact that we were treated differently.You pay for your food and tip before you sit down and eat and my friend and I honestly regretted tipping the standard amount after experiencing all of this. Just beware! You might want to hold off on tipping and bring some cash in case you receive no/poor service like we did.

This is a beautiful location with a very good food! Although my pizza was made incorrectly the first time (everybody has their day) the owner handled everything perfectly and made my pizza again himself and it was absolutely exquisite!

A great local Neapolitan pizza spot. We've been here 6-7 times and most recently spent our Valentines day here for a special event they hosted. They are normally closed on Mondays, but since it was Valentines they had a special event for couples. Each couple received an appetizer, a glass of champagne, a bottle of wine (red, white, or rose), a salad, two pizzas, and a dessert! The best part was that we were able to make the pizza ourselves. The dough was pre-made (it does need to proof after all), but then they showed us how to shape it and then we topped it before they fired it in the oven. A great and different way to spend Valentines day. The staff was kind as always!
