    What makes it fun

    Il Lazzarone is a pizzeria run by a family. The lazzaroni were the people who lived on the streets of Naples. They were, in fact, the ones who invented pizza. It is stated that a lazzaroni is finished working for the day when he has worked long enough to afford a Neapolitan pizza and a bottle of wine. The il Lazzaroni epitomized the authentic Italian sense of leisure and community, which is what we strive for here. We take pride in utilizing high-quality ingredients and adhere to the classic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza rule of using only four simple ingredients in the dough and cooking the pizza in under 90 seconds.

    The short angry white guy just put his hands on me and kicked me out for asking to use the washroom

    I really wanted to love this place because the pizza itself was actually delicious. Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great due to a food safety issue.

    While heading to the restroom, I noticed one of the staff members cutting pizzas in the area just outside the kitchen. She had her hair completely down and wasn’t wearing a hair net or hair tie. I didn’t think much of it at first, but when I sat down to eat, I found a hair in my second slice of pizza. Definitely not mine.

    It was disappointing because the food tasted really good, but seeing the lack of proper food-handling practices and then finding a hair in my pizza made me lose trust in the cleanliness. I hope management takes this seriously, because with better food safety and hygiene, this place could be amazing.

    The food and service were excellent. They nailed the Margherita D.O.C. -- possibly the best I've had. We asked the server for a small sample of buffalo mozzarella to sample all by itself. She brought that and some regular for us to compare. This was a huge eye-opener for us getting to taste side-by-side. Buffalo was absolutely delicious -- creamy and full-flavored. It makes a big difference, so order the D.O.C. Margherita for a couple dollars more.

    Highly recommended!

    This is a restaurant that I would take every single one of my out of friends too in order to show off Kansas City. The pizza is amazing. The drinks are amazing. The service is always five star. I have yet to have a subpar experience at this restaurant.

    I've been here before and loved the food but last night got a one-star review because of the service. My friend and I were ordering pizza and discussed in front of the waitress if we should get two separate ones or split one. She advised us on the size and we decided to split one.

    When the pizza arrived, it wasn't à half a d half; it was all one style of pizza with my friend's topping out on. When we called the server over to complain, she said, "We really don't split pizzas but I'll go ahead and fix that for you." 1. Why wouldn't she have said that when we placed our order? 2. If it wasn't a mistake but deliberate because they can't split pizzas, how was she going to fix that for us?

    I had a friend recommend this place and I’m so glad we got to try it. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food came out fast but that was probably because they weren’t very busy. It was so good we barely talked in the 15 minutes it took us to devour these two pizzas. Will definitely be going back soon

    Downtown to enjoy the sidewalk chalk art festival in the River market area and ran across this jewel on the way back to the car. Initially, we were a little disappointed to be “banished” to the back bar area as there appeared to be plenty of seating in the front. Well, it was our lucky day as it was way more fun back there with wonderful service, great music and atmosphere. We ordered a couple of pizzas and drinks and everything was excellent. We would make the trip down here just for this restaurant and plan to return.

    THE MOST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PIZZA I FOUND. I get it, New York pizza it’s a thing in this country but I miss my Italian pizza from Europe. I was so happy when I found this place so we came to taste it. It was so perfect! We ordered the vegetables ones and the ricotta cheese one. Both extremely delicious! This is my new favorite place for pizza here!! I’ll keep adding photos 😍

    My only tiny “but” would be how they add the spices like fresh basil before baking and they burn it a bit. Leaves are supposed to add after baking the pizza.
