Wood-fired Turkish & Georgian eats, award-winning pizza, cozy vibe
"Kansas City has an exciting new batch of Middle Eastern restaurants, so when you’re craving hummus and flatbreads for dinner, or need a brisket detox with vegetables that are just as flavorful, Clay And Fire is the place to go. Everything in this cozy restaurant is wood-fired, like their grandma pizza and the trabzon pide with cured beef. This is a perfect spot for vegans and vegetarians, as they do great mezze like charred eggplant dip, roasted olives, and guajillo hummus. After dinner, take a stroll to look for your future dream house in the West Side neighborhood." - ryan bernsten
"“Eclectic” might be the best descriptor for a restaurant that’s part Istanbul, part KC, part Long Island, and embedded in a quirky old home in a historically Latino neighborhood of Kansas City. The menu is a collaboration between Turkish restaurateur Orcan Yigit and KC local Adam Jones. Expect enough meze to make the table groan, basturma pide, and a bubbly, chewy grandma pizza. Vibe check: Clay & Fire operates inside a century-old house; be prepared for tight corners and a couple flights of stairs." - Liz Cook

"“Eclectic” might be the best descriptor for a restaurant that’s part Istanbul, part Long Island, and embedded in a quirky duplex in a historically Latino neighborhood of Kansas City. The menu is a collaboration between Turkish restaurateur Orcan Yigit and longtime KC pizza chef Brent Gunnels. Expect enough mezze to make the table groan, tender kebabs, and a bubbly, chewy grandma pizza." - Liz Cook
