Pizza Tascio - NKC

Have ordered this pizza before and it’s been great but received a rather “over cooked” pizza. Crust is dry and the char on the bottom is a hit or miss of good flavors and bitter burnt taste. Ordered it at 8 so maybe they had a pie warming and tossed it back in the oven to heat up I’d assume since they close at 9. Expect a lot more of a 30 dollar pizza.

I didn't know pizza could actually have such great flavor! Highly recommend trying this place, we kept it simple with cheese and pepperoni and still worth the cost to experience this pizza.

Amazing pizza. I ate it too fast. They really know what they're doing here - the white pizza is delightful, though the pepperoni may be what I order until I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Ordered whole pie. Thick, soft ny style, no where close to thin and crispy. Not worth $28. Jalapeños were like bell peppers. Overall ive had better ny style at pizza hut for 10.99.

The absolute best pizza in KC. I always ask for mine to be well done. Crispy crust 10/10

I grew up in Philadelphia and frequently went to NY & NJ to visit family. As I travelled the world for the Marine Corps, my first priority at every duty station was to find the best pizza. Most places not on the east coast, it’s a tough task to fill. Pizza Tascio was a random find, and ever since that first bite I’ve been telling people, for years now, it’s the best that KCMO or KCK have to offer. There is no better pizza. If you want crappy bar pizza, go somewhere else. If you want real, delicious, pizza how it’s meant to be enjoyed…this is the only place. I live in the Northlands, they don’t deliver there…I don’t care I’m driving for pick up. When you sign up for their emails and texts you obtain points and get some pretty awesome discounts. 20% and 25% discounts. I don’t use them because I believe this pizza is worth every penny, which is already at a good price. You can’t go wrong here. Tons of variety.

You won’t be disappointed!!! The pizzas are huge and so delicious. Even my 1 yr old and 4 yr old loved it. The staff is so wonderful and helpful!

We ordered two large cheese pizzas and a Nutella dessert pizza from Pizza Tascio, and it hit the spot for our whole family of seven. This is a solid New York-style pie—thin crust with large foldable slices. The texture was just right—not floppy, but not crispy either. It had a firm structure with a good chew, a soft interior, and a semi-crispy outer crust. The sauce had a nice tang without being overpowering, and the cheese had good flavor. It wasn’t overly greasy, and it wasn’t the stretchy kind—it pulled apart easily and worked well with the whole pie. Everything was baked evenly with no soggy spots or burnt edges—just a clean, consistent pizza from end to end. The Nutella pizza was simple: just Nutella on regular pizza crust. Thin, no frills. The kids loved it. I didn’t try it, but judging by how fast it disappeared, it did its job. Delivery was quick—about 45 minutes. The driver even texted me when he was on the way, which I appreciated. It came with their homemade ranch, which was a nice surprise and really good with the crust. All in, it cost about $78 before the tip. Not cheap, but it fed all of us and felt worth it. No hype, just good pizza. I’d definitely order again. If you’re in KC and craving real NYC-style pizza, Tascio’s is a reliable go-to

We ventured in here after seeing some reviews online. We were greeted pleasantly and they were so nice and answered all our questions. We decided to eat in. They heat the pizza in their oven and brought it out quickly. The pizza was really good. We tried the 3 meat, chicken bacon ranch, nonnas meatball and the hot honey. They were all tasty. My fave was the chicken bacon ranch. 2 slices came with a canned drink. They also have brews if that's your thing. Small place, but clean and it got pretty busy with carryout orders. We will be back as we have already discussed which ones we want to try next.

Good New York-styleish pizza to go. Well - there's a small counter with some stools, but otherwise you'll probably need to take your meal with you. Choose from standard recipes like red, white and pepperoni or go a little wild and grab a slice of spicy meat or buffalo chicken. A two slice with a can of soda special is reasonably priced - about $12 (October 2025.) A rewards program that sends special offers is available, if you're into it. Parking is an issue at this location. The lot doesn't have many spots and the auto repair shop next door seems to use some of them during the day. It's a bummer the neighborhood isn't walking friendly.

I tried this delicious pizza for the 1st time and it's pretty delicious. My son loves it and says it's his favorite. I enjoyed the cheese pizza and margarita pizza. This is worth a try.

The pizza here is one of the best in kansas-city. I've been here a couple of times. The red tascio is a good mix of sweet bd spicey I also enjoyed the SBO, sausage, bell peppers and onions . Both are delicious. The thin crust is made daily in the back kitchen. All the ingredients are fresh. The service is fast and curtious.

This might be the best pizza I've ever had. Think old world, Italian pizza dough ingredients with a New York style twist. The dough was soooooo good.

I love your pizza but what the heck. First I requested my Red TASCIO pizza without the Spicy Honey. I don't care for my pizza to be sweet. Then why is the pizza burnt. I should get a refund for this.

Was a solid pizza outside of my crust being pretty burnt on one side. Went here after the Dave Portnoy vid

This place hands down can take my money any day . I've had this pizza a few times during work functions. We choose this place often over other popular local pizza spots. My absolute favorite is the pepperoni pizza with the hot honey drizzled over it. Nothing beats it. I plan on having it again soon. If you haven't tried it, get to it . You won't be disappointed.

This way one of the highlights of my trip to KC. The staff was so friendly - didn't guy the guys name, but treated us to right just ordering! The spicy pepperoni was soooo good, I wish I could have it every night. The shop is small but has dining inside. I would give it 10/10 stars every time.

Visited here on the recommendation of Dave Portnoy. This Pizza Restaurant is the only one he has scored in the 8's in KC. Very cool old school building. Staff were helpful behind the counter. Not a lot of seating but excellent spot to stop in and get a slice for lunch. They offer whole pies or pizza by the slice. My wife and I shared 3 slices for lunch so we could try a variety. Pizza was reheated like NY style. Crust and toppings were delicious and crispy. Felt like the sauce could use a little more flavor - but overall it exceeded my expectations. I bet getting a fresh pie made to order would be the way to go because the crust is so good and bet it would be even better fresh. If I lived in KC this would be a spot I would frequent often. Glad to see Dave's review has made them extra busy.

I've driven by NKC all my life and I can't believe I never noticed this pizza shop! I've always wanted to try after reading so many Yelp reviews about this place. When Buck Tui BBQ was doing a collaboration with Pizza Tascio I had to try! It is a very mom and pop shop vibe. The workers are very friendly greeting you as you walk in. There's a selection of pizza to chose from by the slice and they will heat it up so you can enjoy there! You can also order a whole pizza but there will be waiting time. I would recommend ordering online if you plan to do so! We got the Pepperoni slice adding mikes hot honey and a Margherita while we were waiting for them to make the buck tui bbq x pizza tascio collab (buck tui tiger cry brisket pie). They have 7 locations throughout Missouri & Kansas so be sure to check them out! I can't wait to be back and try other pizzas they have.

I've been excited to try this place for a long time, and my first experience was pretty solid. It wasn't the mind-blowing experience that I was hoping for, but it was definitely good enough to try it again and get some other of their may options. I got the Spicy Pepperoni slice and the White Tascio slice. The Spicy Pepperoni was a little underwhelming, a little light on the pepperoni but with a good amount of jalapeno to give it a good kick. The White Tascio was my favorite of the two, and I was surprised that the broccoli on it worked as well as it did. The crust was great, the two-slice-and-drink deal was a great value and it was more than good enough to go back!

Pizza is good with lots of options. Combo deal gets you two large slices and a soda for around $10.

Been craving for pizza. Drove by this place many times. Decided to stop by in tonight since I am huge a fan of NYC style pizza. We came in during dinner time. They were a bit busy and only had a few slices available. We decided to order whole supreme pizza. The pizza did not disappoint. Sooo gooooddddd. Lots of toppings and fluffy crust. Looking forward to our next visit!

Amazing pizza. You can walk in and order by the slice or pie. You can also order pick up or delivery. We love the Sausage, Peppers and Onions. I really wanted to try the Detroit style but it was so popular they were out. We also tried the meatballs, which were pretty good but not sure we'd get them again. The pizza is the prize!

Just tried the new pizza with Buck Tui BBQ and it was the best pizza I have ever had. The pulled pork on Detroit style crust. Crunchy, sweet and bold flavors. But the Brisket Tiger Cry pizza was my absolute favorite. Combination of flavors from the heat of the Tiger sauce, fresh cilantro and red onion with the brisket topped with a creamy Tiger sauce...amazing! So good I have ordered it twice now. Kids of course wanted pepperoni pizza and they devoured every bite! Fast and friendly service. They have 7 locations offering delivery too!

YUM!! This New Yorker is pleased. Got a slice of the Red Tascio to go... So delicious. Authentically tastes like NYC pizza, fresh ingredients, chewy/crusty crust, friendly staff. What's not to love? Glad I found my new pizza fix when I'm missing home!

Quick service, they have ready made pies that you can get a slice or two. $10 combo for any two slices plus a drink or $13 for the beer combo. Always a great selection to choose from but if they are out of some pies, ask them if they have some that are ready but might be on the lower shelf and you can't see them. They will warm up your slices but the slices will come out hot! Not much place to sit and eat so either bring yourself a chair or just eat in your car. The ambiance is simple, nothing fancy and there is no public restroom there. If you take two slices to go, they will give you a small box.

this is a 10/10 out of me. love this pizza. Will definitely be back for more. if you have not been to pizza tascio make sure you make your way in and come get a slice or a whole pie.

More NY-style pizza!! I believe this is their newer location, just north of KC. I went in wanting to try their spicy pepperoni pizza slice, but since the only one left was their sample/example slice (aka not the actual full-size slice you would normally get), they gave it to me for free?! The staff was so nice about it. Similar to other pizza places, you choose what you want and then they'll put it in the pizza oven to heat it up. Pretty fast and this is more of a grab-and-go situation with some seating. It does get pretty hot inside as the oven is cooking the pizza. The pizza slice was SOLID and definitely taking my friends here to try it out. Thanks for the great service and free slice of pizza!! It was delicious :)

Ok, so this spot is no one near me, but we went out of our way to try it based on the buzz -- the verdict? Delicious! It was a surface-of-the-sun kinda day, and not to throw shade on NKC, but... there's no shade in NKC. So basically, we were baking like the pizzas were, and it was pretty toasty inside the pizza shop as we ate. Service was so-so; kinda direct & short. I'd highly recommend this for takeout as it's very small and designed that way. I tried: -A bit (of five) of my kiddos cheese pizza: very good with perfect crust. -Hot Honey Pepperoni -- one of my favorites, with tons of flavor. The slice size was smaller than I expected. - Regular pepperoni -- really good, but would opt for the Hot Honey one over it. -A bite of my wife's white pizza with broccoli and ricotta -- I would get this next time, very tasty. They really nail the NY style, with the exception of the size of the slices IMO. Prices seemed pretty fair for quality pizza, with two slices and a drink running $10. Overall it was really good, a 4-5 star spot for sure. I am not in the area often, so I'm unlikely to be a regular but certainly wouldn't mind if they expanded nearby.

Local pizza, woot! We needed a later-night supper and remembered driving past this lil spot earlier in the day so we stopped in for slices to take back to the hotel. You can order ahead of time or drop in like we did, make selection from what is ready on the racks and they head it up for you. The night we visited there were six choices, which was ample. Tip of the day: they update their Facebook page with current photos and discount codes, so it's worth a quick check to see if there's anything running.

I had the opportunity to stop in to try Pizza Tascio recently. For $10, I got 2 slices and a drink. I opted for the white tomato and 3 meat. I really wanted to try the papa tascio with broccoli but they weren't offering it when I went. So that just means I have to go back. ‍ The three meat was good. It was a little greasy but it's pepperoni and salami and fatty meat so that's to be expected. A little napkin dab solved that issue. The white tomato was also good. Nice and light. The crust for both was chewy and delicious. I will definitely go back but I'll probably try a couple of different options. I like the contrast of having a white and a red slice. I also didn't feel heavy and gross when I left because the slices themselves weren't at all heavy despite the size. I think this is an awesome little lunch/late night spot to grab a tasty slice.

Really good pizza. East Coast transplant and this is the closest to NYC that I found in Kansas City. The one in Brookside has many many more choices of types of pizzas. This location in NKC only has large pies and the small cauliflower crust ones.

22+ for bread, cheese and sauce these pizza places getting outta hand.(that's all I want to say but I can't leave a review with out a certain amount of characters)

Was going to eat pho tonight since it has been drizzling all day & started to flurry, but all the pho places were closed (or closed early) for Chinese New Year. Wanted to try this place out when I first drove by and wasn't even listed on Yelp! Glad we finally did because the pizza is now our favorite in KC. Placed an order online before we drive there. Do online if you order a whole pie because the shop is tiny. Decided to try their pan crust for an additional $4.50. This type reminds me of Detroit style. The tomato sauce is spooned on after the pizza is placed in the box. While waiting, we decided to get 2 slices of pizza to try their traditional style. Lol the guy asked if we wanted to eat it while waiting. We deferred and was told they don't have boxes for slices, but he was nice enough to place another paper plate on top. Both styles of pizza are delicious...more of a preferred preference thing. Knocked a star off for not having individual slice boxes especially because they only have 2 small counters to sit at. Will definitely eat here again!

A new pizza place in North Kansas City has opened and amazingly it is serving NYC style slices! When I found out that this place existed, the New Yorker in me just screamed for joy. They have a nice location not too far from downtown and they have quite the staff pumping out the pizzas. There were alot of to-go orders when I went so it was a happening spot. Got two slices to try, the cheese and spicy pepperoni with hot honey drizzled on top. The crust had a nice chew and crisp and the tomato sauce was banging which you can definitely taste in the cheese slice. They are a bit pricey for a slice but happy there are more slice shops in Kansas City. Happy eating and remember: don't deny, satisfy!

The true test of a New York slice is the cheese slice. They hands down delivered on it. The cheese slice is the basis for all other slices a place will make. Their slice was thin and crispy on the bottom and had a nice chew. The cheese was perfectly rationed and allowed the sauce to shine. The sauce was a simple tomato sauce that was perfect. Not too sweet and not to savory. You tasted flavorful tomatoes. After such a great slice, I had to have more. I went with their $9 Slice Combo. Two slices and a soda. I opted for an all meat and a pepperoni. Their pepperoni were nice and large and again perfect. Mild and flavorful. It didn't overpower the sauce and cheese, it married with it making a harmonious trio. The all meat was no different. Thinly sliced meats that didn't overpower, They just meshed well with each other and the sauce. Their crust is light and airy. It also tasted so good, I ate the whole crust. I never do that. They had several other pies that I am definitely wanting to try (mainly their Supreme and their white pie). North KC is becoming a mini foodie haven and Pizza Tascio is an awesome addition to our growing food culture in Northtown. Welcome to the neighborhood folks!

Awesome option for NY slice pizza, and they sell by the slice too. Got a very simple slice of cheese to try. Chewy on top, with a fantastic crispy bottom and crust. I had a bite of the pepperoni with jalapeño with hot honey, and that was also amazing!

A fave! Love the NY quick slice service. Hot honey pepperoni is a hit. I always take it to go, the atmosphere is so-so.

I have driven by this place so many times on my way to North KC, and I'm so glad I stopped. It's the perfect fast casual dinner! The service was amazing -- the employees were super efficient and helpful and talked with us while we ate our slices. You can order a whole pizza or by the slice, and the slices are pretty large. $10 for 2 slices and a drink -- great deal! I really enjoyed the white pizza and the meat lovers pizza. They said that the customer favorite is the pepperoni and jalapeño and hot honey slice, and I wish I had tried it to. The slices get warmed up for you, so service is super quick! There's a couple bar stools at the counters along the window and some tables outside, but not much room to eat inside. Mostly people were doing takeout. I think this is a great fast casual place if you're looking for a quick dinner or lunch!

Okay, so this is going to sound a lot like of the other reviews, however I needed to say it because it is so good. I can't say I have been to every pizza place in Kansas City (Missouri and Kansas), however compared to the ones I have checked out so far this is definitely the best New York style pizza I have found out here. The crust has a good crunch. The bottom of the pie is nicely cooked. Right amount of cheese. Tops were really good. It is nice to be able to go into a pizza place and they have some hot pies ready for you to select a slice from. Some may think the pizza is a little greasy, however as my wife (who is not from the East Coast) said you can tell if it is real NY style pizza if you can fold it to eat it and a little grease drips off the end of the slice. Let's just say I will describe the place as quaint, in a good way. Owner and workers there were all very nice and very helpful. Just be aware there is not much room to sit inside. Just a couple of counters, however don't need much room to eat a slice. Actually, we talked about coming back in the warm weather, ordering a pie in advance, bringing some lawn chairs and sitting out in the parking lot enjoying a pie.

Damn. I almost hate it when the internet is right, but for months now folks have been posting about how impressive this place is and I was fully ready to be let down. Let me say now that the pessimist in me was very disappointed, but in the best way possible. We had attended a kiddo's birthday party up north and were craving some some adult food on the way home, when my husband and I thought we should pop in here for some pizza to see what all the fuss is about. We aren't usually folks that eat pizza by the slice in the car while driving down the highway, but hunger had set in and we needed to try this 'za. It's a small shop, and they didn't have the pizza available that I really wanted to try but I was more than happy with the slices my husband picked up that were fresh and ready. We both are huge fans of the NY style and found these slices to be pretty damn near perfection. They were a bit crisp on the bottom and chock full of flavor on top. We DEVOURED them. Only negative as far as I can see is that they are so far north from where we live. They are quickly expanding though to OP and Lawrence so hopefully the OP location isn't too far south to deliver! All I can say is it's worth the hype. Pizza magic.

This place is a hidden gem in KC!! The pie is amazing and the costs are reasonable!! I highly recommend you to check it ou!!

Very solid pizza! There is not enough NY style in KC so I am glad to see pizza tascio making it's way around town and expanding. I tried the OP location and brought it home. The slices were large and the topping flavors were as expected. I think the basil should have not been cooked but rather placed fresh after baking bc it did have a slightly sour taste to it. The crust gave you that nice thin bite but with that crunchy exterior fluffy interior bite. The slice came balanced w tomato sauce and toppings. There was a hint of something in the sauce that was tasty. Had their cheesy bread too which was a great starter. I will say the price point seemed a bit high for what it is, especially knowing that in NY, the pizza is what you run towards for a good cheap experience.

Delicious! Just like New York style pizza! Yummy flavor, great quality sausage, sauce is delicious! When you join their text club they send coupons pretty often! Will def order from them again :)

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I'm not even the biggest fan of NY-style pizza. I usually think it's kind of meh, just okay. But Pizza Tascio makes a believer out of me, because you just can't argue with delicious food! I really enjoy the freshness of the pizza. The crust has the lightest crisp at the very edge, the sauce is light and acidic (but not too acidic), and the orchestra of flavors is lovely. I think it's brilliant that you can buy from the slice, but if you can splurge on a whole pie, it's worth getting one fresh out of the oven. If you sign up for their texts, you can get pretty good coupons (20% off, etc.). The parking is kind of trash, but it almost adds to the charm of this little place. Can't recommend them enough!

Exceptionally large pizzas! Unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about their pizza... you're better off getting a pepperoni pizza at Costco for a third of the price, roughly the same quality and taste.

Excellent New York style pizza. So far, the picky eaters in my family have held me to cheese, pepperoni, and 3 meat, but I look forward to branching out by the slice in secret very soon. The whole pies are a generous 18 inches, you know, what a large pizza is supposed to be and used to be back in the day. We also ordered the cheesy breadsticks on our last visit, which I highly recommend. Also, If you join the email list you'll know about the weekly specials and get coupons. This week's special is Italian sausage with ricotta and basil. Be still, my Sicilian heart. That's a must-try.

It was a solid choice for lunch - NKC is not busy on the weekends typically, so there was no wait. The 2 slices and drink for $10 is a great way to try a couple options. I had the broccoli, ricotta and sausage and the spicy pepperoni. The toppings are fresh and the crust is delicious. The service is definitely no frills - polite but there isn't a lot of time for interaction.

Visiting Pizza Tascio on a 5pm on a Friday evening, they were as busy as ever. I chose the 2-slice and drink combo ($10). The employees despite being rushed were very welcoming and helpful. We carried out because the dining bar is small and it was understandably very hot in there. The pizza slices are very large and the crust delicious. Compared to other local pizza joints in our area, Pizza Tascio offers a unique NY style pizza, with friendly faces and a decent price. I'll be back!

Pizza was fantastic!!! Not a lot of seating but had picnic tables outside for extra seating on nice days. I will definitely go back!!!

Terrible. We love NY pizza and were excited to try Pizza Tascio. We walked in and ordered a pizza to go. The interior looks like a crime scene. It's obvious no one cares. The bottom of the pizza was gross. See the picture of the dark crust. Not the good charred wood burning oven crust the "we haven't cleaned the oven in a long time" crust. There was nothing positive about our Pizza Tascio experience. We will not return.

It was simply okay. I've been to NYC and have had pizza out there and it doesn't compare. While it's an okay slice of pizza it could definitely be better. Price for 3 slices and a drink was too high. My crust was burnt also which made it difficult to eat. At a point it tasted like burnt cardboard. A lot of room to improve.

Got this pizza to-go pot a quick dinner. Loved the large slices and fresh greens. Most salads from pizza places are not this good. Reconfirm the white sauce!

Dropped by pizza Tascio for lunch on a Saturday. Heads up: there is VERY little seating, two small bars with about 6 stools. There was a steady stream of people in and out. We tried the spicy pepperoni, the three meat, the white tomato, and the white tascio. The white tascio was my favorite. I would definitely stop back by if in the area.

I have been stalking Pizza Tascio's Instagram for awhile now and we finally went for dinner. The location in North KC is small and we saw from photos that there is very little seating. No big deal, but for that reason we went to an earlier dinner. We probably got there around 6:15ish. I was totally amazed at how much pizza was already sold out and gone by the time. You know you are doing something right when your pizza is gone before 6:30 pm. With the pizza's that were left, I got one slice of the Sicilian slice and a slice of cheese. My boyfriend got two pieces of the spicy peperoni which has jalapenos on it. The Sicilian piece was good! The cheese was also good but there was a cheese on there that was interesting and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. My boyfriend loved his spicy pep pieces, absolutely loved them. The slices are a good size and I am definitely happy we checked it out. I wish I had maybe tried another piece but I still liked what I ordered. I recommend going early or ordering pizza to go if you want to make sure to get the toppings you want. But again, good to the business for selling out so fast, people clearly love the pizza.

I walked in about 10 minutes before closing on opening day and the place was still very busy with carry out orders and the staff looked exhausted. When asked how opening day went; owner Erik Borger gave me that slight smile, eye roll and head tilt indicating a successful and yet demanding debut of NYC style pizza in NKC. With it being nearly closing time and pizza slices still on display, I was given a very generous discount on 2 slices of pepperoni and 1 slice of pepperoni with veggies. After just a couple of minutes of them being pulled out of the pizza oven, I was on my way. I ate 2 in my vehicle and took the third home to my wife that she reheated in the oven in the middle of the night. We both agreed that the large slices were absolutely fantastic. Thin crisp - but still foldable crust, great sauce and topping made for a perfect slice. With it's premium ingredients, attention to tradition, proximity to downtown and multiple NKC breweries, I see a bright future. You debating on picking up a chain store pizza - Fahgetaboutit! Long live Uncle Tascio.

Food was greasy, and not what traditional NY pizza taste like. Never should you fold a slice and have grease run out, a lot of grease. Ordered 2 pies and we honestly threw a whole pie away after sitting in the refrigerator for a few days.
