With pizza by the slice right in the heart of Westport, this is the place to go when you start craving the grease in pizza. One of their classics is adding a little sugar to your pizza, honey, which is bound to sweeten things up a bit.
2. Power and Light District: Pizza Bar

Studying
1. Pizza 51
Located right across from the dorms on the Volker campus, Pizza 51 is a prime location to pick up pizza quick in between classes or when you want something besides the awful cafeteria food. Once you go once, it is hard to not go again due to its convenience and tastiness.
2. Sarpino's Pizza
Busy cramming for exams? Sarpino's pizza offers delivery until 4 am 365 days a year, and the best part is that it is free. Their calzones are also a must-try.
Family in Town

Date Night
1. Ill Lazzarone
With one location in the River Market, this offers a unique stop after a possible trip on the Kansas City Streetcar and a walk in front of the Riverfront Park. The restaurant offers a comfortable atmosphere, and one of the favorites includes the classic Margherita with the wood-fire flavor.
2. Coal Vines
Located on the Plaza, this brings New York Style pizza to Kansas City. Additionally, with its other options, such as salmon and pasta, it offers other options just in case your date is a non-pizza lover. However, if you ask me, if you don't like pizza, I don't think you can be trusted.
