Lee’s Summit is Kansas City’s fast-growing suburb with a lively, community-minded pizza scene—fueled by Midwestern comfort, local pride, and a dash of creative flair.
These are the city’s five finest:
1. Summit Grill & Bar
More than just a grill, Summit serves artisan wood-fired pizzas alongside craft cocktails and upscale eats.
The crust is thin but chewy, with unique pies like the “Summit BBQ Chicken” and “Italian Farmhouse” (prosciutto, arugula, balsamic drizzle).
A spacious patio and modern, friendly setting make Summit ideal for groups and evenings out.
2. Minsky’s Pizza
A beloved KC-area chain, Minsky’s is renowned for its classic hand-tossed, deep-dish, and thin-crust pies, all topped to the edge.
Their “Prime Cut” (five meats) and “Papa Minsky’s” are carnivore dreams, while gluten-free and cauliflower crusts keep everyone happy.
Delivery is fast, quality is high, and the menu is huge.
3. Third Street Social
Best known for steaks and upscale comfort food, Third Street’s stone-fired pizzas are a hidden gem—featuring hand-tossed dough and adventurous toppings like smoked bacon, gorgonzola, and balsamic onions.
Great for brunch or lunch with a crowd, and the cocktails are a bonus.
4. Waldo Pizza
This locally loved spot in eastern Lee’s Summit offers thin, thick, and even gluten-free crusts, with a vast menu of house-made sauces and toppings.
The “Super Veggie” and “Eric’s Euphoria” (sausage, pepperoni, onions, and more) are musts, and the fun, colorful dining room welcomes everyone. Delivery and carryout are also top-notch.
5. SPIN! Pizza
SPIN! celebrates artisan pies—try the “Margherita,” “Italian Sausage & Apple,” or “Pollo & Goat Cheese”—all on hand-thrown dough, baked to crispy perfection, and paired with creative salads and gelato.
Modern, bright, and super family-friendly.
