Pizza and sandwiches are great. The bread they use for the sandwiches is fantastic. Only other place I've had that bread is in California and I've been trying to find it back in Kansas City.

Pizza is great. Sandwich not so much. It was basically a salad on bread...

I wanted to love Johnny Jo's pizza. It gets great reviews, has an awesome story, and word of mouth brings a lot of hype. That said, I didn't love the pizza. One slice of cheese and one slice of pepperoni and sausage to test it out. Two bites of the cheese and I stopped. The crust was okay but the flavor of the cheese and sauce was just not there. It didn't really taste like anything. Four bites of the pepperoni and sausage which was slightly better and that was it. Nice people, good location, and an eclectic space but unfortunately I won't be returning for the pizza. That said, don't take my word for it. Maybe it was an off day. Try it for yourself. Everyone else seems to like it.

We were in Lee's Summit and decided to try this place for dinner. We walked in and were not greeted. We figured out you ordered via a computer. We ordered and realized we did not order drinks. We checked the computer and saw only bottled water. We walked around and realized there was a bar around the corner. I tried to order a Dr. Pepper, but they only had coke and sprite in a can. We decided we'd be OK. We played a game while we waited.The food arrived, and it was good. I wasn't disappointed nor impressed. I doubt I'll return. I live in Independence, and it's not worth the drive. The place seemed more like a bar than a pizza place. I don't drink. If that's your kind of place, then maybe you would enjoy it. There was a pool table and other games.It was a nice place but confusing and not much to choose from non alcoholic. No iced tea or lemonade, I'd assume possibly, but I only asked for Dr. Pepper.Pizza was decent, but nothing special.

“Where’s the meat?” was what we both said after opening the box of our Lasagne pizza.I had also ordered extra black olives and onions. Considering additional toppings were $2.75 each you’d expect more than a tablespoon of olives and eight onion slices (yes we easily counted them). The flavor was good, ambiance of the bar 10 times better but….we won’t be ordering pizza from here again.

This is straight up like some New York City pizza. Dough was chewy like a bagel. Large and thin, had to use my chili olive oil for the finishing touches, but was so good, I ate too much pizza lol. Chocolate Cannoli was outstanding.

We were passionate fans of the West Plaza location when we lived in the city. This was our 3rd time with the new location and the inexperience with the new crew making pizzas has shown every time.This time the pizza was uneven with it being thin towards the crust and thick in the center, and the center cuts were all off leaving small slices and really big slices.Please get these crews some proper training or quality control so it can be that wonderful Johnny Jo’s standard because LS needs to know the real deal.

I was so excited to hear that Johnny Jo's opened up in Lee Summit, I lived down the street when he opened up in the West Plaza, and it became a tradition to take a pizza to Shakespeare in the Park on the plaza every summer. There are so many different styles of pizza out there for a reason, and this one should be on your rotation.
