Looks like they went out of business. Showed up today at 5:15pm; no one there except a junked out old truck up on blocks and other sketchy debris all around. Doesn't exactly paint a picture of a food establishment where you would want to eat. Another one bites the dust!

Pizza was good but pricey $17 for a pizza the size of a medium. Lady at the counter had a problem with me paying with cash.

Been going to the Pizza Machine for years ... the Pizza Machine is truly a "hidden" treasure from the street that has been known really only by locals because it is a parked school bus with a few wooden picnic tables that is in the parking lot behind the old "Natural Food Store" on Black Mountain Ave in downtown Black Mo The owner converted an old school bus into an original "Food Bus" equipped with two (2) large pizza ovens, a side flat grill and a large prep area where he daily makes his hand made dough, tosses and layers his freshly cut veggies, meats and cheeses and pitches them into his oven. He also has stuffed pizzas and has movies being shown during the summer months on an outdoor screen. His pizza pies are just the right proportions of dough to ingredients that's very close to NY thin crust style and is moderately priced. He has a 40"*special which I have not seen but from what I understand is very popular amongst the college students. *Pizza sizes include 12", 14," 16", 18", 20" and their 40" special Pizza Machine contest size Service is great and in the summers, I would highly recommend that you call ahead as his closing hours will vary based on when he runs out of his daily handmade dough and he'll close earlier than his 5-9 posted hours Highly recommend and will continue to frequent the "Mystery Machine Pizza Bus" as my daughter calls it cuz it reminded her of the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine minibus/van when she was younger.

Fantastic local pizza. Tried the cast iron pizza and was not disappointed in the least! If you’re looking for a good pie, give the machine a try!

Pizza was nothing to write home about.The man that made our pizza was not particularly pleasant, and when we asked for plastic ware, he said "we believe the world is a better place with less plastic". Well I do too, and then he waited a while and said "do you want some silverware"? Why didn’t you say that in the first place? No need to be snarky to your customers about it. You can raise awareness about a cause without being aggressive by saying something like "reusable is better than disposable, here’s some silverware instead". You can also get biodegradable forks and knives.

I’ve had this pizza a few times. Inconsistent. Crust is always different. Sometimes it’s a nice chewy crust that has properly risen, other times the crust is a hard flat cracker almost too crisp to eat. This place needs some quality control. Meh.

Order delivery from DoorDash, when driver showed up they had not made my pizza yet- they told him 1 hr more they where too busy with dine in, then over hr later delivery was cold, over cooked and not tasting good!

The pizza was great, got sausage and mushroom and was happy with the overall quality and taste. It's a good crispy crust and the toppings were generous. I will be back, especially when friends come to town to visit

I love coming by here and picking up a pizza. Thin crust and the guys working are polite and engaging. Great experience for us and I come back ever time I am in the area.

A fun, one of a kind experience with delicious side effects.
I ordered a calzone and sat and waited for it. We ended up putting it on top of the oven and I had to go up and ask about it because they had forgotten about my order. I ordered a sausage and pepperoni calzone but when I received was a sausage and mushroom calzone. This would not have been an issue except that I am highly allergic to mushrooms and ended up in the emergency room. So I got a dinner I couldn’t eat in a large medical bill because they were not paying attention to the products they were putting on their pizza

Had the best deep dish pizza from Pizza Machine and breadsticks. Yu helped make recommendations and they didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique pizza experience.

Awesome dining experience with movie! Pizza was fantastic. Please don’t tell the tourists!

Really great place. Loved the pizza and the atmosphere they have there.

Cool, funky atmosphere with the kitchen inside a converted school bus. Unfortunately, the pizza is very disappointing and on the pricey side. Crust was almost inedible, flavorless and crumbles like dust. I hope they can make some changes to their dough, because this place could be really great.
