Old Shawnee Pizza And Italian Kitchen

Would give it 6 stars if I could. Food was great but the service was spectacular. Our server Ben was reading our minds throughout the entire dinner. Best service I’ve received in the past few years. This guy needs acknowledged.

Pizza not too bad. Kind of like a lesser version of Pizza Shoppe, a local area chain. Garlic Bread just okay, but marinara sauce was good. Lotsa ingredients on pizza, just not great flavor, if you get my expression. Neither meat nor vegetable toppings put much oomph is this old timer.

The food is alright. Pizza is a bit overpriced. We got the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was just mediocre. If you buy a beer in a bottle you will get 3.2 beer so be aware. No body wants 3.2 beer, come on! Quit buying your beer from Price Chopper and get it from a real vendor.

Really good pizza. Salad is good too. Cheap, quick lunch, quaint little place to visit.

Stopped at Old Shawnee Pizza after a baseball tournament in town. Very nice place, food was excellent, staff was super friendly! The seafood raviolis were amazing! Individual pizzas were great and salads were fantastic. Would definitely come back!

Very very very good pizza. Staff were all super nice. It was our first visit and he told us we’d be mad that we hadn’t been in before… He was right!

Pleasantly surprised at how good the pizza was. Both sons and I enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere very much. Would highly recommend to others.

I’ve become a regular at their Lenexa location. I go 2 – 3 times a month during the day. Here’s my typical experience, Ben sees me pull up in my truck and has my drink waiting at the bar before I open the door, then he gets my salad and places my pizza order and it arrives 8 minutes later. The salad and pizza is consistently good and the service is friendly. This store will suffer if Ben leaves. Give this guya raise.

If you like a cracker crust and not a good pizza dough crust then this is the place for you. Their salad is simple, lettuce, imitation bacon bits, some cheese, and a couple pepperoni slices then it’s your kind of salad. Although their dressing is really good. Their price is rather pricey.

Love this place! Our go-​to for pizza nights for our family! I also appreciate the great customer service!

Great service and good food! We got the Tuscan chicken pizza, breadsticks and salad. All were just as good as we hoped. Good prices and a fun environment for the family.

I have been eating Joe «the owners» pizza since the 70’s when it was pizza shoppe in old shawnee. The pizza is still great and it’s nice they have added such a variety of choices to the menu. The old shawnee pizza in Lenexa is good, however, I think it’s inconsistent at times. Shawnee pizza crust needs to be golden brown and really cooked well with dark melted cheese and it’s not always. The salads attention to detail is lacking a little as far as big hunks of lettuce not chopped well etc. and finally the price I believe is a little steep. I realize it’s good quality pizza but there are pizza places everywhere charging a lot less for good pizza. I think you bring your prices down in west Lenexa you will see an increase in sales. Especially if you advertise !

This is my 2^nd 5-​star review of a small, local pizza joint in just a few days, and not too long after my husband and I bemoaned to each other the lack of good pizza in Kansas City. Well, good pizza does exist in the metro, and you can get one at Old Shawnee Pizza.
My sister-​in-​law made a huge carryout order and they got it done right and in a timely manner. We started with an order of meatballs, which were succulent with hints of fennel. The red sauce that accompanied the meatballs nicely.
But the pizza was the star. The first thing that I noticed was that the toppings were plentiful; no scant 3 slices of pepperoni or sausage or whatever. No, they cover the pizzas with cheese and toppings. The crust had a little bit of crispness, but wasn’t cracker-​thin, either.
They have gluten-​free pizza and attempted to cater to our request for no cows’ milk on the gluten-​free pizzas (they sprinkled a tiny bit of goat cheese on them).
It’s too bad that we don’t live closer to Old Shawnee Pizza. If we did, this would be our go-​to Friday night pizza place. As it is, though, we’ll definitely make an effort to swing by when we’re in the area for a good pizza pie.

OUR FAVORITE PIZZA IN KANSAS CITY! The owner and staff are friendly and wonderful atmosphere. Especially when they have live music. See for yourself!

Great, great, great. Awesome service, great food, icy cold beers, great music, nice atmosphere and good menu.
We stopped off here as my daughter loves Mac and Cheese on her pizza and this place has the Mac Daddy Pizza. I am so glad we found this place. After a day of running around with two pre teen girls this was the break we needed. From the minute we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Our server was great. He checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed but did not pester us like some servers can do.
By the time we finished our meal I made the comment to my wife that if we lived near there it would probably be a regular place to visit. Sadly we are just in town on vacation.

We went in for a quick work lunch and came out Old Shawnee fans.
The décor is rustic. The restaurant is neat and clean. The pizza was excellent. We commented that the crust reminded us of Pizza Shoppe, but we liked the sauce at OSP much, much better.
Our server was a little awkward, but the ladies at the check-​out were cheery professionals.
Will I go back? Absolutely.

Monday is definitely the day to go. We had $ 3 32oz beers to start. Server brought us breadsticks (if you sign up for text offers at the counter the breadsticks are free) and if you order a large pizza for the Monday night special price of $ 9.99 (they will discount a specialty pizza as well) you get two free kids meals. That combined with the Unilocal Check-​in offer of 20% a large pizza made this an affordable night.
We had a Tuscan Chicken pizza. The chicken was sysco pre cooked, pre sliced. Not cooked on site, but not bad for me. I liked it. However one of my mates did not care for the chicken at all. The second pizza was the Luau pizza with bacon, pineapple and almonds. Bacon makes everything better.
Prices for a specialty 12 cut pizza were up there…$ 23. Little hefty for me. Glad to be there on a discount night.
My only gripe was that the salad came out with the pizza instead of prior to the pizza. Would have been nice. Did not care for the green house dressing but that did not kill the salad.
Overall the crust was thin and a little flaky for my taste, but good nonetheless. Next time we are in town we’ll be back. On a monday!

Very impressed with this place. Food was great. Service was great. Love the atmosphere. Price was perfect. Loved the music that was playing.

Great Pizza option added to Northern Olathe/​Southern Lenexa. Though my taste in pizza is now gravitating toward the Spin! & Pizzabella rather than Minsky’s or Old Shawnee Pizza (my first ever visit to OSP) I have to say I will be back.
The makeover of the space is very very nice. They maximize a smaller space by lining the outer walls with booths and a few tables. Still feels roomy while being almost cozy with the use of wood throughout.
OK so you go in and feel comfortable, what about the food!?! There are several lunch specials. I went with the personal pizza with drink and side option. Knowing I needed something other than carbs I passed on the breadsticks/​garlic toast and went with the house salad. Yes it is iceberg lettuce. Still it is a larger size and has carrots, cheeses a couple pepperoni slices and. .. no dressing. Wait, the dressing comes on the side. Wait — it is in a squirt bottle! AWESOME! I was able to control the output of dressing and felt like a TOP CHEF using a squirt bottle to make fancy patterns with dressing. OK, I didn’t feel like a TOP CHEF but it was fun and I was surprised I was able to use less dressing but distribute it much better.
What about that dressing? House GREEN dressing? It is tasty. Don’t know why it is a weird shade of green but it is garlic something and pretty darn good. I will go back on St. Patty’s day just for green dressing.
Pizza: Good crispy crust. I went all meat as I like my veggies on pizza when at the above mentioned pizza establishments. Plenty of toppings, good flavor. I was worried I would be needing a gallon of water to offset the salt intake (like some other pizza establishments which I won’t name here). I was pleasantly surprised, no salt thirst ever hit me.
Sum it up — I will be back for a solid meal.

It opens to the public next week! The new OSP takes over for a Victor’s Chicago Pizza in the same spot (Victor’s info is here
)
Delicious buffet and the same offerings as their other location. The ownership is very involved with Twitter so any issue at either location is quickly answered.
I was able to attend the friends and family event this last week and the food was delicious, soda and beer cold and people friendly. Add it to your Lenexa Pizza options immediately!
