We recently got to meet Danny, owner of KC Kitchen & Pizzeria, a new pizza kitchen that specializes in high-quality ingredients as well as being the place to go to catch all of KC’s sports. We watched him prepare the most delicious pizza we have had around town in a while. They’re located over on the corner of 39th and Southwest Traffic way, so make sure to read on to find out how you can get a special discount exclusive to residents of Mac Properties!

Where are you from? If not from KC, how did you end up here?

“I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I spent the last three years in Branson owning a retail store. I wanted to live in a bigger city and was ready to open a restaurant. I lived in Kansas City for about a year when my sister was going to K.U., and liked the city, so I made the move.”

How long have you been in the business?

“I was the manager of a pizzeria in Minnesota for almost a decade. This is the first restaurant I’ve been the owner of. The project started in February, and we’ve been open since May 1st.”

 

 

Why did you decide to go into the restaurant business?

“I’ve been around the restaurant and pizza business since I was a kid and then spent three years promoting healthy living while I was selling for Vitamix. I wanted to continue that by bringing a healthier option to pizza.”

 

 

Why did you choose this location near Westport?

“It’s an iconic location in a busy spot in KC, making it perfect for us.”

What are your goals for 2016 and beyond?

“We believe we have the best pizza in Kansas City, and our goal is for the rest of KC to taste it. We have no doubt you will agree! We’re also in the process of expanding our menu to offer even more healthy options including grass fed burgers and free-range chicken sandwiches.”

 

Who is your primary clientele?

“Anyone that likes to eat! People that care about what they eat. Anyone looking for late night food, we deliver until 4 AM.”

We brought this pizza, The Midtowner, back to the office. It was gone in seconds. So good.

 

What do you want people to know about you and your restaurant?

“One of the biggest things we did to renovate the space was to expand the bar, which made an awesome atmosphere to watch sporting events. We have The NFL Ticket & MLB Extra Innings, so you can watch all of your favorite teams. We have great happy hour & game specials.”
