Third Coast Pizza

I’ve seen Third Coast on my way to work every day and finally decided to stop in for lunch. We got the Windy City pie and it was delicious! The staff were extremely nice and I will definitely be coming back. *Edit* Get the carrot cake, you won’t regret it!

We stopped in yesterday for lunch and had a great meal. After seeing all the reviews about the delicious Chicago deep dish pizza, we had to give it a shot. And it did not disappoint.

The only potential negative for us is the drink options. We don't love drinking out of plastic bottles and there was no ice available for soft drinks. So we took advantage of the wait and ran to Casey's across the street to get a cup of ice. That leveled up the bottled Pepsi for sure!

This is a nice spot with really good food. I will likely return to try the lunch special at some point as well.

I found this place while driving around hungry and noticed a picture of pizza Chicago style. I'm from Chicago, and know a pizza place is more authentic if they use their own recipes. I tried an Italian Beef sandwich, normally I wouldn't get giardiniera on it but it's his own giardiniera which is far better than any I've tried in Chicago! I tried a thin crust single, and I brought home a deep dish-take n finish bake for dinner. It was delicious and even better the next day like truly great pizza is. Definitely recommend this place and look forward to trying the Chicago hotdog soon!

Trying to find some Chicago flavors in KC.

We love Lou Malnati’s pizza so when we read that this was like Lou’s we got excited.
This is not Lou’s.
We ordered the Windy City deep dish style. Good thick tomato sauce that is really concentrated. Board line too much cheese and good quality toppings which is what you want with Chicago style pizza. However, crust is cracker like a Pizza Shoppe crust which is different then other Chicago style pizza places. There was also something gritty in the cheese, like too much of that powder that makes cheese not stick together.
We got mozzarella sticks too, nothing special but fired perfectly.

The staff is kind and attentive. They shows they really cared about the customers and restaurant.

So delicious! If you are looking for a true Chicago style deep dish pizza this is the place to get it. I had visited Pequod’s in Chicago and have wanted something similar since and KC was drawing blanks. Glad to finally find it! The 10 inch pizza will feed 2-3 people easily. The crust is perfect and the layered pie is hearty and filling. The individuals I interacted with there are super friendly and helpful and they have plenty of seating in their dining area.
