Italian Gardens Pizza - Dicapo Foods

Excellent food! Located on the east side of the Tension envelope building. Big slice of pizza.

I was so pleased to find Italian Gardens has opened in their cookie bakery. I have so many fond memories of eating at the full service restaurant.

Even though it is not the full service restaurant I remember, the recipes are the same, and just as delicious. The pizza is amazing, I love the three meat slice. It is huge! Light, and crunchy crust with extremely high quality meat and the sauce! Yum.

Also, they have a variety of sandwiches, pasta and even a meatball grinder! I don't mean a meatball sandwich either, a true grinder with the Italian bread hollowed and then stuffed with the meatballs, and cheese. It comes with a side of unbelievably good marinara sauce.

Imagine my surprise when I found the man himself, Carl DiCapo sitting there greeting people as he always did at the restaurant! John DiCapo will take care of you and make sure what you decide to eat comes out perfect.

They do have limited hours closing at 2 p.m., I believe. I think it may only be open Monday through Friday as well. Directly to the East of Tension Envelope Building near the Crossroads. You can see the building down below while you are going South on 71 Highway from Downtown.

I will be making this a once a week lunch destination. I highly encourage you to go and dine, and say hi to Carl while you are there. The man is a Kansas City legend.

This is the same family behind the iconic Kansas City Italian Gardens. So good. Everything they do is amazing.

Chicken Spedini was tender with a light crust. The Italian almond cookies melt in your mouth. Great place for lunch or carry out.

The best, most delicious and homey Italian place in the whole world. No menu, just good personally made food of exquisite quality with personal approach
