Grinders Pizza — Restaurant in Kansas City

Our family came in tonight to celebrate my brother in-laws birthday. We all arrived at scattered times (which most parties do) so my sister informs us that our waiter greated them by saying, "we cant split checks, it has to be all on 1" and didnt seem interested in helping accommodate with 3 more seats for us. We sat but we could of used a bigger space. .

We put in 2 slices of pizza (since you sell by slice) and appetizers while we wait for our parents and brother, the 2 slices of pizza were for my brother who is autistic. He was ready to eat and we wanted it ready for him. My brother has snacks on snacks, everywhere he goes. My mom had his 2 samdwhich sized ziplock bags on the table; 1 with oreos and 1 with cheez-its. Our waiter whom still needed to get us drinks, or clear out trash from our way says to my mom, "you cant have your snacks out. You'll have to put those away." I am not understanding the logic here. A toddler, child, or disabled child cant have an additional snack with them for when you guys dont make your food right ? Like ours tonight. My sister's inlaws ordered philly CHEESE steaks and when they got them, 3 sandwiches did not get made with cheese. The server man (never was told his name) hands them slices cheese for their philly cheese steaks...... sliced cheese. Basically, since this place cant be a little more kind and compassionate towards peoples needs such as a sandwich bag of oreos for the autistic man sitting in their restaurant (yes the server said he is instructed to tell guest this!!).... I will say i do NOT 10/10 recommend Grinders.

Our server did not even smile,...

On a trip to Kansas City , I picked this spot to grab a bite, and man, was it worth it. I love grimy little hip places like this. Unfortunately, the only thing being served was pizza. While not a bad thing, we had our eyes on other things on the menu. The slices were surprisingly affordable. 4.99 plus .59 per topping. Other places charge like 7 to 8 bucks a slice.

Service here was great. We grabbed a seat, and they had our menus out in a matter of seconds. The bar was kinda busy, and they still kept up with the tables. We decided on 2 pepperoni slices and a slice of pepperoni and banana peppers. This is one of the only slice spots I've been to where they will make you any slice you want. So that's awesome. They made our slices and threw them in the big old school oven.

After about 10 minutes, the slices were sitting on our table, ready to be eaten. The slices were big enough to take up the whole paper plate. They were topped perfectly, perfect amount of sauce, and the crust was super crispy. The only thing I would have changed would be to make the body crust a little bit crispier. Maybe like 4 more minutes in the oven. Other than that, this pizza was slapping.

The music here was great. Old mix of rock, punk, and pop rock (Weezer and such) It took me back to being 20 years old again.

Long story short, stop in here and grab a slice and a drink....

Loved this new favourite spot I found when I did a Google search. I drove down to Grinders from my hotel and read a sign in their dining area that said to enter through their East dining area or back patio. I went around through the back and came in to a relaxing atmosphere and it gave me a bar vibe with remarkable food options. I was able to seat myself and ordered the New Yorker pizza all Pepperoni with Jalepeno on half. I got it brought to me and was very pleased with the taste and cheesyness of this pizza. I ended up eating it New York style by folding it and never wanted it to end. My waitress was very nice and friendly and the music they played was awesome. The decor in there was unique in its own sense and I could really see how much fun people could have at such a musically inspired eatery. I'll definitely be going back in the summer and possibly attend one if their concerts they have in the back. I only gave a 4 star in service because I felt like I was kind of a burden to the guy I asked for a refill of my Diet Dr Pepper. He was still kind though when he got it for me. I should of got my waitresses name so I could give her a shout out cause she was good at what she did.Very relaxed chillin atmosphere that's family friendly, awesome for a date or to go...
