Pizza in Kansas City - Recommendations?
I'm visiting KC in a week or so. A couple comments and topics about pizza got me wondering what you recommend in that city. Technically, I'll be in the Plaza area for a conference, but I welcome any recommendations as I sometimes get farther afield.
I am familiar with Minsky's (which I recommend and enjoy from time to time when I'm in KC), but I would like some other options.
Years ago I had an excellent pizza in Overland Park that was made perhaps with provolone, but that location no longer exists as far as I can tell. Haven't seen that kind of pizza since.

Thanks both of you. Musicfan, that reminds me: I forgot about CoalVines, which I have visited but forgot its name (it doesn't evoke pizza). And it is, frankly, near where I will be staying.
There is also a place in the crossroads that was on Diners Driveins etc.
And to correct my OP, I think the cheese is "provel" and it is a St. Louis style pizza. Apparently there is a Leo's pizza up north that serves it. (I think that was also the name of the location in OP years ago?).

Minsksy's is hands down my favorite KC pizza. Some folks I work with LOVE Waldo Pizza, south of the Plaza.
The St. Louis pizza place that is best known for provel cheese pizza (and square pizza) is Imo's -- not sure they were ever in Overland Park though. I have personally never liked Imo's -- but I have never had one of their pizza's where the crust was actually crispy as advertised.

CoalVines on the Plaza is delicious. Also just south of the Plaza on Main Street is Spin Pizza which has great thin crust pizza and fabulous salads with in and outdoor seating.
Question - why pizza in the town that invented Barbeque? For great Q check out Jack Stack right on the Plaza.
