Grilled pizza should be the pizza we’re known for in Kansas City

You can get your deep dish at Rosati’s and your thin crust at Waldo Pizza. But when it comes to finding a pizza that is truly representative of Kansas City, that’s a question to which there doesn’t seem to be a single answer.

Since moving to the City of Fountains, I’ve heard impassioned defense and criticism of Grinders, Minsky’s, d’Bronx, Spin, Pizza 51, Blue Grotto and the Art of Pizza.  But none has reached an iconic level as the definitive pizza place in the city. So why don’t we go in a different direction and make grilled pizza what we’re known for here?
