What's up with this Arris Pizza in Lenexa? It's from the weirdo parts of Missouri so I'm skeptical, but on the other hand the reviews are good. It's Greek Pizza which I've never had, but I do like gyros.

Tried it 2 weeks ago. This place was so bad. The cheesiness was good but the crust was just awful

Mrs mocat loves all pizza, but she told me arris was disgusting, like nothing she'd ever encountered before

this is all I need to know to never try it because Mrs. Mocat is a cool cat.



when i worked in Lenexa (Thermo Fisher), I wouuld Holy Land Cafe-it for lunch.  :lick:
$1 beers during Royals games at Arris Pizza  :eek:


meatsauce you have some lenexplaining ( :Keke: ) to do regarding Arris pizza

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenexa,_Kansas

Quote
n 1857, twelve years before the town of Lenexa was platted, James Butler Hickok staked a claim on 160 acres (0.65 km2) at what is now the corner of 83rd and Clare Road.[7]At about the same time, a census of the Shawnee Indians living in the area was being taken. One of the residents was listed as "Na-Nex-Se Blackhoof," the widow of Chief Blackhoof, who was the second signer of the 1854 treaty that ceded 1,600,000 acres (6,500 km2) of the Kansas Shawnee Indian reservation to the U.S. government. A few miles east in Westport, Missouri, was the start of the Old Santa Fe Trail. It meandered through the southeast part of Lenexa on its way to Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Later, Hickok became a scout for the Free-State Army, a sharpshooter and eventually, Wild Bill Hickok. In 1865, shortly before Na-Nex-Se died, the Kansas and Neosho Valley Railroad was organized to take advantage of favorable new land laws. It later changed its name to Missouri River, Ft. Scott and Gulf Railroad, and in 1869 purchased a right-of-way from C.A. Bradshaw with the stipulation that the railroad build a depot on the property. Bradshaw then sold 10.5 acres (42,000 m2) to Octave Chanute, a railroad civil engineer, who platted a town in 1869. Legend states that the town was first proposed to be named 'Bradshaw', but he modestly refused and the name "Lenexa," a derivation of the name Na-Nex-Se, was adopted.

I am willing to bet that 435 accounts for more than 50% of the square footage of Lenexa and is the most interesting portion as well.

The Lenexa Barbecue Competition is legitimately amazing -- nobody is allowed to disparage that.
