Dewey's Pizza - Overland Park

First off...the service. Our party was greeted with courtesy and a smile right when we walked in. We were seated quickly and everything we needed was given. I know this sounds like a hotel review but honestly there are some hotel lobbies that could take a cue from Dewey's. Our waiter was attentive and kind, offering help with the menu and bringing drinks when we needed them, always with a smile. Everyone else was getting the same solid service and that was great to see. The whole staff was very helpful with my 14-month-old son, offering and bringing a high-chair, offering and bringing him his own little cheese pizza (which he loved) and downplaying the fact that this little maniac was quite a handful the whole meal, at times just outright screaming. As a new dad it makes me feel so much more comfortable at a restaurant when the staff is helpful and understanding of my young family and of course we'll be back. My mom is in KC, we're in Topeka, so when we come visit Grandma it's probably gonna be time for Dewey's. Now, the pizza... Oh man! This is the pizza experience you want. Every bite, and I mean every bite, was thought out. Perfect thin crust, perfect mix of and distribution of toppings, perfectly baked...I mean, this pie is good! We had a Bleu Ribbon (which should become a menu staple, not just a limited time) and the Porky Fig. The ingredients are subtle and delicious, perfect adult pizza. The salads were so fresh and complimented the pie perfectly, and the ladies loved their wine and beer. This place has fantastic pizza. Honestly I don't really know why I'm taking three paragraphs to write a review for a pizza place an hour away from where I live that I've only been to once. I suppose it has to do with the fact that I was genuinely surprised with the experience and very pleased. Dewey's is a restaurant that is getting the service and quality of restaurant dining post-lockdown down, and they're doing it well. This restaurant should be a model to others for how to reopen and reopen in style. Thanks Dewey's.

Pros: 1) Excellent pizza crust 2) Good topping variety 3) Pizza is not super oily 4) Friendly staff 5) Clean location 6) Wife says “Pre-sliced olives taste worse than whole pitted. However, the sliced olives here taste and look like they slice them themselves” Cons: 1) Besides the crust, pizzas aren’t addictingly flavorful maybe because of them not being so oily) 2) Porky Fig pizza was not our cup of tea sweet flavor from the fig jam just wasn’t working) 3) Slightly cold due to AC and were fairly resistant to cold) 4) The whole roasted garlic had some pretty egregious cases of stems left on see pic)

At Nine Troubles, we were initially worried about missing dinner service or feeling rushed, but instead we had the best dining experience by far. Our server not only helped us choose our beer, salads, and entrees (and made some great recommendations), but we also met amazing staff and had excellent conversations. The food was phenomenal, the service was incredible, and this place is now definitely my new favorite restaurant.

The salad was not your typical house salad, but it was very delicious! My wife tried the gluten-free crust and loved it, and we also enjoyed the delicious Hawaiian pizza.

I recently tried a new boutique pizza spot that has quickly become my favorite. The fresh crust is a game changer, and they offer an amazing variety of toppings to choose from. The service is also top-notch. This place is a hidden gem!
