Fun House Pizza

Wow! What great pizza! We have been going to fun house for years and have always enjoyed it. We had gotten out of habit and have not visited for a while. Big mistake. Cozy atmosphere but pizza was awesome crispy crust lots of toppings! Take out is good but the real treat is eating it right out of the ovens!

Ridiculous!
Once in a while you stumble into a hole in a wall and find gold!
This has got to be Lee’s Summit very own local secret pizza joint. After my 3^rd slice I was wondering if there’s crack on the pizza. The crust was crunchy, the cheese was soft, the toppings looked like the chef was on crack, because there was a mountain of it. I also had, what they called, «party sticks» that came with a cup of garlic butter. Instant death in a cup, but after giving it a dip I was instantly ready for heaven.
Forget them advertising from big franchise chains, it will just disappoint you after the first bite. This is my new place to exchange a few days of my life for a taste of pizza heaven on earth.

If you do not mind a horribly rude manager/​owner who belittles his staff in front of customers, has zero concept of customer service and is offensive to customers, this is the place to come. The pizza is expensive but tasty. I for one will will never enter these doors again. The manager/​owner, whatever he is, has run me off to his competitors.

Best pizza I’ve ever had! The staff are super friendly. This is a place I take all of my friends!

Let’s face it. If you’re going to Fun House Pizza, you’re probably going for the pizza. I love the pizza and my wife likes the tacos. My kids are too young to really enjoy the games plus the kids rides are rough. No safety belts on the rides and I couldn’t even find a high chair with a functioning safety belt. It’s clear that they just don’t care. Cleanliness and kids are afterthoughts even though they charge $ 10 for a small pizza and $ 3 for a Coke.
The service: Not good but I don’t think it’s intentional. The staff just doesn’t know any better which is more a sign of poor or nonexistent management.
The process: Go in, place an order, serve yourself. The pickup counter is to the left of the order counter so you end up queuing up to place your order and blocking the pickup counter. After, you find a seat and wait for your food. They have the joint wired for sound so they blast order pickup information throughout. If you order 6 things, they will probably call your order number 6 times to get each item as it’s made. There is a self-​service stack of plates, peppers/​cheese, forks, and styrofoam boxes on the counter. They don’t have knives or give utensil others than forks. The overhead speakers are very annoying and on my visit, they were (over-)used to a ask employees to return to the kitchen, etc.
The atmosphere: Tired. The owner is too cheap to change the outdoor sign so at first glance it looks like Pappi’s Pizza since Fun House took over the old Pappi’s Pizza building. The doors and floors are grimy and the vestibule at the entrance smells awful. The bathroom soap is hit or miss. The kids rides are filthy and either broken or missing safety mechanisms.
Misc: Their website is woefully out of date. Menu items and prices are incorrect and the online coupons are expired. Their receipts and business cards all list their former and now incorrect street address. Again, signs that the owner cuts corners and lacks attention to detail. Makes me wonder where else he cuts corners…
Three stars is generous considering it’s based on food ONLY. If not for the food, it would get one star from me. It’s sad because a small investment to clean and take care of the games and rides, train the staff, update their website/​info, and hose down the interior would be so easy!
Next time we will go to Chuck E Cheese where the food is crap but it’s cleaner and the kids will enjoy it more. If I need somewhere to go with the guys it will be a straight up pub or Minsky’s.

I really enjoyed checking out this pizza joint! It has such a great environment and very friendly staff.
My boyfriend and I ordered a half shrimp half sausage pizza. We got the large and got a free pitcher of soda! Woo! Then we also ordered massive Landshark pints. All for the price of $ 24! That’s it! All of this food and beer for $ 24. Makes my wallet happy.
While we waited for the pizza, we played the classic arcade games. I played Tapper and he played Galaga. It was a nice throwback of games. Plus there is plenty of seating so we moved around a lot to get closer to all of the awesome games.
The pizza was delicious. Great sauce to cheese ratio. I will be back for more pizza and to be a kid again.

At first I was nervous because of the bland exterior and the lack of cars in the parking lot but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s the kind of local pizza place that I grew up with as a kid. Lots of décor and plenty of video games, this place would be amazing to watch sporting events or to entertain a a family with kids. I am impressed and will return on a much more regular basis.

Went there with the family for lunch today around 11 am. The tv was on the history channel and turned up very loud even though no one was watching. I asked if they could turn it down, but they never did. Once we got our pizza, it came out with out a serving spatula. I asked if we could get one and was told they did not have any, just forks. The pizza was fine, but the service was poor and just not very friendly or customer focused. Very disappointing.

I have been eating Funhouse since I was a kid and despite all the changes and the move from the old location, the pizza tastes the same as ever. The crust is so thick and taking that first bite really brings me back. Apparently the move was a good one for them — the last time I was at the old location (about a year ago) my family was the only group in the whole restaurant, and last week when we ate here, the place was so busy and crowded we could barely find a spot to sit. I think there was some team party or get-​together because the place was overrun with kids, and the screaming and shoving was something I could have done without. Obviously that’s not the restaurant’s fault, but they were in desperate need of more help. The tables weren’t bussed, and combined with the team party, that made it even more difficult to find a spot. My family and I found the first table we could, and I was totally not cool with my five-​year-​old sister asking why there were so many beer bottles. It was a weekday and I feel like they were probably just not prepared for the number of people coming, but PLEASE do some more hiring! Otherwise the pizza speaks for itself.

Was great for our large group of 14 people. Plenty of room and the right environment for the adults and the kids. Pizza was excellent. Giant HELP WANTED sign on the outside of the building which explains the complaints of the reviewer before me. We were there on a Sunday about 5PM and the staff was adequate although some did appear to be new. Keep in mind that the owner is switching over to a store that is about 4 times bigger than the old one on Douglas. We felt that the pizza arrived in good time and the toppings were of excellent quality and quantity. This is the perfect location and look for a new Funhouse location. I look forward to many more fun visits. I hope some live music might be on the way. Good to see someone there who can actually fill Pappis old shoes. A Country Western band would be perfect :-)

I posted this on the Pappi’s Pizza page, because this was Pappi’s until recently. Here it is again.
Formerly Pappi’s, now a Funhouse. The pizza is fantastic, but they need to schedule more than TWO people on a Saturday, all day. Hopefully the new owner doesn’t run the place into the ground like the last guy did when it was Pappi’s.
The 2 guys working were doing a really great job, taking everyone’s orders, cooking the food, and also doing prep, but almost every table in the whole place had dirty dishes and trash on it, because there was no one to bus tables. Once they got the kitchen under control, one kid was able to come out & clear the tables, but I felt so bad for them both. When I asked, I was told it was just the 2 of them from open — 5:00pm.
In spite of being overworked & understaffed, they made the pizza perfect! The crust was fluffy, but crisp on the bottom. Cheese & toppings were done thoroughly but not browned. I love love love the pizza here! Dough is made fresh locally, sausage is proprietary in-​house recipe, made from scratch on site, as is sauce. Cheese is a blend, and very good quality. Pizza is greasy, but it’s pizza. So fresh, so good!
Buffet is gone (thank God, it was terrible!), lots of new games which take quarters, beer on tap, beautiful, huge dining rooms that can accommodate large groups. Much, much nicer space than any of the other Funhouse Pizza places.
Major concern: the new owner needs to get his head out of his ass and put some more people on the schedule to handle the flow of customers. People won’t come to a restaurant where there’s not a clean place to sit down. Also, I had to ASK where the tip jar was. It was under the counter, because the owner had said he «doesn’t like it» sitting where people can see it. WTF? Maybe someone should pay HIM $ 8/​hour for a while. Sheesh.
I WILL be coming back. And tipping!
