Pizza 51 is apparently looking at another former gas station as it considers opening a second pizza shop. Krista Klaus of the Kansas City Business Journal reports that Pizza 51 owner Jason Pryor is in negotiations to buy the former Sinclair Oil station at 60th and Mission in Fairway.
"The character of the building stands out," Pryor told the KCBJ. "Anybody can eat a pizza in a strip mall, but having that experience in a gas station is different.
Pizza 51 opened at 5060 Oak in 2004 and was named the Pitch's best pizza two years later. The restaurant has a Route 66 theme with state license plates.
The slices in the former filling station are enormous, served on plates rather than trays. In addition to some unusual toppings, such as cream cheese and green olives, Pizza 51 also features the "Cowtown Lovers," a monstrous slice with pepperoni, sausage and Canadian bacon.
Fairway could use a pizza restaurant. There's a Minsky's (6921 Tomahawk Road) about a mile away in Prairie Village and a Godfather's Pizza a little farther west at 7002 Johnson Drive in Mission.
