About
"There are other pizzas you can get around here that are good, but it's like having ​a child. Yours is always going to be the best." - John, Pizzaiolo in Residenza
Our Mission
At Avelluto's we seek to provide a customer experience that is fun, casual and reasonable. La vera cucina italiana is about creating quality and comfort whilst inviting every guest to the table. The philosophy is that good things take time and love, and each person deserves a 'piece of the pie'!

la nostra famiglia
For more than four decades, now spanning three generations, the Avelluto family has provided the greater KC area with Italian and Italian American food. Our family still has close and intimate ties with Italy and the philosophy of Italian food culture while still appealing to even the pickiest of palates. John, Patti, and their two sons Dominic and Gianni work together to bring you both nostalgia and new memories. We love our Mission, KS community and would never have imagined being anywhere else than where it all Began More than 40 years ago.
