1889 Pizza Napoletana is born from a couple's love of both Italy and Kansas City. Kelli and Jason Kolich both studied abroad in Italy when they were at the University of Kansas. Years passed, but their fondness of the country (and cuisine) did not. In 2013, Jason told Kelli he wanted to open his own restaurant concept, right where he grew up, in Kansas City. Nearly three years of research, planning, training, concepting and construction culminated in the opening of 1889 Pizza Napoletana on June 23, 2016. The duo is proud to bring authentic Neapolitan pizzas to Kansas City. What is Neapolitan style pizza? Five main components make up a Neapolitan pizza:
1) The crust is hand tossed, thin and comprised of only "00" flour, salt, water and yeast.
2) The sauce is crushed San Marzano tomatoes.
3) The cheese is fresh "fior di latte" mozzarella.
4) Each pizza gets a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavors.
5) The pizzas are cooked in wood-fired hearth ovens that reach temperatures in excess of 1,000. That means they cook fast, like 90 seconds fast.

People occasionally ask why we called our restaurant 1889 Pizza Napoletana.

The answer takes us all the way back to Naples, Italy.

According to the famous Neapolitan story, Queen Margherita of Savoy visited Naples in 1889 and was presented a pizza featuring the colors of the newly unified Italian flag: red tomato, white mozzarella and green basil.

That pizza became forever associated with her name: Pizza Margherita.

When we opened 1889 Pizza Napoletana in Kansas City, we wanted our name to mean something. It was never meant to sound old-fashioned or simply Italian. It was meant to point directly toward the history, simplicity and tradition behind the pizza we make.

We stretch every pizza by hand. We use simple ingredients. We bake with live fire at temperatures approaching 900°F. And roughly 60 seconds later, something that began in Naples lands on your table in Kansas City.

1889 isn’t just the name above our door. It’s our daily reminder that we’re carrying a much older story forward.

The pizza brings everyone to the table. What happens next is the good part. ❤️

Little hands reaching before the photo’s finished. Someone campaigning for the last slice. A dinner that turns into “we should do this more often.”

That’s the spirit of 1889: Neapolitan pizza, real wood fire, and a place to enjoy your people.

Bring the kids. Invite the grandparents. Catch up with that friend you keep meaning to see.

Bring your famiglia. We’ll take care of the pizza. 🍕

Join us tonight, courtesy of the Queen. 👑

Legend has it that in 1889, Queen Margherita fell for a pizza dressed in the colors of Italy: red tomato, white mozzarella and green basil.

That delicious bit of Neapolitan history inspired our name, and it still inspires what comes out of our oven today.

Tonight, take a little trip to Naples without leaving Kansas City.

Come hungry. Leave a little more Italian.
