Description

1889 Pizza Napoletana is a fast-casual Neapolitan pizzeria specializing in individual-sized, made-to-order pies cooked in a wood-burning oven.⁴ All pizzas and salads are built to order from premium ingredients, with the oven’s high heat enhancing the flavor of every pie.⁴ Beyond its menu of made-to-order and specialty pizzas, the restaurant offers hands-on pizza-making classes and dough-making workshops for customers.¹ It sits near the Westwood and Rosedale neighborhoods on the Kansas side of the metro.¹

Ownership and history

1889 Pizza Napoletana is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Jason and Kelli Kolich.¹ Before they met, both studied abroad in Italy, an experience that sparked their shared appreciation for Neapolitan pizza.³ In early 2014, Jason made the concept official and began developing 1889 Pizza Napoletana, training under Tony Gemignani — a world-renowned pizza maker and restaurateur based in San Francisco — and earning certification as a pizzaiolo through his apprenticeship.³ Kelli brings several years of experience in public relations, blogger relations, and corporate marketing of consumer brands and national restaurant chains.³ The restaurant opened in the heart of Kansas City, Kansas in late June 2016.²

Last verified: 2026-08-14 · Source: Official 1889pizza.com (menu-1 page + pizzas-row-1 detail page + shared-plates + salads sub-pages)⁵⁶ · Confidence: High (first-party item names, builds, and prices; pizza descriptions cross-checked against the operator’s own dedicated pizzas-row page). All pizza and salad small-size prices confirmed against the current menu-1 image board; large-salad add-ons and Charcuterie Board pulled from the same first-party board. No third-party aggregator used for prices.

All pizzas are individual-sized, made-to-order 12” Neapolitan pies (10” gluten-free crust available +$4.29), fired in a wood-burning oven; the operator credits its build discipline to founder Jason Kolich’s apprenticeship under Tony Gemignani.⁵⁶ Prices follow the house “$X.89” convention (a nod to the 1889 name).
