What People Are Saying
from Google"We came by after the KU basketball game. Got to hang out with the college kids for a bit and got pizza and beers. Not many options to sit but it’s a college town bar so no need! Tons of people, great service and great food."
"Was really surprised Ive never tried this place once I actually had a slice. Dough was superb, toppings fresh, and staff was amazing. I think people sleep on Wheel pizza cause the upstairs half gets most (all) of the attention. But NO MORE PEOPLE! I will shout from the rooftops!"
"The day time cool can really lay down .she's sweet and friendly and can really cook some good food. Claudia has to stay. We love her"
"Great college bar! Students and alumni are both regulars ! The inside is rustic with wagon wheels and flags for decor. There’s a few booths where you can sit. They also serve lunch and the veggie burger is great! Prices are fair. Make sure to bring a pen or sharpie to sign your name on the wall! Be careful when exiting the backstairs, they’re metal and sometimes get slick! (Photos are here on a Wednesday, so not the full crowd)"
"My parents got together there. I just drove by for old times sake while in town. 💘💘💘"
