Very Important Pizza

A New York-style pizza shop at 25th and Farnam with a retro 80s and 90s pizza-parlor look, a deck oven behind the counter and a small game room. It sells whole pies, slices, calzones and garlic knots, and has a patio.

Very Important Pizza is a New York-style slice shop at 2502 Farnam Street, listed on its site as established in 2026. It sells whole pies, by-the-slice pizza, calzones, subs, salads and sweets, with online ordering and catering requests handled through the website. It sits on Farnam Street near the edge of the Blackstone neighborhood, and the site notes that online ordering and catering are available for groups.

House pies are named after people. The Luigi is described as the most ordered, the Marla as a fan favorite, and the Diana as the supreme. Homer is a veggie pie, and Geezer is a vegan pie made without cheese. Whole pies come in 14 and 18 inch sizes, and a build-your-own option starts with a cheese base. Calzones, meatballs and garlic knots are on the menu too.

The shop keeps late hours, open until 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11 pm Friday and Saturday, with a happy hour starting at 9 pm each night. That makes it a handy stop after a game or concert downtown and midtown. Its mix of by-the-slice and whole pies suits both a quick bite and a group order.
