Sub par service, but the pizza keeps me coming back.

I've been going to the Minsky's in the northland for over 10 years. The pizza is amazing and i cannot remember when i have ever been there and had a problem with the food. I don't eat in the restaurant very often, as i like to avoid the crowds and prefer being able to eat and watch the games from my own home, so about 90% of my orders are pick up. About 50% of the time, i leave a small tip when i pick up my pizza. (2-3 bucks on $15) I worked in restaurants forever all throughout college and i consider myself very generous in restaurants, as every person who worked in the food industry probably is. My main complaint is that on multiple occaisons while signing my credit card receipt or paying cash i get a "feel free to leave a tip" or "wow, thanks for the tip" with some extra thick sarcasm. Generally i just brush it off, as most of the servers there are high school aged kids, but theres just something really annoying about that. As i said, im more than generous when im tipping for a service (when im dining in, having something delivered) but the fact im hasseled for tips when I AM going to pick up my pizza is irritating. What am i supposd to tip you for? Ringing me up? That extra parmesan cheese you tossed in for me? Like i said, sometimes i leave a tip even though i clearly think its unnecessary, and then when i don't i get a rude "wow thanks." The service inside is average, i just don't like going to pick up my pizza and be pan handled like im walking around downtown. The pizza keeps me going to Minsky's, but i can definately say i would be going there more if the staff were better.

• Pros: Best Pizza in KC, hands down
• Cons: generally bad customer service
