Laura Gerado and Ramon Robles have been working hard for several months to prepare for the opening of their new pizzeria, Laura’s Pizza Buffet located at 1727 W Jesse James Rd, in the Y Shopping Center. Their doors will open to the public on Monday, July 25 at 11 AM, and they say they’ll be ready. The couple spent weeks deep-cleaning, painting, and prepping the space to make it bright and welcoming for their customers. Laura has more than 16 years of experience working for the pizza chain Ci-Ci’s. She has been working on perfecting her recipes for what they expect to be a hungry crowd. She and Ramon had explored opening a franchise of their own before they decided to try something new. They said they chose to establish themselves in Excelsior Springs because they recognized the need for a good pizza restaurant and with their experience, they feel it will be a success. “If there’s one thing I know, it’s pizza,” smiled Laura confidently. Ramon proudly gave us a tour of the restaurant, showing off the pizza ovens, warming buffet tables, and salad bar.
Laura’s Pizza Buffet will be open from 11 AM to 8:30 PM Monday-Saturday, with all you can eat pizza, salad, and pasta buffet. They will also offer take-out orders.

Looks lovely, and is that a white pizza I see? Haven’t had one of those in 20 years or more, and STILL want some!
Agreed… I haven’t seen one of those since I lived in NY
