The World Cup is Coming to Kansas City: Here is Where to Find the City’s Best Pizza


It’s official: the eyes of the entire world will be on Kansas City for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With six major matches hosted at Kansas City Stadium—including a massive Quarterfinal match on July 11—our city is ready to show the world what "Soccer Capital of America" really means.

But while the world is coming for the goals, they’ll be staying for the food. If you want the authentic taste of Kansas City while you’re here for the matches, there is only one stop you need to make: Wilson’s Pizza and Grill.

Why Wilson’s is a World Cup Essential

Located at 1801 Quindaro Blvd, Wilson’s isn’t just a pizza shop; it’s a KCK landmark. We’ve been serving this community since 1993, and we’ve earned our spot on the national stage as one of the 101 Best Pizzas in America (The Daily Meal).

When fans from Argentina, the Netherlands, and around the globe descend on KC, they’re going to be looking for that "Hole in the Wall" gem that the locals swear by. That’s us. Whether you’re grabbing a giant slice of our 18th Street Special before heading to the Fan Fest at Union Station or fueling up after a match, you’re getting a literal slice of KC history.

Not Making the Trip? Get a Taste Shipped to You!

We know not everyone can make it to the stadium to hear the roar of the crowd in person. But that shouldn't mean you have to miss out on the best pizza in the city.

If you aren't local or aren't traveling to KC for the tournament, you can still join the celebration with our Wilson’s Take and Bakes.

We are now shipping nationwide, meaning you can order our gourmet, hand-crafted pizzas directly from wilsonspizzaandgrill.net and have them delivered to your doorstep.

  • Watch Party Ready: Pop a couple of Wilson’s Take and Bakes in the oven for your World Cup watch party.

  • Authentic Flavor: These aren't grocery store frozen pizzas. These are the same fresh-ingredient, house-blended mozzarella pies we serve right here on Quindaro Blvd.

  • Nationwide Delivery: From New York to Los Angeles, we’ll get our KCK classics to you in time for kickoff.

Celebrate the Beautiful Game with the Beautiful Slice

Kansas City is about to make history, and Wilson’s Pizza and Grill is proud to be part of the flavor that defines this city. Whether we see you at the shop or see your order online, let’s celebrate the World Cup with the best pizza in America.
