Papu's Cafe · Waldo
KCUR's guide to Kansas City Greek and Mediterranean cooking says the gyro sandwich at this Waldo cafe is big enough to keep you full for days, packed with gyro lamb and beef and lettuce, and finished with house made tzatziki. The Pitch put Papu's up against another shop in a head to head lamb gyro tasting years earlier. Order the gyro sandwich and ask for extra tzatziki on the side.
Jerusalem Cafe · Westport
Jerusalem Cafe started in Westport about thirty years ago and still cooks over the golden dome wood fired oven that The Pitch calls its signature. KCUR points to the Philly gyros sandwich as the American twist worth ordering, made with lamb, beef or chicken plus green and red peppers, mushrooms and tzatziki served on the side. Readers voted it Best Gyro, Best Greek Restaurant and Best Falafel in The Pitch's 2025 Best of KC.
Mr Gyro's Greek Food & Pastry · Overland Park
The Pitch described the gyro sandwich at the Metcalf Avenue shop as slices of peppery beef and lamb piled high on a soft oversized pita, with thick cut tomatoes and rings of raw white onion trying to hold the meat in place. KCUR notes the gyros come in a range of beef and lamb combinations and that the feta burger is a Greek take on an American classic. Get the gyro sandwich and a piece of baklava.
