Overland Park pizzeria closes but hopes to return in future

A local pizzeria has closed up shop in Overland Park, with plans to find a new home.

Pizza Shuttle closed its Overland Park restaurant earlier this month — its only Johnson County location.

Pizza Shuttle operated at 12094 W. 135th St.

  • The pizzeria operated out of a space on the northwest corner of West 135th Street and Quivira Road.
  • There, it operated for roughly five years.
  • Pizza Shuttle neighbored sushi and Chinese restaurant Saki at the southern Overland Park shopping center.

Pizza Shuttle wants to move elsewhere

  • Via social media, owners said the closure is temporary and that the Overland Park shop closed due to the end of its lease.
  • While the pizzeria has left the 135th Street space, owners want to find another Overland Park space out of which to operate.
  • An address and timeline for that reopening have yet to be announced.

This was Pizza Shuttle’s only JoCo location

  • Though customers can no longer visit Pizza Shuttle in the county, the pizzeria still has another metro area location at Kansas City, Missouri’s Crossroads district.
  • The original Pizza Shuttle also still operates in Lawrence, Kansas.
  • The Lawrence restaurant is Pizza Shuttle’s original location, and it’s operated there for four decades.
