The Combine is a new neighborhood pizza pub that opened in November on Troost inside a mixed-use building that once housed the city’s Wonder Bread factory. This spot pays homage to its location with its “Wonder Favorites” sandwiches (try the fluffernutter—marshmallow fluff and peanut butter on Wonder Bread) and with desserts made from longtime sister brand Hostess. Owner Alan Kneeland grew up on 75th and Troost and chose this location, and this name, to promote “bringing folks together.” With its inviting space, enticing tap list, signature cocktails and ’za from Pizza 51, Kneeland hopes people from all walks of life will feel at home here.
GO: The Combine is open daily 11 am-9 pm. 2999 Troost Ave., KCMO. thecombinekc.com
