I don't know about the owner but the sevrvice is well enough. I've been going to Papa Keno's ever since I was little. They have wonderful food and the people that work there have never been mean. If you're looking for a wonderful pizza place that is not fast food (although they do serve you quickly for your approval), Papa Keno's is the way to go.

At Papa Keno's today for lunch, I was met with a rude cashier who seemed to have no interest in serving me, for whatever reason. When he gave me the salad dressing for my salad, I saw that the container was covered in an off-white translucent goo. I pointed this out, at which point he gave me a nasty look and said "what do you think is wrong with it?". Other stuff happened between myself and this jerk that I don't want to go into so as not to defame Papa Keno's just because of one idiot they hired. But I will say that it's QUITE OFTEN that the service is VERY lacking and rude.

I think so, with Rudy's a close second. I havn't had service problems and I've been there quite a few so... Selection is great, I usually get the Kid Keno. Best part is the large chunks of garlic perfectly roasted on the kid keno. They have a nice selection of Mirco-brewery beers. Also I'm from NY and this place holds its own.

Im 44 and I recently relocated to the Topeka area. I am originally from Philadelphia - home of the Cheese Steak, Hoagie and some really great pizza.

I have to say that it is VERY FRUSTRATING to get any of the above that even comes close to the quality back home in Philly. I've tried "Jersey Mike's" for steaks and hoagies - nadda. Ain't gettin it. I found my way into Papa Keno's one afternoon - the service was ok, the atmosphere was cool and THE PIZZA WAS INCREDIBLE!

Even though it a 30 minute drive I'll be back again and again. Good thing they aren't here in Topeka as I'd be eating it 5 times a week but then again I wouldn't mind.

This is the only good memory that I have from my visit to Lawrence. The best pizza I've ever had!
