    Hunter waited on us, the sandwiches we had were turkey bacon club, food was excellent, hunter filled us in on the pickles and brand sandwiches. He is really knowledgeable. Also we bought a couple jars of Chicago style giardiniera

    Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Love the homeade pickled peppers that they have. The staff is super friendly, and it was quick to get our order.

    a sandwich on a wrapper

    On a lively Thursday night/morning. I stopped into this local location of pickleman's located less than a fee blocks from a major university. It was packed with happy hu gry customers including myself. At first glance it seemed hectic but but the restaurant's team management was stellar given the time and task. At the beginiing for the food line (where orders are placed) My Pickleman's sandwich specialist was Dolton. Only 18 years and recently hired, he showed great composure while maneuvering the diversity of the crowd. With a smile on his face he efficiently took orders from the lively crowd including special order of running my sandwich through the toaster with spinach already on it. He is planning to become a pro skate boarder and and sandwich maker. Once through the toaster I moved along the food prep line where I didn't even have to tell the following sandwich maker my toppings because he already had the predetermined toppings memorized and asked if that is what was preferred. And at the end of the line the cashier and team lead Jay who was also recently hired (I know because the last time I came it was his first day) was making sure sandwiches were getting to their proper owners. Jay demonstrated extraordinary patience while helping different groups of tipsy college students worked yhtough payment arrangements and third party delivery drivers barked requests at him KUDOS JAY!!! Great job picklemans Pricing: fair my favorite deal is the pick 2 special Picklemans makes great soups. Environment: while slightly hectic the efficient work of the team was able to make the process quick and painless 5 stars guys

    Oh Shakespeare Pizza, how you have captured my heart... let me count the ways!…read more -Let me preface this by saying I'm new to town, and have only lived here a little over a month.- Out and about DoorDashing the other day around lunch time, an order took me into Shakespeare. I found a metered parking spot a little ways up the road and walked down. All the parking for Shakespeare I believe is metered on the main road... so bring some change! I walked in, told them the name I was waiting for, and stood off to the side. Suddenly a woman walked up to a glass window to my left, and started getting slices of pizza that I didn't even know was there! Next thing you know my grumbling stomach and curiosity had me waiting in line and I couldn't resist $3.99 a slice!! I ordered a veggie and a Canadian bacon / pineapple. The crispy crust, bright flavorful sauce and melty cheese won me over. I was determined to bring my 14-year-old son and to try some! Fast-forward to tonight. About 8 o'clock we went in to grab a few slices so he could try it! I really like the vibe inside as well... all wooden and dim makes it feel like the nostalgic pizza places of my childhood. Unfortunately, they only had pepperoni and cheese, and instead of it being fresh in the lineup on the counter like it was before, they reheated it I believe, from their leftover supply in the back. Was it good? Yes. Was it as good as lunch time? No. Will I still be back at lunch time another day to get more? Absolutely. As of right now, Shakespeare is my favorite pizza place in town! And nothing beats their pizza by the slice during lunch. Until then, I'll be dreaming of just how beautifully crispy and not...floppy... that crust is!

    Sure, Shakespeare's pizza is a vibe and a local institution, but glad we didn't wait because the…read morepizza is super mid actually quite not good. Cardboardy crust, sauce tastes like tomato paste and cheese is stodgy. Wow. Expected way more.

    Gumby's Pizza - Columbia, MO…read more I was working in Columbia last week when a few coworkers suggested we stop by Gumby's Pizza for lunch. Located downtown near the Mizzou campus, Gumby's is a well-known local spot that's popular with students and residents alike. As with most downtown areas, parking can be a bit of a challenge, so plan accordingly. At first glance, the restaurant looks small from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll find it surprisingly spacious. When you walk in, you're greeted by specials posted throughout the entrance area. We arrived right around noon and, to our surprise, we were the only group dining at that time. Orders are placed at the counter, where we were helped by a woman who was absolutely fantastic--friendly, patient, and accommodating, especially considering that several people in our group were visiting for the first time. After ordering, you can choose to sit at a booth, high-top table, or at the bar. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with TVs throughout, a music machine, and even a pool table for entertainment. Since I'm currently following a fasting diet and skip breakfast and lunch, I ordered my meal to go so I could enjoy it for dinner. Having had plenty of pizza the night before at Shakespeare's, I decided to switch things up. I went with a pound of boneless wings--half buffalo, half mango habanero--and added a side of beef toasted ravioli. One of our local coworkers also ordered the XL cheese bread for the table, and I can confidently say, based on both this visit and past experiences, it's easily in my top three for cheese bread anywhere. Everyone in our group was happy with their food, from the pizzas to the other menu items. Overall, Gumby's is a spot I'll continue to visit whenever I'm in Columbia. Great service, solid food, and a laid-back vibe make it a go-to for a casual meal downtown.

    I have to agree with, Rylee. Drunk and Sober me would rate this pizza totally different. Drunk…read morewould be a good solid 4+ and sober me would say it's just an average 3. However, I totally did enjoy my small sausage and jalapeno pizza after a night of bar hopping in COMO. I ordered at the counter and took my deliciousness back to my hotel room to enjoy. The counterperson was friendly and professional. There were several of us ordering and waiting for carry-out. She totally kept the line moving and even offered glasses of water for us to enjoy while waiting. My wait was actually a very short time. The set-up behind the counter was easy to view, so I got to watch them make my pizza. When mine came out of the oven, I knew it was mine. There were plenty of topping and the mozzarella cheese was well melted and even had a golden color to it. Is Gumby's the "best" pizza? No, but it is head and shoulders above a national chain pizzeria that is just a few doors down. So, I recommend them over Papa.

    Amazing pizza place to bring your kids!…read more There is a section with steps for kids to walk on and look through the window. Then above it is a hole where workers throw pieces of dough through for the kids to catch and later play with! Such a genius idea because it keeps the kids and adults entertained. Inside vibe of this place is awesome with an Italian man statue that the babies pointed out. There is a bar deep inside the restaurant almost a little hidden which has TVs. There is also a small section with a driving game, and two claw machine games where all kids gravitated towards. Pizza was good, they offer multiple sizes and flexible toppings. Serve your own soda/beverages. Red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese offered as well. They also give towels. Wish the crust had more crunch or fluff but it was right in between I highly recommend eating here!

    I had heard Shakespeare's Pizza was the place to try in Columbia thanks to SEC Network. We chose to…read morego to the Westside since it was closer to our hotel. When I walked in, it smelt like memories of my childhood going to different pizza places with my grandparents and parents. It definitely has a retro nostalgic pizza restaurant vibe. I walked up to the counter and when they asked me for my name, I said "Roll Tide." They were glad to do it as long as I didn't say Go KU haha My buddy and I ordered the Masterpiece which was basically a Supreme pizza that had been recognized my Good Morning America. We also ordered garlic bread. The garlic bread came out first and it was all right. It was soft which is important to me but it could have had a little more cheese or garlic on it. The Masterpiece was delicious. Pizza doesn't love me as much as I use to love pizza. But I had no trouble throwing down 4 slices with the sweet taste of extra sauce that I asked for. Definitely nostalgic and definitely great pizza and somewhere you should go in Columbia.
