    Frozen pizza to go
    Marisa M.

    This place is HUGE. You can definitely accommodate a large group or party here. The pizza was incredible and reasonably priced. I love that they have a freezer up front if you want to take their pizzas home to bake for later. Definitely our favorite pizza spot in town.

    Large pizza.

    Easily one of the best places in town. If you visit Columbia this or any of their other locations is a must!

    So we were told that while in Colombia that Shakespeare's pizza was a must try. We rolled in around 8pm and it was not very busy. We ordered and it took about 25-30 minutes to make the 3 pizzas. We ordered the Masterpiece which was pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, ground sirloin, mushrooms, olives, onions and green peppers. We also order a meat pizza and a veggie pizza. The Masterpiece was our favorite. The crust was hearty and a bit chewy. I liked the crusts thickness and flavor. The portion of meat and veggies ion the pizza was plentiful. The pizza was filling. They served both Pepsi and Coke products and have a full bar at the back of the restaurant. The napkins kinda resemble shop towels. Little weird but they were clean. Not the best pizza I have ever had but for the money a pretty decent pizza. I would stop again if in town.

    Shakespeare's has grown on my wife and I slowly over the past 10 years since we first arrived in town for college. It's now our go-to pizza stop in town. Both of our daughters are absolutely obsessed with it though. Our 3 year old requests it every time we go out to eat, and cries when the pizza is all gone. So now, we order a large to make sure we have plenty to take home with us. Docking 1 star just because our pizza crust is sometimes fairly tough. Usually it's great though.

    No pepperoni on my pizza although I ordered it.

    Great pizza and ice cold draft beer. Nice patio and large inside seating capacity. Best pie in Columbia hands down.

    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.
