Amazing the filling sandwiches!! You really get a good bang for your buck! Pizzas are just as great!!

I brought my dad here for his birthday, he has had a hard time finding good wings in the area and this place popped up as having "the best wings in Columbus" so I figured we would give it a shot. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked good, the wings were really good. I got the garlic parm and he got the teriyaki we ordered them crispy and they were perfect. There was only 1 girl working the dining room but she kept on top of it and we never had any issues with getting her attention if we needed anything. This is just a little dive bar, so nothing fancy but it had a cozy vibe and a family feel. There were a decent amount of families in there, and when we were finishing up there was a group of young soccer players with parents coming in. I don't live in the area but if I'm visiting my parents I would bring them back. Dad said he would be back to try other things on the menu. read more

First time as a new resident in Delaware and loved it! Tasty food with competitive pricing. Nice selection of beer on tap and bottled/canned options there. Interested in checking out the patio during the warmer weather! read more

The food was outstanding! The service was really good and we could actually hear each other talking! It's a very homey feeling being there.

I stopped in and tried the pizza and got a to-go pie and some chicken Alfredo. This is a cool bar/restaurant. The staff were awesome. Pizza - Small Pacer and a large Buckeye pizza (to-go). Pacer was cheesy by design. It had great flavor. M Buckeye pizza - it was good but not my speed. The topping coverage was not like the Pacer (I should have taken a picture). Chicken Alfredo was a hit in the house. Everyone loved it. I am going to go back when I am in the area just to see if it was a one-off on the pies because of the ratings. This is a cool place, and please give it a shot as I am not a food critic but providing my experience to my individual tastes. read more

Best pizza in town! Fun and relaxing environment with RTN to watch horse racing. Great beer selection too. This place definitely fits the vibe of our community. read more

Best pizza in Delaware! Love the hot wings. Always our fav! Friendly staff and quick service.

Great pizza. Pipin' hot with a crispy undercarriage. I'd like to sit down and chill next time instead of grabbing to go. The girls running the register were on top of things and were super nice! read more

My only wish is that they do so well in this location that they expand with more sit down room :). Best 'to go' pizza on the NW side, imo. We were psyched when this (4th?) Shorty's location opened and it was North Upper Arlington adjacent. In our years in UA we've worked around the area, found some good, some very good, but no great Pizza options. This is that, great AND if you spec it right you can get a healthy and excellent salad. High quality greens, they have very good veggies in general. People working there were happy, busy, great service too. read more

Food was awesome, best wings! It was busy but our server was awesome. Not too loud but just right. We'll be back!!

This has quickly become our favorite pizza place in the area. The atmosphere is great. The service is very friendly. It's just a fun place. The beer is cold and reasonably priced. We have only tried their pizza, but it's also very good. We look forward to Friday nights when we can make it back. read more

Shorty's used to be my favorite pizza place around Delaware, we would order from there almost every Friday night. Haven't ordered from them as often lately as the food quality at the Delaware location seems to be going down hill. Decided to try again this past Friday and it will probably be the last time. Ordered a 12 inch mushroom and sausage pizza and 6 of their wings, which I had never had before. First the pizza, of the 12 inch diameter pizza, the cheese and toppings covered about 8 inches, which basically means I paid 18 bucks for an 8 inch pizza, pictures attached. Don't get me wrong, if you are a big fan of dough, crust, and tomato sauce, this is the pizza for you. I, on the other hand, prefer my pizza with toppings that actually cover the whole pie. As for the wings, I guess you better be a fan of drumettes because that is apparently all they have. Ordered 6 wings and got 6 drummettes, picture attached. I, unfortunately, enjoy the wingettes more than the drummettes. I would rate the taste of the wings a 4 out of 10. I ate two of them and threw the rest away. I don't know if they are cutting back on the amount of toppings and skimping on quality to help fund their two new locations, but this is definitely not the Shorty's I started out with. Btw, the last picture posted is taken directly from the Shorty's website. I assume this is what my pizza was supposed to look like, I just wish it did. read more

Pizza was absolutely fantastic. We got the pacer pizza with double pep and double cheese, we also added extra sauce. They cooked it perfectly and the cheese around the edges was nice and carmelized. My wife said the hot wings were even better than the superb pizza, huge meaty wings and yes just a little hot. You can get them breaded or naked and we went with naked and wow, very tasty. This place is a bit of a dive from the outside but don't be put off by it, the food is spectacular and from my experience the best pizza places are a dive! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 1000x 1000x read more

Excellent pizza and wings. Shorty's Ale is one of my favorite beers. And the service is personable and efficient.

Food was great! We got the Pacer Pizza and was so good. Our friends got the wings; very meaty and saucy. Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely go back read more

I love shortys because it offers a nice atmosphere and good food at reasonable prices for what the portions you get!! I usually get there pizza because I love the crust and the sauce and the toppings are good sometimes alittle on the light side but still a winner in my book! The chicken Alfredo is also an excellent choice!!! I would recommend anyone giving shortys a try if in Delaware or Powell Ohio that's looking for a friendly atmosphere and some good food served by local people!! read more

Love Shortys! Never had a bad experience wings, chili, salads, loaded fries and pizza are amazing. Service is great love bartender Amber.

Awesome pizza and better people! The owner is one of the nicest guys you could meet. Best pizza joint in Columbus. Thanks for the great service read more

I apologize I don't have any pictures to offer but I have quite a few recommendations. My family and I have been going to shorty's for over a decade. Recently, we picked up take out during this crazy COVID-19 times because we were crazy some awesome pizza. Well they had all guests pay by phone and they would come deliver your order to you, so you didn't even have to come inside if you didn't want to. If you did come inside, you went in one door and out another. They had you pay over the phone so you barely had to touch anything inside if you didn't want to. My top recommendations: their pizza, speciality pizzas: the cheeseburger pizza without a doubt, their chicken Alfredo, their side salad with ranch, and finally their cheesy bread. You won't want to miss out on this Delaware favorite! read more

I have never had an issue with their food. we order takeout. Decided to dine in this evening and it was a horrible experience. Misty the manager is incredibly rude. Left without even ordering food. read more

Just moved here from Georgia and decided to try out a different pizza place. My go to has been Del-Co but they had an hour wait for pickup last night so went with another popular place that was mentioned in a FB group. The wait time for pickup was 50 minutes, we got there at 40 minutes and it was ready. The pizza was cut similar to Del-Co but the cheese was not covering any of the end pieces. It tasted good, very greasy. They were out of wings only boneless was available. Next day warmed up and cold it was not good. We will try it again on a not so busy night read more

Great food. Takes a long time so don't come hoping to be served quickly. If you can wait it's delicious. I come every weekend (Friday and Saturdays are the busiest). Gives off a classic bar vibe so if you like a traditional horse and local football place, this is it. read more

This is the best pizza in Delaware, every time I order from them they deliver a a great pizza. This is only place that I will order from in Delaware and I've tried every pizza place in Delaware and Shorty's is the best read more

Pretty good Place have eaten on and off here for the past 10 years or so maybe eight years. Lol The pizza is good this little restaurant is right across from the hospital. They are always busy they have a nice selection of beers and wine and usually some type of horse race on the big screen. Mostly local folks at all know each other they get together and share drinks and break bread together. Worth checking out if you're near. Just stopped in for a pizza for lunch that is my update everything is the same they do have a patio though but you can eat lunch out or dinner. If you choose to eat outside read more

I've tried to give them grace but this last month has ruined my experience. Ever since they hired new staff things just haven't been good. Tonight we had to flag our server down 3 times and my food order was wrong. It was the same server these last two times that ignored us. read more

Shorty's - .50 cent wing night on Mondays! - Sandwiches Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

Received a free medium 1 topping pizza coupon in a "welcome to Delaware" package. We are new to the area and still looking for perfect pizzeria. At first look we had high hopes our search was over but sorry to say I was wrong. The edges of pie were good but the middle was soggy and almost wet on bottom. The taste was not fresh at all. It could be they have pre made "free" pizzas that we frozen that they use for the free ones, not sure, but this wasn't the "fresh" homemade pizza I was hoping for. You may feel it's wrong to complain about a FREE pizza but I see this promotion as a chance to bring in new customers and show them why they need to be ordering from from your restaurant. Instead it left me saying "I'm glad we didn't pay for that". Not sure if we will give them a 2nd chance. We did ask when ordering if we could change it to large and pay the difference but was told no. The coupon only was good for a medium. This is why I feel they have special pizzas for the free ones. If wet soggy pizza is what you like, this is your place. As for us, our search continues. read more

We had a pizza, which was good. But the wings. Yum!! They were very meaty and all the flavors we tried were good! The only reason they don't get 5 stars is price. They are definitely more expensive. read more

Took my brother here for lunch. The waitress and food were fantastic. I would highly recommend Shorty's to anyone interested in good food!

We can always count on good food & service at Shorty's ! Last minute decision or plan a week ahead ! It's always consistently a good varied menu- hard to pick which item is best every single trip - great pizza & wings , good beer choices , sauce always tasty whatever comes with it. We are a Family biz ourselves , it's great to watch ANOTHER Family do things very well ! They do indeed ! - The Conte Contractor Family of Central Ohio read more

Shorty's homemade chili is incredible, Tom the owner is using a family recipe and it's some of the best chili we've ever had at any restaurant. You have to pair it with their in-house special made Shorty's Lager, a great craft made beer, that's cold and crisp with a very bold flavor and body. Every single thing we've gotten from this awesome Delaware eatery is FIRE! It's family owned and operated with care and passion for their customers. Last time there we got spaghetti and meat balls, without a doubt the meatballs are as good as their chili, moist and bursting with flavor set off with their homemade marinara sauce. This place is worthy of a spot on Diners Drive-ins and Dives for sure. Take your family out and enjoy a local joint that's doing food right, you won't be disappointed!!! Also the best brewed iced tea I've had in years! That alone gets an extra 5 stars!!! Thank you Tom for your good cheer and awesome service! We'll be back again and again and again... read more

We have eaten at this place for dinner. The group had subs and everyone liked the food, the buns were really good, I had a fish which came with cheese and no tarter sauce which was a strange combination. We ordered pizza for delivery that was good. I would order from them again, the sauce was a little sweet but ok. The crust was very good. read more

The pizza had a good flavor, medium crust, fair amount of cheese and toppings. Pepperoni had a kick to it. It was about $16+ for a one topping. The chicken alfredo was awful. The sauce was watery and flavorless. The salad that came out before it had huge chunks of iceberg that were not even broken apart. Ten bucks wasted. Service was abrupt, no charm there. Had to keep going back to the cashier/bar and wait to be noticed for more silverware, plates, etc. Not sure if I will ever go back to try a sub. Their sign "voted best italian" is a joke. They don't know squat about pasta, for sure, and where is the competition? Meh. read more

If Cheers was filmed in a pizza joint, it would have been Shorty's. The food is excellent. Everything from the ChiliMac to pizza and subs to nachos are served piping hot and at the height of deliciousness. The place is a harness-racing bar -- and they make no bones about it. You can watch any other sports on the TVs but the flatt-screen behind the bar is reserved for harness racing. And with Delaware being the home of the Little Brown Jug -- there are a lot of folks interested in this type of establishment. Only con would be that wait staff can be a bit abrupt, but once you visit a few times becomes part of the charm. read more

A real deal pizza parlor in 2017?? Yup! So many things about this place are awesome. They have their own Shorty's brew (by for them by restoration) which is delish! House salad: delish Pizza: also delish! Staff: super awesome! SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS! read more

I had Shorty's recently at the Powell location. I got it take out and it was good. We got the works on the pizza, I think it was called the MVP. There were a lot of toppings but because of either all of the toppings or because it sat in my car on the short drive home, the middle of the pizza was soggy. It was still good, just soggy! We will definitely give them another try. I also want to check out their mug club! read more
