Uber Eats delivery yesterday. I liked the pizza ... 3 slices ... cheese with sausage ... crispy crust and good flavor ... slices were decent size. Chicken wings were tasty, but smallish. Dips were good. Salad was fresh tasting and nice size. I would order again, but prefer other places in town. read more

My husband has been craving pizza. We were on our way back home and were going through Waco and hit some traffic. We decided it was a good time to get off the highway and find some food. With Yelp's help it brought us to Shorty's. It is a little hole in the wall but from what we understand a popular spot for the locals. They have a to go side and a dine side to make your experience seamless. When we walked in we were greeted immediately. You order at the counter and Marisol answered our questions about the menu. When the staff found out, it was our first time there, they let us take our cups and a pen for souvenirs. So sweet! My husband chose a 14' pizza, they also offer a 18' option. He got pepperoni and Italian sausage. He really enjoyed it but he would have liked a little more pepperoni because he thought it was so good. I got their Pizza Pillow, not only was it affordable, it was delicious. I chose the Artisan cheese, that comes with get a feta, ricotta, mozzarella, basil and garlic infused olive oil, and I added spinach. It was so tasty and you could taste the garlic but it wasn't overpowering either. The crust was crispy but not burnt. I would definitely get it again and again. Shorty's has been around since 2011 and I see it being around for a long long time. read more

Every time I have been here the food is INCREDIBLE! It has affordable food. It is very much a college bar/resturanIt can get busy during the school year due to their specials throughout the week. read more

Holy moly! We rolled in for a Baylor visit and had some of the best pizza we've had in years..... and trust me when I say we know pizza. Amazing!!!!! read more

Love Shorty's! DELICIOUS pizza with a great patio / play are for kids. The inside portion of the restaurant is spacious and casual, but tidy and well kept. The service is always really good and the prices are excellent for the delicious pizza that you get. read more

When in Waco, TX and especially when you visit Baylor University, you have to stop by Shorty's Pizza Shack. There's plenty of room inside and on the outside patio to sit. The atmosphere is fun and the energy of the crowd is good. The wait staff are friendly and the food is good. The Cinnamon knots are amazing and our favorite item on the menu. The Pillows are all great as well as the pizza. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Awesome pizza and great craft beer selection. A nice hidden college hang out. Pizza by the slice with drink is a good deal. read more

This was straight-up racist behavior. While Mexican customers were in the restaurant, "Ice Ice Baby" was played four times in a row. The moment they left, the music immediately switched to country. The timing was not subtle, and it did not feel like a coincidence. Whether the staff thought it was funny or harmless, it came across as mocking and discriminatory. Businesses should be welcoming to everyone, not creating an atmosphere that singles people out. If this was intentional, it's unacceptable. If it wasn't, management needs to seriously evaluate what message they're sending. read more

The pizzas and cheese sticks are good. The cheese sticks actually taste like cheese sticks and not pre made from those boxes. The servers there are pretty chill, respectful and actually know when to check on their customers. Love 10/10! read more

The pizza pillows were perfect for sharing between two people instead of committing to a while pizza. Caesar salad was better than most pizza places of similar quality. Nice crisp romaine. Definitely would go again. We did takeout so can't speak to the service when dining in read more

Aiden Nett was a great server! He heard what we wanted and gave great recommendations for our orders. 10/10 killed it.

I've been here for almost 30 minutes and I have yet to get my drinks and it took him 15 minutes to even get my drink and food order . this place has horrible service. It's actually disgusting. they're not even busy. There's like six tables sitting outside and they have four servers. read more

What a fun place to go for kids! Outside area is incredible and even a large seating area inside if you want to watch kids run around while staying cool indoors. The food was great, I really enjoyed the pizza pillow! Yummy. And the service was smooth as well. We did go on a Sunday early evening so it wasn't busy, but I would definitely come back again! read more

Came in for a quick lunch. We were three ladies and split a large pepperoni with side salads. The food came super quick and tasty! The salad could have been a little fresher, but pizza was on point. Only had one slice left between the three of us. I definitely recommend if you want a quick tasty bite. read more

Wish I could I give this zero stars, but sadly that is not an option. Shoutout skinny mustache man that works behind the bar for ruining my Shortys experience, you were extremely rude. It doesn't help that the food sucks. read more

This place never disappoints. Great pizza and the wings are amazing. Service is fast and spot on. Love the atmosphere very kid friendly with the outdoors mini field. read more

Food is fresh and good. Service is okay. We must have had a new server. I had to ask for water three times. When I got my beer-see photo- she asked if I wanted a mug? The decorations are fun. Lots of stuff on the walls. read more

Shorty's Pizza Shack - Margherita Pillow - Pizza Near Me - Waco, Texas

It was a bit confusing to enter the place since there is a bar there as well. The cashier was friendly. We ordered a large pizza and it was not cut into slices which was unfortunate since we didn't have a Pizza cutter because we are not from here. However, the pizza was delicious and therefore giving this place 4 stars. read more

Good. Good food. Great service. Good prices. Great location close to many things in Hewitt and South Waco. read more

Best pizza around! Certainly top in Waco. Unfortunately, my fried mushrooms were BURNT. Maybe some order those.

Shorty's is THE pizza place to be at if you're going to school at or visiting Baylor. I wish I could write a song for Shorty's. I wish it knew how much it meant to me. The food is often slow to come out and the seats fill up quickly, but I don't even care because I'm so enamored with the pizza pillow. Their pizza is thin but doughy and has a very specific (and wonderful) taste. When Baylor events choose to cater Domino's or whatever over Shorty's, it breaks my heart. These slices are greasy and oily and you probably need to blot them first, but boy are they good!!! The pizza pillows are incredible, and my friend who visited once still dreams about them a year later. I recommend the spinach and garlic, but every single pizza pillow is fantastic. Shorty's has a plethora of deals featuring a new one each day, along with a happy hour from 3-6 on weekdays and lunch specials from 11-2 every day. These are all listed on their website. Happy hour is the most magical time to go because you can nurse a $4 pitcher of sangria while you wait for your hot $1.50 slices to come out. Also be sure to come on a Monday for $1 off pizza pillows. This place gets super crowded during happy hour toward the end of the week, so be sure to plan ahead, but it's practically been a ghost town when I've gone on Monday afternoons. Service is always friendly. Grab a drink and a slice and sit on their huge backyard-vibe patio! read more

Either our waitress didn't pay attention or cooks couldn't read. Ordered drinks and requested no ice but brought with ice, pizza requested pepperoni,black olive and mushrooms came without mushrooms so took back and corrected. Sprite was watered down and Shirley Temple had strange taste. Requested root beer but ONLY comes in bottles for $4.00 each. We had ordered 3 14 in pizzas and when we finished requested a box and received smaller box not 14 inch. My drink without ice came in used cup with Stetson name on cup that wiped off... after asking for box it was like she forgot after leaving table. It was absolutely freezing inside eating. Root beers were like 10 ouch and grandkids drink 2 each which totaled $24.00. I didn't plan on buying interest in business. 5 sodas and 3 14 inch pizza cost $86.00 and service was terrible!!! Think I'll pass next time for Shortys read more

They put 18 pepperoni on an 18 inch pizza and the additional mushrooms we asked for for $2.80 what the heck.... Do better read more

Shorty's Pizza Shack - Pizza Near Me - Waco, Texas

We were so lucky to find Shorty's on Yelp during our trip to Waco. It is truly a local gem. The Thursday night crowd was lively and we were lucky to find a table. We ordered salad and pizza pillows. They were exceptional. The pizza pillows were very unique, a cross between pizza and calzone. In spite, of the young, large crowd, the noise level was moderate. We are looking forward to our next visit to Waco. read more

We got Shorty's delivered to our hotel, so I can't speak on the ambiance. I think service was typical for pizza delivery. Their Margarita pizza was the BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. It was incredible. The entire pizza didn't last longer than half an hour, we devoured it. read more

Great service and the wings were FIRE! Cool spot, I'm from out of town and I'll be back when I'm in Waco.

sheeeeiiiiiitttt deez wangs n pizza was crazy good. shorty was fine to. I'll be back.

This is a very popular Baylor destination, especially on Thursdays when the happy hour lasts all day and you can get cheaper pitchers of sangria. It used to be you could get the sangria for $4, but they recently raised it to $6 which is a bummer. Still super fun because it's so busy and there's lots of friendly faces, but not as cheap of a spot before. The servers are on top of it and still manage to get everyone's food out fast despite it being crazy busy some days. Highly recommend to get the classic Baylor experience on a Thursday! read more

One of the best pizza's we've had!!! In town for the weekend. Almost went to dine-in pizza hut but it has bad reviews. Decided on this instead. OMG it's amazing!!!!! Great service and food. It's worth it to just come to Waco for this place. LOVED EVERY BITE!!!!! Definitely coming back! The music they play also makes it hard to leave, lol. read more

I have only eaten here because family loved and raved about this place. No one I know actually orders the pizza, because it's not any good. I will say the highly rated pizza pockets are a touch above mediocre, but sometimes they even contain too much cheese (not a phrase I use regularly), so again the ratios are just off and I would not come here for the food. The ambiance of this place is a college dive bar, probably really popular around game days. There is a little grassy area in the back, but I wouldn't claim it to be "family friendly" because the inside seating is primarily bar height tables, and the big draw of this place is likely alcohol and TV's to watch games. If you're young, child-free, primarily want cheap alcohol and whatever pizza your friends buy you for helping them move, this is your place. If I'm taking out of town guests somewhere in Waco for pizza - this is not the place to show off what Waco has to offer. Must better pizza is available at other places in town with a much better ambiance. read more

Wings are great, beer is cold, and the seating is super chill. Servers flirt super hard for tips and that's the main thing bringing me back every week. I know it's all for the tip but in the moment it feels a tiny bit real that feeling I haven't felt in so long makes the whole experience worth my time and hard earned dollar. read more

These reviews are total lies, this place cannot get a single thing rite. Every single thing about my order was entirely messed up and disgusting.... Buffalo chicken pizza with almost no sauce what so ever but a tiny drizzle over their bone dry old stale chicken. Friend pickles were just a box full of oil soaked pickles, fried mac and cheese bites were again just soggy globs of oil. Not a single thing was even remotely close to being hot and forgot every single dipping sauce including the one they charged me extra for. The fact that every single item was so abysmally cooked with zero care what so every tells me this is the standard for this place and the standard is " we don't care " read more

This review is for the one off Hewitt Rd. Great pizza and great customer service. Small pizza shop hidden
