Gyros sandwich
Paul M.

This place is a gem! Excellent food and great service! They have been here since I was born over 55 years ago. One of the best pizzas in the world is right here in Columbia Mo. I love their pizzas and their authentic gyros sandwich's with their famous Greek salads. Owners are the best and very friendly. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed! I always make an effort to come to to us each time i visit Columbia.

Over cooked crust to dark hard.

Price to High for what you get! I could buy 4-5 Pizzas for the 1 I normally buy. Service slow stays very busy lots of delivery orders. Stops taking order's when they fall behind takes longer than what they estimate in time. Don't always correct there mistakes or over char

Chef salad

Tired from traveling, we chose this place based on Yelp reviews. Unfortunately Yelp let us down. The chef salad came with sliced lunch meat salami and packaged salad dressing. Sliced lunch meat? really? The worst offender, by far, was the house special hamburger pizza which in reality was old school cracker hamburger "pizza" with loads of white cheese on top. The mushrooms were canned and had a few boiled onions and green peppers peeking out. It was disgusting! Even my spouse, who eats everything, could barely stomach eating one piece of this monstrosity. Our daughter got a plain cheese pizza which although a little odd,was the best item from our meal. When our server asked if we wanted a box, we told her we didn't like the pizza. She exclaimed " oh, I thought you'd been here before. It's been the same since 1960's." Most people would have taken the pizza and salad charges from the bill with unhappy customers and barely touched food. Sadly, we paid 2022 prices for one of the worst meals ever.

Good pizza and the best gyros in town- prep time is slow but worth the wait. Gyros is on a spit instead of frozen pieces

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.
