Delicious and extensive menu full of sandwiches, pizzas and other types of foods. Nice selection of beverages from pop to alcoholic beverages. Nice and fun atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and efficient workers and comparable prices. Located close to the Baylor campus and within walking distance to a lot of the campus apartments and dorms.

The pizza has a special flavor to it and I tend to enjoy the lighter crust style. Food was very nice, and so were the mozzarella cheese sticks/bread knots. However, parking is always an issue, and when this place is popular on the weekends, there is no orderly process for being seated. You have to awkwardly stand by tables and wait for eating customers to get up. Or you could stand outside and wait, but the leaves the ability for a newer customer to come steal your spot. If they can fix service aspect of the restaurant, it will most definitely become a better pizza joint in Waco.

Ordered take-out for a graduation party. Great service and order was ready for us when we requested. Our favorites were the BBQ chicken pizza, garlic knots, and cinnamon knots.

We stumbled across this by accident and boy are we pleased! Food is really lovely and well priced. Beer is well kept and good choice and the staff are lovely. We wish we could have stayed longer!

My husband and I placed an order for pickup tonight for our first time eating here. The loaded fries were pretty good! I just wish they would at least grill the onions some before throwing them on the fries. The Shorty's salad was pretty blah though. It was mostly cheese and extra thick cut green peppers and hardly any lettuce. I did really enjoy the homemade croutons though. My husband thought the barbecue chicken pillow would've been better had it been cooked all the way through. The cinnamon desert was decent as well. They also forgot all the marinara and ranch sauces too, so luckily we had our own at home. All in all, the price was pretty decent for the amount of food we ordered but maybe the quality just wasn't there tonight. I just had higher hopes from all the reviews, but the place wasn't terrible.

A local gem. You really can't go wrong with this place. Great pizza, beer, and marks. Their pizza pillows are iconic and delicious. Great place to gran lunch or dinner with a friend.

It’s 3pm on a Tuesday (not a holiday) and I’m nom-ing on sangrITA and slice of pepperoni…for $3.50! They don’t make dives like this anymore. God bless you, shawty. Happy hour prices are legit.Sangrita = a blend of sangria wine with frozen margarita.This reviewer makes no claims or promises of the quality of any goods served at this establishment.

Love love love this pizza. Finally a really great pizza spot that still serves beer. Prob on of the best small eateries in waco. Try them it's really good and pricing isn't that bad either

A great place to hang out and enjoy sports on TV, as well I as eating the best pizza this side of New York.

The food was so good and cheap! The drinks were huge and really affordable. The service was great and the waitress even wrote a sweet note on our receipt.
