    This was my first visit to the Tree and I fully enjoyed it. Grabbed 3 slices at the takeout window. Probably wouldn't get the peppadew slice again as didn't seem as fresh. This spot has got some real creative menu options that bolster Columbias pizza game. Really want to try the Kimchi Pie the next time I go! Girl at the window said it gets crazy when school picks up so I'm glad I was able to walk right up and order immediately during the slower summer months. While not the cheapest option with $14 for 3 slices but I will definitely be back on account of quick service and quality of ingredients.

    Pretty solid pizza but where they shine are their specialty pizzas. They are all so fun and tasty. I just had the jalapeno papa which was cream cheese, jalapenos/other peppers, and honey and it was so unique! Something I really appreciate about them is they really try to use higher quality oils which results in me not feeling terrible after I eat here. At least for lunch they were only open for walk-ups and we couldn't sit inside. I don't know if this is typical but it would've been nice to sit inside with the summer heat. Didn't get much interaction with the workers because it was just a walkup window but they seemed nice.

    Awesome pizza, we sat outside to eat, there are a couple tables there. Fresh toppings, delicious crust.

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review on Pizza Tree. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Best pizza in Columbia, seriously. Deciding between Shakespeare's and Pizza Tree? I'll help make the decision easier- definitely choose here (I know from experience). Last time I was here, you still couldn't sit & eat inside, but it's pretty small inside anyways. Best to order ahead of time online or via phone call and pick it up at their window. I've tried various pizzas from here and have never been disappointed. If I had to choose one pizza place to eat at for the rest of my life, I think this place would be it. My favorite is Steven's Cheese and Wabbit Food. Steven's cheese is the cheesiest yummy goodness you'll ever taste. It comes with parmesan on top, which gets crispy in the oven and a garlic-herb ricotta white sauce as the base. I've never had a better white pizza. Wabbit Food is your classic veggie pizza with fresh basil on top. It almost feels like it might be healthy while you're eating it because the veggies add such a refreshing flavor. The Mac and Cheese is also pretty popular I would say. It may sound weird, but don't knock it till you try it. It comes with a similar creamy white sauce as Steven's Cheese. Although you can make your own pizza here, I recommend getting one of their creations because even the classic ones like Wabbit Food or Pepperoni have their own unique touch that only Pizza Tree has to offer. Can't wait to be back in Columbia & stuff my face with Pizza Tree!!!

    This is my second time coming back and I was disappointed. I ordered the Wabbit food/Ranch Hands 18in without olives and it had olives. Reading the reviews makes it seems like it's a pretty common thing for them to mix up orders. The pizza was also burned on the bottom which was disappointing. An 18in is around $27 which isn't the cheapest. Id gladly pay if it came with quality as well. I probably won't be returning sadly.

    We had my MIL and BIL in town for a fun family night and needed some pizza! They are some big pizza connoisseur's so I wanted to really impress them, and who better than Pizza Tree?! I've heard some debate between PT and Shakespeare's in town and I don't think it's a debate at all! PT has soo many fun pizza options, the Kimchi one is my fav, that I've never seen at other pizza shops. It was also super easy to order ahead online. The salad they offer was also pretty tasty! Def my favorite pizza in town!

The lunch specials are very good and reasonably priced. Salads are fresh! The cookies are very rich! This pizza is unique to Columbia and does not fit the Greek or prolific writer mold. It is also way better than the national chains.

It's the kind of place that's perfect for grabbing dinner with friends or family and just enjoying some really good food. The wings are absolutely phenomenal. I've tried every flavor they offer, and my two favorites are easily the Buffalo and the Apple Bourbon. The Buffalo has an incredible buffalo flavor without being overly spicy, making it easy to enjoy even if you don't love heat. The Apple Bourbon is the complete opposite in the best way, bringing a subtle sweetness that makes for a great change of pace. The wings are always cooked to perfection with crispy skin and juicy meat, and they have a texture that I just can't seem to replicate at home. They're on the pricier side, but they're absolutely worth it. I've also tried both the Pepperoni Pizza and The Delicious, and both are outstanding. Sometimes a simple pepperoni pizza tells you everything you need to know about a pizza place, and Pappo's nails it. The homemade sauce, quality cheese, perfectly cooked crust, and seasoning all come together to make an exceptional pizza. The Delicious is exactly that, delicious. It's the pie contest winner for a reason. The combination of pesto sauce, shredded mozzarella, provolone, blackened chicken, caramelized onions, and fresh minced garlic creates one of the most flavorful pizzas I've had. Every ingredient tastes fresh, and you can really tell they don't cut corners on quality. I also have to mention the cookies because they are genuinely some of the best I've ever had. The fact that they're made with brown butter immediately sets them apart from your average chocolate chip cookie. They have the perfect outer structure, but the second you bite into one, the warm chocolate just oozes out. The brown butter adds a rich, nutty depth of flavor, and they're finished with just the right amount of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness. Every bite is a literal party in your mouth. If you leave Pappo's without getting a cookie, you're seriously missing out. While Pappo's is definitely on the pricier side (which is why its 4 and not 5 stars), though I've never once left feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. The consistency, quality, service, and atmosphere keep me coming back, and it's easily one of my favorite pizza spots around.

    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.
