To all my fellow college students who are living on a budget and who are always on the hunt for a good bang for your buck type food deal then there is one place you should avoid. That place is Shorty’s Pizza Shack located on 12th street right next to Baylor University. I must admit that the atmosphere was great. The service was better but the pizza was lacking in taste for the amount of money you will spend.
After eating there I believe that the pizza is overpriced for what you receive. The pie itself passed the smell test the eye test the feel test and if it could talk it might past the hearing test but as far as the taste test goes, it failed with flying colors especially when you are looking for the best pizza for your budget. The pie was missing the most important element of a pizza or any food for that matter. It was missing flavor. For the price you paid that’s the one thing that cannot be compromised. It can look poorly put together or feel dry but you cannot compromise the taste when you are going to spend fourteen bucks on a pizza. In my opinion they are a good 10 dollar pizza but they pale in comparison to Dominoes, Papa John’s and other top pizza chains. I honestly enjoyed my time there and a couple of beers helped wash down the pie and also wash away the taste. Since I’m college student I always have to watch what I spend and I walked away from Shorty’s feeling like I wasted money.
