Shakespeare's Pizza

It's the pizza, stupid. And maybe the beer. Everything else can go fly. Columbia's favorite pizza place, Shakespeare's was voted the #1 College Hangout in the nation by Good Morning America. Have you had a slice today?

Pizza is awesome! The 16 inch is huge; ratio of cheese , crust, and sauce is perfection; and the toppings are generous! I'm pretty sure the bathrooms are stocked w/ charmin toilet paper, which is rare!

I love this pizza . This is a weird thing, but the taste reminds me of the pizza I used to eat with my parents every week when I was a little kid in my hometown. I just love it.

Alan Hedrick

The pepper cheese is unique and incredible. Just one of the things you do and find out you love it. Highly recommended.

Best cheeseless pizza in Columbia and you get to take your cup home. Can't beat that!

It's a staple for the area. Of course you have to eat here. Otherwise you would be offending Columbia and its proud pizza eating residents.
