Shakespeare's Pizza and Mail Order Pizza

We won some stuff...

Inside Columbia has a vote, and their readers pick the best haircut, the best car dealer, the favorite hamburger, the favorite hamburger pickle, the best hamburger pickle slicer, the best place to take a date, the best place to not take your mom, the favorite seaweed, the best place to take your dog for a walk, the best place to look before you step, the best place to get your pencil sharpened, the best place to stick your pencil, the favorite pencil, and about a bajillion other bests and favorites. We were flattered once again when we were picked as

Best Pizza Place

It's rather vain to toot one's own horn, but if we just say that Inside Columbia's readers tooted, that's okay, isn't it?

But what really gave us a huge case of Awww, Geee... you shouldn't have! was winning

Favorite Locally Owned

Business 

There actually is a guy that owns Shakes, and he lives here in Columbia.  But we consider Columbia as the real owner. We're glad we're your favorite.  You're our favorite.  You pay our bills, after all.  Thanks!!!

We're often asked "what's your secret?"

... why our pizza is different ... why so many flatteringly regard us as Columbia's finest.

There is no secret. Put the best stuff in, and the best comes out.

We make fresh dough, on site, several times a day. We start with Stanislaus pizza sauce - it's made from tomatoes, not concentrate - and add some of our own spices.

We use high grade provolone that's aged just right, and shredded, not diced... because it makes a difference.

We have to buy our pepperoni in sticks and slice it ourselves, because nothing we can buy pre-sliced is thick enough. Our ground beef and our sausage are lean, are real, and are not soy-extended; the sausage recipe came from The Hill in St Louis and it's made just for us.

When you order red onions or green peppers, they're fresh, not frozen.  You get your fresh veggies 1/8 inch thick, sliced in the last day or two.

In short, everything is the best and thickest and freshest of its kind, and we pile it on like we were making it in our own kitchen to eat ourselves. No interference from bean counters in the home office.

 

Go ahead and check out the menu, visit the gift shop, or throw caution to the wind and see if the banana sticks to the wall for you. (It has for us just the one time.)

Allow our business to help your business.

We tried to make a powerpoint to show you all the synergies and strategies and so on, but you'd see right through that. Besides, our own mission statement's too simple for that.

Anyway, we held a retreat with our own whiteboards and and a fridge pack of Frescas and came up with three easy and nifty ways Shakespeare's will help your business change the way you look at lunch hour, and maybe other hours.

Now, if you're a not-for-profit, we've got a couple other options, too.
