“It’s the pizza, stupid. And maybe the beer. Everything else can go fly.”

Pizza makers

We suggest the pizza…

All our pizzas are served with your choice of wheat or white crust. Hardly anybody orders the wheat, but everybody should. We normally make it medium thickness, but you can have it extra thick or extra thin if you like, and that doesn’t change the price (flour’s cheap). Allergy & Dietary Information →

(P.S. Try our Gluten-Free pizza!)

~ Pizza ~

Small / Medium / Large
8″ / 12″ / 16″
-OR-
A Large is Not Necessarily A Large

Our large is 16″ in diameter (201 sq in), always has been. Lots of other nice joints have a 14″ (154 sq in) they call “large”. They call a 16″ (if they have one) Extra Large. A 16″ has almost a third more area than a 14″. So, our “Large” is about a third larger than their “Large.” It’s all semantics, but still … a large is an extra large is not a large. So know that. We do.

  • The Masterpiece $17.78 / 29.73 / 43.18

    ABC News and Good Morning America called this the best college eats in the nation in their Best Bites College Edition.  We’re okay with that. (Google it, we dare you.)

    Red Onions, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Fresh Mushrooms, Black Olives, Green Peppers, Italian Sausage, and Lean Ground Beef.

    This is a huge amount of food. Forks strongly recommended; the toppings all fall off. We sometimes hear remarks about its spendiness, but consider this: the 16” Masterpiece has a POUND of meat (after cooking) a POUND of vegetables, and is a full meal for four, maybe five. The whole thing weighs about 5 pounds! You pay for what you get.

  • The Pizza Lovers’ Passion $13.91 / 22.56 / 32.71

    Order any five toppings of your choice, you only pay for four. It’s your money… you decide.

  • The Darwin $13.91 / 22.56 / 32.71

    Named in honor of our heart-healthy (former) Mayor, Darwin Hindman, and all that he has done for Columbia. Red Onions, Green Peppers, Artichoke Hearties, Turkey, and Tomatoes.  (Order this, it’s good for you)

  • The Vegetablenarian $13.91 / 22.56 / 32.71

    Double Cheese, Red Onions, Fresh Mushrooms, Black Olives, and Green Peppers. Feel free to substitute any of the other toppings. It’s your money.  (Order this. It’s good for you.)

  • The Meat Lover’s $13.91 / 22.56 / 32.71

    This thing has well over a POUND of meat on the large one… after cooking. Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Ground Beef, Italian Sausage, and Breakfast Bacon. Don’t ask about nutritional information on this one.  Just… don’t.

  • Panda’s Pepper $13.91 / 22.56 / 32.71

    Brought to you by the letter “P.”  This is one that a whole bunch of Shake’s emps like, but we don’t know why.  Must have been the Eighties. Pepper Cheese, Pepperoni, Green Peppers, Jalapenos, and Banana Peppers.

  • Good Ol’ Plain Cheese Pizza $8.75 / 13.00 / 18.75

    Many say that you should judge a pizza joint by its plain cheese pizza. We agree. A very economical choice and everybody likes it. Or…

~ Salads ~

These are our Regular Size salads.
They’re a light meal,
or a nice side for one or three.

We also offer larger sizes:
A Family size that can serve about 4-8,
and a Catering size for 8-12.

  • Ollie’s Salad $7.85

    The Bestest! Spinach, cranberries, glazed walnuts, red onion, mandarin oranges, gorgonzola cheese with balsamic vinaigrette.  Named in honor of the owners’ dog.

  • The Natalian $7.45

    Natalie is not Italian. Nor is this salad. But we like it. Lettuce, red onions, tomato, croutons, provolone, ham, pepperoni, banana peppers, with Italian dressing. You can change the dressing, but don’t. And don’t ask Natalie why.

  • Louie’s Salad $7.24

    Spinach, sliced almonds, hearts of palm, shredded Parmesan cheese, croutons and a secret, delicious dressing. Named in honor of one of the manager’s dogs, Louie. He doesn’t like the salad (He’s a dog. Dogs don’t eat salad. They eat rabbits. If they can catch them. Otherwise, it’s the same dog chow over and over and over…) But his owner likes him, as well as the salad. Don’t ask us what a heart of palm is. All we’ll say is that it’s kind of like a Vienna Sausage, but it’s a vegetable.

  • Meats and Cheeses $7.25

    Iceberg-Romaine lettuce blend, turkey, ham, Swiss/American blend cheese, cheddar cheese, artichoke hearts, and tomato

  • Vegetarian Salad $7.24

    Iceberg-Romaine lettuce blend, red onions, mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, cheddar cheese, broccoli, and tomato

  • Caesar-ish Salad $6.85

    Caesar Salad stuff. No, it’s not Romaine like it’s supposed to be, but 9.9 out of 10 of our customers prefer the slightly lower price.

  • Dinner Salad $6.85

    Iceberg-Romaine lettuce blend, red onions, cheddar cheese, and tomato. A nice simple dinner salad if that’s all you want, but boy it’s just that. Simple.

In the Midwest, Ranch dressing is a food group

  • Salad Dressings Comes with salad, 0.47 for extra

    Choice of T. Marzetti’s dressings with the Vegetarian, Meats and Cheeses, and Dinner Salads.

    Dressings (except the Ollie’s and Louie’s) are always on the side in a packet.

    Extra Dressing Packets – $0.46 – It ain’t the cheap stuff, and it ain’t free. We make like maybe four cents on each packet.
