The place is fun and casual. The pizza was very good. We had an 18 inch pepperoni and a 14 inch Meat Lover’s. It was enough for four people. The pizza was ready fast and we were in and out in no time. It was kitchen too busy on a Sunday around noon. They have daily lunch specials that are very reasonably priced from 11 am to 2 pm.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian pizzas

I moved to Texas 8 years ago and my only complaint was the pizza here is terrible after many drives I stumbled on shorty's I found amazing pizza many versions great service will definitely be visiting when I'm in waco ps you can also buy by the slice

Shorty's is hands down one of my favorites spots in the city. The pizza is always fire. One of my favorite things is the pizza pillows. My only issue is that sometimes there is more cheese on one side of the pillow than there are pepperonis. Other than that, this is a very solid pizza joint. Definitely recommend.
