Looks like a small hole in the wall place. (Some of my favorite eateries) nothing but a fib. A laid back chill out place. Service was great as well. I dont eat pizza.. well, I did today and theirs is great. Must try the fries pickles. They have a kick too.. will go back again.

Great spot for a casual afternoon pizza. We shared a meat lovers and tried the buffalo chicken pizza pillow. Pizza was great - rolled out this but held up well to all the toppings and the crust was great. Pizza pillow was tasty but could have been baked a bit longer to get the dough a little crustier and cheese a little meltier. Service was quick and friendly and the vibe is casual and chill - lots of college kids hanging out and working with beers. Happy we stopped here!

My waiter spoke to me with unprovoked suggestive comments that made me uncomfortable. I love Shorty’s and will be coming back, but unfortunately now I won’t feel as comfortable at this establishment like I did before.
