Wha happen? (http://www.kstatecollegian.com/edge/new-restaurant-impresses-with-pizza-disappoints-with-prices-1.2502240) Obviously terrible pizza, i.e. drunk food, but wasn't that place, like, super successful?
-
it was the worst. so happy it's gone.
-
Gumbys opened up around 2000. I honestly cannot believe it took a decade to fail. Worst food in Manhattan.

A victory for Pizza Shuttlers everywhere! :cheers:

Shuttle with canadian bacon is still my fav fast food pizza.

was that the place with the aptly named "big ass" pizza?

Yep.
Was $7 when I was in school

ROFLMAO. If it doesn't have cream cheese on it then there's no reason to get it at the Shuttle.
I would rather eat a DiGiorno than Gumby's. The new place (Mr. Doughboy's) is definitely an upgrade. The pizza isn't as good as AJ's but they do sell it by the slice. They've also been advertising some kind of late night buffet which would probably be pretty cool.
Edit to add: one redeeming quality of Gumby's was that it didn't take too much to bribe their delivery drivers to drive you home.

I am not saying that Shuttle is fantastic. I realize it isnt. However it is the one food I can think of that I recognize it's simplicity, and love it more for it.

a large 12" pizza
WTF? A large should be 15" at least.
-
So they didn't leave because of a lack of business, right? It's been a few years since I lived in The Hat, but wasn't Gumby's always super busy after hours? Did they get shut down? Bought out? Couldn't compete with AJ?
HPPIQ types only, please shed light on this.
-
I have a feeling Booyah is behind this.

Best pizza in Manhattan was Cream Cheese/Pepperoni from Pizza Shuttle. Not "best quality" but for $5 it was the best option late night. Many nights of :bong: and pizza

I'm with you. I saw it closed for the first time this weekend and was all surprised. It's cheap pizza, but at a cheap price. Most college students live for that crap. It always seemed busy when I was in MHK.
-
Loved Gumby's. :***(
-
Loads of great memories there... :bitchslap:
-
Cream Cheese and Jalapeno pizza from Pizza Shuttle was the absolute bomb. However, I think they've changed the cream cheese in the last couple years. :dubious:

Yes!
-
only ate there after getting back from the bars. Which is partly their issue. That being said, i'm oddly beat up over this.

Yeah, it was horrible, but it was a staple of my college years. So, I'm sort of upset about this.

Pizza Rolls were very good for awhile there in 03-04. Really went down hill after that.
-
Pokey Sticks: Overrated or incredibly overrated?
-
gumby's pizza smelled like wet dog and tasted like a health code violation.
-
I'll always remember all the beer glasses I stole from there. :*(
-

Very overrated. However, Gumby's boneless wings were as underrated as their pokey sticks were overrated.
-
I never thought the pizza was that bad. :dunno:
-
Guy who owns tubbys bought them out. I had the late night buffet about 2 weekends ago, pretty good deal. As stated earlier its not as good as AJ's but better than gumbys. Was just as packed as gumbys after bars closed. Should be interesting to see how busy they are during the day.

big ass pepperoni :***(((

Shuttle was like some sort of reverse gremlin food for me. Never, ever, eat that crap before midnight.
-
literally two days before they closed, a delivery guy from gumby's said that the corporate owners of gumby's had a huge cocaine habit and came into town and cleared out all of their vaults so they could purchase more and more cocaine.
:surprised:

If true, that's the best restaurant story I've ever heard.
-
Would have to be high to appreciate the food.

My wife used to deliver there when we were dating (tons of free pizza). She said the corporate manager who landed here was so addicted to cocaine that he had worn away his nostril divider. This was what he told her, not her speculation.

Went there last year for the first time since '03. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned/upkept/etc since '03.

Loads of memories from that place on Saturday post-football nights. Was a good place to get away from the shirttucks who would invade the ville after games.
-
Yeah. Now that I think about it, all you pizza snobs can eat me because there were some good times in that place. Got completely housed on $2 pitchers more than a few times. :pbj:
-
if you're going to a place called Gumby's expecting great pizza well, you're probably a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
