Gumby’s Pizza

Been eating Gumbys for 5 years now. It’s good pizza and the pokey sticks are legendary drunk food. This is drunk pizza for the most part. It’s good but if you’re older and sober, you won’t really be too crazy about it unless you’ve been drinking. That being said, it gets the job done and beats the bigger chain places like dominoes and pizza hut (cardboard with red sauce on it). Parking is limited but they do deliver and its close to campus and a lot of bars.

It took my food over an hour and a half to show up, whenever I got it the pizza wasn’t warm but yet seemed like it sat around for about 30 – 45 minutes. Luckily, the delivery driver was apologetic and friendly. Besides that, I wasn’t happy.

good pizza if your drunk but horrible sober. They don’t serve ½ of the pizzas on the menu and it’s usually undercooked. Not bad prices but everyone who works their is rude or high so don’t expect customer service. This is just a grimy Tallahassee pizza joint, so save yourself and just drive a mile down the road to MoMo’s pizza

I wish there was less than one star to tap. I’ve tried twice to order pizza from here… one time on a Thursday, a pretty slow night. The worse service you could possibly imagine.

Great food. Terrible customer service. I called to complain that the food was 2 hours late and I got hung up on!

Used to love gumby’s… until a gross, fast, nasty little bug (pretty sure it was a roach) crawled out from under my pizza!!! Thankfully I killed the little nasty, but thanks to gumby’s, I got violently ill from the pokey stixs and I spent the entire next day cleaning everything in my room and getting it sprayed.
I seriously wish I could give you a zero star, because REALLY!!! I could have had a serious bug problem thanks to you (and no, it wasn’t already there because my room was clean, have never had a bug problem, and the bug was UNDER the pizza slice)
Basically, for those of you who want pizza at 2 am, you better be prepared to risk a bug infection as well.

Words/​phrases associated with Gumby’s: late night, drunk food, no A/​C, stoner, carbs, ranch, Pokey Stix, cheap, long wait times, and Delicious — with a capital D.
Pokey Stix are a right of passage for Florida State students. What are they exactly? In short, sauceless pizza cut into bite size strips. Mozzarella cheese, garlic butter and Italian spices are served with marinara (referred to as Pizza Sauce) and ranch for dipping.
My Italian heritage is on the line here for expressing how well Pokey Stix pair with ranch dressing. Sometimes, the truth hurts. The pizza sauce pairs just as well.
Forewarning, there are no seats inside, it’s usually hot as summer, and wait times can be lengthy during peak hours. But I’ll be damned, Gumby’s knocks out truly satisfying food.
You don’t have to be an undergrad to enjoy the essence of Gumby’s, but it’ll sure as hell make you feel like one.

The Ranch is. Gumby’s is the only place where I will eat Ranch with my pizza. Now customer service wise, it just depends on who is at the front when you come. Some times you get a pleasant greeting other times it can be a bit snippy.

Gumby’s isn’t here to compete with anyone except Gumby’s. Seriously. There’s no worry about a diminished flow of business. If you’re a past or present student, it’s highly unlikely you’ve never had a slice or two from this place.
I’m not going to go on and on about Gumby’s Pizza. If you’ve had it, you understand what it is, and its place in your TLH history.
I will, however, share with you all what I find to be a fascinating piece of history involving Gumby’s. The year was 1991. A young psychedelics enthusiast by the name of Marshall Ledbetter had spent the better part of a week in early June on a continuous acid trip. During the first week of June, he had rented a Lincoln Town Car from Budget Rentals (on N. Monroe, I think). Anyway — in the wee hours of June 14, 1991 — Ledbetter broke in to the Florida Capitol complex. He managed his way to the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms office and phoned an odd assortment of demands to somebody (presumably, the authorities).
Where does Gumby’s Pizza fit into all of this? — well, just hold your horses…
As the dark morning hours moved on, Ledbetter faxed his demands to a local radio station. (See the photo I just loaded up). At the top of the demands list? — That’s right, a 20″ Gumby’s Veggie with EXTRA Jalapenos.
For a solid year, maybe more, the «Ledbetter Special» was known far and wide. you could call 22-​GUMBY and simply order a Ledbetter.
So… — Perhaps we should bring this oldie but goodie back to the Gumby’s lineup.
Oh, right… — whatever came of the incident? — well, Ledbetter was finally talked down, and the court ordered him on an anti-​psychotic treatment of sorts. He spent some time at the Chattahoochee mental facility where he would unsuccessfully attempt a breakout later on that Fall.
For more on Marshall Ledbetter, check out the Wikipedia entry.
But, for now, try your luck ordering the Ledbetter special at Gumby’s! — It’s quite likely that the entire staff was born after this event — so they will perhaps appreciate the history lesson as well.

Worst pizza place ever. Please avoid at all costs.
This is the SECOND time this semester this place has completely dropped the ball and forgotten my order. Any other business and they would be out of business. I will not tolerate pizza places that completely forget an order I have logged with them, and so I will no longer be ordering from Gumby’s pizza.

Great pizza for a great price. The Pokey Stix with homemade ranch is NOT to be missed and are half price on Wednesdays. Pepperoni and cheese pizzas are the most inexpensive — but if you have the cash, a BBQ chicken pizza with extra onions is THE WAY TO GO! Definitely part of the college experience that should not be missed.

I’m not gonna lie, the pokey sticks at any Gumbys are good but the customer service at this location is always horrible. The last time I went there they allowed us to pay full price even though they had a deal going on. Overall, they just seem like a bunch of jerks. Don’t go there unless you are drunk and/​or in college.

Tastes like they ripped off Papa John’s…but then they changed the dough recipe by a fraction of a spice.
It’s certainly cheaper than Papa John’s so I recommend Gumby’s over one of those commercial pizza places (Papa John’s, Domino’s, etc) but if you’re on a quest for that perfect pizza… let me stop you right there…
This just ain’t it. Maybe in a pinch? If everywhere else is closed? or if all other pizza places in Tallahassee burn down. This review is just for their pizza, no other menu item so I will update when/​if I try other food items from them (I hear their pokey stix are good?).

Gumbys was our pizza place in college, many moons ago. If anything, get the Pokey stix! Pizzas are good and sometimes ok. Depends on what day and time you get your pizza. Good luck though with late night orders.
Just get the pokey stix!

One point for being open late, ½ point for delivering exactly at an hour, and ½ point for being edible and not making us sick. Nothing special about this pizza, kinda like Little Ceasars w more toppings and costs more.

Held hostage: Apparently, if you order late at night during established business hours, you are considered a lesser customer fit to be laughed at. We ordered around 2AM and it is now 3:30AM and we haven’t received our food. When we called to cancel our order, the person who answered the phone laughed at us and said the driver was on the way. That was over 30 minutes ago. I refuse to accept the fact that just because I’m in a college town and ordering late that poor service is acceptable. If you cannot provide adequate service during your advertised business hours, you should close earlier. Furthermore, after 3 am they will not answer your calls despite the fact that you are still waiting for the food that you ordered. Avoid this unless you feel they your money and business is worthless.

Pizza was amazing… cashier was highhh as hell. Still, the pizza was quick and turned out great. Will return.

Wanted stuff delivered to our room and they said no (we are 8 minutes away).This is why California is better. More accommodating. LA forever bitches!

Stroll down the Stripe — get wasted on beers and random conversations with college students about ACC and Politics. Then order a pizza from Gumby’s — it’s the only right order of things. This pizza is on the sweet and soft side but it’s GREAT. They really do butter the crust, so if you are on a diet. This place will take it to hell. So just walk down to grab a slice.

Late one night, we rented some movies and wanted a late night snack. Came to this little tiny hole in the wall. Wow, small old building, inexpensive pizza. We ordered a medium pizza with one topping and some pokey stick’s. Waited about ten minutes and we were on our way.
Got home and started to eat, greasy, greasy pizza. Yes, now I understand why the poor college student’s come here. I ate one piece and could not do another as the taste was all to much for me. The crust, the sauce and the ingredients were not bad, it was just so greasy. I guess if you have been drinking this place just may hit the spot nicely.
Now the pokey sticks were awesome! Breadsticks with Parmesan cheese, oh they were delish! Side of marinara sauce and ranch for dipping.
Daughter told me if you flash the guys working you get a free piece of pizza. LOL, great concept. But a big hell NO for me as it is not worth flashing over. The service was good, no complaints. I just think this city has better options. I will skip this place next time.
Hungover, yep this may be where to eat!
