Gumby’s Pizza: The Post-Trip Comfort Food You Didn’t Know You Needed 🤪

Just got back from a long trip and needed something cozy to settle back in—Gumby’s delivered (literally and figuratively). We ordered through DoorDash, which was super easy, and the driver was great about keeping in touch. Smooth process from start to finish.

This time we opted not to get pepperoni since it can sometimes feel a bit too oily for us, and honestly? Solid move. If you’ve ever felt the same, I definitely recommend trying a different topping combo—it made the whole pie feel lighter but still just as satisfying.

As you can see from my photos… I only remembered to snap them after the pizza was already half gone. I think that says enough. Also ordered the 12 Pokey Dots—and let’s just say there were only 3 left by the time I took a picture. They’re just really tasty, cheesy clumps of doughy goodness. You’ve been warned.

The crust is that perfectly chewy, comforting kind that hits the spot after a long week (or a long flight). Gumby’s really is that reliable go-to when you want to feel full, happy, and a little nostalgic.

What to order: 12 pokey dots 14” build your own pizza (for a normal sized pizza) Pro tip: if you’re looking for a smaller pizza for 1 person, then they also have 10” or 12” as well. I really like how it’s so customizable.

Highly recommend. Especially if you forget to take pictures until you’re halfway through. That’s when you...

Had an annoying experience here last night - I guess that’s what we get for ordering late at night with one college-aged employee running the whole place.

We ordered a Galore pizza and pokey sticks for takeout around 10:30pm. When we went to pick it up, the one worker (seemingly only worker present) tried to give us a pepperoni pizza for Jonathan. After 2 times of us saying that’s not the right name, he then said they didn’t have an order for Jordan. I showed him my confirmation email where I had already paid with Apple Pay and the items ordered. I was appreciative that he then looked at the order and put it in the computer manually, no questions asked, and said it would be about 10 minutes to make. He was right on time, again very appreciative of the prompt service. We saw the pokey sticks on top and figured we were good to go… I guess we should’ve checked our other box prior to leaving. We got home to find that it was just a pepperoni pizza.. a $13 item compared to the $20 specialty pizza we had paid for. I’m very inclined to believe it was the same pizza for ‘Jonathan’ he tried to give us the first time based on the 10:22 timestamp...

I ordered two pizzas and some sides from this business on 05-17-25. When they arrived the pizzas had been tipped. One of them was still alright, but on the other most of the toppings had slid off the pizza. I called to complain, got the manager, and he said he'd send me a replacement. When I got that pizza it was ALSO tipped, and the toppings had slid off that pizza. I called again, and the manager (never got his name) told me he'd give me a coupon for a free extra-large specialty pizza for any future order. He said it would be tied to my phone number, and would show up if I called in a new order. But when I called today to place an order, the guy I spoke to (different person) said he didn't see any notes about a free pizza, and refused to give me that offer. When I asked to speak to a manager he said he was one. He also refused to give...
