Wasn't it California Pizza Kitchens? I think it had a yellow awning and was right next to Battle's BBQ old location.

Lucky's is right. But i think it was called something else before that also.

Shout out to Home Team listed before. 4 Mediums for 10.99, must have ordered that at least twice a week my freshman year.

Wish I could find that Home Team Pizza commercial they filmed at Sterling University or whatever it's called now, University Plains I think.

I know it was cheap, and the crust was bad, but I have nothing but good memories of Home Team. One night after playing basketball at the rec for about 3 hours, I ate two medium pepperonis (rounding up...I didn't finish the 2nd). I should've taken a picture of the toilet the next day.

Crust was a lot better when you drown it in garlic butter :) We would always get the 3 medium deal just between 2 maybe 3 people.

Did Gumby's AND Home Team go out of business??? I loved their cheap-*** pizza; it tasted like cheap-*** pizza, but still.

Lucky's, Something like $6 for a medium 1 topping & unreal breadsticks. Perfect drunk food across from Friley all freshman year until it closed. Now it's a Mongolian restaurant.

That place was just called The Pizza Kitchen. It was owned by the same people who own Luculans. The crock pizza was awesome.

I think Mr Health Inspector was the reason Gumby's closed.

I did my best to make sure they were financially stable. Rarely ordered the pizza, but loved their Pokey Stix and pepperoni rolls
