Nah. I loved the pepperoni rolls too but sticks were better. Their pizza was atrocious though.
We can both agree that the pizza was garbage.
Interesting. There used to be like ten locations up here but many of them closed over the past three years even before COVID. I can only think of two in our area actually. But they're good and the pizza is pretty decent for what it is. But the Toppers Sticks are great after bar food.
Home Team pizza was the best cheap pizza shop.
Get the prime rib next time and you'll wonder why you always got lasagna.
Hot out of the oven it was seriously good ****. Leftovers were NOT good.
Gumby's website says there is still one open in Iowa City? Is there truth to this? Are the pokey stix or pepperoni rolls as good as they were in the early 2000s?
I have. They're having a few starting out pains, but great food overall. Southern themed.
We ordered a basket of biscuits as an appetizer, had the shrimp po-boy. Tasty.
We have been once also. The food was good, but it was horrifically slow. I had the po boy and my wife had the catfish and it was about an hour after we ordered before we got our food. They were busy, but not slammed by any means. The Google reviews seem to echo our experience.
We decided we will try again in a couple months to see if they get stuff figured out.
Cave Inn was open at least through the 89/90 school year.
And this thread can never die.
6 months later, still horrifically slow. There were maybe 20 people in there and it still took an hour. Food was average. If you want repeat business, you've got to hit it out of the park. Too many other options and eating out is expensive.
