Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Best pizza in Jackson. Everything on the menu is delicious.

This is my favorite pizza place for non-traditional Neopolitan/D.O.C. pizza I have ever eaten at, in the entire USA. Period. The gloriously generous amount of toppings, the piled on cheese, the variety, the friendly staff; everything about this place and the pizza are phenomenal. I just love the pan-finished crust. I didn't notice it first few times but my most recent visit it was very evident on the double cheeseburger pizza. It's now my mission to try all the different kinds of pizzas they offer at least once. My current favorite: the curry chicken pizza. If pizza shack had a location closer to me (Clinton), I would need a coronary because I would go like every day. I can't resist!

Great location and really good salads and pizza. I had a customer service issue several years ago and the owner went out of his way to make it right. Everything is made to order and tasty. Good selection of beer too.

How do I not have a review already for Pizza Shack??!! Probably my favorite pizza in the Jackson area. Saying that, I highly recommend the Turkey Club and Chicken Alfredo pizzas........and the Sloppy Joe. Pizza Shack does it all well. Great atmosphere, great service and don't forget the newer location off of Old Canton Road - it's just as good and great for a bigger group. They also have a great selection of beer and bottled soft drinks that you can't find everywhere.

Really good pizza. Local place so it does cost more than a chain place would. However they also have better quality ingredients than chain places. The carnivore is a meat lovers dream. Another must get is the pulled pork. It has a tangy BBQ sauce and some cheddar mixed with the mozzarella. Can take a while during rush hour meal times.
(4)Maria W.
Good pizzas, but too much cheese and not really enough flavors. My dad loves this joint and glad Jackson has upgraded. I cannot stand that the staff loves to stare its quite annoying. Eating outside is enjoying, but they don't have a separate smoking and non-smoking area. I don't like the smelling smoke when I eat, ewww. Anyways, expensive beer, and ok pizzas. I've tasted better, but honestly I had to give it to Jackson for FINALLY DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!! I would recommend.
(3)Amy L.
Ordered a couple of pizzas to go today. Even gave them the order in handwritten form. Neither pizza turned out right and there wasn't another person in the place. This is like the third time this location has screwed up a simple order. The Colonial Mart location never has an issue getting the order right.

When I was working downtown, I would go here for lunch. I would usually get the classic italian sub sandwhich or the chef salads, both were pretty tasty. I would never give the pizza a try, due to two things, the price or didn't have the taste for pizza. Well one day, me and the better half went to the Jackson Free Press' - Best of Jackson Award show and sampled some of the grub. Pizza Shack had a booth set up and were giving away samples of their pizzas. I tried the Cajun Joe, which is made up of nothing but goodness! I know it had andoulie sausage, but I was too busy salivating over how damn good the pizza was. They load you down with toppings and the cheese, sauces are fresh. We ordered the large supreme and it was worth the $19. We couldn't even finish the thing. I took pictures of the large supreme we ordered, god I wish these guys delivered! Anywho, check'em out and see what they have to offer for yourself. I doubt you will be disappointed.
(4)Russ M.
GREAT PIZZA! Suggested by me brother and SIL, Pizza Shack is the real deal Pizza Place. Local, one of a kind, small with a funky decor including some cool original art. But, the star is the food! Lots of choices for specialty Pizzas. We had the supreme which was absolutely yummy. Like other Yelpers have described, lots of toppings. Brother and SIL had a shrimp alfredo pizza, it too was delicious. I was impressed that the shrimp were not overcooked. Also, the pizzas are bigger than most. The "medium" was the size of a large at many pizza places. I just wish they would open a branch in Tuscaloosa.

Man this place has some solid pizza. I had missed you Pizza Shack. One thing to be said about Jackson, MS is definitely the awesome food. This spot is amongst those. You can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. Or even the amazing cheese sticks with pepperoni and jalapeno (or whatever floats your boat toppings wise) makes for a pretty great meal. The pizza is crisp at first bite but nicely soft on the inside. They don't play around on the toppings either. You probably won't need as much as you think. I personally love the BBQ chicken. Yum. Also love that they moved down by Fenian's. Still walkable for Belhaven folks, but now it is easy and convenient to grab a bite and then grab a beer. Granted, the patio area isn't quite as awesome as it was at the State street location, but what can ya do. And it is a bit of a dive - be aware if that isn't your deal. For a more upscale spot try Sal and Mookies. But Pizza Shack is great value for the money. YUM! I will see you next St Paddy's Day!

Great pizza. Pizza is on my top ten list of foods. Anywhere I go I'm sure to try the local pizza. As someone else stated...I don't think I've had a heavier pizza! Thing must have weighed 10 pounds. Although I love extra cheese, I think one can make do with regular cheese on this bad boy!
(4)Louis F.
I really want to love this place (everyone else does), but it is very hit or miss. I've discovered the best chance for delicious success is to order a small pizza, otherwise they end up a sloppy, soggy, greasy mess. But when they are good, they are very good. Nothing bad to say about the service, or staff. It is a really friendly, local place, and I love their new location on Fortification (and that they took over a previously unoccupied eyesore). Small Buffalo Ranch Chicken is my favorite menu item
(3)Preston M.
Seriously the best pizza in Jackson. It's not Chicago deep dish but it does not matter. They overload the toppings on their pizzas and that's a GOOD thing in my book. The sauce is usually very good. Usually. Nice variety of beers on tap and bottled. Plus a nice patio area. Definitely check this place out if you like pizza!
(5)Jennifer C.
Good pizza, ok wings, GREAT price. There's nothing special about the crust or the toppings, but it's a great local joint and has really good prices compared to sal and mookie's down the street . easy to order out. Pizza to try: Greek with chicken and/or gyro meat, make sure to ask for all the toppings including artichoke, onions and feta cheese BBQ Chicken pizza - my friends love this pizza Cheese sticks -really good, my favorite thing to order here. so cheezy and perfect. My husband says the wings are ok, they are not very crispy. plus down the street there's a wing place called wingstop now that has better wings that are crispier and offers good french fries.
(3)Jakob c.
The BBQ chicken pizza is so good I would eat it off of Robin Williams' hairy chest. I moved from Jackson to Austin, TX five years ago and I always have to munch out here on visits. When I eat pizza in Austin, I close my eyes and try to pretend it's Pizza Shack. The pizza eats like a d@mn lasagna there are so many toppings. I'd eat one with horse meat on it if it came from their oven. I want to punch myself in the face right now I want one so bad. Mmmm. Pizza Shack. Melty cheese everywhere.
(5)Toni F.
The employees at Pizza Shack are super nice! Even when you screw up and call your order into the wrong store. Sorry bout that. Thanks for being cool about it. I love the classic Pepperoni. Its stacked high with toppings. The Margarita is my next favorite and my husband loves the Cheeseburger. All of the pizzas are great!!!
(5)Trey F.
After traveling all over for the past 3 years. There is still no better pizza in my opinion.
(5)Kristin B.
I'm a veggy pizza fan, tried and true, but I'd have to say that Pizza Shack always delivers a slightly soggy crust on the veggy pizzas (likely to avoid burning the more delicate toppings.) Instead, try the carnivorous types - they are always crisp and delicious. I like grabbing their turkey club sandwich at lunch time - I swear the put a whole turkey between two slices!
(3)Russ F.
I ate there for the first time last week and had the Carnivore. Excellent Pizza
(5)Chris and Tami T.
So we had some Pizza Shack because we were hungry and it was late. OK, look. Chris has told me so many stories about Pizza Man in Covington, LA that any restaurant that starts with PIZZA and ends with either a locale or an animate noun I have to enjoy with a great deal of pause because allegedly Pizza Man is the best in the world and we won't go there until TOMORROW so it's really hard for me to concentrate, clearly. I think the named locale of this pizza was appropriate. It's pretty shacky pizza. It's a good place to go if there is no other shelter and it's cold/raining. But you probably don't want to have a wedding there. BTW I am marrying pizza man.
(2)Ryan K.
The Pizza Shack blew me away. For my first visit, I had simply "heard" it was good. Stepping in, I took a look at the menu, and chose a personal pizza. Not knowing those were really pretty big, I got the garlic cheese sticks to go along with it. Long story short, for 6 dollars and change I got a whole pizza pan worth of cheesy breadsticks. I ate like a pizza king for 3 days. Recommended: Chicken Curry delight, The Greek.
(5)Ian M.
The pizza is incredible. Thick and loaded with toppings the small is plenty for a normal adult. The price seems a little steep for a small pizza but then you get it and realize it's the weight not the diameter. The restaurant area could use a little work, maybe some tile or a coat of floor paint. And hot? Yes hot. A little A/C would be nice. It is Mississippi after all. Very close to Finians Pub so if you have a teeny too many marteenys grab a slice while you wait for your cab.
(5)Ashley T.
This is the first time I've had The Pizza Shack. I ate at the Byram location and while the food was delish, the associate working the counter had literally the worst attitude ever. I understand you may not like selling your labor to work in the food industry or retail, but if you're going to be there try to, you know, BE THERE. Anyway, I ordered the Cajun Joe which consist of spicy sausage, chicken, cajun marinara sauce, green and red peppers, and onions. I also added banana peppers and jalapenos to mine to spice it up a bit more. It was perfect as far as handmade pizza is concerned. And considering I ordered a small (4 slices) and two slices of it filled me up, I'd say it's a pretty good eat. Overall the pizza was good and maybe the server was having a bad day. Either way, I'll definitely be visiting again.
(4)Sarah T.
I love the pizza here. You can't really go wrong, even if you're lactose intolerant like me! The quality of the pizza and sauce could really stand alone. It's a quirky little place with some bangin' pizza to match. Definitely try this place out!
(5)Blue A.
Can I just say this was TOP 5 best things I have ever ate. In the history of everdom! Seriously, I pinky promise...this was one of the MOST DELICIOUS THINGS I HAVE EVER ATE. WOW! First off - this place is super casual. It's the type of place I'd come to after a night of drinking (not even sure if they are open late)...it's got a large menu...and there was a ton of movement in here around lunch time. Mainly takeout, but some dine in tables as well. All different kind of folks - from young to elderly, all races, all genders. Pizza Shack's demographics are simple: EVERYONE that loves delicious, affordable grub. I got 6 wings...because I hadn't had wings in a long time. I got the mild sauce. And yes, they were delicious. They didn't ask me what kind of sauce I wanted, and they just brought Ranch. That's cool...I really wanted bleu cheese, but the ranch worked out great. While the wings were great - they weren't TOP 5 of all time worthy. No, no. They were SOLID (as in...GET THEM!) but the real start of the show was: DOUBLE.CHEESEBURGER.PIZZA WHOA. Double ground beef - which was in perfect little meat balls. Seasoned exceptionally and stacked on there generously. A sweet tomato sauce unlike any I have ever had. Chopped up pickles and onions mixed in with ooey, gooey American cheese. Then the most heavenly thing ever: a top crust of crispy,melty cheddar cheese...all the way to the edge (admit it those little burnt cheese ends are THE BEST). Seriously, this was incredible. Thin crust, but the toppings are so thick this is more like a deep dish pizza. The small was too much for me to eat - I left half of it. I would of taken them home, but I don't think eating it cold would do it justice. Awesome lunch - worthy of a nap afterwards. Will be back to try something else when I am in town!
(5)Donna N.
My pizza cost me my first born child, but it was worth it. I ordered a veggie pizza with added pepperoni and it cost me $20 for eight slices. But you know what? It was worth every penny! My pizza was so heavy and loaded with toppings that I had to keep a tight grip on the box. It wasn't too doughy and it was wasn't too crispy. It was just right. This will be one of my go to places when I return to visit later in the year.
(5)Rachel P.
I am not kidding when I say I judge the people I meet in Jackson by whether or not Pizza Shack is their absolute favorite pizza place. Not only in Jackson, but in the WORLD. Okay, I'm being a little hyperbolic but Pizza Shack is seriously so legit, you guys. I can't imagine getting pizza anywhere else in town. First of all, the pizzas are BIG. They boast that they are "Mississippi Style," rather than New York or Chicago style, and let me tell you-- I think "Mississippi Style" must be my favorite style. The toppings and cheese are piled on, so be prepared. When you order, go for one of their specialties rather than a basic cheese or pepperoni and be ready for a very special experience. I have tried all of their pizzas (wow, that's quite a feat to admit to) and I don't have a negative thing to say about any of them. My favorites include the chicken alfredo, the chicken curry delight, the thai chicken, and the cajun joe. Even their "traditional" pizzas, like the Hawaiin or the vegetarian, are uniquely and excellently prepared. The ingredients are quality, the crust is thick and flavorful, everything is fantastic. They've also got a small but respectable selection of beers both on tap and by the bottle available for purchase. Their fountain drinks are Pepsi products. The interior of the restaurant is modest at best. I mean, it's called Pizza *Shack*, y'all. There are picnic tables outside, though, and that's a really fun place to sit and enjoy some pizza with pals when the weather's nice. Pizza Shack is located right in between Kat's liquor store and Fenian's pub, so it's the perfect beginning to any fun night you've got planned. Pizza Shack is not your cheapest option, but it's by far the smartest decision you could make this week. It's perfectly reasonably priced-- in fact, it's a downright steal when you realize how MUCH food you're getting for your buck. I literally daydream about this place, and it's probably the restaurant I frequent more than any other place in the Jackson Metro Area. Go to Pizza Shack RIGHT NOW and experience it for yourself!
(5)William H.
Holly Molly is all I can say. This place has ruined it for me now pizza anywhere is just OK!! The carnivore is a must if you like sausage. You have to go.
(5)Gary J.
Look nowhere else for pizza in the Metro Jackson Area- or southeastern United States for that matter. This pizza "shack" is more of a Meccha for those religiously devoted to fantastic pizza. It would by more appropriately called "Mystic Pizza." The Julia Roberts' romantic classic movie title squandered this name which should have been reserved for this establishment. This restaurant did not just leave me full, it left me spell-binded. It now has a mystical hold over my tastebuds and summons my inner pizza loving spirit. I have read the complaints below about the price. These commentaries overlook the fact that two slices of this pizza will feed even the beefiest of our friends. Essentially, yes--it is going to cost you. However, you will be rewarded two-fold for your dollar. Trust me. Bite in. Absorb it. No need to abandon your loyalties to the commercialized big pizza chains. One bite of this mystic pizza and you will forsake all of these devotions. Embrace the mystic hold this round shrine of rich cheese and abundant protein will have over you.

This place is either closed or it has moved. We were driving through Jackson on a road trip and were disappointed that the restaurant wasn't there.

Preeety Damn Delicious Pizza. Ordered the chicken curry pizza w/ pineapples w/ my co workers and I think we stopped mid convo just to gobble up every last peice. And Thursdays are 3$ pitcher of bud/bud light. Get a pizza, get a pitcher, sit on the patio, enjoy :)
(4)Ron M.
By far the best pizza in Jackson! Barbeque chicken is my personal favorite, but I really don't think you can go wrong in choosing a pie. The "shack" definitely doesn't provide the same atmosphere as the popular Sal and Mookie, but I suppose that is part of its charm. I always seem to lean towards hole-in the-wall local favorites over the grander-scale tourist traps. Their awesome patio feels far more intimate than the crowded booths and tables at most places. This restaurant is a prime example of why it always helps to ask around (and yelp!) instead of settling for mediocrity.
(5)Alan S.
Awesome pizza and wings, good price. They have a large selection of specialty pizzas and wing flavors, the Greek being my favorite pizza. They load up on the toppings and serve a variety of beer as well; both can be enjoyed outside on the patio. I strongly recommend the pizza rather than one of their subs. Also, when it's busy, do not expect quick service. It's perfect if you want take out or if you just want to chill and drink a few beers while waiting.
(4)Su B.
Best pizza in town! Need a safer location, but amazing pizza!!!
(5)Darius M.
Hands down the best pizza in Jackson. I usually get the Carnivore or BBQ Chicken w/ Bacon Pizza. The staff is friendly and the service is good. My only gripe would be that the prices are getting a little high; but it's not bad for an every now and then thing.
(4)Gary A.
The pizza is top notch, not the average run of the mill pizza. The atmosphere is a "DIVE" but in a good way, the way you'd expect a pizza-joint to be. The have some really great topping combinations!
(5)Big C.
This joint is THE BUSINESS! Cold beer, delicious pizza (get the Thai Chicken) and a hole in the wall feel with the option of outdoor dining on a nice day. And rumor has it they're opening a location up in Colonial Mart.
(4)Anna W.
Nice little pizza dive in the Belhaven area. The pizza is so amazing, and it is especially fun to go when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. Last time I got Bar-b-que chicken pizza and got extra ranch sauce--- it did not disappoint. This is especially a great place to eat if you live in Belhaven because you can just walk there!
(4)Molly G.
Super greasy pizza. I prefer Sal and Mookies or Basil's in Fondren (although Basil's isn't open often).
(2)Bradley A.
The Carnivore is a great name for a meat lovers pizza. And I love the pizza places that just pile on the extra ingredients instead of spreading them out--and this place piles them on. There specialty pizzas are loaded down with ingredients. The supreme (sub jalapenos for bell peppers) was great as well. Solid pizza place.
(5)Danielle H.
I have eaten pizza all over this fair country, from the west coast to the east, and the pizza from Pizza Shack is some of the best I've had. I ordered the deep dish/pan pizza style, with cheese and green olives, and I was nothing but impressed! The crust was that perfect burnt-cheese-crunchy style, the green olives were on-point and the cheese was of high quality. My boyfriend and I were starving and really just wanted pizza close to our hotel, but we ended up really liking Pizza Shack and will definitely eat here again if we ever return to Jackson!
(5)K H.
Recently heard that they had opened a location in Byram. Since the old location on Fortification was so good, I thought that location would be also. A huge disappointment. Terribly slow service. There were not many others dining in but seemed there were a good number of care outs. The employees seemed to be talking among themselves and not taking care of business.The diet Coke spigot was empty and the diet dr pepper spigot leaked all over my hand. The pizza was not good. There was almost no sauce and the meats were stacked up. just a big glob of cheese and meat. It just was not appetizing. I won't be going back to the Byram location-- a major disappointment!
(1)Giovanna F.
We got our pizza to go. I didn't get the oozing cheese as others had mentioned. The pizza layers were a bit odd for me. Crust, sauce, toppings, cheese, then more toppings. Almost too much toppings. I guess I am just a pizza purist. I like keeping my pizza simple (thin crust, sauce, cheese and a few toppings). If i ordered the thin crust it probably would've just collapsed in my hands. That's what this pizza did. I picked it up and all the toppings slid off. The sauce wasn't anything special. The sauce and cheese make a pizza. I didn't get that here. It was all about packing on the toppings. It looks good in photos but eating it is another story. My mother in law had a the Asian chicken salad. It was just plain lettuce, canned chicken, a few sesame seeds, red peppers and crunchy things. Don't order salad here either. I was surprised that they even had Asian chicken salad on the menu. Doesn't really go with Italian.

There are picnic tables outside, though, and that's a really fun place to sit and enjoy some pizza with pals when the weather's nice. Pizza Shack is located right in between Kat's liquor store and Fenian's pub, so it's the perfect beginning to any fun night you've got planned. Pizza Shack is not your cheapest option, but it's by far the smartest decision you could make this week. It's perfectly reasonably priced-- in fact, it's a downright steal when you realize how MUCH food you're getting for your buck. I literally daydream about this place, and it's probably the restaurant I frequent more than any other place in the Jackson Metro Area. Go to Pizza Shack RIGHT NOW and experience it for yourself!

Holly Molly is all I can say. This place has ruined it for me now pizza anywhere is just OK!! The carnivore is a must if you like sausage. You have to go.

Look nowhere else for pizza in the Metro Jackson Area- or southeastern United States for that matter. This pizza "shack" is more of a Meccha for those religiously devoted to fantastic pizza. It would by more appropriately called "Mystic Pizza." The Julia Roberts' romantic classic movie title squandered this name which should have been reserved for this establishment. This restaurant did not just leave me full, it left me spell-binded. It now has a mystical hold over my tastebuds and summons my inner pizza loving spirit. I have read the complaints below about the price. These commentaries overlook the fact that two slices of this pizza will feed even the beefiest of our friends. Essentially, yes--it is going to cost you. However, you will be rewarded two-fold for your dollar. Trust me. Bite in. Absorb it. No need to abandon your loyalties to the commercialized big pizza chains. One bite of this mystic pizza and you will forsake all of these devotions. Embrace the mystic hold this round shrine of rich cheese and abundant protein will have over you.

We got our pizza to go. I didn't get the oozing cheese as others had mentioned. The pizza layers were a bit odd for me. Crust, sauce, toppings, cheese, then more toppings. Almost too much toppings. I guess I am just a pizza purist. I like keeping my pizza simple (thin crust, sauce, cheese and a few toppings). If i ordered the thin crust it probably would've just collapsed in my hands. That's what this pizza did. I picked it up and all the toppings slid off. The sauce wasn't anything special. The sauce and cheese make a pizza. I didn't get that here. It was all about packing on the toppings. It looks good in photos but eating it is another story. My mother in law had a the Asian chicken salad. It was just plain lettuce, canned chicken, a few sesame seeds, red peppers and crunchy things. Don't order salad here either. I was surprised that they even had Asian chicken salad on the menu. Doesn't really go with Italian.

This is my favorite pizza place for non-traditional Neopolitan/D.O.C. pizza I have ever eaten at, in the entire USA. Period. The gloriously generous amount of toppings, the piled on cheese, the variety, the friendly staff; everything about this place and the pizza are phenomenal. I just love the pan-finished crust. I didn't notice it first few times but my most recent visit it was very evident on the double cheeseburger pizza. It's now my mission to try all the different kinds of pizzas they offer at least once. My current favorite: the curry chicken pizza. If pizza shack had a location closer to me (Clinton), I would need a coronary because I would go like every day. I can't resist!

Great location and really good salads and pizza. I had a customer service issue several years ago and the owner went out of his way to make it right. Everything is made to order and tasty. Good selection of beer too.

How do I not have a review already for Pizza Shack??!! Probably my favorite pizza in the Jackson area. Saying that, I highly recommend the Turkey Club and Chicken Alfredo pizzas........and the Sloppy Joe. Pizza Shack does it all well. Great atmosphere, great service and don't forget the newer location off of Old Canton Road - it's just as good and great for a bigger group. They also have a great selection of beer and bottled soft drinks that you can't find everywhere.

Really good pizza. Local place so it does cost more than a chain place would. However they also have better quality ingredients than chain places. The carnivore is a meat lovers dream. Another must get is the pulled pork. It has a tangy BBQ sauce and some cheddar mixed with the mozzarella. Can take a while during rush hour meal times.

Good pizzas, but too much cheese and not really enough flavors. My dad loves this joint and glad Jackson has upgraded. I cannot stand that the staff loves to stare its quite annoying. Eating outside is enjoying, but they don't have a separate smoking and non-smoking area. I don't like the smelling smoke when I eat, ewww. Anyways, expensive beer, and ok pizzas. I've tasted better, but honestly I had to give it to Jackson for FINALLY DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!! I would recommend.

Best pizza in Jackson. Everything on the menu is delicious.
(5)Amy L.
Ordered a couple of pizzas to go today. Even gave them the order in handwritten form. Neither pizza turned out right and there wasn't another person in the place. This is like the third time this location has screwed up a simple order. The Colonial Mart location never has an issue getting the order right.

When I was working downtown, I would go here for lunch. I would usually get the classic italian sub sandwhich or the chef salads, both were pretty tasty. I would never give the pizza a try, due to two things, the price or didn't have the taste for pizza. Well one day, me and the better half went to the Jackson Free Press' - Best of Jackson Award show and sampled some of the grub. Pizza Shack had a booth set up and were giving away samples of their pizzas. I tried the Cajun Joe, which is made up of nothing but goodness! I know it had andoulie sausage, but I was too busy salivating over how damn good the pizza was. They load you down with toppings and the cheese, sauces are fresh. We ordered the large supreme and it was worth the $19. We couldn't even finish the thing. I took pictures of the large supreme we ordered, god I wish these guys delivered! Anywho, check'em out and see what they have to offer for yourself. I doubt you will be disappointed.

GREAT PIZZA! Suggested by me brother and SIL, Pizza Shack is the real deal Pizza Place. Local, one of a kind, small with a funky decor including some cool original art. But, the star is the food! Lots of choices for specialty Pizzas. We had the supreme which was absolutely yummy. Like other Yelpers have described, lots of toppings. Brother and SIL had a shrimp alfredo pizza, it too was delicious. I was impressed that the shrimp were not overcooked. Also, the pizzas are bigger than most. The "medium" was the size of a large at many pizza places. I just wish they would open a branch in Tuscaloosa.

Man this place has some solid pizza. I had missed you Pizza Shack. One thing to be said about Jackson, MS is definitely the awesome food. This spot is amongst those. You can't go wrong with any of the pizzas. Or even the amazing cheese sticks with pepperoni and jalapeno (or whatever floats your boat toppings wise) makes for a pretty great meal. The pizza is crisp at first bite but nicely soft on the inside. They don't play around on the toppings either. You probably won't need as much as you think. I personally love the BBQ chicken. Yum. Also love that they moved down by Fenian's. Still walkable for Belhaven folks, but now it is easy and convenient to grab a bite and then grab a beer. Granted, the patio area isn't quite as awesome as it was at the State street location, but what can ya do. And it is a bit of a dive - be aware if that isn't your deal. For a more upscale spot try Sal and Mookies. But Pizza Shack is great value for the money. YUM! I will see you next St Paddy's Day!

Great pizza. Pizza is on my top ten list of foods. Anywhere I go I'm sure to try the local pizza. As someone else stated...I don't think I've had a heavier pizza! Thing must have weighed 10 pounds. Although I love extra cheese, I think one can make do with regular cheese on this bad boy!
(4)Louis F.
I really want to love this place (everyone else does), but it is very hit or miss. I've discovered the best chance for delicious success is to order a small pizza, otherwise they end up a sloppy, soggy, greasy mess. But when they are good, they are very good. Nothing bad to say about the service, or staff. It is a really friendly, local place, and I love their new location on Fortification (and that they took over a previously unoccupied eyesore). Small Buffalo Ranch Chicken is my favorite menu item
(3)Preston M.
Seriously the best pizza in Jackson. It's not Chicago deep dish but it does not matter. They overload the toppings on their pizzas and that's a GOOD thing in my book. The sauce is usually very good. Usually. Nice variety of beers on tap and bottled. Plus a nice patio area. Definitely check this place out if you like pizza!
(5)Jennifer C.
Good pizza, ok wings, GREAT price. There's nothing special about the crust or the toppings, but it's a great local joint and has really good prices compared to sal and mookie's down the street . easy to order out. Pizza to try: Greek with chicken and/or gyro meat, make sure to ask for all the toppings including artichoke, onions and feta cheese BBQ Chicken pizza - my friends love this pizza Cheese sticks -really good, my favorite thing to order here. so cheezy and perfect. My husband says the wings are ok, they are not very crispy. plus down the street there's a wing place called wingstop now that has better wings that are crispier and offers good french fries.

The BBQ chicken pizza is so good I would eat it off of Robin Williams' hairy chest. I moved from Jackson to Austin, TX five years ago and I always have to munch out here on visits. When I eat pizza in Austin, I close my eyes and try to pretend it's Pizza Shack. The pizza eats like a d@mn lasagna there are so many toppings. I'd eat one with horse meat on it if it came from their oven. I want to punch myself in the face right now I want one so bad. Mmmm. Pizza Shack. Melty cheese everywhere.
(5)Toni F.
The employees at Pizza Shack are super nice! Even when you screw up and call your order into the wrong store. Sorry bout that. Thanks for being cool about it. I love the classic Pepperoni. Its stacked high with toppings. The Margarita is my next favorite and my husband loves the Cheeseburger. All of the pizzas are great!!!

After traveling all over for the past 3 years. There is still no better pizza in my opinion.

I'm a veggy pizza fan, tried and true, but I'd have to say that Pizza Shack always delivers a slightly soggy crust on the veggy pizzas (likely to avoid burning the more delicate toppings.) Instead, try the carnivorous types - they are always crisp and delicious. I like grabbing their turkey club sandwich at lunch time - I swear the put a whole turkey between two slices!
(3)Russ F.
I ate there for the first time last week and had the Carnivore. Excellent Pizza
(5)Chris and Tami T.
So we had some Pizza Shack because we were hungry and it was late. OK, look. Chris has told me so many stories about Pizza Man in Covington, LA that any restaurant that starts with PIZZA and ends with either a locale or an animate noun I have to enjoy with a great deal of pause because allegedly Pizza Man is the best in the world and we won't go there until TOMORROW so it's really hard for me to concentrate, clearly. I think the named locale of this pizza was appropriate. It's pretty shacky pizza. It's a good place to go if there is no other shelter and it's cold/raining. But you probably don't want to have a wedding there. BTW I am marrying pizza man.
(2)Darius M.
Hands down the best pizza in Jackson. I usually get the Carnivore or BBQ Chicken w/ Bacon Pizza. The staff is friendly and the service is good. My only gripe would be that the prices are getting a little high; but it's not bad for an every now and then thing.
(4)Liz R.
This place is either closed or it has moved. We were driving through Jackson on a road trip and were disappointed that the restaurant wasn't there.

Preeety Damn Delicious Pizza. Ordered the chicken curry pizza w/ pineapples w/ my co workers and I think we stopped mid convo just to gobble up every last peice. And Thursdays are 3$ pitcher of bud/bud light. Get a pizza, get a pitcher, sit on the patio, enjoy :)
(4)Ron M.
By far the best pizza in Jackson! Barbeque chicken is my personal favorite, but I really don't think you can go wrong in choosing a pie. The "shack" definitely doesn't provide the same atmosphere as the popular Sal and Mookie, but I suppose that is part of its charm. I always seem to lean towards hole-in the-wall local favorites over the grander-scale tourist traps. Their awesome patio feels far more intimate than the crowded booths and tables at most places. This restaurant is a prime example of why it always helps to ask around (and yelp!) instead of settling for mediocrity.
(5)Alan S.
Awesome pizza and wings, good price. They have a large selection of specialty pizzas and wing flavors, the Greek being my favorite pizza. They load up on the toppings and serve a variety of beer as well; both can be enjoyed outside on the patio. I strongly recommend the pizza rather than one of their subs. Also, when it's busy, do not expect quick service. It's perfect if you want take out or if you just want to chill and drink a few beers while waiting.
(4)Su B.
Best pizza in town! Need a safer location, but amazing pizza!!!
(5)Gary A.
The pizza is top notch, not the average run of the mill pizza. The atmosphere is a "DIVE" but in a good way, the way you'd expect a pizza-joint to be. The have some really great topping combinations!
(5)Big C.
This joint is THE BUSINESS! Cold beer, delicious pizza (get the Thai Chicken) and a hole in the wall feel with the option of outdoor dining on a nice day. And rumor has it they're opening a location up in Colonial Mart.
