Glory Days Pizza

Good pizza. I prefer the pan over the ny style. Reasonably priced. Always quick and very nice service.

Glory Days Pizza is my favorite pizza place in Lawrence. Their pizza is always consistent and it always tastes fresh. Also, the employees are super friendly. Although they may be expensive, they have great deals on certain nights of the week.

As a lifelong lover of pizza, i dare say i’ve eaten 3 – 5,000 pizzas in my life. I will try almost any pizza I can find… once. But if it’s not good, i will go back to my favorites. And i can honestly say, Glory Days Pizza is my current favorite, and definitely top 5 all-​time favorites… ANYWHERE!
It starts with the crust, the key to a great pizza or breadsticks in my book. They have several offerings. The «thin-​crust» pizza brings back old memories of early Pizza Hut, back before they went corporate. It is light, and has those wonderful crispy flakes that occasionally break off on a great thin and crispy pizza. The thick crust has a wonderful honey-​tinged flavor, and is always my friends’s favorite when they try it for the first time. (The cheese breadsticks are amazing as well).
The sauce is very flavorful…“zesty” is what i would call it… and quite perfect in my opinion… not too sweet, not too spicy… but the right amount of both.
The cheese blend is a theree cheese blend (a staple of Kansas pizza). Toppings generously delivered (another ks pizza staple). Delivery is prompt and pleasant. Service is good. My only complaint is that sometimes they dont cook it as long as i prefer, but that is rare, and the pizza tastes so dang good that i usually don’t even care. Try it. I’d be surprised if you didn’t love it!

Absolutely love this place, it’s not the greatest environment to sit down and eat, but that’s obvious when you see everyone walking in to get carry out. but this review is about their pizza, not so much their building.
The pizza is amazing! The online order process is smooth, could use a little updating, but did I mention that their pizza is AMAZING!!!

The pizza was not bad, but it wasn’t the best. I wouldn’t recommend the breadsticks. Overall, this place is pretty average, but the cost was higher than other places in town.

Have only lived in Lawrence a few months but have tried almost every pizza place. Love this pizza. The original crust is perfect, not too thick, not too thin. Veggies on the pizzas are fresh. Very generous with the cheese, brings back memories of Godfather’s in the 80’s. New York style is very good, not perfect NY pizza, but pretty darn good for Kansas. A little pricier than other options in town but you’re paying for a superior product. Love this place.

Consistently good pizza. It is baked in a pan so it has a crust similar to a pan pizza from Pizza Hut only thinner. They have toppings evenly spread and the pie is cut into equal pieces. Little things I know, but this shows quality control.

Excellent pizza. Thin wheat crust. Very good local pizza!!!

College towns are always affiliated with having a slew of pizza options at their disposal. More times than not, this doesn’t correlate to «good pizza». Yea, when I was 18 – 21 years old, pizza from a frozen box was the best thing since sliced bread. But, with age comes wisdom and a change of the taste buds. Lawrence like any other college town provides low quality pizza not much different from the frozen boxed pizza I mentioned. Don’t misunderstand me, the business owners of these pizza joints are quite intelligent. If you can provide a sub-​standard pizza at a low cost for students and still have killer profit margins, go for it. This is America Jack and I’m all about making a buck like the next guy. But… some of us hanker a decent slice of pizza outside the big city where most of the good quality pizza is located. This is where places like Glory days Pizza steps in.
From what I can gather, Glory Days Pizza is no national chain is locally owned and operated originally from Topeka Kansas. I eaten at their Topeka and Lawrence location many times. Consistency is the term here. They consistently provide a fresh tasting pizza that is quite delicious MOST of the time. True, they have their off days. But again, more times than not they cook a mean pizza. Many have compared one of their crust options to Pizza Huts pan pizza. Yes, this is true. But, Glory Days is usually not as greasy as Pizza Hut. Both places normally have a buttery crispy crust along with other varieties of crust. I actually enjoy their thin crust sometimes but always revert back to their thicker crust. The New York style crust is ok. But, it doesn’t reheat very well and I try to stay away from that.
Their toppings always taste freshly cut and not frozen. Not sure if all their ingredients are fresh or some are frozen. Glory Days has really good pizza sauce. Not too acidic. There are a ton of pizza options at Glory Days. It all depends on your favorite toppings, etc. The other menu options aren’t bad. Really like their meatball and Philly cheese steak sandwiches. The chicken wings were surprisingly good as well. Salads are run of the mill variety. Never had their dessert pizzas or cheese sticks.
Some have mentioned their prices are a little high. True in a sense. But, you are getting a much better pizza than your $ 5.99 variety that permeates Lawrence now. Trust me, spend the extra cash and judge for yourself. Look at their website. Usually advertise two pizza specials. Another good option is stop in on M-​F during lunch and get their slice specials. Super low prices on slices.
Dining in is my favorite thing to do at Glory Days. No frills pizza joint with self serve soda machines. Pizza is always crispy and fresh coming straight out the oven during dine-​in.
Both locations have good friendly people. Rock solid local pizza business that deserves major props on Unilocal.Bravo Glory Days.

This is a great local pizza place. It’s fresh and delicious. You won’t be sorry.

Best pizza in Lawrence! Love the thin crust pepperoni and mushroom. The cheeseburger pizza is also great! Never been disappointed in the several years I have bought from them.

Crust is similar to pizza hut pan pizza (the one that’s crunchy and kind of oily). The sausage was great, but the spinach was the frozen/​canned type and tasted freezer burned. The inside of the shop is very sterile and and generally unnoteworthy. I agree with the other reviewer that the pizza is a little more expensive than most, but generally I’d say it’s a decent value.
They have slices during the week (likely for the high school crowd across the street).
Easily the best pizza in west Lawrence, but you can’t beat Rudy’s downtown for taste and atmosphere.
