5 Best Restaurants in Columbia, Missouri You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Columbia, Missouri — a city where red-brick streets hum with the footsteps of students and professors, where the scent of coffee and barbecue drifts through the air, where murals bloom on alley walls and the laughter of families echoes from porch to porch. Here, the city’s heart beats in the rhythm of Tigers games, late-night study sessions, and the easy camaraderie of neighbors at the farmers’ market. The architecture is a patchwork: stately columns, sun-warmed bungalows, and the ever-present sprawl of campus life.

Pizza restaurant has unique food storage solution noted in inspection

A local pizza restaurant is using a unique food storage solution and generally addressed critical violations immediately at a recent inspection. Routine restaurant inspections happen two to three times per year based on priority and location of Columbia restaurants, Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services previously has said. Follow-up inspections are scheduled if a critical violation is found. Restaurants typically may correct noncritical violations by the next routine inspection. Reports are from Nov. 3 through Monday, Nov. 9, unless otherwise noted. Reports may also include local bars and other locations where food may be served. Tomatoes handled without gloves, adulterated chicken and some potentially hazardous pizza sauce above 41 degrees all were discarded Nov. 4 at Southside Pizza and Pub , 3908 Peachtree Drive Suite H.
