Papa Pete's Pizza

“Papa, Can you Hear Me”

Old school manners and excellent work ethics is what best defines my experience with this particular Papa Pete’s location. There were about seven young employees behind the counter making the food and tending the restaurant. They were getting along just great but unlike many other places, these guys remained focused. So, I found myself observing them, intensely. I didn’t notice any distracting behaviors, discussions, or annoyances (such as, when a customer is ignored till a [personal] phone call is finished). However, I did observe constant motion. Whoever wasn’t making the food was cleaning. Whoever wasn’t cleaning was making prep ingredients or packaging, etc. The customers, myself included were tended to immediately. Once my to-go order was placed, the wait was a little long but I’m figuring this was due to the volume of customers. And/or half the ovens not being used. This was explained to me that the extra ovens are used when it’s even busier. I found this explanation acceptable and responsible as well. It takes a lot of resources to heat these up for just temporary surges in business. In fact this momentary rush settled down after I placed my order. The pizza was excellent too. Their slate-type ovens give that crust that the conveyor-convection types just can’t.

My only criticisms? Offer Anchovies. And I wasn’t impressed with the to-go procedure for dine-in customers. That is, giving the customer tin foil and paper plates. However, the customer I talked to about this didn’t mind. So, if they’re cool with it, so am I. Maybe next time I’ll dine-in too.

This is as close to Shakey's Pizza (for those of you who remember!).

It's terrific. And despite the previous review, the restaurant is spotless.

True, they could update their game room.

But we go there for the pizza.

Gaming ...go to Seaside, Oregon.

Thin delicious crust. A wide variety of toppings.

A little expensive (as good pizzas usually are).

But I'd rather pay more for a great pizza, then less for a mediocre one.

the pizza is good but the service is rude. The game room hasnt been up dated since the 80s. If you get a pizza to go its ok, but staying there is anouther story. The tables arnt clean you have to clean your own just ask an employee for a towel.

Papa Pete's is an excellent place to go, whether for pizza to go, or to have a pizza birthday party.

Their pizza is the best tasting pizza in the NorthWest.
