“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.

sign says theyre open until 10 pm but I called at 9:40 for a to go pizza and they lied and said they were closed. Dont get me wrong the pizza is great, but the workers seem a little lazy. If they were closed why did they answer the phone!! LOL i give it 5 stars on the pizza and 1 star on the workers

I knew as soon as I got to the front door that this joint was going to be good. The sign on the door stated "No Cleats". Any parlor that is frequented by sports teams so much that you have a problem with studded shoes, must be good (although this IS Castle Rock, they may have been talking about caulk boots). The restaurant was bigger on the inside than I expected with a free standing fireplace just inside the door. There is a large gameroom in the back for kids young and old. Papa Pete's menu is broken into types of named pies as opposed to just toppings, which I found kind of nice. It gave me something to read while I was waiting on the staff to take my order. We ordered a basic combo and a couple of soft drinks. I really don't think that anyone behind the counter or in the open kitchen was over 18 which dosn't really matter other than when my name was called to recieve our order we ended up with an all meat pizza with raw bellpeppers on one half. Now, that didn't bother me very muc

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.
