Papa’s Pizza Parlor

Very overrated! Don’t know why they are so crowded. Pizza is so-​so. Ask for a knife to cut my pizza, they couldn’t find one. Gave me a plastic knife… Salad bar was terrible, out of many things, lettuce looked like the dregs of the bag. Not going there again. And, recommend any other pizza place than here. Oh yeah, and their prices are ridiculously high. Spend your money anywhere else but here.

We ordered two pizzas to be delivered, 7pm on Thursday night. The original quote was 75 minutes, far to long to wait for a pizza but they have a pizza which fit a food allergy. After waiting 1hour and thirty minutes they phoned to tell us they lost our pizza! They could remake it and have one to us in 15 minutes. Well, 15 minutes later they called to say sorry and let us know they were leaving, assuring us both pizzas were fresh and hot. So nearly two hours after ordering we received two cold pizzas. Definitely not worth the wait. Ever.

Horrible pizza, way expensive and tasted like cardboard. The owner is a cheap skate and only cares about how much money he has in his pocket. Never go here worst pizza in Eugene and worst owner. All you are paying for is the play place for your kid.

Papa’s is the In-​n-​Out burger of the Eugene Pizza scene. They are a fast food pizza place with a cult-​like following of people who likely have never had REAL pizza. Therefore they have developed a palate for Fast Food Pizza but don’t realize they are paying top dollar for mid range quality pizza.
I grew up in Eugene eating Papa’s Pizza every Friday night after a Sheldon Football game, or at Pietro’s after church on Sunday if we had a little extra money. I loved both because that’s what I grew up with and what I knew. When I order from Papa’s (and I still do), it is a nostalgic experience as much as a culinary one.
Since then I have traveled the entire country and had some amazing pizza in some really weird places… but now I know what pizza could be /​SHOULD be.
The biggest issue with Papa’s is that they are WAY overpriced. They are a Fast Food joint pricing themselves as a gourmet eatery. For the amount of money they charge there are many better options in Eugene/​Springfield: Mezza Luna, Pegasus, La Perla, Coburg Pizza Company– just to name a few.
And though I put all of the following into the same category, I would choose Papa’s over: Roaring Rapids, Pappy’s, Domino’s, Joey’s, Putters, Papa Murphy’s, Pizza Pipeline, Papa John’s, Little Caesar’s or Abby’s (in that order). Yes, Abby’s is THAT bad. I know that leaves out a lot of others, but most of them in this category (Fast Food Pizza) are not worth mentioning let alone trying.

The toppings are delicious. The problem I have is with the crust. While Crispy and smokey it is basically fluffier under salted saltine cracker. Crust aside (which is a pretty big deal) the beaster is a favorite. Also thr bachelor and margharitta. Main problem (besides the crust) is that prices are super high. I think they get away with it because of the safe well monitored playground for our kidlets. We only go while dining in because of this feature. In fact when we get delivery I tell my hubs «let’s not get papas because if I am going to pay that much I want the good stuff.“nuff said.

If you want your child to be assulted by other children, then this is the place for you! My 2 year old daughter was pushed and held down and jumped on in the ball pit by a 8 – 9 year old boy, as Im screaming for him to get off of her and pushing through the other children to save my daughter. The lady who is suppose to do her job and watch the kids was BULLSHITTING behind the counter with her friends and rolled her eyes and huffed when I told her what happened. We will not be returning!!!

This review is only pointed at the Papa’s Pizza website. I like the pizza, selections of toppings, or combinations that are a part of their menu. I rely on their delivers service, which is timely, courteous, and your order is correct, and I alway tip well.
My issue is with the sophomoric design of their website. Wading through inefficient drop down menus in order to help assist in deciding what to get is a waste of time. «Menu» should be part of the front page. What do you want? Pizza. What kind? Let me look at the menu.

This was my first time trying Papa’s pizza. We came in to support my sons school with a fundraiser program they had going. We called in an order of a large half combination half cheese pizza. We were told 20 min and when we arrived 25 later to pick it up, and the pizza was cold. We get home and take a look at the whole thing and the combination side looked like a bunch of canned mushrooms and olives just thrown on the pizza. And the cheese side looked like a bunch of random pieces of cheese pizza from the buffet line thrown in a box. The combination side tasted okay but the cheese side had some pieces that had crunchy crust that been sitting for god knows how long, and other parts tasted like previously reheated chewy crust. Overall this was the worst pizza I’ve had in a long time. Frozen included.

My review is for delivery, I have not been inside this place yet. I thought their prices were a little high, but I was pleased with the pizza. They even arrived a little faster than their estimate said they would. Considering that only one other pizza place will deliver to us, I am very happy we found some good pizza that will actually deliver. My one complaint is that my pizza was on the verge of being cold but I was so hungry I didn’t care. My husbands meat pizza was awesome. I did a create your own mini pizza and it was the perfect amount for me.
Overall I was happy with our experience and we will definitely order from Papa’s again.

My favorite pizza place in Eugene. I like the inexpensive pizza buffet on weekdays, too.

Wow, not the Papa’s I’m familiar with. Strange from the beginning. The person taking my order not only could not tear herself away from her conversation with another «employee,» it seemed like her goal was to complete the entire process: not saying hello may I help you, me explaining my order to her, processing my credit card, having me sign the receipt, circuling my number and blowing me off … all with out making eye contact and keeping up on her conversation with someone behind her. It was like an episode of Twilight Zone … Never look them in the eye … Zombies making pizza. When people don’t make eye contact they are hiding something.
And I’m paying $ 16 for a small … a SMALL pizza, you can’t make eye contact with me when I’m standing in front of you ordering? Seriously? What are you hiding/​doing you are ashamed of.
Welcome to the malaise of Socialism! Welcome to Eugene.
