This is one of our favorite tasting pizzas around around. Unfortunately when we were there last Sunday the woman working the register and taking orders was very rude to our whole party. When we asked if we could have our table cleaned they said they would get to it as soon as they could. She was very much a control freak that kept reciting all the rules and had no conscience about customer service. We were made to feel like we were a bother. When I ordered a picture of beer at 1st because we were waiting for our whole party to arrive she snipped at me that she could not serve me a whole picture of beer unless there was more than one person and I told her my people sitting over there at the table. She then ran over there to look like I was lying. Then when the rest of our party arrived we went to the drink counter to get some other beverages she turned our party away beacause they were too busy. She told us that we had to go wait in the long pizza line even though that was the drink ordering counter but then 2 minutes later they were serving someone else at the drink counter. That woman is going to chase off customers by making them feel like they are an inconvenience and trying to be a control freak about everything.

The pizza here is a 5. The 4 is for the atmosphere and price. The inside of the place is nice and comfy, but the 3 times that I have been here, they are blasting edgy music. You can look around and see anyone over 40 cringing to it. I am use to loud music and grew up with it, but it is a drag for back ground music when trying to eat a delicious pizza. Also we just paid $27 for a 2 topping large pizza, which is on the high end of price. But they do have the best home-made pizza in town at this point, minus a $7 Medium Domino Deep Dish Pizza with 2 toppings. This place is great for college kids and as an occasional treat no doubt...and I hope they thrive in this tough town to have a business...

I have been dreaming of the day I'd get to eat one of these amazing pizza's since I graduated. This was my go-to spot for whatever occasion, back in the day when I lived in Corvallis. So I trekked my way down to this lil ol' college town just to grab a slice. And ended up with a whole pizza.I ordered a large pepperoni with half pineapple and half jalapenos, nothin' fancy. I dined in instead of taking out, and it was a Saturday evening so I figured I'd be waiting a while. I'm super glad I got a Rose Wine from Bold Leaf (by Two Towns Ciderhouse) to help alleviate my hunger. After 35 minutes, my pizza came out hot and ready for me to devour. I wish I could say it was as delish as I remembered, but alas I had to knock it down a star because it was waaayyyy overbaked. The outer crust was super crunchy, almost inedible. What wasn't overcooked was just as fabulous as I remembered it. Not overly greasy. I did find the addition of jalapenos to be very limited - they added way more pineapple than that. Easy fix. I just used a lot more crushed pepper flakes than I liked. Overall, I enjoyed my pizza. I was very happy with all the leftovers I walked out with. :)

Subtracted a star because they are closed Monday and Tuesday, even though everything else downtown is back to full speed after covid. And today the open sign was on - when they were closed. Come on guys!Been coming here for ages. Pizza is unique crust, good toppings, and doesn't disappoint. You can get slices anytime of day. Salads could be improved by switching to spring mix, as opposed to romaine. Just wish the Portland place with the same name (not really affiliated anymore) would get their act together. At last check they were still in the dark stages of covid.

The staff were friendly and the environment was cozy.We ordered 3 individual slices of pizza and the crust was overbake and hard. We let the staff know and they remade the slices. When we got the new slices the crust was overbaked and hard, so we just ate them. I myself did not eat the crust. I got a fork and ate the ingredients on the top and that part was good. On our way out my son's friend also complained about his pizza.I hope they figure out the issue with baking the pizzas because I've never had bad pizza before until now.

Great local pizza place. Been going there for years. They have 2 locations and the downtown location has a full bar and rooftop seating.

Iconic Corvallis pizza place. Good salad. Pizzas big and cheesy

We've been in twice now that my son is a Beaver. Both times there pizza was great and the service was friendly and food came out fast (remember they're making it fresh for you, this isn't fast food pizza). Can't wait for clear days to sit on the balcony again

Amazing pizza with crust done right. Veg like tomatoes, cilantro tasted like garden fresh.

We've been going to American dream for 20 years, can never get enough! Amazing pizza...we recommend the Edward Abbey and the Bent!
