Papa's Pizza Parlor

This pizza made me so sad. I use to love this place, but they've gone down hill. My roommate and I admittedly remembered our high school cafeteria when we took a bite. Plus, I order mushrooms on top and only found 3 1/2 pieces. Darn.

We really like the buffet that is available during the week. There is a salad bar, pizza and soft drinks included in the buffet. The pizza is always yummy and there is always a large variety which we love! Also the staff is always friendly and helpful!!

Well, the pizza and salad buffets offer plenty of food. That is the good part. Pizza is decent although the options are sort of limited, and the salad bar is good. But, if you don't have kids, not sure this is a place to go to. Lots of kids here because there is a giant play area in the back. And the play area is nuts. Parents aren't supervising their kids at all. An employee asked me to keep an eye on the carousel because a kid had gotten stuck on it earlier. WTH? It is not my job to look after other people's kids. Remove the carousel or add a better system for supervision. View menu

We sometimes get take-out here, once we had delivery. We have never dined-in. I would say at casual glance that there is ample space for dining-in, it also looks like they have a separate banquet area for private events. It also seems to be very clean. There a play-area for the kids. The pizza is good, as are all the sides we've had. The location has good access, so if you'redriving a bus or something, it looks like ample space for parking. I thought the prices were very reasonable for acollege-town. It's a good, laid-back place for any occasion. They have a beer-tap, I don't remember what their selection is,maybe 6-12 brews, local and commonly popular.

The model is an old-style nw pizza parlor with a play room/arcade for kids. The main dining area is large and back rooms are reserved for events. Unfortunately it is not aging well. Reserved rooms are windowless and dark. Furniture is worn. As with many places, they are understaffed. A long line waited for one person to take orders at 3 PM. $41 for a pizza is a premium price in this market, but their combination pizza had no peppers and and all menu specialty pizzas come with canned mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms cost 1.50 extra on request. Food quality was fair. The crust is a little heavy and crunchy. Sauce and cheese were good. Nostalgia aside, I would try a different place next time.

Brought my hubby granddaughter here for play time and pizza. Hubby and I bought small 10 Teriyaki Chicken pizza for $19.30 2 drinks for $6.30. Pizza was pretty good but in my opinion expensive and a bit over done as well. Not sure where the chicken was. Got Lil Square Meal for gd. It 's a little 4 or so cheese pizza that was over done with burnt edges, cookie, milk and small salad bowl. The price was good actually, $6.50 but not for an over cooked pizza that she won 't eat. And a salad bowl for kids??? I guess people get the jello. No just make a good pizza. Anyway I mentioned it to the cashier and he said All of those get burnt edges and we can 't cut any more of it off or the toppings will... View menu

I brought my youngest daughter here for a classmates birthday party. She had a piece of cheese pizza and said it was good. My review is for the play area . What a **** show. There 's a sign outside the room says all the rules.. no food, no hitting, no running, so on and so on. Inside the play area there is a sign that says all parents need to supervise their children, Papa 's staff aren 't supervising your children. Yet there is a staff person in there. Out of about 30 children there were 3 parents plus a staff person. I witnessed kids playing tag, and running everywhere.. a rule broke.. staff person said nothing. A boy was hitting and kicking the staff and was not kicked out of the play are...

I was hoping for a different experience the 2nd time around. I went for lunch earlier in the day, hoping it would be less crowded and/or better. WHY do so many people go here? haha. I don 't get it. I didn 't think it was possible to make pizza that I won 't eat. I will dig into a franchise pizza if it 's around. I took one bite of my Papa 's buffet pizza, and it was just BLEH. It wasn 't very hot, the crust was too crunchy and just overall tasteless. I scraped off a bit of the topping and ate it with a fork, but even that wasn 't good enough to justify the calories. I tossed most of it. I honestly don 't think I have ever tossed a piece of pizza in my life. The Salad bar is fine. The cashie...

Well, it seems like it 's been a year since I went. I must have figured it was about time, so I did. The pizza was OK. That 's all I expect, so no surprise there. There was an event going on, so the staff tried hard to keep various flavors coming out. I appreciate that they did try to keep one half of one non-meat pizza out on the buffet. Those non-meat options seemed to disappear pretty quickly; too bad they didn 't have more of 'em. Crust was ok; nothing spectacular. Mushrooms are from a can. The salad bar was well stocked with fresh spinach, marinated beets, and plenty of the usual suspects. The staff was friendly as always. Very much appreciated. They always smile. That 's got to be hard... View menu
