I've been coming here since it opened in college in 1988. I've been here probably honestly 500 times. It's our pre-game ritual and we go to a lot of games! I love the breadsticks and crust. Get plenty of fresh ranch to dip into. There is a big beer on tap selection and a full bar. This is right on the main drag for campus and is the college pizza place to go for that vibe. I love that not much has changed since it opened. It's a Corvallis institution. The service is good and I like that there are a lot of long time employees that you see over time. Hannah at the bar and Keith behind the counter are great. Color crayon some art on paper plates while you wait. Go Beavs! read more

American Dream Pizza serves up some of the best pizza in Corvallis, this location can just become very busy when OSU is in session, especially on game days! That said, this location is very convenient for those on and around the OSU campus. Wait time for food can vary extensively - I've waited as little as 15 minutes and as long as 45 minutes for my food. For those in more of a hurry, they sell pizza by the slice. Even then, it usually takes a little while for it to get to you. American Dream delivers from this location and has a pretty decently priced lunch special (their website advertises $8.95). This is a nice place to stop for lunch and a drink with friends when you all have time to spare. For a more "low-key" experience, try the location downtown, although that location can get pretty busy too, especially around the weekend. read more

My wife were in Corvallis to watch the NCAA Regional Baseball Tourney and we have been wanting to try the pizza from American Dream for some time as we had heard it was the best. It was!!! We each ordered a Mini and we were surprised that American Dream will do 1/2 and 1/2's for any size. So great. The toppings were plentiful as well. The crust was perfect as the flavor was outstanding. The service was excellent as we called in the order about thirty minutes out of Corvallis, and I picked them up to meet my wife in line for the games. We also had the fortune of meeting the owner of American Dream. We were told beforehand that he would be there...and he brought tables and lots of pizza that he also offered to us and many that were also standing in line. He was extremely friendly and it is very apparent why American Dream is so successful. They have a great leader that exudes positivity. read more

What do you want on your salad? You can have that. On your pizza? You can do that too. And it will be fresh and delicious every time. Your beer will be cold. Your soda will be crispy (you know what I mean! bubbles!) We've also ordered delivery and it was still hot when it arrived. Yes please. I would eat here every time we visit but we need to pay Bodhis rent too, and we can't get brekkie here. read more

There is not a pizza I don't love at American Dream. It's is 100 out of 10 and you must always order a side of ranch to dip your pizza into. Best college pizza place of all time! Thai order was half pepperoni and pineapple and half bbq chicken. read more

Love american dream both this location and the downtown one. Some of my favorite pizza and best in town in my book. What keeps it from a 5 star is just the price and there slices aren't as good as the fresh whole pizzas. I usually get a mini which is delicious but definitely spendy. Would still absolutely recommend though. read more

This was the cutest place, we sat outside and enjoyed a cold glass of 2 towns cider pineapple flavor. The veggie pizza was absolutely delicious. I could've had another! It was a very warm, quiet afternoon there most likely due to most have left town for summer break. Would love to come back again! Guys who work inside are a very friendly, easygoing group. read more

Good service and very good pizza. My wife especially loved the crust. We will definitely be going back here. Beer selection is very good.

Great deal for pizza by the slice. $3/slice + $.85/add'l toppings. Pizza was standard. Kind of dry with very little sauce. Nice ambiance. Good place for just a quick bite to eat. Friendly service. read more

American Dream Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Awful Pizza. If you order a slice with toppings, they just throw the toppings on an old slice of cheese then kinda warm it up, kinda. Results: the toppings are not cooked and they are not integrated into the slice of pizza. The downtown location is SLIGHTLY better. read more

Service was friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our medium sized "the bent" pizza and the Roman Holiday salad with honey mustard on the side was sizable and tasty. Servers were smiling and laughing and the atmosphere was friendly and chill. We pod definitely return here if we are back in town! Tasty food and we even had leftover pizza from the medium size with three adults eating. Nice that it's right on the edge of campus- many students streaming thru around lunchtime. read more

Oh terrible,we ordered 2 veggi pizzas,there were just cheese and a few slices of tomatos with lots of cheese and oil.

I've been here several times through the years when visiting Corvallis. Previous visits I really enjoyed the pizza but this time we came mid-afternoon and the pizza wasn't as fresh-it's pre-made, then warmed with your toppings to order, which at a busy time with fresh pizza being made, is good, but our pizza tasted like it had sat for a couple hours and then when reheated it was very hard on the bottom, and the edge crust I couldn't eat because of the crunch. Bottom line-order slices during busier times or order a whole pizza fresh! read more

Wow that was some of the worst pizza I have ever had. The dough did not have a good flavor and smelled. The whole pizza was covered in raw tomatoes. And it was expensive! I ordered a medium thinking I would eat it over the weekend and left more than half of it there. Yuck! read more

American Dream Pizza - How much I left on the table. When I opened the box it smelled terrible. Worst dough I have ever tasted. - Pizza Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Don't go on a game night. It's not worth the wait or the crowd. We were told 30 minutes on our take-out pizza. That turned into well over an hour, standing the whole time in a large crowd of people gathered around a small order table. We couldn't leave or sit down for fear they'd call our name and we wouldn't hear it. Pizza was ok. Not the best I've had. Not a fan. read more

Shoutout to a college town with great college pizza. What's not to like about this place? Friendly staff, great food, and fun atmosphere. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Order by the slice instead of ordering a full pie. If you're in the area I'll be there later today. Cya soon. read more

Overall: Service was awful and the food was mediocre at best. Service downstairs where you order your food was terrible. There were tons of people behind the counter just walking right past customers waiting at the counter. Not a single person stopped to at least say, "someone will be with you shortly", they completely ignored the customers. This one girl just stood there slowly filling up ranch cups then finally set them aside before walking back to the counter to take an order from an elderly man with a walker who had been standing there for at least 10 minutes. We finally ordered our food and told them we'd be up on the roof deck, they said "no problem! Well bring it up". 45 minutes later... my husband went down to check on the order, he stood in line again for 15 minutes before anyone came to counter, in the meantime he had a conversation with an other customer about the crappy service, when he finally was helped they said, "oh yeah, your foods been done for a while, we didn't know who's it was"--you're a restaurant, you don't have a system for this? Or at least tell people, if you want your food, come and find it yourself. The rooftop was actually had a pretty nice atmosphere and happy hour drink deals were decent. However, when I up to the bar to get a drink about 5 minutes before happy hour ended there was a short line. The bar tender told the 2 people in front of me, "I'll give you the happy price since you've been in line", but when it got to me (2 minutes past HH) he charged me full price. It's only $4 more so whatever but it just kinda seemed a little rude since I was also in line before HH ended. Also, I only reason I ordered at the bar upstairs is because the beer I ordered downstairs tasted like the tap lines hadn't been cleaned in a while, it tasted pretty bad and I couldn't drink it. And finally, the pizza. It's was fine, not bad, but nothing specially. It was like a better version of a frozen pizza. The restaurant it self was actually pretty nice, interesting/fun stuff on the walls, and it was clean. It's a bummer it's being ran so poorly. I would probably only go back to have a drink in the roof top, definitely wouldn't go for food again. read more

A hometown icon loved by many. But here's my complaint. Salads came without chicken and no ranch dressing with the breadsticks. When the same driver came back with new salads, she was full of attitude. Sorry your placed screwed up and you had to get paid for bringing me correct order. While this sounds like a minor thing, it seems to be a repeat offense over the past few years. Last December my order came but no salads. Driver said he'd be back. An hour later, no salads still. I called and was told they would refund my card but that credit never came. I think I'm done with ADP. read more

Ordered takeout for a mini cheese, a medium pie, half with cheese, pineapple, and half pepperoni. We also purchased 3 breadsticks with extra garlic butter, a side of ranch and a side of marinara sauce but unfortunately didn't receive any of the condiments. Overall, the pizza was good along with the breadsticks. Picking up the online order was very easy along with the kind staff helping us out. (Forgot to take a picture of mini cheese) read more

Good vibes, good people and good prices. But their dough is pure horror. Yeasty blandness with chewiness you'd get if you soaked a stack of cardboard in water then baked it at 375. For the love of sweet lord Jesus, Am Dream, F I X Y O U R D O U G H ! ! ! Portland has dozens of pizza shops with great crust. You can't tell me you don't know, you haven't eaten there. Please, take a field trip, study their crust and copy it. Until you do, Corvallis will remain a pizza desert. read more

Disappointing. $30 gluten free pizza with Barely any sauce, burned on the edges but raw dough on the bottom.I never thought I would have to look at the bottom of a pizza when picking up a pizza. I arrived on time, but had to wait for five minutes just to be noticed by the staff. For many years we could count on the Campus location to bake the pizza right as the Downtown location normally burned the pizza. American Dream, you can do a lot better- if you care to. read more

I visited the downtown store last week. The dining room was large with plenty of seating. The service was very good. Imagine my shock when I saw the prices for their pizza. $17 for a mini is way too much! I decided to order a slice of pizza, thinking it would be a cheaper option. Admittedly, it was a busy time, but I had to wait 25 mins. for my modest slice of pizza that cost me $7.25! It did taste good, but it was definitely not worth the price. I will not choose to return to this pizza place read more

Very expensive industrial pizza, you can get much better for a fraction of the price at Fred Meyer's frozen department.

I can't believe I did it, and I'm glad I did. I don't find myself in the Campus area very often anymore. I ended up walking to the Credit Union from downtown, and just for fun asked the teller where he thought was good for lunch. He suggested a couple places, one of which was American Dream. I haven't been to the campus location for a long time. The downtown location is awful. What the heck. It was lunch time, so I thought I could risk it. Glad I did. I just got a slice with mushrooms. It was actually really good! Not just OK, it was good. The crust was not over-risen or over-yeasted. It wasn't burned, but it was cooked right. I have no idea why the pizza at campus is so much better. I remember when they opened the downtown location their pie wasn't as good. I held out hope that once the ovens got broken in they would be just as good. I mean the ovens at the Campus dream have been running since 1972 after all. Well, I guess the pie down there never got any better. It may have got worse. So it was difficult to step in to the old stand-by campus location. It has changed a lot. They got rid of the cool merman mural and replaced it with a tiny little bar. It wasn't open yet, but that's fine. Staff was friendly, and the pizza was good enough I almost got another slice! Perhaps in the future when I want to get in a five mile walk, I'll go up there for lunch. Worth it. I doubt I'll get a pie from the downtown location again. They need to send bakers, or at least the folks who make dough, up to campus to learn. The ingredients have to be the same - from the same supplier. Flour. Yeast. Vegetables. Meats. The water is the same. I have no idea what the difference is unless it's user error. Maybe downtown will get tolerable again. I won't ever find out. It's probably a good thing it's so far of a walk to the campus location or else I'd eat way too much pizza. read more

Got a text for the deadweek pizza special. So I called in a pizza and ordered one for my sister who lives in Salem. I was told I could only order one pizza. I spoke to the manager and explained to him that I wanted to order a second pizza for my sister, who is clearly a second customer and he told me that I could only order one per customer. So I asked him if my grandson could order her pizza and he said yes. So when I went to the downtown location to pick it up, my grandson paid for my sisters pizza and I paid for mine. As I was paying for mine, a second lady came over and questioned my order. She asked me if I got my pizza and I said no. So after I got my pizza, me and my grandson went over to look at the art on the wall and the same lady came over to me and said to me "In the future, do not do that again". Excuse me? I was so shocked that she was accusing me. If your promotional text message says "one per customer", then do not harass 2 customers who each have "one pizza". Even if my grandson wanted to purchase his own pizza and eat it, he has the right to do that. He is a separate customer from me. That is what the ad says. Unbelievable how rude I was treated. After growing up in this town and living here for 50+ years, I will definitely NOT ever go here again. read more

I've lived in Corvallis for over a year. When I first moved I was hoping to find a good pizza place to satisfy my cravings. Everyone recommended American Dream; because of those recommendations, I had high hopes. After a year I can assure you that hands down, without a shadow of doubt, American Dream Pizza is complete DOGSHIT. Any other local place far surpasses AD in quality, taste, and price. Now, before you start typing away in disagreement and disbelief, let me back up my claim. American Dream Pizza is HOT DOO DOO SAUCE for 3 main reasons. Number 1 - The Crust Arguably, pizza crust is the defining factor for any good slice. Too much oil and seasonings and the pizza is overpowering--not enough seasoning and the result is unappealing. With AD we have a severely under seasoned crust. Additionally it has a saltine cracker-like bitterness. Number 2 - The Toppings To be fair, I haven't tried all the toppings, but rating a pizza place by their most basic slice is the best way of determining quality. The cheese and sauce on their own lack flavor. Apart from that the cheese is mostly undercooked (by most modern American pizza standards). I had a simple pepperoni slice where every pepperoni magically slid off my pizza. The toppings did not adhere to the cheese and the sauce was so bland that at that point, I would rather just eat a saltine cracker with sauce and cheese. I would bet on my life that eating the latter would satisfy you far more. Number 3 - Price/Hype I rarely complain about price. But in this case I have to mention it because you should get what you pay for (Right??) To put it simply, their pizza is overpriced for the quality. Go to your local grocery store, pick up a frozen pizza, and you just saved $10+ and will end up feeling way more satisfied. Along with the price I have to mention the hype around AD. Life-long locals will ride or die for AD. I respect that, BUT, I think that type of loyalty is delusional. PROS Disregarding all of my "negative" comments, the pizza is obviously still edible. The staff has always been courteous and friendly, which I appreciate. The bar also has a great beverage selection. There are also other things on the menu besides pizza that aren't half bad. The Verdict / TL:DR American Dream Pizza aims to provide a small town solution to the age old business of cheese and sauce on baked dough; however, AD and its fans consistently overpromise and under-deliver. The pizza tastes bland and leaves me wanting something else. There is no defining good flavor or aftertaste that makes a slice from AD memorable. If you can afford American Dream, do yourself a favor and go to Little Caesars and buy 3 pizza's instead. read more

American Dream Pizza - I still ate it doe (Except for the terrible crust) - Pizza Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

I used to come here all the time with my roommates when I attended OSU. I'm a little surprised it's averaging a 3.5 star rating because they seem to be the go-to pizza joint in Corvallis and everyone seems to love it. It's always pretty crowded regardless of the time during the day. Honestly, I would recommend ordering a whole pizza for take out or just call in a delivery. Their delivery service is freaky fast! And the Handle Bar is dope AF. Now, their pizza by the slices are hit or miss. On one occasion I ordered a dope ass slice pepperoni pizza that sent my tastebuds to heaven. I also had a slice of Hawaiian that had me thinking about it two days later. However, I've also had a bbq chicken slice that felt like eating cardboard. I would guess it had been left out of a while but come on, the chicken was beginning to get all weird and dry and brown looking. Don't sell that. Either make a fresh pie (which I would never expect anyone to make me a whole pie just so I can have one little slice) or just tell me your out so I get a fresher slice of another variety. Overall I do enjoy this place and I think after I order delivery a few more times I'll be able to give a more exceptional review. read more

ABSOLUTELY RUDE AND DEMEANING SERVICE. The kid (red shirt, blonde short hair) who took my order gave us 2 slices of the hardest pizza I've ever touched . Mind you, I have braces and I asked him nicely if they can remake it softer because they clearly overcooked it. He proceeds to say "it's crust dude" I asked him again to remake it .. he then proceeds to GRAB THE PIZZA with his hands and said "There's nothing much I can do with pizza" and then tosses the pizza back in the box . I ask for a refund at that point. He punches the counter with 2 hands and brings over what looks to be someone in charge . She comes over and just stares at me without saying a word. I ask her "did he tell you what happened? Or do I have to repeat it to you" and she proceeds to say "he told me a little" . I proceed to tell her what happened . She ended up giving me a refund because I asked for it . They ended up wasting to slices of pizza . And giving me a refund because their employee with the red shirt who was our order taker at 9:02:51 pm decided to be an asshole for no reason. HE IS THE WORSE CASHIER IVE EVER HAD. Angry because I wanted to get better quality pizza? Maybe if him and his friend stopped talking at work and keep an eye on the oven we'd have non burnt pizza. Terrible read more

I ordered a mini pizza for delivery. I got the Dream Special, Italian Sausage, Smokey Bacon, Mushrooms, Black Olives and Fresh Tomatoes. The mini has 6 slices loaded with toppings and Dream Pizza's excellent crust. A great benefit is delivery was $2 unlike some other food delivery outfits that make ordering out way too expensive. Thanks American Dream Pizza! read more

By far, my all time favorite pizza. If there is a line, it's worth the wait. Quality of ingredients, originality of flavor profiles, and overall genuine kind nature of service makes American Dream Pizza a "must add" to the short list of best pizza in Corvallis.

What a disappointment! Are there new owners? I have enjoyed American Dream pizza and salads for years. Not yesterdays. We ordered a pizza and 2 salads to be delivered. The salads were half the size as before. The "bacon" was very hard to find and it was the kind you buy at Fred's in a bag--not the yummy cooked and chopped at the restaurant kind they have served for years. The ranch dressing was in a store bought envelope. The feta was negligible. Then there was the pizza. Flat and little crust on the edge. Didn't have to worry about dipping the crust in the ranch since there wasn't much crust and the store bought ranch bag didn't lend itself to dipping. Certainly not the American Dream I had looked forward to. read more

Mediocre at best. Pizza is always dry and the crust is so meh. I really dislike how they put whole tomatoes on top of some of their pizzas. Also, who tf charges extra for ranch?! The slushes are hlt or miss. Everything is fairly overpriced especially for a place that is bus your own. Also, service was pretty bad. 10/10 would not eat at again. read more
