The Experience: I visited Toasty while I was on vacation in Bend and loved having so many options at one spot as a vegan. What stood out: Service: The woman taking orders was attentive with answering our questions and making recommendations. Our two crunchwraps took around 25 minutes before our buzzer rang and we went to pick it up. Product/Food: I ordered the buffalo chik'n crunchwrap and my boyfriend ordered the nacho cheeze crunchwrap. As someone who despises eating lettuce, the way the cold and warm ingredients are intentionally layered throughout the crunchwrap is beyond delicious. I ate my crunchwrap within minutes of it being hitting the table. The tortilla was perfectly flaky, the homemade ranch was an amazing texture, and the chick'n was seasoned to perfection. Ambiance: Toasty is a small food trunk in the Podski food truck pod complex. It is incredibly busy and it can be difficult to find a seat. However, it is fun and lively with some great people watching opportunities once you are seated. Toasty will continue to be our favorite spot to eat at in Bend!

It is located in the parking lot of a brewery that looked super cute with tons of seating both indoor and out. We got our dinners + 2 cheese plates (one for that night and one to take on our road trip). The lady that took our order didn't really like the idea that we were taking the cheese plate to go because she said they have a nice display and silverware at the brewery for it. We thought that was kind of strange, but when we ended up getting it, it was a super full box with a ton of goodies that must of been a bit of a challenge to get in the box. It probably would of been a beautiful cheese plate if we stayed there and had some beer or wine. I got the wet burrito for dinner that had griddle potatoes, smoked turtle beans, grilled mixed vegetables, roasted chilis, & caramelized onions smothered in hot enchilada sauce. I really liked it until my friend pointed out it tasted kind of like marinara and I couldn't get that out of my head. It was still good, but not the normal burrito taste. My friend got the fried rice and liked it, but thought it was better for breakfast.

The proportion and textures were such a great blend--not too sweet and the whole foods added that special touch. The potatoes were also licked clean as well as the mushroom gravy with biscuits and tofu scramble. The bed of arugula under those dishes gave them a wholesome boost. Our eyes and stomaches were fully satisfied. We'll be back again this week and probably get the same thing since the combo was so good though there were other enticements on the menu! The location reminded me of a food festival, and the bathrooms nearby in the main building are clean with cool industrial finishes.

I've been waiting because my daughter actually said she needed to write our review but WOW doesn't…read moredo it. So let's back into this. We went to Bend to see AJR - her favorite band. And we stayed the night AFTER the show instead of driving back to Beaverton. SO the next day we had brunch at Fix & Repeat. She was wearing her AJR shirt and hat, and she was HAPPY and still bubbling over the show. We were talking about the show and received our food - we both ordered the Spiced Burrito. Let me tell you - this place is PLANT Based. So it's not FAKE meat. It's walnut meat which takes a lot of effort and knowing how to flavor and season. Because it's just mashed walnuts otherwise. We got the burrito and used the Campfire Hot sauce (which is SO delicious and flavorful - and local to Bend!) And my daughter said she felt like Angels had made and delivered her burrito as it was THE BEST THING SHE'D EVER EATEN. It had such great flavor. It was phenomenal. I love a hearty breakfast burrito and man it was delicious. Then after we were drooling over the food we had JUST eaten, we went back to talking about the concert. There were two openers - one that we shall not mention and Izzy Escobar. The manager or owner, who was there working started talking to the staff about the concert and we said OMG you were there too?!?! And mentioned WOW was Izzy Escobar amazing or what?! And she said yes and we were bubbling over talking about HOW incredible she is and one of the staff members said "UM - that's her isn't it?!" And we looked behind us and Izzy and her band were SITTING ON THE PATIO!!! She is vegan so they popped in for breakfast too!! And also kept saying how AMAZING the food was.

I ordered the Butterflies--wontons filled with Dungeness crab, garlic, cream cheese, and green onions, served with a sweet chili dipping sauce--and the Curry Basil Noodles. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. Despite having a couple of large parties in the restaurant, I didn't feel like I waited long for my food.

As a major Thai food fan having eaten in Thailand, specifically Chiang Mai several times, I was eager to try the Northern Thai spot. We had spent the whole day hiking and were excited to grub. The only redeeming factor was that there's no wait (which should be a red flag more than anything). We got the vegetarian papaya salad, tom kha, and curry noodles. Service started off great with waters and quick attention. However, the food was beyond disappointing. The papaya salad was artificially sweetened, with some odd sweet syrup poured over the combination of papaya and one sole tomato slice. No citrus or spice could be tasted. The tom kha was also not well made, with it being sweet more than anything and the tofu tasting like it has been cut up and tossed in the soup 1 minute before service. The curry noodles started off strong with a nice spice level with tofu well cooked but then chunks of the curry powder with heavy turmeric were not cooked in so landed heavy in the mouth. The combination of the three dishes as one would expect was disappointing. Dishes seemed to be rushed out of the kitchen before ending service for the night. I think unfortunately the service was the most disappointing. Had they been slightly more understanding I would have not been inclined to leave this review. However, there was instant dismissal of our disappointment with our food with an assumption that we just didn't want to pay for the meal, which was far from the truth. Would definitely not return here and would not recommend this restaurant. I am saddened to hear that this is touted as one of the better Thai restaurants in Bend. If only fellow travelers and the great people of Bend knew.

This place serves the most delicious vegan pizzas in town! They've absolutely nailed their vegan pizza recipe--the crust is perfect, the toppings are fresh, and the flavors are on point. Every bite is a satisfying experience, and I can't get enough of it. But the real showstopper here? The vegan cheesecake. It's out-of-this-world delicious! I honestly can't leave without getting a slice (or two). It's creamy, perfectly sweet, and truly a treat that even non-vegans will love. If you're looking for incredible vegan pizza and a dessert that'll blow your mind, this place is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

This place is doing the right thing. They ALWAYS have decent vegan options and it never feels like you are getting compromised food because they serve mostly meat options. And I REALLY appreciate the organic ingredients. I recently had the vegan Mazto Ball Soup special during Passover, which I greatly appreciated coming from LA where there are delis everywhere and now being in a town that doesn't even know what Mazto is. They are always friendly, easy to order from, and doing great in terms of safety during COVID. read more

When I opened the box after arriving home, the pizza barely resembled what most would recognize as a pizza. The crust/dough was raw and there was a weird absence of cheese -- just red with a cheese dusting, mostly sauce on raw dough. Even if it'd melted more, the cheese ratio was visibly, obviously, short and wrong. Even Dominos can make a pizza that "looks" like a good pizza. I have to imagine someone pulling it out of the oven and thinking, "good enough, let's add more cheese and a longer bake next time." Thirty plus dollars later, I'm cooking dinner for my family. Good pizza is probably hard to make, but what's not hard is stopping a poorly executed product from leaving the kitchen, all the more so when it's waiting in a warmer, having been cooked well before the specified pick-up time. McDonald's is never good, but they excel at never letting something below their low standards land on a tray. I would have been very grateful if they'd just said, "we're 15min behind because your pizza came out below our standards and we're trying to make it right." Instead what I got, "good enough," really wasn't.

We, having moved less than a year ago from Detroit, are always glad to see the style really spread through the US. Asking the couple where they got the pizza from, they pointed us to the next block where Abe Capanna's food cart is located. Of course, at that point, we had already ordered enough food to eat, so we relegated this place to the next day. Pouring rain, flooded roads, and power outages awaited our second day in Bend and the thought of Detroit style pizza was the only thing giving us respite. We arrived later in the evening than we liked due to the torrential downpour and were quoted a 30 minute wait. It ended up taking 31, so they seem to be pretty good at estimating (and that's also a pretty appropriate wait time for a quality Detroit-style pizza in the first place)! Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, a focaccia dough-like crust, airy and chewy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that's somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese, buttery and tangy, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized cheese ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically a large spoonful in two or three wide lines, is spread on top of the cheese. The crust must remain crisp without becoming soggy with moisture and there must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike about traditional Detroit-style, since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Any place that moves the pepperoni to the top is okay in my book. 8-Square Cheese Pizza w/ Pepperoni ($30) - As a mostly traditionalist, I always have to start with the classic pepperoni pizza. The pizza Abe Capanna's puts out is kind of strange in terms of shape. The dough doesn't quite stretch to the corners so the edges are rounded, but since they use a rectangular pan, some of the cheese crust, wonderfully salty and crisp, makes it to the corners. The pizza as a whole isn't quite rectangular and is instead more oblong The dough is fried very nicely to a consistent dark golden brown color, giving a great crisp texture with every bite and allowing enough grease to soak into the crust to prevent any watery moisture buildup. I think the dough is a little bit on the denser side vs airy, but it's nicely chewy and has well developed air pockets. The toppings start with a thick layer of cheese. I believe they use low moisture mozzarella, giving the pizza a mild taste with a very subtle tanginess and no fresh milkiness. A lot of places use brick cheese/mozzarella blends or just plain mozz nowadays, especially since it's more difficult to source the cheese the further a restaurant is away from Wisconsin. I'm actually okay with that for the most part. There's certainly not as much flavor in the cheese, but places have to make do with the ingredients they can obtain. The pepperoni is placed on top of the cheese and is baked until cupping upwards and crisped up. Tomato sauce is ladled on top, not entirely in a line, but rather dolloped on each slice. The sauce isn't a super fresh one, so its main characteristic is saltiness rather than any flavorful tomato acidity to help cut through some of the grease. the sauce is by far the weakest part of the pizza*. Between the cheese, pepperoni, and sauce, the pie is pretty well balanced with there being an appropriate amount of toppings to not overload the crust. While there are some weaknesses, I thought this was an excellent pizza, although not necessarily the most traditional Detroit-style. (4.5/5) Okay, so a couple of the reviews give Abe Capanna's a low rating because the reviewers complain that they don't serve a legitimate Detroit-style pizza. I tend to agree, given the major departures in shape and the cheese being used. Still, I think this is a delicious pizza, whether it's actually Detroit-style or not. Let's just call it a Bend-style interpretation of Detroit-style, if that makes everyone happier! *We had a couple of slices leftover and eating it the next day, the sauce actually becomes much more flavorful. Very interesting! If only it had tasted like that the first day! Note: Abe Capanna's charges a 3% credit card fee
