    Big John's Special & Hawaiian
    Ciarra L.

    As a past resident of Pendleton- now a PDXer, I'm extremely disappointed in todays service. My grandparents come on a regular basis and today I was excited however it seems that the normal staff that usually works wasn't here. We were "un" greeted by the youth that work here & upon ordering things seemed like an inconvenience- which was clear with the head tilt and eye-roll! If you don't want to work with people- then leave because you set a terrible example for future customer service reps in a pizza joint where you serve families/kiddos. The pizza was good but the lack of customer service really makes a difference in returning customers. Salad bar was not super pleasant- the counter needed a good wipe... and the carrots and cucumber were depressing.

    You totally missed the best pizza in town. You should come get your own

    Correct smells, flavors and visuals. Obviously is a town fav, good pizza place vibe. Thin crust had a good flavor, the half and half pizza (Big Johns/Hawaiian) was good, one of the better ones we've had. Less expensive than I was anticipating, but more crowded than I had thought it would be, there was a game, so perhaps there were contributing factors. Cheesy bread sticks were good, marinara had a home made texture and taste, nice presentation. Food came out hot, in a reasonable time, all in all a great little pizza place, considering I haven't been in it since the mid 70s. Good place for a family dinner.

    Build-your-own double, hand tossed pizza.

    First: this is so nostalgic for me because it feels like a place I'd go with my little league team. That aside: what a great find. The pizza really is top notch - the Platonic form of pizza. The staff is super nice and friendly. Everything is clean and tidy albeit dated. Being from out of town I wasn't sure what to expect but I was seriously thrilled after a long drive.

    Looking for a dinner spot in Pendleton & happened across Big Johns. Excellent signage on each end of the block to catch passing traffic. So you walk i n& go straight to the order counter. Didn't know this. Instead we went to a table & sat down & waited awhile. Noticing no waitresses at all we went up to the counter & found out we were supposed to order there. Anyhoo, we ordered the Taco pizza because we had just been talking about Godfathers wonderful Taco pizza from back in the day. This was not wonderful. Huge mess is what it was. Don't think I would go out of my way to eat there again.

    Even the cat won't touch it!

    The age old question, how bad can you screw up a cheese pizza and breadsticks. I didn't want to know the answer, but I found out in Pendleton... not edible. Keep driving... really some of the grossest pizza I have ever eaten. I suggest going to a chain over this horrible place.
