Cheese and pepperoni slices.
James C.

This pizza is standout!!!! I would say for this style pizza it is the best I have had in Central Oregon. Cooked to perfection, crispy bottom!!! AMAZING!!!

Half cheese half pepperoni

The pizza was 8 large pieces and very tasty thin crust. a little hard to find with google directions.

Pepperoni pizza

There is no competition: Bowen's Pizza is a long-awaited answer to my pizza prayers. Hands down the best pizza I've had since Tuscany -- crispy, chewy, oven-fired inspired crust, perfect distribution of high-quality mozzarella, toppings & a sweet tomatoey sauce. Currently conveniently & centrally located in the food truck court at Silver Moon Brewing, having a brew & sharing a Bowen's pizza (or getting your own slice of heaven) with friends is a bona fide experience upgrade in town.

Pepperoni pizza was bangin!

We are a family of 5 that came to Bend to go bowling. Pizza sounded like a good idea and Fat Tony's…read moredid not disappoint! We ordered two large and one small pizza and they were all delicious! We finished them off with no leftovers! The crust was thin and delicious! Each pizza had the perfect amount of toppings! Everything came out so quickly! I bet we were there 40 minutes tops. Great turnover for a pizza joint! There's limited seating but the tables cleared up quickly. And the service was great! Thank you Fat Tony's!

Bend, Oregon April 2026…read more This dining room has one large booth with three tables for larger parties and four other tables with chairs. The hostess is extremely friendly. We came here on a Monday night and they told us that the bone in wings were $.50 a piece so we ordered seven wings for $3.50 and they normally are $13. Good deal. Great deal if they taste good. We also ordered a large Regina margarita pizza for $23. We are eating in and nobody else is. Most people are coming by to carry out. The pizza came so quickly. It took all of seven minutes from ordering to serve us the pizza. The pizza was cooked and then they threw the cherry tomatoes on after it had cooked. So they were like biting into a cold tomato on top of my pizza. I thought the pizza tasted salty. The crust was very thick and soft around the edges. The cheese never pulled on the pizza. It was like it was pre-made and then thrown into the oven. The crust of the pizza is very chewy and soft. The wings were presented in a beautiful way. Sliced celery and carrots accompanied the dish. The wings were large. The barbecue sauce had a very smoky taste to it. The wings were tough to chew. The sauce was way too heavy. It was sitting and dripping with sauce. Not really the way I like my chicken wings. Not sure what the draw is to this pizzeria. It sits next to a Latin cuisine that was closed the evening we came. It is also attached to the end of a very large building that is empty and unoccupied. I had high hopes for this pizzeria joint. However, other than the super friendly girl that took our order, everything else was a big disappointment. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I had to come to the original Deschutes!…read more Came in on a Saturday midday for a beer and snack. Easily sat at the bar. Cool vibe to the original brewery! Enjoyed the Fresh Haze IPA. The bartender let me try two but that was my preference. The pretzel was delicious. I'm not a huge beer cheese fan but it was hot and delicious with the mustard around the outside. We were curious about the cask beer which apparently is warm (or room temperature) and flat- not what you look for normally in a beer! The nice bartender let us try it just out of curiosity- not for me! I'd come back to try lunch or dinner.

Yay! It was the best veggie burger my husband has had in a long time... he added avocado and vegan cheese (which did make it a bit pricey). Awesome that you can do many different sides including regular fries, Cajun fries, salad, chips, and more options... do wish they had onion rings however. I got the hummus plate which was good but not the best I've had. It came with a baguette which was more like garlic bread so I would have, personally, liked pita more. It also had a few olives on the side with a red pepper type sauce. I got it with no pickled onions. They had a great beer selection and even a few tasty non-alcoholic beers. Also had kombucha on tap which was delicious (from Humm). Everyone working was super sweet and the vibes were relaxed and casual. Our food came out quick and exactly how we ordered it. They also seemed to have spaces for larger parties, too. They also have a little gift shop if you wanted to pick anything from shirts, to bottle openers, to beer candles and more! Would come back again!

We looked over the menu before ordering, the girl at the counter gave us some time to brows and helped the other guest a regular as they were on a first name basis. We ordered small salads from the salad bar, cheese bread a pizza and some sodas. Thr salad bar had alot of options for topping your salad. I was a huge fan of what looked like house made croutons. They also had cottage cheese & fruit, potato salad that was good. They had everything from carrots to beets, peas and pickles. There were many options at their salad bar. The salad bar came with a breadstick as well. They made the pizza and it took about 20 minutes. They had a different type of pizza oven that what I am used to seeing back home. They do charge 50 cents per ranch for your pizza, no card cash only for that. We got called over the speaker when our appetizers was ready. We also got called to the counter to pick up our pizza. The regulars who arrived after us, got their food brought to the table. Not sure if you have to request that option. Also not there is a $1.50 boxing fee if you want a box for your left overs. Cake flats and foil are avaliable free at rhe counter. The pizza had the crisp at the base of the crust and a fluffier dough above. They were generous with the toppings and the slices were large. We had plenty of left overs. It wasnt the best pizza I have had but it was really good. The crust was perfect for what I was looking for, but next time i would get plain cheese or pepperoni over the combo.

I took my son and family to Old Town Pizza last Wednesday for his birthday and it was our first…read moretime there. I almost didn't go because a couple friends told me it "wasn't that good." Fortunately I've learned that sometimes friends are wrong and Yelp is right. First challenge is parking. It's on a busy street and there's basically none. But if you can survive the rugged wilderness trek of... about one block... you'll be just fine. Once inside the place is clean, roomy, and has that perfect cozy old school pizza joint vibe. The kind of place where the smell alone makes you instantly hungry. The lady behind the counter was tossing pizza dough like she's been doing it since the Reagan administration. Always a good sign. The beer was cold, the salad bar is gloriously old school (which I love), and the service was excellent from the moment we walked in. Now let's talk pizza. This is not one of those sad flat crunchy pizzas with three lonely toppings scattered around like they're rationing pepperoni during wartime. This pizza is crunchy, cheesy, and loaded the way pizza should be. If you believe toppings belong on pizza instead of being used sparingly like museum artifacts, this place gets it right. The guy behind the bar called me by name all night which caught me off guard. I finally asked if he owned the place and he said no. If that's just an employee treating the place like it's his own, that says a lot about the culture there. Great service, great pizza, cold beer, and a place that actually feels like a pizza joint. We'll definitely be back. My friends who told me it wasn't good are no longer allowed to recommend restaurants.

Review: P!ZZA - Bend, Oregon (Order and Delivery via DoorDash)…read more Delivery arrived roughly 20 minutes after order confirmation, which is a clear win. The total came to $26.95 all in (pizza, driver tip, etc) for a 12-inch pizza. This feels like shrinkflation territory, though it was manageable given that I was dining solo and did not have to wrestle over slices. The pizza arrived cool, bordering on cold, which was disappointing. That said, it was packed with care and clearly made with attention to detail. Another interesting point is that the pizza was not sliced. Luckily, my kitchen is armed with a pizza slicer. The pizza itself was well executed. Thin crust, quality ingredients, and good flavor throughout. The pepperoni was nicely rendered and the overall balance worked. While the pizza was tasty and thoughtfully made, the price point for delivery makes it hard to call this a go to option. I will continue the search for a great delivery pizza that delivers a tasty pizza without breaking the bank.

While eating at Podski on our first day in Bend, we saw another table pull out a delicious looking…read moreDetroit-style pizza from a box. 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
