Their sausage pasta is absolutely delicious and more than enough for two people to share!

I don't have much to say about this pizza stop in Salem Oregon. Nice decor, average pizza, pleasant waiter. I always get pizza in the first day of my Roadtrip for its versatility as breakfast lunch snack or dinner. read more

We had been looking forward to dinning at Geppetto's for a long time. The moment we walked in it felt so authentic, warm and inviting. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. That is where the fairytale ends fortunately. We ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and shrimp fettuccine alfredo. The pasta was so over cooked and mushy . The only thing less appetizing was the sauce. The sauce had no flavor and the texture was as if it was from a can. The shrimp was so over cooked and tasted terrible. I cannot imagine anyone enjoying this food. We most certainly will not be back. read more

While they are usually busy you will find the service to be excellent for a one man show in the Lounge section. If you like Italian food this is your place. The dishes are fresh and flavorful with a a large variety of choices, you're sure to find one that you going to like. We usually go for the personal pizza that is priced under $6 and is always excellent! Be prepared to wait a little bit because this isn't fast food and your food is cooked to order. The bar offers a full array of adult beverages as well! Come on down,maybe I will see you there! read more

Geppetto's - Personal size pizza (oysters and mushrooms for me) - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I had dinner here, by myself. I had studied the menu before my arrival and was excited to see they serve Cannaloni which I have been craving for quite some time! My cannaloni was stuffed with ground sausage, spinach, and some kind of cheese. It was delicious! I think the pasta could have been cooked a little longer. But the flavor was perfect, with the tomato sauce. The salad it came with lacked tomatoes. I then ordered Spumoni ice cream which is always tasty! Service was spot on! Friendly and courteous and attentive. I will definitely be back! read more

Love this cute little restaurant. Service was great. The young gentleman was so nice and recommended some dishes, since it was my first time, and was very welcoming. The food wasn't exactly the best but it was definitely worth it and still good. Definitely recommend. read more

Wonderful food! Wonderful service! Enjoyed everything about this restaurant. Will go here again. read more

Absolutely friendly and knowledgeable staff. We ordered the shrimp Alfredo, Ma's lasagna, and Ma's ravioli; the food overall was delicious, savory, and rich packed with flavors. We did wait a little long for our food but it was def worth the wait. I def recommend this place ! read more

Went here on a Sunday evening after seeing great reviews online. Honestly service was not great he was nice but for a not busy night we waited about 15 min to even be asked if we would like some water. I ordered the chicken parmigiana chicken was decent noodles and sauce had no flavor tasted almost like just water my son got a cheese pizza he seemed to like but I was nothing too aww about and lastly we ordered a deep dish pizza that we were excited about and again were disappointed it again had no flavor at all and was just over all flavorless. I ordered a Fanta and tasted like the cup still had soap in it. Safe to say we will not be returning unfortunately. For the price it was not worth it. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I feel that they are cheeping out on the deep dish pizza and not honoring the reputation of a deep dish tradition. I know this is trying times, but the deep dish pizza is supposed to be full of toppings. I ordered a small Italian sausage and pepperoni deep dish pizza and it was more like a regular pizza covered in sauce. They are really reducing the amount of toppings. I counted six pieces of sausage and five pepperonis on an eight slice Pizza. Very disappointing... Maybe after Covid goes away and business picks up they can start filling their pizza with the desired amount and shall I say required amount of toppings to make a $21 small pizza be worth it. read more

I've heard so many good things about this restaurant via the Salem Eats page and thought I'd check it out. I was so disappointed... I ordered the shrimp Alfredo and my husband ordered a mushroom pasta dish. We were both very unsatisfied with our choices. My dish looked like it was pasta from a box with 6 or so frozen shrimp placed on top with bland Alfredo sauce. The mushrooms on my husband dish weren't even cooked all the way. Service was sub-par. Maybe Salem likes this place so much for the pizza vs pasta dishes? We will not be returning. read more

Wonderful restaurant where the kindness of the owners and servers is really felt. Enjoyed the pizza, salad and wine list. Family-friendly with personal pizzas for the kids. read more

I am married to and Italian who makes great home made meals. Well now we have a second place to go. My first time at this lovely LOCALLY OWNED restaurant . Julie the owner is fantastic. (can sing too). We had Speghetti , Ravioli s ,and Lasagna, Delicious plus we had home made meat balls & yummy Italian sausage great flavor. Great Service. Great Food , Cannot miss here. read more

I was a little disappointed in our order from Geppetto's this evening. We ordered a stuffed crusted pizza and got a deep dish (however it was yummy). They charged me $2 for ranch dressing that was supposed to come with my free salad and gave me a slice of zucchini instead of cucumber. The chicken Alfredo had 4 slices for chicken and was very bland and loose. Lastly, the one meatball I ordered was very obviously frozen and not very tasting. The customer service was very nice, but if your looking for really good Italian food I would maybe look elsewhere. read more

Service was so so, waited for 5 minutes on-hold and I was told 20 mins and it took 30 minutes...so one star off. Food....I ordered a Stromboli with meatball and mushrooms...it was very very good. The meat, the sauce, all a good mix. I would have cooked it another few minutes to more crisp the crust, but that is only 1/2 point off. Add back a 1/2 point for the extra sauce and here you go! read more

I family took me here for Father's Day and it was horrible! Our server ignored us by not refilling drinks as we waited an hour and a half to get an incomplete order, my wife and son's food came out after an hour dried out and nasty. My pizza never came out. All they did was say that the pizza makers were slow. It's really disappointing that during Covid they asked for support and we answered but they truly did not care about us. Don't eat here it horrible!!!! read more

Went to dinner on Friday night. Stacy got us seated and was our server for the night. She couldn't have been better is she tried. Had great conversations with her too. She recommended almost everything lol. But put the emphasis on the items served with meat sauce. I got the ravioli & lasagna and my boyfriend had the spaghetti & lasagna. And I will say everything was absolutely divine. From the Italian sodas to the bread right to the main course. Everything was phenomenal. I can't wait to go back again and get a shirt this time! 10/10 recommend the food and staff! read more

This place was amazing Friendly & clean!!! Goood food!!! It was a nice surprise after a unfortunate experience at another Italian place near there read more

I am so upset about this that I waited a day before leaving this review. We called 30 min before closing just to see if it was possible to get something because we understand the time. We were told yes what would we like..., so we order.. and he says " I'm locking the door at 0:00 " and hung up the phone. We showed up 5 min till and the door was locked. we even knocked on the door. This was our favorite pizza place and don't understand Why they would do that to their customers. its our favorite read more

We had great food and great service at this restaurant. The decor and ambiance are warm and charming. We both had cannelloni and it was delicious. I really recommend this place! read more

Two of us ate around 6 on a Friday, place was active but not crowded. Service was attentive and overall pretty great. Chicken parmigiana was great, cannelloni Garibaldi was filled with savory sausage. Breadsticks with garlic butter were amazing. For dessert, salted caramel on the cannoli was satisfyingly indulgent. No real "OMG" factor, but a solid, delicious Italian restaurant. Will definitely try the pizza next time. read more

Absolutely the best thin crust pizza I have ever had. The crust was chewy rather than crisp which is what made it so amazing! They put the cheese on top of the toppings so it all cooks inside. It was incredibly delicious. read more

The food was just okay. I chose this place because I'm a sucker for house bread. The bread here is terrible. It isn't complementary and it tastes terrible. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Food very good... The sign as you enter says "we want you to be "RELAXED & COMFORTABLE" ... Well we were neither..Went in prior to 6 pm. Greeted at the door by a wonderful person. Sat at the table. Got the menu.. from there it was wait for order, wait for delivery of wine, wait a very long time, long time for food. Waitress very nice and skilled at smiling during what she knew was long. While waiting for food the a group in the back was having problems with a child that had a problem. Screaming and pounding on walls and table at a minimum of 40 minutes. Why do I say minimum, because it was exactly that. When the disturbance occurred it was about 15 minutes before our waitress said 15 more minutes for your food. We finally were served. We ate , we ordered an after dinner cocktail 15 minutes later. We received the drinks. Disturbance still happening, the Mom was trying to drag the child out of the restaurant, screaming all the while. Dragging her by the arms. I finally got the check. Took to the front desk. Re-read the sign, pointed out to the owner. Told her of the bad experience. She asked me what I would have done in regards to the screaming. I said I would have asked her to leave. She asked the whole family 10-12 . No the problem,after 10 not 40 minutes. The owner said I would not have to pay. I reach nicely to her arm to say. I not here to get a free meal. She said DON'T TOUCH ME . I said I meant no harm. After paying and tipping 20% she told me "" you don't have to come back " She will never have to worry about that. I have owned Restaurants. I understood the problems. I didn't understand the acceptance of delivering a very poor product. THE EXPERIENCE WAS NEITHER COMFORTABLE OR RELAXED. Try somewhere else! Exited Restaurant at 7:52 pm. read more

Great deep dish pizza. The family enjoyed the pizza the most. We all would definitely go back.

Such delicious Pizza! I accidentally ordered a pick up order while they were closed due to bad weather, they immediately called and told me they would be open later in the day and that I could get a refund if I wanted. I told them I was in no rush and to let me know if they opened. As soon as they did they called and put my order in, and offered free delivery due to the weather/delay! I'm pretty sure it was the owner himself who showed up to deliver my pizza. So impressed with the customer service and care in what they do. Besides all of that the pizza was phenomenal. Perfect balance of cheese and sauce and you can tell it's real, fresh mozzarella. Insanely delicious. I will only be ordering pizza from here from now on! read more

2nd time there, 1st time took 45 minutes to get food. this time, we got there and sat down at 5, took about 15 minutes to get our order taken, did not come back to check on us till about, 20 minutes later, filled my tea, that took a bit, finally got our food, or rather 2 of the 3 orders, around 6:30, both pizza were cold, told our waitress, she said they were holding the pizza's by the oven to try and keep warm, so she said she better bring them out. no idea why a pasta dish was not ready when the pizza's were, did not offer to take them back and put in oven for a few minutes or take one of them off the ticket, 15 minutes later got the last dish. for $80 dollars plus $12 tip, meal was not worth $50. hope you have better luck. read more

Gepettos hosted 40+ people this weekend from Salem hospitals Neuro-Trauma care unit. The service was phenomenal, Julie & Roger, the owners, were amazing to work with! They offered us a wide variety of options and services...we couldn't have been treated better! We were served salad, pastas and a variety of pizza. Everyone enjoyed themselves to say the least! I truly can't think of a better restaurant and owners to work with here in the Salem area! I can't thank Julie & Roger enough for the hospitality! Thank you so much! read more

We have lived in the Four Corner's neighborhood for a few years now and have ordered pizza from this establishment a number of times in the past. It has always been a higher quality pizza ,imo, because it HAS TO for ME. Just for the record, I am half Italian and my dad had two Italian restaurants when I was a wee lad back in the 60's so I am VERY picky about pizza and have only ordered it from two very select places here in Salem until NOW. THIS TIME IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!! I HOPE THE OWNER SEE'S THIS!!!! We have all experienced some "shrinkflation" over the past few years but this is HEINOUS!!!! IT WAS NOT COOKED LONG ENOUGH! THE @^%$# CRUST WAS NOT CRUNCHY AND THEY ARE NO LONGER USING MOZZERELA CHEESE, NOT TO MENTION THE SCARCITY OF TOPPINGS!!!! I COULD BARELY EAT TWO PIECES!! All that nothing pizza for $37 ?!?!?!??!?!! YOU PEOPLE CAN SHOVE IT..... read more

Employees were very outgoing and friendly. Food was very flavorful. We ordered a calzone and it covered the entire plate. read more

Very underwhelming experience. I had the shrimp Alfredo and it really seems like they just threw some sauce on noodles and called it a day. No seasoning at all. The pizza looked good and the waitress was nice. But there were four of us and three of us received our food way before the fourth person did. The prices were extremely high for what we got. Wouldn't go here again read more

Spaghetti tasted and looked like it came from a can of Raghu and they charge way too much. They aren't authentic enough for the price tag.. Caesar salad wasn't even Caesar salad. read more

Great service. Great food. Prices were very reasonable. The place was very clean and they had plenty of help. I will be going back.

Another establishment that has been in Salem forever and ever. We met my boyfriend's friends here because they love this place. Can't say I felt the same. I found it really odd that they put crunchy pretzel-type bread sticks on the table with butter. Not a combo I love. The salad that came with my meal was old school, with lots of iceberg lettuce, topped with shreds of carrots and cabbage. The raspberry vinaigrette was interesting, I think I liked it. For the main meal, I had spaghetti, which was okay, but nothing special. It was basically just meat, sauce and noodles, I've made better at home. The sauce was too intensely flavored, like they got heavy with the tomato paste. The bread served with our meal was very good and tasted like it was baked in-house. Service was fine. I'd be interested in trying their pizza or maybe the ravioli, but so far, mehhhhh.... read more

A delicious place for pizza. The pastas are what I would say sub par, eat at your leisure. The thin crust and thick crust classic pizzas are amazing, the meatball pizza (pictured) is my absolute favorite. Whatever pizza you do get it, you have to have the creamy ranch with it it is a blissful combination. read more

I have never made a review on a restaurant before but I just want to say if you are going to eat the pasta (any type) at Geppetto's DONT, my mom ordered raviolis and the meat inside tasted like the impossible meat from Burger King. The shrimp Alfredo i got basically had frozen shrimp and the sauce had no flavor and tasted like flour and milk. A lot of people were getting the pizza and it looked good but I won't be going back. read more

First time here greeted immediately, very friendly. We're given the background of the restaurant and it was amazing. Then service was down hill from there, saw our waiter twice, before the check. Hostess had to refill our drinks as we were drinkless throughout dinner. Waited well after dessert to even get our check. From a food standpoint, everything was exceptional. Shrimp linguini Alfredo was perfect as was the Chicago style pizza. No issues with food at all, will consider coming back with a different server. Can only recommend from a food standpoint and a the awesome lady that helped us from the start. read more

Geppetto's - Having a good time! - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

We ordered a thin crust pizza and the family lasagna and everyone enjoyed their dinner! The pizza was fantastic - reminds me of my favorite pizza place in MN (Poor Gary's) and the lasagna had lots of cheese and good layers. We'll be back! read more

Geppetto's has been one of Salem's oldest Italian restaurants and among the most recognized despite being hidden in the mall complex along Lancaster Drive. The family owned establishment features standard Italian fare including the popular homemade pizzas. While the service can vary at times, there is no denying the food is good, the decor is decent, and the prices are reasonable. Recommended for dinner time only, as lunch time the place is usually slow. read more

Had a Chicago style pizza as we heard the best was here at Gepettos in our hometown of Salem. It did NOT disappoint. I love how it has the sauce on the very top and the sauce was absolutely amazing. I loved every last bit of it. We will be back to try other types of food and pizzas. They even have dessert! Yummm!! They were pretty busy during COVID so I think others had the same idea. read more
