    Large Pepperoni and Jalapeño pizza
    Sonia S.

    Havent been here since my childhood. The place seems to have changed a bit, but is still pretty old school. There is lots of space to have parties and gatherings. Wondering if it ever gets that busy anymore. Kind of nostalgic really...they have one pinball machine--but it likes to eat your money and several other video game machines that you don't see much anymore. Pizza is okay--not the worst and not the best. Has quite a bit of cornmeal on the bottom of the crust and a familiar taste of old school pizza that you don't taste at many pizza joints these days. We enjoyed the pizza and the fried mushrooms. They have beer and soda by the glass and pitcher which is nice.

    Burnt pizza

    I've been going to JC's pizza for years. I've always had great service and great quality pizza. Unfortunately, yesterday we had a horrible experience with the pizza. We did a carry out. When we got home in Oregon City we open the pizza box and the pizza was burnt. The pizza was hard and the cheese was burnt as can been seen below. I am very disappointed with the quality and I don't now if I will be returning if this is the quality I can expect. I would have taken the pizza back but it's a drive down to Keizer. With the cost of everything so high, quality is very important to me with anything I buy and the quality of this pizza was horrible.

    Sticky hands stuck on ceiling, dirty vents.

    Aside from the prices, this place hasn't changed one bit. Very vintage 70s/80s pizza parlor look. Food is decently good, but only when freshly baked and fried. This restaurant could use a make over and really change the game. Good for kids and large groups.

    Well kind of looks like just a cheese pizza - was so burnt the cheese was just rubbery ‍

    This place is a joke - pay 40.00 bucks for a burnt pizza , chicken wings we just old looking and not even warm - This happened yesterday at about 9pm called my order in and this is what I get when I get home!!! Also my wife posted a complaint on there Facebook page with pictures- someone responded to her saying it was unacceptable on the pizza we got and to contact them so they could TRY and fix the issue . The next day my wife's post has been removed and they blocked her from the Facebook page - just goes to show what kind of company this is!!! Don't be embarrassed because your employees put out a bunt pizza and nasty quality pizza .... STAY FAR AWAY!!!!! RUN to a different pizza place .... Chuck E Cheese is probably better then here ‍

    The food was mid, like save the money & buy a frozen pizza mid. Remember to order ranch because you could tell the best part about the workers day here are telling people ranch cost extra if you know what I mean lmfao. The service? I get people can have a bad day but every time we've gone, we've had unnecessarily rude interactions with workers here. The first couple times have been young girls working the counter that would rather pretend they don't see you at the counter, then the last couple times the same man working the counter clearly didn't give a damn about working. If you like ice (especially on a hot day) they'll be stingy with it if they even remember to serve you your sodas lol. The ambiance/ environment? Well, when the bathroom doesn't stink up the area like sewage water the building straight up smells old...if you know what I mean. The building was very quiet and not busy at all every time we've been in. Why have a tv if you won't even have it on during business hours in the first place? No music either? The rooms have christmas decorations still in the middle of July like it was very bizarre and not a cheerful joint at alll; there's plenty of other pizza places to check out and try in the area fs. Seems like it used to be a busier place but it's definitely ran down. There's a little arcade which is Im sure how this outdated pizza parlor stays open.

    With so many great options for food in the area, I got a little anxious checking Yelp, but I am so…read moreglad that this is one of the places I decided to stop during my limited time here. I primarily chose this spot because they have a really nice outdoor patio area so I knew I would be able to sit with my dog and eat and enjoy the weather. What I didn't know was that it had Salem spelled out in colorful letters in the front which made for an awesome photo opportunity. I was really excited to find that. When you walk inside, it has this really bright, colorful, unique decor. There is something interesting to look at no matter where you turn. They offer free samples which I really appreciate because it personally makes it easier for me to decide what I want and it definitely encouraged me to buy more cheese! My favorite sample was the queso cojeda enchilado. It had a rich tangy flavor. I ended up ordering a torta with some chips and grabbed a few different salsas from the salsa bar to try. The food was good and I couldn't leave without buying some of their smoked Oaxacan cheese to take with me. Let me tell you, it only lasted me 2 days. I wish I had bought more. As I was buying the cheese, I saw a family enjoying some ice cream cones and I had to try their ice cream as well. This place has everything. I got a cone of the Oregon mint and honestly I think it might be one of the best flavors of ice cream I have ever had. It was so fresh and flavorful and I was actually sad when I started getting to the bottom of the cone. If you're an ice cream person, you have to try it. They also gave me a card for a free game of bowling at Northgate Bowl which I thought was a really neat bonus. I wasn't in the area long enough to use it, but if we had been staying longer I definitely would have tried out the bowling as well. This is exactly the kind of local business I want to support. It's warm, welcoming, and most importantly, all of the products that they are putting out are fresh, delicious and made with love.

This time, we were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we walked in. This is not unusual. We were seated immediately and our server approached promptly. Her name was Laramie, (super cool name), and she was friendly, happy, and very efficient. I had the smoked cheddar burger. This was the first time I had ordered it. It was so darned good!! It's a double patty burger with cheese, bacon, and all of the fixin's. It comes with a side of one's choice. I had the Jo-Jo's along with it. They were awesome too! They are wedged potatoes with a flavorful coating and then fried. Oh my goodness!!! So good! The restaurant is very clean, open spaces and decorated nicely. It's one of those places where you want to look around to see the fun things hanging on the walls. Nice but not overdone. Prices are good, right in there with many other restaurants and completely worth it for quality of their food and for the quantity that you get. I'm a big eater but I still had to take some home with me. I highly recommend stopping in for a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed!

The local beer options were excellent , and Corbyn (who waited on us) was so great with information on pairings and recommendations with orders. The beignets are sinful. There should be no way on this big blue, green, white, brown marble we call Earth, that the only place in the world that makes the most incredible beignets is located 700 miles from where I reside. It's not fair. Do yourself a favor if you're visiting. Go in. Bask in the music curated by the staff, enjoy local beers. Savor the most incredible fried chicken since before Harland Sanders sold out. And most of all, indulge in all of the glory that is the multiple varieties of beignets that will make you hope there is an afterlife. And that if you've been a solid person, and karma smiles on you, the view you see from your resting space is whatever beach, lake, mountain, stream, river or desert that brought you peace, and a massive plate of said beignets.

We split a Monte Cristo sandwich and the Biscuits and Gravy…read more The monte Cristo is basically a big beignet with meat and cheese in the middle, could have more meat but overall was very satisfying and the dipping mixed berry coulis (jam) paired wonderfully. The Cajun biscuits and gravy had a lil spice to it but was reasonable for a white girl. The biscuit itself was house and exceptional. The gravy was very rich and a little on the thick side. The sausage bits were a little overdone but wonderful flavor, I personally like them A little charred. Coffee was a 10/10, it's just a hot black coffee but they provide a cute little serving of half and half. Plus, it's free refills so yay, love that! The staff were nice, helpful, attentive, and I dare say fashionable I think my two favorite things about this place are: 1. Small menu. Are you just a girl in the world suffering from decision fatigue? Come here. Menu seems to be seasonal as well. 2. The vibe is so cute, otter portraits and decor, elegant colors, and excellent music for everyone. Biggest draw back: food is a little heavy ‍ but makes the soul light I would come here again!

All of the food is done family style: - Clams Galicia: with tomato, chorizo, bacon broth. This broth as amazing. I literally drank it with a spoon - Pan con tomate: slightly different from classic preparation - more flavorful and heavier on the toppings - Salmorejo: tomato and bread puree, Serrano, jammy egg - like a creamy gazpacho - Grilled asparagus: with whipped ricotta and a cured egg yolk - Squid ink pasta: with hazelnuts, caramelized onions, peppers, and a runny egg yolk, a bit spicy.

I would definitely recommend the squid ink pasta and the clams if you're in town!
