This is an amazing gem. Their homemade from scratch pizza is incredible. The gluten-free crust is perfect. Others in our party had the regular crust and they said it was perfect, also. The toppings are fresh. Five stars for sure. read more

I've been coming here as long as I can remember, even when it was a Grizzly Bear Pizza location. That's where all the Old West decor came from. I haven't been inside for at least a couple of years, so I don't know if they have changed the decor by now. My go to pizza here is the Mustang. It has Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, and Pepper Jack cheese. The mildly spicy cheese makes this pizza! I have been getting it with the Homestyle Pan crust lately, and that has been a good choice. It is nice and chewy, with a braided edge and a garlic/herb seasoning that is a great addition. This place isn't exactly cheap, and sometimes my order isn't totally correct or the toppings are a bit haphazardly arranged. But, to me, the Mustang is nostalgic comfort food at its best. I picked up one for my birthday this year and wasn't disappointed. Everyone I have introduced to this pizza still talks about it. For a solid pizza that isn't from a huge chain and brings back yummy memories, this place is at the top of my list in the area! read more

Very disappointed. They served others who ordered after me first. Then I get my order and it's not the right pizza. I imagine they gave my order to those who were served before me, but ordered after me. Staff was very unfriendly. All others had their name called or order brought to the window for them. No such service for me. Might have been a racial thing since I was only one of my race and the other dinners who all the same. I won't return. Sad to be treated this way. read more

Good home-town pizza parlor. GREAT pizza, good beverages and pizza parlor ambience, and friendly staff. Could stand for a bit of attentiveness to the dining area ("bus your own table" isn't exactly inviting) but the food and beer are great. read more

I am not sure if I was spoiled by the previous owners from the early 2000nds. But when they sold the place to the new owners it took a turn for the worse. DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY First customer on a Monday and there were garbage buckets by the food delivery window. In front of the counter. Trash on the floor. They had a special of pizza and salad. But the salad bar had old ripped up napkins and garbage bags in the ice well. The place has gone to the dogs. Grose read more

Delicious! Excellent service will continue to advertise by sharing the satisfaction of your wonderful service! Will tell my neighbors about the delicious food and wonderful service read more

Pizza is usually good. the only issue they have is consistency and price. Right now they have a chicken bacon ranch that is now 30 bucks a xlarge. They raised all their largest pizza's by two bucks. When we get the pizza either has too little chicken or too much sauce. Right now, the price increase is going to have us go elsewhere as it is too much to feed the family. Looks like extreme inflation may kill some businesses. read more

Good food but they can't read, I can't drink regular so I specifically asked twice to make sure they sent diet‍ read more

Mendi's Pizza - Good food but I guess they can't read, and I can't drink regular soda. - Pizza Near Me - Independence, Oregon

This place brought back a lot of college memories. I didn't go to school in the area, but every college town has to have at least one pizza parlor. So I'm sure this place is busy when Western Oregon University is in session. Visiting on a holiday weekend, however, we had the place pretty much to ourselves. I have to admit that I sort of enjoyed the Western atmosphere. Not authentic Western, more of a 70s interpretation of the old West. They have faux saloon doors at the entrance and the theme continues a bit on the inside. The restaurant also has four video games and the space is dominated by a large stove in the center of the room. Even though it is a decent sized pizza place, it is definitely set up for you to take your pizza to go. There is a drive thru window and a table set up with items to package your pizza or leftovers. The pizzas were both overdone and underdone. We ordered a BBQ Chicken pizza and Cheese and Pepperoni. Both pies were undercooked and the cheese was not fully melted. The BBQ chicken doesn't have marinated chicken, but instead the sauce is generously spread all over the top. The effect was over sweet. So the pizza was OK if you go in expecting just a basic pie. There is no subtlety here. Service was fine and they gave us the remote control so we could choose whatever we wanted to watch on the large flatscreen TV. There is a second room with more natural light, that would be a good choice for parties or private functions. In an area with more competition, this would be a two. But, having driven through Monmouth and Independence, there isn't much local competition, especially on a Sunday. read more

The only saving grace is the food is decent. However, they have terrible time management regarding deliveries & wait times. We have eaten here a few times & have had delivery called twice. Every time we always are reminded why it's not a consistent go to because although the pizza is decent the customer service is not the best. read more

Although the pizza is good and wings are great, I got very disgusted today. Drove up through the drive thru and you can visibly see a staff member eating chips and touching peoples food and making boxes without washing their hands. This was not a professional environment and believe management should take initiative. read more

My family and I ordered a giant pizza for delivery today and were very pleased! We got a half-and-half (something for the veggies and meat eaters) and the crust was medium thick and crispy on the bottom, and a nice quantity of toppings for the price. It only took a half hour from phone order to delivery, and the delivery driver was very friendly. Great value and delicious, we'll order from Mendi's again. I'm happy to have a great pizza delivery option in the area! read more

The pizza was good, love the thin crunchy type crust and the large salad was big enough for 3. It was very nice to pull up to a drive up window after a long day and grab a nice hot pizza. We had Canadian bacon and pineapple pizza with a side of actually ripe tomatoes which was good. Would love to try a combo pizza but part of our party was having a touchy stomach so stayed on the safe side. If we stay in this area again will definitely eat here. read more

I love Mendi's. The pizza is delicious and they have Arcade machines in the restaurant. Plus it just has an old timey feel to it as well. The service is great and it's also a great place to have a kid's birthday party. Would recommend. read more

This spot is pretty hit or miss for good pizza. It's usually really good, especially the BBQ Chicken pizza. Sometimes it seems like they leave the pizza in the oven for too long because the bottom of the curst is burnt. Overall pretty good. read more

Fresh healthy pizzas are here. There own recipe for doughs and sauces. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Not salty pizza!!! Well, you like salty one, you can ask extra sauce. Now I cannot eat the oily costco pizza any more. Kids friendly service and fun game machines for kids in the restaurant. They also have kind of kids group tour service. I'll be back here soon!!! read more

Been going to Mendis off and on for about 10 yrs. Was good prior to new ownership some time ago. Lots of complaints about quality and quantity of pizza finally got new owners to finally get back on track. Was good again for a while however tonight we found its back to being subpar. You can't put processed cheese on a $25 pizza and expect to keep customers. Sad to see it revert back to junk read more

About 6 weeks ago, we went for dinner. Pizza, spaghetti, wings, salad. Wings, inedible. spaghetti was tomato or pizza sauce and prefab meat balls. Pizza was average. Only high schoolers working, no adults in sight. Not sure what happened, but this isn't the Mendi's I've had before. Won't be back. :( read more

this place was great at one point but i feel like it's taken a downhill hit. it's just not good anymore. not sure if it's the ingredients or employees just don't care to put effort in making good pizzas anymore. read more

Good pizza in the older style ovens not a rollomatic like the hut or doms uses. Love their mustang. Place has been around for a long time and has a decent atmosphere and prices are not crazy. read more

Best pizza in town! And sweetest workers. Would definitely recommend their BBQ chicken pizza. Feels good to support a local business

Excellent job by Kaitlin and crew tonight. Delicious sausage, olive, mushroom pizza-loaded toppings and extra ranch! Great bbq wings too, we are very full and beyond satisfied! read more

Good pizza. If you are looking for local pizza that isn't a chain - this is the place to go. It does look old in the inside but their flavors are really good. You can't judge the appearance. It's like the saying don't judge a book by its cover. I've ordered their cheese breadsticks and #7 mustang pizza. I'm coming back! read more

Seriously these people need to go back to school for cooking. We ordered a large pan pizza and when we got home found it was very thin crust. Called and made our complaint. They stated they would remake our pizza but had to have the other one back. I stated could you at least deliver it to us for free. She said she had to talk to supervisor. Right....then she said it would be at least an hour or so before they could. I said that was not acceptable so she said I could come pick up in 20 mins. Went back to get it and I'll be damned by what they call a pan pizza this was basically the same dam pizza and they just put dough on the edge of it and cooked a thin pizza again. Oh not to mention the first one had burned crust. What a waste for a pizza place. This place gives pizza a bad name. Never going there again. I was so mad after I walked out the door and looked at the pizza that I wanted to go back in and throw it in their face. I strongly recommend you go somewhere else for pizza because they don't care about customers. read more

Used to love Mendi's, but recently their pizza has gone to crap. This past Sunday I ordered pizza, bread sticks and the new cinnamon bites. The cinnamon bites had no icing on them. At all. We were told the person who knows how to make it wasn't there..... I was still charged full price for them. As being someone who worked for a restaurant. I feel that is something everyone at the establishment should know how to make, or not be charged full price. read more

Service was excellent, I ordered wings, a veggie pizza and a pepperoni pizza. The pizza isn't anything fancy, it's just simply good homemade pizza. read more

If you love pizza, Mendi's is not for you. I happened to stop in there on my way home one day because I had a hankering for pizza. I had never been there before so I thought I might give them a try. The lady at the register was very nice. She made me a delicious and perfectly plated salad that was by far the best thing there. I like to ordered a veggie pizza which is a good way to tell if the cook knows what their doing. Veggies should not be raw or cold coming out of a pizza oven. Everything should be melty and piping hot. I couldn't taste any sauce , it had no flavor and the crust was terrible and clearly a frozen pre-made commercial product. Then the wings that I also ordered were the kind of frozen microwaveable wings that you can buy in a bag with some sauce drizzled on them. Terrible. If you want a real pizzeria....make the real deal. Have someone come in and make some dough...it's not that hard and let it sit and rise. Get plain chicken wings and marinate them in something fresh- we are surrounded by a bounty of ingredients, roast them until they have some char on them then toss them in a bowl of proper hot sauce for crying out loud! An update of the interior at the very least would be in order. If I owned that place I would personally put some effort into jazzing up the inside. It looks like an old saloon in there. Good luck with that. read more

Had plain sausage pizza this past Saturday. I love the thin crust and the sausage topping was great. This was one of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. Service was a little slow but worth the wait. read more

It took me months to finally try these guys because Pizza is so spendy(!) Anywho, glad I did. Good sauce, quality ingredients and quite yummy. Leaning towards the NY style, which is my ideal. I would love to see a few more topping options (fresh garlic, ricotta, meatballs?) However, I will certainly order again! Nice to have them in town, cool drive up window. read more

If you are in the mood for over priced pizza at a dingy, smelly establishment then look no further! Not only is costermer service a low priority but you can expect to have to ask for everything from sweetner packets to trying to get your kid's money back from the video games that take money and give nothing. Not only did I inform them the machine took my kid's money they actually argued with me about it and refused to make it right. All they did was tape a "not working" sign on it. Food and dirty dishes were on the table when we arrived for a birthday party and remained there for the entire hour and a half. Really, you can get better pizza and enjoy a better atmosphere at Papa Murphys' in Monmouth! Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Prices may be a little higher than I like for a college area, but this is probably the best pizza in town.

The restaurant is okay, but I usually order take out or have it delivered. Yum, yum. The Mustang is good, a little spicy, if they spiced it up, or made a whole new pizza that was super hot and spicy I would add a star! read more

Yum, much better than most! My friends and I took home a Mendi's pie to cap off an afternoon of wine tasting. Open your own bottle of Pinot noir and enjoy. read more

When I first walked in, it reminded me of my favorite place to go as a child. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is great. I had great service from everyone here. But, when I ordered my food, I paid a lot. I feel like I paid too much, actually. When the food came out, it looked decent enough. However, the wings I ordered were greasy and hard to eat. I've had better wings from a bar that were $0.25 each. The pizza was burnt and very dry. If you feel like spending $20 for a pizza, go somewhere like Yeasty Beasty or even Papa Murphy's. You'll get a better pizza for the same price or less. read more

This place use to be amazing. All time favorite was the Mustang. It use to have a spicy,tasty meat an cheese combo but now it's a shadow of its former self. A nice little addition is pineapple that we get put on it. An 3 outta 5 times they forget to add it. Now it's a roll of the dice to see if it's either gonna be great pizza or peanut butter jelly sandwich night read more

Favorite place to get pizza, hands down! Their tater babies are fantastic and the ranch is a must if you want that extra flavor, it is so good. You really cannot find pizza like this anywhere else, unique crust, just the right amount of sauce, delicious toppings and very good price, you may come close but there is nothing quite as great as Mendi's. read more

The pizza has changed, I had a slice for the first time in a cpl years and it was so-so sadly.

I grew up in Monmouth and this is the place I go to when I come home. Walk in the door and the place hasn't changed in atleast a decade. Feels like home! read more

I usually get it delivered. The drive (who I assume is the owner) NEVER remembers the parmesan cheese and red peppers. The price has gone up and the quality has gone down. The bread sticks aren't what they used to be. It would also be nice if they would turn their outside sign on at night. I understand trying to conserve electricity, but I have the inkling that's not the reason they keep it off. read more
