Always had good pizza. They are not fast usually cause of how busy they are all the time. I get pizza to go since it's a fully open inside and can get very noisy. Only order on occasion due to price but I like the thin crust pizza and cup pepperoni. The sliced fresh tomatoes they add are always fresh. I've tried all the others and they are by far my favorite in South Salem. read more

This review is for the South Salem Padington's Pizza. I don't usually leave reviews but this was absolutely the worst pizza I have ever had. The crust was thin and like hardtack cracker. No taste whatsoever. The sauce was just a red color on the crust. No moisture in it at all. If it wouldn't have had green peppers on it there would have been no taste at all. Very, very little cheese. For $35. I expected much better. 7-11 Pizza is better and that is sad! My first time eating it and I won't waste money on them again. I did get waited on quickly and the pizza came out pretty quick. They were very busy. The pizza itself was the only disappointment. read more

I haven't been to Paddington's over 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised to see they now have vegan cheese. I got a vegan with mushrooms. It was pretty tasty. The place was as I remembered. Family friendly with a constant hum in the background, hard to hear each other. But it is one of its charms. read more

Padington's Pizza - Vegan cheese with mushrooms. I already devoured half lol - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Ordered online with 30 minutes to go till pickup. The confirmation email says it will be ready the next day. What? I paid already. Called the place and listened to elevator music for ten minutes. Manager comes on and says the online ordering places the time of ready based on order volume. I said "you must have too much business" refund please. read more

The pizza is amazing. The customer service is ok. I dream of this pizza it has the perfect crisp and they actually put cheese on it. I got the special it was 27.99 two topping and asked if I could add another topping if I pay for it. the lady wasn't too happy with me asking that and said no I cannot do that. Was sad about it but still it was good. read more

Always loved Paddington. But the last couple of times it has really gone down hill. They had to have changed something. It has no flavor at all! Gonna have to look for a new pizza place in Salem. Not gonna pay $40 for a pizza if I can go to Dominos and get a better pizza for $9.99. read more

Flies everywhere was awful dine in experience. Taco pizza had barely any meat on it and when you could find a piece it was the tiniest little ground beef with absolutely no flavor. The price definitely doesn't match the quality. The hood over the pizza ovens seems very inadequate as the staff was working in a very Smokey area, so bad smoke is coming out into the lobby where you order and pick up to go orders. read more

Quality pizza! Best thin crust pizza and toppings are delicious. Service is great and the environment is old time fashioned feeling. Love the old saloon type atmosphere. I've been coming here since I was a kid with family and it's been a favorite place and the pizza is so good read more

I just don't get it. $24 for a cheese pizza baked on premade crust with thick chewy cheese and eh sauce. Plus, really bad customer service and disorganized ordering. Person next to me had ordered and paid online and was directed to the back of the ordering line so her pizza was cold. They were out of plates so we had to eat with napkins. That's right, no plates, which are paper anyways. Just have one of those phone addicted teen workers walk 100 feet and buy some. Who serves pizza without even a paper plate? The pizza was small, took forever and was not as good as DiGiorno. Which is 7$. Choose that and use your own plate. And don't have to wait 30 mins to be sad. read more

Ever since Troy left .... Things ain't been the same :/ So much potential They shoulda name this place T-R-O-Y's pizza read more

Although we love the pizza it was crazy to spend $65 on 2. It's been years since we've eaten inside, mostly takeout. All was good!

I used to love Paddingtons pizza. Innyhe last year or so their crust has changed. It's soggy, flat, flavorless. Used to be a bubbly crispy on the outside crust. I recently went back. I ordered a large pizza. It was $42! The pepperoni still had the rind on it, so it was like chewing on small rubber bands. I mentioned it to one of the owners. She said they were aware of it, but had recently switched pepperoni suppliers to Hormel. This is how they received it. She said they are working with Hormel to resolve the issue. She stated that Hormel stated the rind was safe for consumption. They are going to use it anyway. They are aware of it. So, they'll continue to sell an inferior product, until it's gone. They know it's a problem, but will continue to charge you an outrageous price for a inferior product. That's all I need to know. I'll find another pizza. Walerys is outstanding! read more

The absolute worst pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was like a greasy cracker. Way over priced. Two anchovy pizzas for $72.00! I guess some one has to pay for the coke the staff were doing in the men's room. read more

Fast service, nice kids running the place. It's that crispy crust pizza with cold tomato slices Oregonians like and I don't understand. If you like that kind of pizza, you'll like it! It was the only place in spitting distance with a vegan cheese option. read more

We were a party of six who came at lunchtime for our first time. Being unfamiliar with the menu we needed help. Marie was the most helpful and kindest ever server. We had the most wonderful pizza and the lunch specials were very reasonable. Thank you, Marie. We will be back! read more

Flavor went off! In the past this was by far my favorite. The last pizza I had was way different. Hardly any of those awesome cupped pepperoni. I may be done with Padingtons, sadly.sorry.I was addicted to Angelos Pizza in the 80's then Padingtons... I'm good with Papa Murphy's now, a lot less money too! read more

Absolutely disgusted, my family took in for my birthday they forgot to reserve our table we talked for the day before. The place was filled with a smoky haze, everyone was talking about around us. Are the vents for the ovens not working correctly? To top it off its over 100 degrees outside and the air-conditioning isn't working correctly, or at all. I asked kne of the workers about he said it hasn't been working in a while. Really you can't fix an air conditioner for your customers? This is ridiculous I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Went to Padington's again to try it again. Was very pleasantly surprised. It was like the old Padington's. Pizza was good service was better not great but better than the last time we were there! The restaurant was busy and everyone seemed to be enjoying their pizza. Will go back and try again. read more

By farPaddingtons Pizza is the best in town hands down!! I mainly get mine to go but when I don't the atmosphere is ideal and their pizza is always perfect like the (Humdinger) if you like lots of meat... In order of best pizza in town in my opinion is: 1) Paddingtons Pizza. 2 in Salem. 2) Walerys Pizza in West Salem. 3) Pietro's on Hawthorn St. 4) Odd Mo's South Commercial take out only but good to eat anywhere anytime. read more

I am surprised at the positive reviews. Maybe it used to be good? Maybe there's actually no good pizza in this town? It was at least two hours before closing and chairs were stacked up on the tables in the front of restaurant. I get that they were probably trying to close off a section, but maybe do it a different way. We ordered pizza and a salad, and after we were handed the salad, the cashier said "we're out of forks, sorry." Uh, how do you expect us to eat the salad then? Thankfully, we asked the bartender and he got us some forks. Pizza was on a thin, cracker crust with a bland sauce. Bonus--you can select either fresh or canned mushrooms. (Is that a bonus? I don't know.) The ambiance also wasn't great. My search for a good pizza place in Salem continues... read more

Maybe the best pizza in the area. If you like thin crust pizza this is the place! Been going here for years

Have been going to Padingtons Pizza South for years, hasn't been the same since Troy is gone. We try at least once a month , constant new employees ,pizza hit and miss, maybe one out of three times if that, its good. Tonight asked for light cook which is don't make the crust so well done its burnt. It was horrible, hardly any sauce and super thin, crust and toppings barely done, ordered canned mushrooms got fresh. Not at all the way it used to be. $ 36.00 for a crappy pizza, ridiculous I have to say we keep trying , but I am done for now Suzanne M. 2/6/2025 read more

A small is $18. That's expensive for a wafer thin crust, with no taste of any sauce anywhere in the pizzas. I just felt like I got ripped off. First and Last time customer, here. I asked for a small Pepperoni and Sausage, which doesn't exist there. I had to order a different pizza and they substituted the olives for sausage. ??? My son ordered a Cheese pizza. It was so thick with cheese that the pizza looked undercooked. My son didn't complain other than to say it was messy. Service is non-existent. You order and pay at the counter, they call your name when it's ready and you go get it. It took 30 minutes for 2 small pizzas to be ready. We went on a really bad day. Packed with people who moved a bunch of tables together which blocked my families access to the pickup counter, and anywhere else (emergency exits?). They should install booth tables. Pizza Now pizza, just down the street, is better pizza in my opinion. read more

Try the Bandito, no tomato - substitute olives!! ONE OF THE TOP 5 PIZZAS, I've ever had! INCREDIBLE!

Paddingtons has always had really good pizza. It's the best in the area. Today we went in for the lunch special. The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The lunch special is one of the best values around. The gentleman gave me a punch card, which was an added bonus for an already wonderful value. As we were leaving, a very sweet lady told my son to pick a prize from the prize chest. He was ecstatic about it. This was a really pleasant experience. read more

Pizza is thin crust and consistently delicious. Service is consistently polite and mistake-prone. Check your pizzas to make sure they are correct before you leave the restaurant. If you eat in, expect the same chairs and tables that apparently every pizza restaurant uses. Nothing particularly memorable except the huge tv (usually tuned to sports) over the fireplace. read more

Generous toppings and nice crispy crust. Prompt, friendly service. Happily surprised based on previous reviews. Enjoyed it. Would visit again read more

What happens when you hire snotty kids . Trash quality , trash service . Over priced pizza and overpriced salad and ranch .

They have the best pizza at reasonable prices...it's my go to place when I'm in town! Great selection too!

Made our first trip to Padington's and it didn't disappoint. I love the vintage pizza parlor vibe. Reminds me of the one's from my childhood. Pizza was fantastic and leftovers are always great the next day! We arrived just before the crowd showed up on a Friday night. The only criticism I have is the lack of a pinball machine and more beer choices. Will definitely be returning:)) read more

Ordered here for the second time in 5 years. The first time I was just underwhelmed and thought the sauce tasted too sweet. This time the toppings were sufficient on some slices and barely on other slices. The quality of the cheese was low. It was extremely overpriced for something I could have made better at home. read more

Padington's Pizza - Olive Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Still the best pizza in Salem for my money. I know they have struggled since Covid to get back to consistency in service but despite that, they crank out great pizza. The crust is thin and crispy and toppings are generous in the best way. I prefer to eat in vs takeout just because it is always better fresh out of the oven. Their lunch pizzas are THE BEST! There is something nostalgic about this place especially if you have lived in the area a long time. If you haven't and are visiting I highly recommend! read more

Best original pizza ever! Get the lunch pizzas! Hubby and I order 4 lunch size pizzas and have plenty of leftovers for two lunches the next day. And we are big eaters read more

Sooo good. A lot like Pietro's. Great crust. Really cute inside. Love the smaller individual pizzas for when you and your group don't agree.

Overpriced took them 2 hours for our pizza to be done. Basically $3 for a small cup of ranch. And quality has gone down so much now.

A favorite of ours when we are traveling up I5 to visit friends and relatives. As always the pizza was outstanding. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese and toppings. The service was friendly and efficient. Love the old school pizza parlor vibe. The soft drinks served in cold frosted mugs is a great touch! read more

Absolutely outstanding! I don't make it to Salem much anymore, but found myself lucky today. For years I have refused to travel to Capital City without a stop to Padington's. Today's trip did not leave me disappointed. I appreciate the quality ingredients, and abundance of them, that go into each pizza. There is a consistency of quality with this establishment I have become quite fond of over the years. I have never experienced poor quality food or a lack of customer service at this amazing pizza parlor. 1978 is when they opened, sadly I was not aware until the late 90s. Once I found it i was sold. Thank you for being a staple of Oregon food and the quality that people expect in our region. I look forward to my next pizza. read more

Padington's Pizza - Order two and be sure you bring some home! - Pizza Near Me - Salem, Oregon

The pizza here is my favorite in town right now. Unfortunately it is overpriced unless you can catch the lunch special. And that's the only special your gonna get. I never see ANY promotions or coupons for this place. Customer service seems nice enough at the counter but the owner and the boys making pizza just have blank stares and never smile. Seems to be a high staff turnover. I also think it is a shame to not take advantage of technology. Why they don't deliver seems a failure. My guess is the owner does not want the insurance responsibility. Well at least hook up with door dash or grub hub. Maybe you would have more business and cut some pizza cost. read more

We bought one medium gluten free pizza and one large reg. pizza. Our bill was $65.00 just for the two pizzas...and the GF one was burnt on the whole bottom! Our family used to go to Paddingtons for every occasion when George owned it and then when his son took over. Sadly they are both deceased and probably rolling over in their graves at what there goldmine has become. It's so sad to see a great place go so far down hill. We will most likely never go back there again! read more

Over priced, just so so pizza. If you like thin burned pizza, this for you. Go to Safeway, buy a bag of pepperoni, slap it on a Dominos and be 20 bucks ahead. read more
