1 star - 5 stars for the bartender, -4 stars for the restaurant.
My suggestion - SKIP THIS PLACE!
If you're in dire need of pizza, buy it next door at PC Market of Choice. But, DO NOT go to this Pegasus pizza location. Here's why...
When you first walk through the door, you find a great looking location. It is bright and friendly. They really did a good job of converting the prior restaurant (Black Rabbit), which was dark and stuffy, to a friendly pizza place atmosphere. In addition, they kept the bar around back, which serves beer and wine.
However, the experience goes down hill from there...
If you're really lucky, you'll be greeted by a host / waitress who is friendly and outgoing - I think she said her name is Morgan - she came back to our table three times to see if we were in need of anything, and if the food was to our liking. She was very professional and very friendly...
However, If you're not so lucky - which is more likely the case - you're going to be greeted by a not so friendly host / waitress - she wasn't actually around long enough for me to catch her name - if I were to describe her, she's shorter, has brown hair, medium build....
Honestly, I'm not sure why this other person is even in the service industry - she's rude, and incompetent. She greets you with a fake smile, and an even more fake 'sit anywhere you like' greeting. After the initial oh-so-awkward moment, she'll follow you to the table you choose, throw the menus on the table, and briskly walk off. (it was such an awkward moment, we even discussed amongst ourselves if we had sat at a 'the wrong' table, or what we might have possibly did to piss this person off)
As if enduring this person as our host wasn't enough, we then have to endure this person as our server! Oh my! After waiting for what seems like an eternity, she finally arrives at our table to take our order. (we discuss what she might be busy with, as there are only two tables occupied in the entire restaurant)
Our pizza arrives at the table...and what do we find? it's made wrong! (this starts the discussion of how hard can it be to put two ingredients on a pizza, with a third ingredient on half?)
In addition to that discovery, we go to serve the made wrong pizza, only to find it's burned on the bottom and around the edges! Burned? Seriously? I'm 90% sure our pizza was the only pizza in the oven! How do you burn the only pizza in the oven?
However, we're starving...so instead of sending the pizza back, and enduring what I can only describe of as a troll of a host / server, we decide to eat the ingredients off of the top of the pizza with our forks...
And so ends our first experience at Pegasus Pizza on Willamette...
Wanting to give the place more than one chance - we have visited the campus location over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed the food and service there - we decide to go back a few more times...
Here is a summary of our visits...
Friendly professional host /server - 1 out of 7 visits
Rude troll unprofessional server - 3 out of 7 visits
Friendly professional bartender server - 3 out of 7 visits
Wrong pizza - 2 out of 7 visits
Burned pizza - 4 out of 7 visits
And although the prior experiences had been an overall poor experience, we decide to give Pegasus Pizza on Willamette one last chance...what follows, is a description of that experience...
We arrive to find the place fairly busy in comparison to the past - which really surprises me, considering our past experiences....We walk in the front door - and since there is no one at the register (in the front) - we seat ourselves. Hoping to avoid 'the troll host / server', we seat ourselves in the last table below the television, across from the bar.
The bartender comes over (he's very professional and friendly), greets us with a smile, gives us water, then takes our order. (we both look at each other and talk about how hard it must be, to be professional, and take your craft to the next level, yet only to be stuck in an environment such as this)
We're waiting for our pizza, and enjoying our conversation, when we see 'the troll host / server' walking toward our table - gasp! She arrives at our table - and in a voice that I can only describe as a step sister scolding Cinderella - she tells us, 'I need you to move and make room for three children I don't want to sit in the bar'. Stunned, we reluctantly move into the bar. (we ask ourselves, did we really just get asked to move from our table? in 20 years of eating out, we can't recall ever being moved from a table we were sitting at..wow)
Hoping to salvage this last experience, we get our pizza to go...
So we get home, open the box, and what do we find? A burned pizza!
Absolutely hilarious! We couldn't have written a better ending to our experiences with Pegasus Pizza on Willamette...
