    Loaded fries
    Kenneth G.

    Got recommended this place by a few people for their pizza, so decided to finally give it a go. Super nice staff with solid recommendations. Small, but great variety of beers. Had a delicious hazy IPA at the recommendation of one of the guys there. They had some cool little arcade games and pinball machines. Very old school cool pizza vibes. And a mystery set of stairs that I didn't explore but am intrigued about. Really dug the loaded fries. The pizza looked fantastic and was fresh, but there was something "off" about it that I can't quite put my finger on, but left me wanting more. Maybe I hyped myself up too much based on hearing so much about it. 3.5/5 but Yelp doesn't do halves.

    Paper in food.

    Megabite Hwy 99 Went for lunch today with two of my girls. We couldn't use any of the 5 high chairs for my 6 month old as one was covered in dried sticky sauce and the others were so sticky and covered in residue that we couldn't get them apart. A gentleman from a table nearby even tried. I went to the car and grabbed my stroller for the baby to eat in instead. We asked for a menu to take to the table so we could decide without a wiggly baby trying to escape, the menu was laminated and sticky, covered in visible food. Unfortunately I didn't see the paper menu by the counter till I went back up to order. My bad 100%, I need to be more aware. Tables were clean, staff was friendly enough, the restaurant fluctuated between hot and cool, for a second I was wondering if I was having hot flashes 10+ years early. lol Food: My loaded tots were brought out 5+ minutes before my daughter's pizza. They were also missing the sour cream but they remembered the ranch request. And my tots where stuck and I mean stuck to the paper in the tray. I've never had that happen. I'm literally picking out paper from my food. At least My teen was happy. Did I complain to staff? Not until I couldn't eat my food with out paper as an ingredient. They said that's just how they do it. What? They offered to remake it the exact same way, I ask for a refund and left the food. Kids already think I'm a Karen when I complain.

    Stopped in for a celebration pizza party over the weekend and finally got to try their pizza and jojos! I've been hearing such wonderful things about the pizza and food hear so I was excited to finally try it. The pizza was good. We had the pepperoni and also the combination. Both were thin crust but more chewy than crispy. We also had the mozzarella sticks and jojos. They mozarella sticks were good, nothing special. The jojos were just okay. I was disappointed because everyone raves about it and it tasted a little plain to me. Service was good, the staff was friendly. The parking lot for this establishment is very small and tight. The restaurant is small also but there is games inside for the kids to play. It felt like the air conditioning wasn't on because it got so hot inside, so one of the customers went up and turned the ceiling fan on above the table across from us. Overall, I don't think I'll be back. I prefer really crispy thin crust pizza and this wasn't really what I like. To each their own!

    Large 2 topping with chicken and red onion.  Adding cheddar is a nice touch!

    Clearly a local favorite. Lots of ambience, charm and a surprising amount of parking at the 99 Hwy location. Staff is very friendly and cheerful both on the phone and when you get to the counter to pick up your pie. The vintage arcade games give it an 80's touch while lending credence to their name. We were just doing takeout but there looked like a lot of large tables in there if you're with a group. P ordered their largest 2-topping with chicken and red onion. For almost $40 it's a pretty small pie that lasted one evening with a few small pieces left split between two people. I wouldn't call it thin crust exactly as the plentiful cheese and toppings stayed upright when you held a piece to take a bite and the crust had a cracker crunch to it which is great for some but not for us. We like it softer and chewier. Not a fault, just not our preference. The pizza also seemed to defy physics in staying warm. Even when fully nuked in the microwave, it never stayed hot for long and when we got it home, it was room temperature. It's been a challenge to find good pizza as newcomers to the Vancouver area and our findings were verified by a native New Yorker who helped us move and has lived here for over 20 years. So far we've only found one place that we liked (not loved) and it wasn't found here.

    When you are tired of having healthy fruits and vegetables all week, think of The Megabite for your junkie, American comfort food fix. They've got white flour starchy carbs. They've got greasy, meaty sauces. They've got gut-busting cheeses. You will need to be rolled out after your meal here. I'm not into junkie, unhealthy food, but when I'm craving a generous and well-prepared serving of fish-n-chips, I will think of The Megabite. The price on the online menu shows $8, but photo of my receipt shows it's closer to $15 in 2024. Video games are available to distract da kids while waiting for your food!

I love that you can get traditional pizza toppings or creative combinations. The flavor of the pizza is amazing and I have heard that the gluten free crust is considered better than the regular by some people. This location gets busy, so if you can swing an early dinner or a meal at a slightly off time, your wait to sit will be shorter. We came in a bit before 5 when the patio seating was open and got to sit right away. When they are busy, you might wait a bit for food, but the servers are friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the "something marvelous" (bbq chicken) and a pepperoni pizza (because kids) for our pizza. We also got the beets and burrata salad to start. This was more than enough food and we always take leftovers home. The weather was nice on the patio and you can see the waterfront and river from your seats. We've been here before. We will be back. I hope the Cuban style pizza makes it back on the menu...pizza with pulled pork and pickles? Yes!

    We ate at Ruse Brewing on our way down to Portland for the weekend. This was a beautiful day on the…read morewaterfront and there was no wait at 7PM on a Friday night, which we found surprising given how almost every restaurant on the street seemed to be full. We were told it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait for our pizza (I had to ask - the server didn't volunteer this information). It actually took 30. Dini Broccolini ($16) - We ordered this as an app. The dish includes a thick romesco sauce spread along the bottom of the plate. It's served cold and it's quite nutty (walnuts?) and peppery with a strong tangy umami. It's chunky with lots of small pieces blended in. On top of the romesco are three slices of crostini that are much thicker than average. They are completely dried out and crunchy like croutons. They salt the bread a ton; it's salty enough that my mouth felt like it was burning. The only warm thing on the dish is the broccolini, which is baked rather than charred. The texture is great and the seasoning level is perfect. On top of the veggies, they sprinkle pecorino and and breadcrumbs, for additional saltiness, umami, and a bit of crunch. (4/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Dial 'P' for Pepperoni ($26) - As always, I start with the base pepperoni pizza, the most classical Detroit-style pizza. The pizzas here are standard 4-square size (8in x 10in), cut into 6 pieces. Pricing is pretty expensive for this size - I'm used to 8-square (10in x 14in) pricing being around this much. Starting with the base crust - it's pretty good. It's crisp but not overly greasy, thinner and a little collapsed in the area with toppings, but still light and airy without being dense. It's super bubbly from frying in high heat and the crumb, especially towards the sides, looks great. It has a tasty buttery fried flavor. The cheese frico on the sides is underwhelming. While crisp, it's a little collapsed and flattened rather than having lacy, thin, uneven tops as with a great Detroit-style pizza. The bake on the pizza is also uneven, with one side much darker than the other. The darker side unfortunately burns the frico, which gives an unpleasant acridity on one end. On top, they add an appropriate amount of mild mozzarella. It's enough to give a slightly cheesy stretch, but isn't enough to feel overly heavy or rich. They then place pepperoni on top, which cups and crisps up. Again, they don't overload the pizza, so while salty, it's not overwhelmingly so like several other Detroit-style pizzas I've eaten recently. This all makes a pizza that give a really balanced bite. Unfortunately the sauce here is a miss. It's ridiculously tangy and acidic to start with somewhat of a metallic kind of flavor. It then descends into a really heavy overly concentrated flavor of dried Italian herbs. It's incredibly overwhelming, like they wanted to completely cover up the taste of bad quality canned tomatoes* but failed. The dried herbs are followed up with a slight heat that warms the mouth, probably from red pepper flakes mixed in. On each slice of pizza, they place a giant spoonful of sauce, which is unfortunate given that I didn't enjoy the sauce. I think they should revisit their tomato sauce recipe. It's one of the worst Ive had in a while. Luckily, it's not a huge part of the pizza. (3.5/5) Overall the pizzas have some major weaknesses. My review reads very critical, but I think the pizzas are still quite tasty and will satisfy most people. Still, I personally wouldn't return given the better options for Detroit-style pizza across the river. *Note: They use Valoroso canned tomatoes from Stanislaus, which is a company many places in Detroit also use. I doubt the quality of the tomatoes are actually bad. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

It was my favorite pizza! And even an emotional, yes emotional connection to this pizza. If you've ever had it, you'd know just how incredible this pizza is. Welp, fast forward 40 years. I've lived all over. Settled in Camas, WA. Never finding a pizza that is even close to HomePlace.... Well SOB!! I found it at Barrel Mountain! I took a bite... All my childhood memories rushing back. The crust, the flavor, the crispness and fluffiness in the crust. A tear is shed as I look across the table to my wife as she asks... well, similar to HomePlace (for the 109th time). OMG.. it's the same babe! Ahhhh! just overjoyed! The server (Desere) comes around... how y'all doing? I shed another tear and ask... have you ever been to Silverton, OR? Yes! she replies. I ask - you ever been to HomePlace Pizza? She responds, yes!! and did you know that Don who is the owner of HomePlace taught us EXACTLY how to make that pizza here?!? He taught us how to make the crust, the cooking time, the sit time and even the oven! My jaw drops! I knew it! It is HomePlace pizza! Long story short... Desere is an AMAZING and the friendliness server! And yes, hands down best Pizza on this side of the river! My soul is complete

We both agreed this is the last time we'll come here. We came in and were greeted and immediately seated by the host. He was friendly and welcoming. They weren't super busy, but busy enough for a Saturday lunch crowd. It took him awhile to get our drink order, so when he finally came to take it, we went ahead and ordered our food as well. We decided on the bacon cheeseburger with chips, and the reuben with fries ($3.50 extra for fries). I've never understood the extra cost for fries vs homemade potato chips?! The chips have been hit or miss in the past, so we usually order fries for one entree just in case. Our food took about 45 minutes. Seemed way too long. Our server never came back and asked for refills on beverages during our visit either, which was disappointing. My burger looked good, but super greasy, even the bun was greasy on top. Maybe it was brushed with butter?! The burger dripped with grease while eating it. The chips were saturated in grease as well. Some of them so much they weren't crispy at all. Our server was nowhere to be found or I would have complained. They were left on the plate. My husband didn't like them either. He ended up sharing his fries with me. My husband liked his reuben, but the bread was burnt on the bottom. You couldn't tell at first look, only once it was picked up to eat. It had plenty of meat, cheese, peppers and onions. He enjoyed it overall. The fries were good too. Much better than the chips. The restaurant was clean when we walked in, but during our visit many tables were left dirty for far too long. Not sure if they were in the middle of a shift change, but it seemed like no one was around to clear plates or refill beverages. Someone from the kitchen eventually came out to get us our bill. Our plates were still on the table when we left. Overall a disappointing experience. There are far too many restaurant options in this area to spend $65 on lunch for mediocre, at best, food and service. We will not be returning.

In addition to pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers, they've added a Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese, spinach artichoke dip and ice cream floats. They have a nice variety of beers and ciders. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We love their QR code ordering system. It helps you get your food faster and you can just pay your tab on your phone. Such a convenience! You can also make reservations online, which is great for large parties. As others have mentioned, it is located in an odd industrial area set back from the main road. It's easy to miss if you're not watching for their sign. There's plenty of parking and a large outdoor seating area during the summer. Their food prices have gone up, and some items seem a little steep now, but that seems to be happening everywhere nowadays.
