What People Are Saying About Old Town Pizza

Old Town Pizza offers old world dining and delivery. Whether dining at Old Town Pizza's historic restuarant location or having your meal delivered the old fashioned way (by tricycle), it's always good.
But, beware. Some say the restaurant is haunted.

In Short
A grand, wood bar and the order-window dominate the entry of this quaint eatery. Multicolored, stained glass lights hang over standard tables and booths. But families prefer sitting living-room style on antique sofas and chairs around coffee tables. Traditional and customized pies are served with medium-thick crusts, well-seasoned sauce and fresh toppings. The pesto special, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta, pesto sauce and pine nuts, and Caesar salad--big, fresh and garlicky--are popular items.

The reviews on this place are clearly mixed, but we had a discount coupon and gave it a try. The place has "atmosphere", to be sure, but the food was disappointing. Arrived on a Friday evening to find they were out of caesar salad, out of root beer (!), and a 40 minute wait for pizza. Ordering is confusing - stand in line to order, then take a playing card and head for the bar, where you order drinks and pay for the lot. Then compete for a table to open up. Tables are cramped with little leg room. Seats are quaint, but uncomfortable. Ordered a salad and veggie pizza. Salad arrived reasonably promptly, but very uninspired. Pizza arrived much later, not horrible but not that good (definitely better than Dominos, worse than many). Service OK but busy and stressed. Parking is a big problem, as noted elsewhere. The facility may be historic, but it is also run down. I don't think they have invested in it in decades. Overall, an unremarkable experience. They have better pizza in the freezer case at Safeway. If you go, go for the "atmosphere", but not for the food!

One of the more interesting pizza places in town. Their pizza tends to be a little on the greasy and garlic side, but not a bad pizza at all. They put mega toppings on which is great, but with the thin crust it can get a bit messy. It's good pizza, but it's also a lot of work.

We really enjoy this pizza. The location is interesting on occasion. There is always lots going on in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is unique and comfortable. The pizza is very good and service good too. It is a bit grungy around the edges but doesn't seem out of place since it is in old town. Sometimes parking can be challenging. Prices are good.
