Pizza is great, drink selection is good, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Â They have great specials during the week and it is a fun place to meet up with some friends, order some za, and drink a few beverages from their rather extensive beer list. Â
Although their menu is not expansive, they are good at what they offer. Â Ever Tuesday is Trivia night (a blast) and they usually have live music on the weekend. Â
For a fun time at a great price, Oregon Express is worth your time!
I ended the night here on a recent Friday based on a recommendation from a tipsy friend we made earlier in the evening. Â There was a female-fronted blues band playing to a small crowd. Â The band did a great job, and the layout was nice for listening to music. The server was in a good mood and took good care of us. Â Bathrooms weren't immaculate. Â I would definitely come back to listen to music again.
Review Source:The pizza is excellent! Thin crust and cut into little squares. Personally I think the Hot Hawaiian is the best but plain old cheese is great too. My husband and I are normally at Oregon Express to see Uncle Rico play so we usually come down a little early for some pizza and beers then enjoy the show. I would stick with beer here as there other drinks specifically the Martinis are not that good and overly priced.
Review Source:This place has come a long way since we moved to the neighborhood in 2002. Currently, they have 50% off specialty pizzas for dine in on Mondays and 25% off Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The three taps they mention used to be Bud, Bud light and Amber Bock, so the fact that they are actually craft/micros is a step up. They have a small wine list by the bottle starting around $17 (including the likes of Woop Woop Shiraz and an Italian Chianti), though you can get splits by the glass for under $5.
Personal favorite amongst their pizzas is one that isn't on the menu---we made it up and call it "Meat-a-licious," which is basically code for all-meat pizza. Â We ask for it in hushed tones when we're with our vegetarian/vegan friends, but as a carnivore, it is a fave. Our only gripe is that it is our corner neighborhood bar, and paying $5 cover on a weekend when they are half-full, and we just want to buy a beer...well, we head down the street at that point.
