  Ok, we've gone back and Papa's Pizza redeemed themselves. Perhaps the last time I was there they were having an off-night. lol
  
  In any case, the pizza was good again.

  Meh, pizza was ok, salad bar was ordinary. Kids play area is self contained but it smells like dust and is old. The biggest problem is the cost... I could go to pizza hut for half the price and twice the taste

  Papa' Pizza is one of the few places where you can go for good food and can send your kids off to play - just for some peace and quiet or to visit with friends/family.  
  
  By far, Papa's Pizza has the best Taco Pizza.  Our family also enjoys the unique flavor and zing of the Mt Bachelor.  
  
  Sign up for text and get specials as well as weekly deals like $5.95 lunch buffet.  Can get crazy when crowded but the kids always have fun.
  
  Our favorite spots are the Coburg Rd (Eugene) and the Corvallis locations.

  Last Saturday we found ourselves in the "other" home of The Simpsons - SPRINGFIELD...Oregon! While I didn't see Professor Frink, Comic Book Guy, or Disco Stu, I think I may have seen Cletus the slack-jawed yokel!
  
  Actually, Papa's pizza place seemed to be the perfect place for The Simpsons - they had video games (including "Cruisin'" and some shoot-em-up games) for Bart, an indoor playground w/ball pit to dump Maggie in, a salad bar for Lisa, an old timey pipe organ for some lovely music for Marge to enjoy, and plenty of beer for Homer...sadly, no Duff though.
  
  I firmly believe that every suburban town in the country has a pizza parlor like Papa's. Old fashioned 70's era wood decor, indoor/outdoor carpeting abounds, banquet room for parties, video game alcove, post little league/pee wee football/soccer practice (or in our case junior roller derby) kids running amok, adults relaxing with fine alcoholic beverages, waiting patiently for that most cost-effective and crowd pleasing of meals - pizza.
  
  Speaking of pizza, Papa's is good...very good. In fact, I'd say this goes right up there in the mix as one of the top 5 pies I've had anywhere in Oregon. It's an old skool, slightly thicker crust, but not deep dish or pan style (e.g. exactly how I like it). I had a pepperoni and garlic "mini" ($5.50 with up to 5 toppings!), just about the right size for a light lunch (I would have stepped up to a small but didn't want to ferry any possible leftovers on the 110+ mile drive home).
  
  They were pimping their new "family style rotini pastas", which seem to be the semi-trendy new thing for pizza joints. I dunno, I rarely order pizza at an upscale Italian restaurant, so I'm not sure if lowbrow pizza places should venture into pasta dishes - but what ev'.
  
  My Lady got a "one-time-through" salad bar (like $3, or $5.50 for "all-you-can-eat"), and thought the choices were good and fresh, but rather limited - also the plate was barely bigger than the size of a CD.
  
  You order food at the counter and get a number, then slide to the right to order beverages, and grab a seat. They announce when orders are up on the PA, but depending on where you sit it can be hard to hear. To make it even easier, they have an old fashioned bingo-style light board with all the numbers above the counter.
  
  I think the kitchen might have messed up my pie or put the order in wrong because lots of people who ordered after me got their orders first, but I had a delicious bomber of Ninkasi's Spring Reign to keep me occupied - they also had about 6-10 beers on tap (of course available in pitchers), and a few other bottles, so there was PLENTY of beer options to accompany your pizza - no full bar though (hey, it IS a family joint).
  
  I would definitely return to Papa's Pizza if it were located here in Portland, but likely won't be back in Springfield any time soon unless Lionel Hutz wants to hire me at his firm!

  I love this place.  I was first introduced to Papa's Pizza when I was 5 years old and went for a friend's birthday.  Their pizza is fantastic.  Somehow they make the bottom of the crust crispy while the middle is airy, fluffy and delicious!  Also, It is a very kid friendly place with a huge play room with towers and a ballpit.  What kid doesn't like a ball pit!  I tried to jump in last time I was there, but they wouldnt let me in
