Takoda's

The Pizza is great.   My wife and I usually get it to take out, and we  drive from Black Butte to pick it up.   It's always full of toppings that are fresh and full of flavor, and always ready when we set up a time to pick it up.  One of our neighbors introduced us to it and said it was also one of her favorites.

We've had breakfast there 4 or 5 times and have also enjoyed that every time.

you have no menu just go all Italian please.

This is really 2.5 stars but I would rather error on the up-side, in the chance that my meal was just an off day.

I ordered the Marionberry Chicken which was interesting, not at all what I had expected, in a weird kind of way. The vegetables were mediocre and kind of greasy. The "Rice Pilaf" was bizarre. It looked like plain, steamed white rice, certainly could be improved. Prior to the chicken, I started with the clam chowder. I have yet to find a chowder that beats Wally's in Des Moines, WA and this was no different. While it had good flavor, big chunks of clams and creamy base, they added tarragon which is just silly. It didn't really help the flavor or the experience. I probably would have really liked it otherwise.

The table (four of us) also ordered the wings to start and they were decent, if you like wings you will want them. They are most likely "franks red" or something equivalent.

One person at the table ordered a burger, which looked really good but I did not taste. With that burger came fries, which were actually really good!
