Top Pizza Places
People generally agree that pizza is a great way to make everybody happy. Pizza certainly pairs well with lots of things — a cold, craft beer; a robust red wine; a day of physical exertion from hiking or yard work; a movie night; hanging out with friends; feeding the kids; a school fundraiser or class party; a business meeting or brown bag lunch; a romantic picnic and so many other occasions. Sometimes it's a family's go-to holiday meal and sometimes it's the quickest lunch to grab on your lunch break. Whether it's delivery, take out or dine in; pizza is delicious and — to some of us — essential.
Here are some of our favorite pizza places:
The Wheel APizza Pub
Best organic, homegrown experience
The Wheel Apizza Pub Owner by Dominick Barbero
Edging the edgy Whiteaker Neighborhood, this comfortable pub pours craft beer and slices up "homegrown" pizza. Here you can also order a take out kale Caesar salad, home sauerkraut and their pub-brewed beers by the can. As for pizza pies, sports fan should try the "Mar-ee-O-tah" with smoked chicken, charred pineapple and pickled jalapeño. We also like the "(V)ishny" with tempeh sausage, peppers, red onions and herb cashew cheese. Kids can enjoy organic house sodas in cans!
Coburg Pizza Company
Their "Edible Love" can also be served with award-winning wings
Coburg Pizza in Springfield By Melanie Griffin
These gourmet pizzas elevate casual dining to a chef-curated experience. Their pizzas take time and they offer a robust menu of "reimagined" options, but you can still build your own if you wish. Generous, quality ingredients has made this a destination pizzeria with two locations offering curbside pick up. Size up their Coburg Pizza pie side by side with the "other guy's" pizza photo on their website under FAQs. Yep, this is a lavish pizza place with appetizer pizzas and dessert pizzas too! Decision making may be the largest hurdle here, and don't forget to order sides too.
Pegasus Smokehouse Pizza
A family-owned favorite with three locations
Pegasus Pizza Box by Taj Morgan
Pegasus sprung from its original UO campus location to two additional Eugene restaurants (Oakway Center and South Eugene). Their gourmet pies are built on house-made dough and fresh ingredients that have become a community staple. We recommend their signature "Pegasus Chicken" which features a BBQ-base, BBQ chicken, mozzarella, fontina and red onion. You also don't want to miss their amazing vegetarian options including the "Three Sisters", a simple red sauce pizza loaded with three delicious cheeses, and the "Apollo" with a garlic and oil base topped with mushrooms, red onions, cloves of roasted garlic, chèvre cheese, mozzarella and fresh basil.
