This Is the Best Pizza Spot in Oregon, Known for Its Lunch Buffet

Buffets don't always have the best reputations. At worst, they conjure up images of old, less-than-inspiring dishes kept lukewarm under a heat lamp. But this certainly isn't the case with all of them. One shining example of a drop-everything-and-go lunch buffet is Fultano's Pizza, with a handful of locations here in Oregon. But today, we'll dive into the original location: the historic coastal city of Astoria.

So first, a bit of background. In 1977, Fultano's opened up its flagship store at 620 Olney Avenue, quickly becoming the go-to spot for locals and travelers alike. From the beginning, Fultanos has been so legendary among its regulars, and for many, it's the standard by which all other pizza experiences are measured. Ask a local, and they'll tell you that it's the best pizza in Oregon, hands down.

There are many things that set Fultano's apart, especially its ties to the community, but there's something else that no pizza lover can resist: the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. For just about $14, help yourself to as many slices of this delicious pizza as your heart desires.

The lunch buffet runs daily between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., plus an all-you-can-eat dinner buffet offered on Monday nights from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. In addition to the fresh, creative pizzas, you can help yourself to a fresh salad.

The buffet is great for first-timers because it lets you sample a variety of flavors without committing to an entire pie. Of course, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but there are some clear favorites here, including Classic Pepperoni, Taco Pizza (just trust us on this one!), Everything Pizza, and the Hawaiian.

But what really sets Fultano's pizza apart? The crust. Diners rave about the crust, which is cooked to perfection and delightfully crispy. If you don't enjoy crispy crust, one diner recommended mentioning this to the kitchen.

Fultano's is a great take-out option, but why not sit back, relax, and enjoy this laid-back, family-friendly environment? There's even a game room, plus a banquet room with enough seating for 60 guests.

If you're still on the fence, take a look at this recent review:

"Fultano's/Astoria has always been one of our favorite places for decades! Had another great family dinner there, with THE best pizza anywhere (how DO they get that crust so crispy without ever overcooking it?!)."
