While the restaurants in Oregon's cities get all the attention, we love to enjoy a meal in a small town, where the food is tasty, the service is friendly, and the hometown pride is evident. Here's a pizza place that not only serves delicious food, it proudly displays the accomplishments of its local sports teams all over the walls.
Geno's Pizza has been a neighborhood staple in Astoria for years, and you're going to want to try it the next time you're in town.
The restaurant is located at 3693 Leif Erikson Dr., Astoria, OR 97103.
You won't find fancy decor here. This is the kind of place where you'll find friendly service, cozy booths, and hometown pride.
The walls are covered with memorabilia and photos from local sports teams.
From high school swim teams to local football leagues to championship basketball teams going back decades, this place honors them all. You'll want to spend some time checking this stuff out while you wait for your pizza.
The pizza is well worth the wait. These folks have been open since 1961, so they've had plenty of time to perfect their pizzas.
The menu includes all the classic combos, plus plenty of specialty pizzas.
You'll even find a few unusual items here, like the seafood pizza with white sauce and shrimp, or the option to add avocado to your pie.
Burgers are the other specialty of the house, and you'd better bring your appetite if you want to finish one. The Double Super Burger includes 1.5 pounds of juicy beef, along with melted cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and special sauce.
You'll also be pleasantly surprised to find some of the most delicious pies ever in the dessert case. They're homemade daily, and if you don't have room for a slice after dinner, you'll want to take home a whole pie to go.
Visit Geno's Pizza Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday til 11 p.m.. Call (503) 325-4927 for takeout.
