Location, location, location. Being from the sunny side of California; the only problem with good pizza is the place it is served in. The building was run down; felt dirty and aged. The salad bar was lacking that California spunk! Everything looked bagged and recycled. The guy behind the counter was awkward and didn't quite know how to ask if we had been helped yet; "um so like, you guys ready?" The pizza was delicious. But pizza is like free money- no one ever turns it down.

An update to my earlier post below. Abby's reached out to me based on my comment which I really appreciate, so they do take the feedback to heart. As it turns out, the other Abby's location is not 1.8 miles from my home (as indicated by Yelp), but is 2.9 miles away, exceeding their 2-1/2 mile limit. At least one of their competitors has a 4 mile limit, so this restriction is costing them business, but I credit Abby's for looking into the situation and getting back to me. For this reason, I am raising them from 1-3 stars. ----------------------- Jeez - I guess my business is not important to these guys. I called the other Grants Pass Abby's which is only 1.8 miles away from my home, but they won't deliver to my address since they are "on the other side of the river" so they referred me to this location. So....I called the Abby's which is "on my side of the river", and 2.9 miles from my home and they said that I was too far out and their delivery limit is an address which is only about a quarter of a mile from my home. One of their competitors, located farther away got the business and the driver got a very nice tip. If Abby's won't go the extra quarter mile for their customers, I suspect they might not do the same with their on-site service. Customer service matters and Abby's won't be getting my business.

This is not pizza. It's basically frozen pizza and they add the toppings. Looks like chuck e cheese pizza. Tastes like they warm it up just enough for the cheese to melt. Wouldn't recommend this place is someone was in the mood for pizza. Looks like a good place to bring a bunch of kids to run a muck while the parents have some beers. 2stars because the food was tolerable but maybe it was because we were hungry. We definitely didn't want the leftovers.

Legendary indeed. This pizza is terrible. Hands down worst I've ever had. For a month or two their sign read "We've got it good. New Pizza. Sausage Fest" They had no idea what they were advertising. Dumb and gross. Deadly combination.

Ordered sausage and olive pizza and bread sticks (for our six y.o.). We enjoyed the pizza, although it was a little pricey. The sausage was the right amount of spicy and the sauce was flavorful. The cheese was good quality, not rubbery. Son did not like the bread sticks, and I agree that they were a little unusual. Solid pizza. We'll come back.

If this is what counts as 'legendary' in Grant's Pass, i'll have to remember not to stop in Grant's Pass ever again. It was good enough, perfectly edible, but not legendary. It was also very slow. There wasn't a big crowd, i didn't see a lot of people coming in for carry-out orders, but it still took forever to get my pizza. There's a huge arcade walled off on one side of the restaurant, which is great for keeping out-of-control children out of the way. I confess, mine was one of them, as the poor toddler had been trapped in a car all day and had some energy to burn. Despite sitting at the table closest to the arcade, i couldn't hear his antics, so i'm pretty sure he wasn't bothering any of the other patrons. In all, if you need a place to stop with the kids to get decent pizza while doing the I-5 thing, consider Abby's. If you want legendary pizza, or even particularly good pizza, it's probably not for you.

I love pizza. In Portland my wife and I were spoiled by some of the best pizza we have ever tasted. A Pizza Shoals, and Flying Pie Pizza were our two favorite parlors, but there are many of them to choose from. In Grants Pass, we are still searching for a good pizza. Two nights ago we made the mistake of ordering a product at Abby's Legendary Pizza. I say product because it was not pizza. It was also not legendary. The crust was thin, but crackery, not at all what real pizza dough should be. The cheese was a processed mixture of white and yellow cheese product, kind of like that Mexican grated cheese you can get at the supermarket, except not as good. It was definitely not Mozzarella, and was sort of gritty in it's consistency, and tasteless. There was no sauce! I did notice that some vaguely red substance had been brushed onto the dough before it was cooked, and the salami was slightly gamey, kind of over the hill. I don't complain unless I have had a bad experience, and I can't understand how some of the reviews for Abby's have been so kind. What's wrong with you people? I attribute your good reviews to the dumbing down of the American public by the fast food industry, and the incessant lie being propagated by it that what is available at Abby's, McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc. is what they should expect their food to taste like. The uniformity cost per plate controllers, and marketing men have succeeded far beyond their wildest dreams, and now can see their efforts rewarded by the zombie crowds of citizens who agree that what they are eating at these chains is actually good food. Beware the fast food chains. They are lying to you! Search! Explore! Find good burgers, pizza, and tacos. They are out there! ;O)

My first stop after 20 years away from home was Abby's Pizza, and I was not disappointed. They lived up to every shining memory of what a pizza should be, and what my old school chums have bragged about to those of us who left the area. British hubby said it's the best pizza he's had in America.

The food is great, as Abby's always is. I wasn't super impressed with the employees. The salad bar was well stocked and the selection was good and fresh. I would go back.

This is a good and popular kid friendly place for family celebrations. Their spuds and ranch are good, the pizza with linguica (sp?) is edible, beer & soda on tap and a large game room for the kiddos.

Carrie M.
Personally I think the pizza is great but the staff is ALWAYS rude. Over the phone, in person...it doesn't matter. They should really work on customer service, its all in the attitude,

Jim A.
Not the greatest of pizzas, but its a solid pie. The best thing about here is that everything the serve seams to go great with ranch. Their jojos are a must. They have a large seating area. So if you're bringing your entourage you shouldn't be left standing. Another important thing is the arcade. Their arcade is larger then most other pizza joints. So if you need a break for the kids just give them a pocket full of quarters and point towards the arcade, or in my case... I bring quartera and escape from the family into the arcade.

Abby's pizza was good, they use a lot of toppings, compared to other places that seem to think that's where all their money goes. I like the fact that they delivered to a hotel, and when they did they brought a bunch of ranch. And, they delivery time was a lot faster than they even said it would be. Our main decision on picking Abby's was another reviewers note on how it caused "pizza farts" within half an hour of eating this. We are traveling and it keeps us awake when we stink up the car, so we were looking forward to these so called "pizza farts"! We were definitely disappointed that we got little to no gas at all. He farted so loud, that I thought he ripped the bed sheet! I'm a little jelly.

Gordon S.
Oh, Abby's! The most legendary thing about eating here is the gnarly farts your body will produce about 30 minutes after eating the pizza. We can't be the only ones! Come on people and admit it! The pizza itself, is pretty good. Very cheesy, large sizes, and lots of topping options. The delivery service is fast, friendly and the pizza is always fresh and hot. The spuds are pretty good. They are a little too greasy, but I guess that's what you get when a potato chip and a french fry have a baby. Abby's is a step above Little Caesar's and Domino's pizza by most people's standards. However Little Caesar's and Domino's don't give my family, friends and myself crippling gas. Ordering Abby's has almost become a joke at this point. Friends are visiting and pizza sounds better then cooking... Friend- "Lets try this Abby's place! I like to try local places." Me- "OK, its decent pizza. Just wait about half hour after eating for the surprise!" Friend-" What surprise?" Me- *Evil Laugh*

Fat delivery guy complained about walking up stairs to deliver. Earn your tip or drop it at the bottom and walk away empty handed. Seriously, I don't want your sob story about having to walk up a flight of stairs as you pant over this sub-par grease pile. Your armpits will smell like this pizza tomorrow. It's gross. Seriously, pour some tomato paste on a manilla envelope and rub a jock strap on it - BOOM! - Abby's Pizza. RIP Pappy.

Classic pizza place. Traditional decor and and arcade for a feeling like when I was a kid. Pizza is nothing unique: no wild and crazy fixins... It's just good ol' pizza, made well with great flavor. Fun. Family friendly. I like it. Would be nice if they accepted Discover. That was awkward. They could improve the craft beers on tap. Not a terrible selection, but could have more variety in style.

I don't know that I'd call the pizza at Abby's "legendary" -- it was ok -- I will say this, their jojos (potato wedges for those not in the jojo know) were DAMN good... but, the pizza? Eh... it was alright. What was really awesome (besides the jojos) was the video poker room where I won $15. I love me a good video poker game... it really should be known as video crack, I'm addicted... ha.

This stuff is amazing. We ate it for lunch.. then went back with family the next day had it for dinner. Two totally different choices, both very good. Good leftovers, and reliable. YUM

Perhaps the expectations of a "Legendary Pizza" tainted the experience as the food was average at best, but what dropped this rating was the absolute indifference service we were administered. And the messy kitchen didn't add the experience... However, I did go about 30 minutes until closing time, so the experience might be much better if I went closer to the dinner rush. It has potential, and I can see how some people would be a fan, but as someone passing through and looking for a late-night snack before I headed of to the camping grounds, this was not the greatest place for me.

Legendary Pizza? Me thinks not. A very ordinary pizza. Wild River Pub is better, but still far from "Legendary". I'd rather get a take and bake from Papa Murphy's at half the cost and put it on the barbie.

Mediocrity suits this place best. The prices are on the more expensive side and the pizza is medicre at best. It seems like an all right place to take kids if the place isn't to packed cuz they dont have much of an arcade to chose from. The manager took our order and was totaly indifferent about everything. I asked him point blank if the pizza was legendary and his response in a im too bored to be here voice was "pizza is pizza it all makes you fat" . i just wonder how he got to be a manager with such a lack of enthusiasm. None of the employees said hi or welcome to abbys or anything and we were like the only ones in there! We ordered the pizza then looked around a bit and then headed over to the annex to play poker on the machines, same thing in there the guy didn't say hi or anything. The pizza came out pretty fast which was nice and we finished and left. One thing I have found is that people here in Grants Pass are not that very friendly not a very welcoming place.

Realist I.
Even though I question some of the reviews here, I can only speak for myself and my wife. The deep dish pizza I had was delicious and because of that, I'm a new Abby's customer. For years, I thought that no one could touch Round Table Pizza but, after today's lunch, I've been proven wrong. Crispy deep dish crust and plentiful toppings. My wife, who is Gluten intolerant, raved about their gluten free offering and, most importantly, it did not affect her stomach (gluten intolerant folks will understand what I'm talking about here!). The only reason I have never had their pizza in the past was due to their TV advertisements. The pizza in the commercial looks like something from an old drive-in theater intermission advertisement...totally unappealing. Maybe, they need to review what's being shown to the general public because I would have been here sooner if their TV commercial looked as good as the pizza I had today!!

Okay pizza place. They used to have a steak pizza that was awesome. It was one of those places I took visitors to regularly. Between the steak pizza, and the fireplace in the middle of the restaurant (very old school) I gave them 4 stars. Very unique. Last time I was there, they did away with the steak, remodeled the fireplace out, and the service was sub-par. With the prices already being a little high, they lost a star (in my book), and I won't be returning until I hear a a good reason to.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
