I've had bad pizza before, and I've had good pizza from Abby's before. BUT, the 1 pizza I had at this location was the worst pizza I've ever had! I almost wonder if they were playing a prank on us! The pizza had sooo many mushrooms on it, and they were cut so thick, they did not cook. The huge mushrooms were put on the pizza first, so nothing else would stick. Every piece we picked up had all the toppings fall off! Overall, a very funny experience...but bad pizza. We took all the mushrooms off and filled up 5 soda cups!...maybe they got the point!

Not really so legendary. But where else does one go for pizza in Madras?

We were driving through Madras on Highway 97 looking for a place to have dinner. Both of us were in the mood for pizza, but not at a chain like Pizza Hut or Round Table. Abby's Legendary Pizza looked promising and we were hungry, so we turned around and parked in their lot. Maybe it was really early for dinner, but the establishment was almost empty when we entered. The server who took our order was very friendly and helpful. He worked with us through the vagaries of ordering a half and half pizza. We started with the Garlic Parmesan Bread Sticks, which were served with Marinara Dipping Sauce. I wanted a Roasted Garlic-Chicken Pizza on my half. It had garlic, chicken, mushrooms, onions, a 3-cheese blend, and a creamy white sauce. The bread sticks were excellent. They came out of the oven hot, crunchy, and fresh, just how I like them. Very tasty indeed. The pizza itself was good, but not quite as good as the bread sticks were. I appreciated the self-serve soda dispenser because I was really thirsty. I didn't realize that Abby's Legendary Pizza was actually a chain until we passed another one the next day!

I usually have great experiences eating out but this was not one of them. And let me preface with the only reason I gave it 2 stars is that my food was correct and I ate it before I knew what you're about to read. We stopped here after a decent time in the car (about 5 hours) and totally ready for some stretch break including lunch. We have an Abby's nearby home so we knew we liked the menu and stopped in for lunch. At first glance the restaurant seemed decent. Small, it had 3 tables reserved for what I'm assuming was a little girls birthday party-- but plenty of seating. We walked towards the order counter and grabbed a menu and the lady at the counter immediately asked what we wanted. We nervously laughed stating we were not quite ready and noticed she seemed kind of hissy we weren't ready. We finally decided- Medium pizza: half hawaiian, 1/2 lone star chicken and pepperoni. One salad bar, two drinks. I got my salad-- which the salad bar looked a little sad, wilty lettuce and such, but I know sometimes that can happen pretty fast so I moved on and ate my salad. Until I found some hairs in it-- but they totally could have been mine right? Of course, I told myself. The pizza came out. It was half hawaiian, half BBQ chicken, pepperoni and pineapple. That wasn't what we ordered. I told my husband we could go tell them, I'm sure they'd fix their error, he said it was okay so we picked off the pineapple from his side and scraped some of the BBQ sauce off. At the end we had a few pieces leftover we thought we would take with us so I went to the counter for a box. I watched an employee smoke her e-cigarette in the office with the door open to the kitchen. I stood there watching her, then watching flies land on the prep counters/cutting board. After a couple minutes, she stopped, put it away and turned towards me to get me a box. Gross. We won't be back, ever.

Over priced, cheese wasn't melted, and it was like we were chewing on a salt lick! We got a "large" and hardly fed us. Most places a large will stuff your belly and feed you for lunch the next day, not this place. It took an unreasonable amount of time to get our pizza. We won't be spending our money here again.

I've eaten here several times over the years and in traditional Abby's fashion, it never disappoints. My only complaint is that being from Hillsboro I always have to drive to these far away small towns to get that great Abby's pizza.

Okay, this is like Shakey's was when I was a kid....good cardboard box crust and decent toppings. Of course you have to put up with a little less than stellar decor, but a small price to pay for this type of pizza. Think of this as the "anti-pizza snob" joint.
