What is a more quintessential college-town restaurant than a pizza parlor? When I was in high school and dreamt of college, I would picture myself and a group of friends, studying diligently and eating the ultimate college brain food: pizza. Oddly enough, I can count how many times I have participated in study groups on one hand. As for pizza, I have only had it delivered once, and it didn’t end well; the deliveryman did not appreciate that I was unsure of my on campus address!
Vegetarian Pizza at Ye Olde
Regardless, I still consume pizza regularly, and I firmly believe that pizza is a staple food for college students. Newberg has many pizza joints: Abby’s, Domino’s, Papa Murphy’s, Little Caesar’s, and my new favorite, Ye Olde Pizza Shoppe. Now, perhaps Ye Olde is my favorite pizza shop because it is a local restaurant, and I tend to have an aversion to chain restaurants. Or, maybe it is my favorite because Ye Olde has been feeding George Fox University’s students’ appetites since 1976. Even my best friend’s mom remembers eating at Ye Olde when she was a student at George Fox! But I think more than anything, I adore Ye Olde Pizza Shoppe because they make all their pizzas from scratch—dough and sauce included—and they simply taste great!
While at Ye Olde, try the Newberg Delight pizza, topped with mushrooms, olives, and sausage. Or, if you are a meat lover, try the Pizza Shoppe Special with salami, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, olives, sausage, and beef. Another one of my favorites is the taco pizza.
But Ye Olde doesn’t just dish up delicious pizza, they also serve burgers, salads, and 15 different sandwiches! In addition to enjoying your pizza in their quaint shop, you can also take your pizza to go or have it delivered on campus—just make sure you know your address! If you are looking to save money, pick up your pizza and bake it at home for $1.00 off the menu price.
Ye Olde is located at 2515 Portland Rd, and is easy to spot due to its castle-like façade. Inside the restaurant are cozy booths, flat screens, and even a coat of arms on the wall. It the perfect place to go with a group of friends due its loud, fun atmosphere.
Ye Olde Pizza Shoppe is open Monday through Saturday, 11am–9pm, and Sunday, 12pm–8pm. Take advantage of their lunch special offered daily from 11–3:00, which consists of a mini pizza, salad, and drink for only $7.00. Ye Olde also gives their customers a free mini pizza on their birthday!
