Schmizza Pub & Grub — Restaurant in Beaverton

9/16/2023 Well, yet another change.

I visited the store today mainly because I was with a good friend who loves it.

I ordered and met Alex, a current manager. She knew me.

A very long story made short, Alex personally moved me to upgrade them again.

I don't think she treated me any differently than other guests. I think she's inately a very personable professional.

We talked mater of factly about my reviews... I told her that most likely I would change it later today.

I just did and may adjust it a little more.

They have a new curtain in the dining room. It looked like a vending machine of some sort was behind it. I don't like such items for reasons and will not impose my aethos upon others.

Bottom line, I've always loved their pizzas, for over a decade was always greeted by name not only by the owners but the staff too. It saddened me to give low reviews.

After consideration, I'm uping them to 5 stars. In my view, the foods great, now I can say that the staff is too. By definition the service is too. She was the only employee greeting the public I saw, took my order and money etc.

The environment (atmosphere) is what it is.

If your taste parallels mon

Changed from 5stars on everything to 3 Reason: Today, 8/9/2023 a little after 4pm I came in, ordered a Fort George and 1slice of "No Kiss Tonight". I presented one of their "You're Special!" coupons... "... and here's your proof." Which has 2 prices on it, '$2.00 favorite slices' and '$2.50 specialty slices' The reverse lists 4 locations followed by 3 drawings: The globe under which it says "one planet" A smiley face under which it says "one people" A pizza...."one pizza"

The front has in very small gray letters on a gray background a standard disclosure about it not being valid with other offers.

That's what I presented and was told that they no longer honored it. When asked why, I was told that it's a corporate decision.

Ok. I grant that most corporations think they can get away with anything and normally do.

This situation is a little different in my view because there's no expiration date stayed nor implied.

I don't blame this local store nor it's employees.

I do blame whoever signed off on the specific promotion. No doubt 'corporate'.

I was given a $2.19 discount.

The financial difference is not material. The ethical and perhaps legal ramifications are.

So, as I promised the staff, I'm making this public.

I don't know if corporate will find out about it or even care. Perhaps none of you do either.

Bottom line, I've been coming to this store since they opened. The original owners gave me the coupon saying that they wanted more customers like me. They sold it about a year ago.

I'm not sure if I'll ever return even though my long departed wife and I came often and loved it. The sentimental attachment is sadly broken.

I'll try to add a photo of the bill and the coupon. (Older review follows.)

Great...

I've eaten a-plenty of pizza in my time and find that I really prefer thin crust artisanal styled pizzas these days, Schmizza comes pretty close. All in all a solid tasting pizza on the flavor scale with a good crust. Not my favorite, but surely does the job.

Called in my order for pickup since their online ordering system doesn't let you create a half and half pizza, nor does it let you order many of the bottled drinks they stock, and I surely did not want Pepsi, yuck. Arrived 15 minutes after ordering and everything was ready for pickup, except my side salad, which was fixed up immediately.

Today it's a medium pizza (looks like a 10" inch) half Genoa and half Don Ho. Don't care what people say, pineapple on pizza is delicious! Small order of BBQ wings, small garden salad with a couple sides of ranch, and a cane sugar Mexi-Coke. Everything was cooked well and the salad was fresh with ecoli-free romaine, cucumbers, pearl tomatoes, Kalamata olives, croutons and no wilting. Pizza was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, no extra char and flavors matched as expected. Nothing uniquely stellar, but plenty good. The crust definitely counts and has a good taste and consistency, not overly doughy or more akin to a flour tortilla. The amount of toppings is average for a lighter styled pizza, not overly loaded or under. Wings have plenty of sweet BBQ glaze and are fried perfect as they should be along with some sticks of celery and carrot. Their ranch is not exactly Hidden Valley tasting, but close. No plastic or styrofoam packaging is a plus, and the counter girl was friendly. Fairly easy parking but imagine that lot could get full during peak hours.

Only things I'd change would be to cut those pineapple slices up instead of keeping them in the ring shape, that way you can get pineapple into every bite instead of tearing it up into a few pieces to make that happen. Online ordering system could use an update to create true half and half combos and also include some of their bottled drinks instead of just offering nasty Pepsi. All around, pricing is average and I'd surely return. Doesn't quite make my top 5, but I'll keep Schmizza in my...

Pizza and Breadsticks was so Delicious.

They ring the Bell just like for Taco Bell. Every time when it’s a Tip.

I recommend if you tell the Pepsi Guy to please replace the Pepsi Fountain what you have and take it out and place it with a Pepsi Spire Touch Screen Fountain bigger one that touches the Floor. It will have more Flavors to it.

It will have Cherry, Lemon, Vanilla, Strawberry, Grape, Lime, Peach and Raspberry. Choose Pepsi Products which is Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, Sierra Mist, Wild Cherry Pepsi, Mug Root Beer, Orange Crush, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Dr Pepper, Pepsi Max, Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi, Tropicana Lemonade, Sobe Lifewater, Gatorade, Lipton Tea and Brisk.

Those will be very cool to all Staff and Customers.

I hope you can please tell the Pepsi Guy to change the Soda Fountain to a Computer Technology Program With a Pepsi Spire Touch Screen Fountain.

It’s Good for Business and many Customers will enjoy the New Flavor...
