Papa Pete's - Longview, WA

Large "The Lumberman" w/sausage substituted for ground beef. 

Overall score: 49/70

1. Crust: 9/10 crispy and bubbly on a light bed of corn meal

2. Sauce: 6/10 thick texture, has a sort of sweetness to it and is tastefully applied

3. Cheese: 7/10 a fine gooey layer

4. Toppings:8/10 quite a lot of "pep" in the pepperoni, a lot of toppings and a little greasy.

5. Atmosphere: 6/10  Large room with lots of seating and an arcade area. It sort of has a feel like there should be a bowling alley or skating rink attached.

6. Novelties: 6/10 The arcade makes it a great place to bring kids. Every time we've been there the room is really empty but most of the tables are reserved for some sort of party which we never see. - Always makes us chuckle a little bit. I'm sure the party comes at some point but they must reserve the tables fairly early! There is also a crazy mural on the wall, which we've had fun with by using it to play "I Spy" while we wait for the pizza. 

7. How are the left overs? 7/10 Warms up fine, seems to have a little more substance and body to it the second time around.

This could be my favorite pizza in town as far as taste goes. I love the crust! It does cost a little more than some other places, but not bad. I've got great memories playing "I Spy" there, but the atmosphere of the room just doesn't add up to some other pizza places.
