Papa Pete's Popular Pizza Parlour

Driving up I-5, getting hungry, sign along side the road: Papa Pete's Pizzar Parlour

Papa Pete's Popular Pizza Parlour

Thinking this will be my last meal of delicious American Pizza for 3 weeks, I hope Rebecca might take the bait.

"Pizza!" I shout.

"Mmm, I could go for that!" she says.

I rejoice inside. We take exit 49 (Castle Rock, Washington) and it pretty much dumps right into the parking lot. The lot is packed (usually a good sign). We go inside and it's not so packed (not a good sign). But the place is huge, so maybe it's an optical issusion.

We order our pizza, wait a good long while next to a fake fireplace. Not fake like it's metal logs masking a gas burner underneath, but fake like sitting inside the quaint round, rustic fireplace is a plastic box molded into the shape of some logs, and inside is an orange light. We flipped the switch and basked in the glow of a fake orange light while making origami figures.

The REALLY fake fireplace

The pizza was Delicious! Really quite good, they use that think-cut slightly spicy pepperoni that is so hard to find. Rebecca commented on the cheese-to-sauce ratio being just right, and the crust was tasty. All together a very good dining experience.

We shoulda gotten the medium!

Rebecca is not amused
