This is my favorite pizza place in town! Their crust and toppings are all high-quality and my mouth starts watering while I wait. During the summer you can also dine on the roof and order drinks from the attached CrowBar. If you want to eat inside CrowBar that is also an option.

The riverfront in Corvallis is great for a nice relaxing walk or picnic. I spent a lot of time doing homework here in college or walking with a friend and a coffee. There are a lot of restaurants facing the river and the next few blocks inland or full of unique shops.
