We love it here. Great food and a family atmosphere. There are nights with great entertainment, making this place a lot of fun to frequent. The pizzas are really good. The crust is always crisp and they have a great vegan pizza. They also serve tea, which I appreciate on nights with great bands. A MUST VISIT SPOT IN EUGENE

Delicious! Small selection by the slice, more full pizzas, respectable choices for beers, served under a large vaulted ceiling with beautiful murals adorning the walls. Theres also a stage for everything from science lectures to comedy. The sound guy is spot-on. I actually havent seen music there, but presumably they have it occasionally.

Not recommended. The calzon was not cooked in the middle. The sausage was tasteless. $3 for a burned dryed out cookie. 2 of 10. Waste of money

Worst experience I have ever had. The pizza was burnt. I ordered a meat pizza and there was hardly any meat on it. The cashier/waitress was rude. She ignored us while we were ordering, gave us dirty looks when placing our food on the table, and threw our togo order on table. I wish I could leave no stars if I could. We went there to have a nice meal and left filling ripped off.

Very unique atmosphere. Set up more for chilling and activities than dinning. There are couches instead of tables in some areas and not many seats in general. The way the door is set, it can be hard to get away from the draft from the door. Pizza was alright. We tried a few different items from the menu and I cannot say we were blown away by any of it. Not terrible prices though and there is often entertainment either with activities (art nights on Fridays I believe for kids) and live performances.

A uniquely Eugene experience for live shows and drinks. Been here for comedy and music. Drink service is on the slow side, but well priced and friendly. The space is mid-sized, making a decent crowd feel both energetic and intimate.

Food is tasty. Not bit beer menu. I went when it was really packed because of science talk, and they forgot our order. When everyone left they forgot a second order again. But overall its a nice place

Check out MuseArt Mondays! Great place to bring the kiddos. Eat pizza, enjoy art and music. Friendly staff and great food! Being downtown, parking can be a hassle before 6pm, but its worth a block or two walk.

They got the crust right. Like, actually perfect. And the place feels like a Mumford and Sons music video. They play bluegrass and it really makes you feel at home. The pizza is quality. My new favorite place to eat.

They are my new favorite thing to get at Whirled Pies.My compliments to the chef.This business is a credit to our community.It is a place for the public to meet and is much appreciated by many many people in this town.

Im not sure what I was expecting when I first walked in but my son and I were a bit surprised. My first impression was that it looked more like a bar than a pizza place. We went in because of the happy hour which I believe is daily (or possibly just weekdays) from 3-5. There was a placard on the sidewalk advertising the happy hour as including $1 cheese slices and beverage specials as well. Unfortunately, upon entering, I did not see any additional information about the happy hour offerings. I would like to have known what the drink specials were, but I very much dislike having to ask. Anyway the pizza was good and you could add toppings to the slices for 50¢ for meat and 25¢ for vegetables per slice. So, with the happy hour special, a slice with pepperoni and mushrooms was $1.75 which is a pretty good deal except that they were fairly small. Given the size, I dont think that its any better of a deal than the normally priced slices at nearby Sizzle Pie which are significantly larger, but its a different atmosphere and if you arent super hungry its a good deal for a snack or light meal. Its also a really good deal for the plain cheese. As far as the atmosphere, as I said before, it was different. It was a big open space shared with a coffee place with a variety of different types of seating areas and I believe there were some games around. There was a very large chess game on our table (around 2ft by 2ft). There was a stage and high ceilings open through the rafters to the roof.

LOVE this place. Their pizza is amazing. The smoked salmon pizza is yummy! Their artichoke dip is da bomb! Its a pizza crust with the dip in the middle. Literally craving it as I type. We went there for a special occasion and they made us feel really special!

Review №28

This was somewhat a tale of two people when it comes to the customer experience. There was a wonderful lady who gave my kids stickers and was very pleasant and there was a guy who Ill refer to as The Towel Tosser who was rude, short and lazy. All of this would have been okay if the pie was good, but it was somewhat flavorless. Good sized portion, but ultimately forgettable. This was after they didnt supply what was ordered, which was due to the towel Tosser ignoring what we actually ordered and instead just put 1/2 no onions. Not recommended.

Delicious gourmet pizza and great shows. As someone who has performed at Whirled Pies frequently over the years, I have to say that the staff and sound engineers are some of the most professional people in town. We were always taken care of and confident that everything would run smoothly on Whirled Pies end. It makes for a great creative environment. Their passion for creativity, which is evident in the interior design, extends to their food. If you are looking for a unique pizza experience or want to go see a good show, look no further.

I love the gluten free pizza, you dont have to order it in advance or wait longer than regular for it. You can even get a single slice without paying a whole lot extra or having to order a whole pie.

Not sure what the dressing on the Caesar salad was, but it was mostly water and the lettuce had a lot of brown spots. Pizza was not good at all, but Im from the East coast and I have yet to have a mind shattering pie out here yet. Person at the counter was far more interested in talking with her friends at the bar than taking care of customers. Definitely will not go back. On a positive note, the garlic knots were OK.

Not sure what happened, but when Whirled Pies moved to the downtown location, the quality of their offerings just fell off a cliff in almost every regard. Their service sucks, their pizza is horrible and the ambiance is just uncomfortable. It’s like they operating in an empty dance hall or something. Oh wait, they are! I give them two stars because a decent concert is booked there, on occasion.

Good pizza, good value. The sound system didnt turn out very well for when my band came through, but maybe a few things just went wrong that day. Acoustics seemed to be very hard to control. The pizza was pretty good, very vegetarian friendly. Im not crazy about this crusted pizza but this location I enjoy. Recommended for good pizza and live music!

This place has the BEST hand crafted pizza in town!! They have great options for toppings, live music, and happy hour makes it cheap! I have, quite a few times, during happy hour had my order come out wrong, so that can happen when they get really busy, but everything they make it AMAZING and it only happens during happy hour rly, plus if its just a missed topping all you have to do is tell them and they add it for you.

Ever so seldom the withering lily droops its head just enough to slip beyond the reflective surface of the pond, which has entertained its attention over its course, providing an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what is on the other side. I am pretty sure this pizza is is there somehow. Give it a whirl.

This Used to be my favorite place to go until this evening. I came for the happy hour $1 slices, and long story short it was not a very happy hour. I waited 30 minutes for 2 slices of cheese pizza. When asking the cashier for my money back I didnt just get my money returned to me no, instead I got $2 dollars back with a mouth load of attitude. When asked why I want my money back, i replied with because you served 5 tables of people that had ordered pizza After we had already ordered and sat down the cashier then replied then you should have spoken up... and in the Rudest tone, with the Rudest face. Who working in customer service (which by the way i have worked in for 10+ years) would ever in their right mind speak to a customer that way? Whirle pies pizza used to be my go to place; there are plenty of other places to eat at with better customer service and better food. Yall should have stayed where you were originally, the atmosphere was much more pleasant (felt family oriented) and the customer service was over the top out of this world.

Awesome, comfortable, laid back environment!! We went for a benefit with some friends and were surprised to get a super comfortable area with couches with a perfect view of the stage used for live entertainment!! Friendly staff! Only reason I gave it 4stars is because Im gluten free and I wasnt too fond of taste of their gluten free crust. Otherwise, awesome place!

A much larger than I expected. Stage was low and entertainment is not easy to see. The show was all ages and adult section was small and uncomfortable. Line to the bar was out of control and uncool. Staff was super cool and comforting. Lots of couches to chill in and decent beer selection.My experience was fine. I left early though. No complaints except that beer line.

Very expensive for the quality. $13 for a mediocre pizza. Would recommend going down the street to sizzle pie. Its a good atmosphere and they have good shows and a cool community art thing on Mondays but its overpriced and totally not worth the money for the pizza. I also went there once with a friend and we each ordered lemonade and it was $9. Not planning on going back.
