About

Established in 1980. It was 1977 when Chuck Woodstock opened the first Woodstock's Pizza near Oregon State in Corvallis, Oregon. His goal was to create a fun, student oriented pizzeria that dished up amazing pies using his grandmother's marinara recipe. From the beginning he focused on fresh, hand-tossed dough with a unique folded-over crust with sauce inside. He insisted on putting more toppings on the pizza than any of his competitors, so you get a taste of every topping in each bite. True to Chuck's legacy, we are still committed to offering the highest quality ingredients, making our dough fresh daily in-house, keeping our signature sauce a secret, and working hard to create loyal cus

chomeuse review for Woodstock's Pizza SLO

I took a large group here. It's crowded and noisy, but I like that in a pizza joint. Keeps things lively. The staff were decent. Ingredients fresh. If I liked this kind of pizza, I'd give it a thumbs up. But I don't. So I'll describe the pizza and my taste, and you can decide for yourself if it's your taste. The pizza is really filling. The crust is filled with sauce, and that's just too heavy for me, too saucy. (There are no other crust options at Woodstock's.) And the crust itself--ignoring the sauce for a moment--is really bland like a cracker. It needed more salt. It's texture was dry. I prefer it chewier, not so airy/crispy. The toppings are nice and fresh. I liked that. But the way they put them together just didn't work for me. The combos are...too much. You get overwhelmed by all the strong flavors; they haven't chosen toppings that complement each other, in my opinion. I suppose the rich saucy base has something to do with that. I could tolerate the simpler topping combos, like ham and pineapple, on their base. But the other, more complex combos (we ordered every one of them) I just could not eat. Anyway, if your tastes in pizza are like mine, you'd be happier elsewhere. But I don't wanna knock this place for folks whose tastes are different from mine, because for them this place is probably great. The ingredients are certainly top shelf and it's a nice lively place with decent staff.

Business Response:

We will remake any pizzas that you're not happy with (or refund your money), and since we make each pizza custom, you can request less sauce, a different sauce (we offer 5 choices), thick or thin crust, and whatever toppping choices you would like (including light or heavy on the toppings). We also offer both white and wheat crusts, and many people enjoy purchasing a fresh dough ball to take home and cook for home-baked bread (it tastes like sourdough).

We walked around downtown San Luis Obispo with our kids (12,9,6) trying to find something we could agree upon. We finally settled on this local favorite and we were glad we did, mostly. We ordered from a menu board with lots of different options. The prices were reasonable and the pizzas were tasty. They arrived pretty quickly considering the packed crowd. They arrived as ordered. The only downside was their "Trivia Tuesday" meant that they reserved almost half the restaurant for that event, so it was pretty packed. Overall, it was a good meal for a reasonable price and the ambience was good. If you're downtown in SLO for dinner, stop on by.

we love their pizza and salads ... way better than anywhere else in town, and not horribly priced. also love that they have beers on tap. the sauce and crust are SO good, and sometimes we'll get the wheat crust which is also very good. parking can such, but what do you expect for downtown SLO?

Lots of people seem to like woodstocks. It's good for the cheap beer. But if you're there for the pizza then get some Fattie's...
