Pizza was pretty good. Waiter was a fat hoe who forgot about us. Cashier was really nice though. Some flies were in there too. Good prices.

They have a beautiful view from the parking lot of the river that follows the highway just 500 feet down or so. Its peaceful flow with boats moored on the banks, and the tranquility of the Cathlamet town combine to create a scene that seems something out of a book. There are a variety of flowers planted in raised beds at the entrance also, filling the spring air with blossoms. I have not had such great service or food in years! This place is on the direct right of the highway from the west coast of Washington to Longview. The older exterior appearance belies a wonderful eatery within, which shames anywhere in the metro Portland area and most of the Oregon coast eateries I have dined at. The sign says Pizza; however they also have burgers, pastas, salads, and breakfast. I have a hard time with eating out as my husband is a carnivore, my children are omnivores who care where their food comes from and I am a vegetarian due to dietary restrictions. This place fits the bill. I loved how friendly the waitress was. She even thought ahead once she heard my children could not have dairy, she took the imitative when I ordered a side salad and left off the cheese (which in not mentioned in the menu). I don't see that kind of thoughtfulness elsewhere. She also was very patient when I entered the establishment before my family and looked at a menu to be sure I could eat there. I may be a vegetarian, but I don't like to graze on lettuce for every meal. This restaurant had not only salads, but breakfast items I could have, a vegetarian sandwich, some seafood items I could work with, and delicious vegetarian pasta (which I ordered) with fresh grilled broccoli, mushrooms and a cream sauce. It came with garlic bread which was grilled in oil, so the bottom tasted like fried bread. I liked it for something different, but it is a bit heavy for a regular thing. I figured out if you rip off the bottom of the bread stick (as they are quite fluffy and big) that the fried and heavy part is removed with it. The pasta was better than I ever expected and blew away any pasta I've ordered anywhere. I attribute this to the fact that they clearly make their own white sauce and the broccoli was really fresh. You can't get it any fresher then they had it and it was cooked tender crisp to perfection. My husband had a sausage burger which he was speechless over. Being a carnivore, he usually has something to say: it needed more seasoning, or it was not cooked through or it wasn't hot enough. He had no criticism whatsoever. The chicken strips my son ordered looked divine...and once again: fresh! The chicken burger my daughter ordered was gone so quick I hardly saw it on her plate. My daughter is part snail in everything she does...so to see her devour anything in what seems like seconds is saying something. The fries, which came with the kids and dh’s meals, where the best. They are clearly cut from real fries, not processed and glued back together. The skin is still on them and they are unmatched in taste and texture. The hot tea I ordered came out with a little bowl with four different types of tea for me to choose from: chamomile, green, Lipton original and Earl Grey. I had the green tea and it was good. My kids and dh had fresh made lemonade. I tried some of my husbands, and once again they scored with a perfect blend of tart lemon and sweet sugar. I come from Vancouver, Wa and regularly try new places in Portland (bragging about how fresh their food is). They have nothing on PJ's. They all need to take a trip there to see what real food, real service and a real restaurant is. We stopped here to take a chance on it on the way home from the beach and we all agree: as long as PJ's is there, we are coming whenever we head for the beach. If you have never thought to stop by here on your way to or from somewhere as you drive by, stop in...heck, if you even live within an hour of PJ's, it's worth the drive!

Not much to write home about. Not many other choices in such a small city.
