Lone Elder Pizza

We ordered a medium size combo tonight to be delivered. This is our first experience with Lone Elder Pizza. We have lived in Canby for seven years and kept saying we needed to try this place. Well so glad we did. Love the service, the crust and toppings. We will definitely be a dedicated customer from now on. Just wish we’d tried them sooner. And they even give you free cookies with a delivery. Yum yum.

Overpriced, good size for what you pay, but the crust is pretty bland, (and I’m usually a fan of thin crust), toppings seem fresh. Eh. Palonis is a better price for a slightly better quality

I can’t believe there are only 2 reviews and both are awful. This very much surprises, and disappoints me! I love Lone Elder! The gals in here have never been anything but sweet to me so I was shocked to read anything about them being unwelcoming. With the exception of Fultano’s, this is one of my favorite pizza joints ever. The food is consistent, hot, and delicious. I believe they also deliver. My office is just around the corner and being smack dab in the middle of town, I usually have plenty of choices for lunch but Lone Elder is my usual go to. It’s one of the only places that have never messed up an order, always friendly and the food is always good. I haven’t came across so much as a fluke in the last 4 years I’ve been eating here. My one and only complaint, and I guess it’s more of a preference, really, is that they use white onions on their pizza. I think most pizza places use red onions and I would strongly prefer red onions as well but the food is good all the same! A personal sized pan pizza is only $ 4.75! Can’t beat a $ 5 lunch. Don’t let the other reviews scare you, I’d highly recommend at least giving them a chance.

We tried Lone Elder Pizza at a friends house and it was better than Dominos and here in Canby those are about our only two pizza options. Our friends told us that the customer service at Lone Elder is not that great but I don’t think we fully appreciated that until we tried ordering our own pizza last month and then again tonight.
Last month we called in a delivery order and were told on the phone that it would be at least an hour before we got our pizza. We weren’t excited about that but we really wanted pizza and felt like something other than Dominos. Our pizza did arrive after 1.25 hours and it wasn’t as good as we had had at our friends house.
Tonight we ordered 1 pizza at 5:55pm and were told it would be here in about 30 minutes. We got distracted and then noticed at 7:05pm that the pizza still wasn’t here. We tried calling 3 times and every time we were hung up on. On the 4^th try my husband was actually able to say his name and that he ordered a pizza over an hour ago and the impolite woman interrupted him and said, «It’s on its way» and then hung up. A few minutes later we got a call saying that the driver couldn’t find our house. My husband walked outside and was out there for almost 5 minutes before he came back in with the pizza. Canby is not a big city. Five minutes is almost how long it takes to drive from one end of the city to the other. Our pizza was cold, the cheese was starting to separate and the crust was hard because it was so cold.
There is no way we are ordering from Lone Elder ever again. There was absolutely no sympathy or apology for the pizza being so overdue, which is ridiculous to me. As a small business owner I cannot fathom treating my customers with the amount of disrespect that we have been shown. Dominos really is not that bad, especially since you know you won’t have to wait over an hour to get it and it will more than likely be 100x hotter than Lone Elders pizza was.

We tried this place using a 2 for 1 Entertainment book coupon. This is a small operation run by a couple of ladies, or at least it appeared that way when we visited. The ladies seemed nice. We ordered a standard pepperoni and sausage on one and BBQ chicken on the other. I don’t think we finished either one and that rarely happens at our house. Canby can really use a good pizza place so this really bummed me out.
