Izzy’s Pizza Bar & Classic Buffet

Avoid.. Not good food. ten dollars for a buffet n you leave hungry! Not a good sign… oh don’t use the restrooms either, filthy… o and awsome to see waitress on her cell phone. not my idea of a place to eat. the view was perfect of the ocean, FAIR WARNING NOT WORTH THE MONEY. NOW TO GO FIND ME SOMETHING TO EAT!

We have been coming to Izzy’s for years and this location was the best. Was! NOTHING was as good as a few years ago! Pizza terrible. Chicken way to salty and not cooked well.
Desert bar was cookies and such from discount grocery store. Two stars because the salad bar was descent.

Horrible customer service by our waitress «Michelle», attitude, not attentive, no refills on drinks didn’t come «check on» us once. And had to get up and ask for a drink to begin with. Got there and waited 5 minutes before being seated in an empty restaurant. «Max» seemed genuine, he was the manager but was occupied in the kitchen I’m assuming. Food was luke warm, salad was alright. I wouldn’t come back here though. like ever.
I gave her a 66 cent tip and my husband got mad because that was too much.

I ordered 2 LG. Jojo’s to go.
I just wish they would have said they couldn’t make them. I also ordered ranch dressing on the side and was told it would be 1.50 (each) extra. I can’t figure this out, because if I ate the Jojo’s there I could eat all the ranch I want for free, but I paid it.
So, for my $ 15.00 I got 2 boxes of soggy, oily limp Jojo’s that tasted like fish. My very first job 30 years ago was at the Izzy’s in Albany. I can tell you in the 30 years I’ve been coming to different izzys this was my worst experience. The Jojo’s were terrible! I can’t convey how horrible they were. I’m so disappointed that they were a pile of oil, and even more shocked that the staff let them be served. They were inedible. So gross! Save your money and eat at Chevron. The Food is probably better.

I hate giving one star reviews, I really do. But sometimes they are deserved. I think we’ve probably had worse meals someplace, but I’ve eaten better in a foxhole in the rain. The fried chicken was stale, the pizza selection was old and limited to 3 choices, the barbecue chicken tasted rancid. One bite and I was done with it. The restaurant as clean but the food at 5:45 on a Tuesday evening all seemed to have been sitting there since lunch.
The best thing it had going for it was a very nice view of the ocean, and our waitress did a good job of taking care of us. But we won’t be in any hurry to go back.

I was given very strict orders, by the husband and tween, to give this place a five star rating. I debated with them and tried to get a consensus for four stars (after all, it IS just a pizza buffet) but they simply wouldn’t hear of it. My husband said that the fried chicken is to live for and enjoyed the grilled veggies. The tween loved sampling a little bit of everything, but gives them mad props on their green beans! Yes, you read that right — BOTH of them loved their veggies. And I was content with the fresh salad bar and pizza choices. On our second visit, we tried the fresh grilled to order options — grilled steak and tacos. We will certainly dive into the tacos again. The steak was a nice option, but unseasoned. Probably just skip it. Dessert wise — welcome to cinnamon roll and chocolate lava cake heaven! They go quick, so you better grab them while they are there, or you’ll have to wait a while before they have another batch ready. As a side note, bathrooms were sparkly clean with gorgeous fresh flower arrangement. While it is not gourmet, the family will leave full and satisfied. We will certainly be back. This buffet has amazing ocean view too.

Super disappointed with this Izzys. I am a big fan of Izzys. Buffet and Pizza… What more could a girl want? So when I saw that there was an Izzys on the way to our Hotel… I was extremely excited and begged my husband to let us stop here… Big mistake. The place looks run down. They were out of almost EVERYTHING… And only had 1 – 2 trays of pizza (which were empty). I lost my appetite as soon as I tasted the pasta… It’s like they added water to the marinara. Not ok!
The view is great.
The service is «ok».
Will not be visiting here again.

Not a good experience this time. There was hardly any pizza and it was not that busy. The pizza they did have was stale. When new pizza would come out there would be a line 4 – 7 people long due to lack of food. Food trays were empty more often than not. I would not recommend. The restaurant does have a nice view though.

Great buffet. Salad bar very fresh with lots to choose from. Great food great service. Very causal

One sign said open and one sign said closed. We were very hungry, and confused. Ultimately they were closed. Izzy’s, please sync up your signs then we will try again sometime. 1 star for now.

Haven’t been into this Izzy’s in years but have always measured all others by this location in Newport. The food did not disappoint. Everything was hot and prepared great. Service was quick and friendly. I have had bad experiences at other locations where the food and or service was very poor, not here. Best Izzy’s bar none!
The view of the beach couldn’t be better given it was a nice sunny day.
The only thing I could say wasn’t great was the pizza, some of it had been sitting a while and was not as hot and fresh as the other food.

Never thought an izzys pizza would have such a spectacular view of the oregon coast. I was pleasantly surprised! Food was fine service was great and we will be back to this place next time we are in town!

The food isn’t terrible. Pizza is hard to mess up. They do a decent amount of toppings and the sauce and cheese was alright. But the dough is definitely frozen/​store bought. It’s all good though.
I went to pick it up and the girls working the counter were nice. I tipped them $ 5 and suddenly they got nicer. Which was good. It was funny how they changed though.
And– this place is very expensive…

When visiting Newport we always stop by this Izzy’s. The food is always good and all stations are always clean.
The staff is friendly and are on top of requests when addressed. If you go get a window sit. You will not be disappointed with the view.

Yes, the view is outstanding. But I didn’t come here for the view.
Went for lunch. First time at an Izzy’s in more than a dozen years; it used to be one of our more favorite guilty meals out. They had only one variety of veggie pizza, and no BBQ or other chicken pizza, the entire hour we were there; quite disappointing. The pesto veggie slice I had was so-​so; it may have been out too long. The items in the hot buffet were mostly forgettable, but included some of the ones I remember (baked beans, corn, potatoes, etc.), plus chicken, of course. In addition to the BBQ chicken, they now have other kinds, such as a very good dry rub buffalo.
The salad bar was decent, except I didn’t find a salad dressing I liked among the numerous offerings; oh, well. For dessert, they had some fruit, a lot of different kinds of cookies, non-​dairy ice cream (an oxymoron), and other items. I fondly remembered their cinnamon rolls, but the one I had was a considerably smaller, less interesting version (or my memory is poor!). They also had 2 other kinds of buns (some kind of chocolate one, and an upside down pineapple), both of which seemed better. It could be due to freshness, as I think the others were put out more recently. It’s too bad they can’t better manage how long those stay out, as they lose their appeal quickly.
An OK meal, but not the one my memory craved. 2.5 stars, but upgraded to 3 for that view.

Our first time at an Izzy’s. Great view, good food and great value. Good ribs and tri-​tip and lots of other options. My picky kids were even dancing out to the car, so that’s a win.
Only reason for 4 stars is we lost our waitress for 15 mins and our glasses went empty. Not a big deal, but should be mentioned.

I had high hopes because of my recent experience at the Redmond location. Unfortunately, price is directly related to how much I enjoy the food. Did you know that on Saturday and Sunday they charge dinner prices all day? For what reason, I cannot fathom, for there is really no difference.
At any rate, I had two ten year olds and an infant in tow, and in no way was I going to attempt to eat somewhere decent OR wait in line for the popular places.
The pizza here was dead; no one was eating it, so it had been sitting around a while. Lame.
The salad bar was not nearly as exciting as the Izzy’s in Redmond.
The view was pretty good, though. Way too good for Izzy’s.

Are you a fan of Shakey’s Bunch-​of-​Lunch buffet? Well, Izzy’s will hit the spot for you. In fact, as you’ll see on Izzy’s website, Izzy’s restaurants came out from under the Shakey’s franchisee wings. So no surprise when you start piling up your plates and recognize Shakey’s familiar Mojo potatoes.
Not much else to say — it’s your standard budget buffet. You’re not going to get anything particularly outstanding nor particularly awful. I wouldn’t bother with their fancy grill items (Hawaiian pulled pork, riblets, etc.) as they weren’t exactly anything to write home about. What’s nice too is that it’s a fairly small restaurant — at least compared to Hometown Buffets — so it’s not too much of a zoo in there.
And as others have noted, several tables have a spectacular postcard view of Agate Beach below. Real scenic! If you come in for lunch, you can walk off some of the calories you gorged on by heading out to the Yaquina Bay lighthouse just up the way from Izzy’s

Izzy’s is a locally owned and operated restaurant on the top of a hill with an incredible view of Agate Beach and the highway. It seems that all they do are the buffet so come here with an appetite. We came for dinner and sat in the window. The service was good but the atmosphere is a little like Denny’s.
We started out with the salad bar and it was great. Everything was fresh and crisp, the dressings are delicious and I thought the selection was pretty comprehensive. They even list how many calories are in each dressing and pre-​made salad, which I thought was pretty cool.
Then we tried some of the «shiny food» as my boyfriend called it. Fried chicken, pizza, pulled pork and mac and cheese. The fried chicken was decent, actually, but the pork was dry and chewy, the pizza was greasy and not good, and the mac and cheese was mushy and utterly tasteless. What a disappointment. It all *looked* so good.
We’d ordered coffee, which our waiter made fresh, and I have to say that it was really good coffee! Hot and strong and not bitter. We drank several cups. He told us the special of the night was riblets and steak. We had a few of the riblets — which you order from the woodfired oven — and they were delicious. I concluded that the way to do Izzy’s is to eat from the salad bar and the specials from the woodfired grill. They also had fish tacos, which I’d completely forgotten about and wish I’d tried them instead of that shiny stuff.

After reading the reviews here I decided to give this place a try. The offer of a salad buffet and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean were great calling cards.
They call themselves a classic buffet including grill. Lunces are $ 8.99 and dinner is $ 11.99 with senior discount. Pretty good prices!
There were good varieties of items in the buffet. Pizza, for which they claim is a specialty, was excellent and again several types of pizza were offered. One unusual item not often seen were grilled veggies. The desserts included things like cinnamon rolls and cookies and ice cream. Enough choices for the entire family, young and old.
There were only 2 ladies serving everyone so service was a bit lacking. But the view of the ocean while you ate more than made up for that.
