DENO’S PIZZERIA ~ OUR STORY

Deno’s Pizzeria has been a community gathering place and eatery in the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego since the early 1980’s and has been locally owned and operated by Kathleen Valentine since 1997.

Deno’s warm, friendly atmosphere and its very special pizza crust continue to attract families and employees living and working in the area. The pizzeria is highly recognized for its great eat-in and take-out foods, which are always fresh, with dough and sauce prepared daily from Deno’s own distinctive recipes.

Our menu is packed with traditional and specialty pizzas to satisfy our customer’s tastes and dietary requirements. The BBQ Chicken, Spicy Thai, Alfredo Combo, and Hombre with Chicken or Beef, are just a few of the favorite specialty pizzas. Of course, the Pepperoni and Combination are among the traditional favorites. For customers with food allergies, Deno’s proudly offers Gluten Free pizza crust, soy cheese, and other vegetarian choices.

Over the years, for those with a lighter appetite, we have expanded our menu, adding a variety of salads, including, the Mela Noci (apple walnut), Caesar and Insalata (mixed green salad) - topped with Deno’s own Caesar and Balsamic dressing made fresh at the shop. Also available by the bottle to take home! Try our delicious new Asian Chicken salad with our own Peanut dressing.

Have a taste for something other than pizza or salad? Try one of our tasty calzones or create your own from any of our delicious pizza toppings. Or select from one of our three pastas served with warm and tender breadsticks; creamy Alfredo, savory Pesto and Marinara pastas, add chicken for a hearty dish.

Sandwiches are served hot with potato chips; tempting selections include Italian Sub, Meatball, Chicken Parmesan and Chipoltle Chicken. Share one of our popular appetizer baskets of Hot chicken wings or breadsticks and dipping sauces. To complete your meal, a wide selection of Microbrews and Domestic Beer on tap, Wine, soft drinks and juices are available. Something to please every palate in your party!

Deno's Pizzeria gets a 'Cheap Eats Top Pick 2009'
Write-up in the Oregonian

~ read the April 2009 article at OregonLive.com.

"Dining room meets rec room: paper-topped wood tables in a clean, well-lighted space with a pool table. Teeming with families, most of them regulars. Deno's has long striven to keep things fresh, simple, original. The kids love it as much as the parents -- the pinball and video games may help."

Sponsors, Vendors Make Fall Food Fest Successful

by Steve Gilmore
Wilsonville Chamber CEO

"The Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce has produced the Fall Food Fest for the past nine years. The idea of providing samples from nearly 30 food/beverage purveyors for only the cost of admission makes this event very appealing (as nearly 600 people will attest.) Costs are kept down due to the generosity of the vendors who provide the samples, by the support of a title sponsor and several major sponsors, and by the aid of many volunteers.  Thanks to all..."
