    Mushroom pizza
    Mindy P.

    I finally got down here to try Backpacker Pizza in the heart of downtown Camas. In my opinion, the location is the main reason I would come. There's a lot of great pizza in the Vancouver area. It's nice for me to just walk to dinner. This is a casual place where you order at the counter and find your table. We went early, around 5:00 on a Friday. No problem getting a table then! The many offers a lot of pizza options, from gourmet to more traditional. I saw a couple of options that made the decision hard. I opted for the potato prosciutto and my daughter wanted a different flavor so she got the mushroom pizza (I can't remember what it's called). They have beer, wine and cider, in addition to non-alcoholic bevs. I was unfamiliar with the wine options and the person taking orders made a suggestion and let me taste it. That was nice! I had a nice Malbec for $14. I thought that was a bit pricey. The staff were all friendly. It definitely had a friendly neighborhood vibe, which counts with me. The pizza was good and had interesting flavors, both of them. The mushroom one was rich, as they usually are. I enjoyed the salty/sweet combo on the prosciutto potato. The crust was a bit disappointing IMO. Just plain and not very interesting. My favorites are wood-fired and Detroit, for reference. When I ate my leftovers at home, I added a drop of honey. That was good.

    Went to Camas Days and found this place. Looked very nice inside. Tried them. Really great beer selection and good pasta and tasty pizzas. Had a pep pizza and combo pizza. Plus salad so huge fed 4. And pasta. Recommend

    First time here and staff is friendly and welcoming. The pizza has that nice crispy texture at the bottom while keeping the toppings together even when pulling it apart from the other slices. I enjoyed both pizzas. Preferred a bit more bacon on my pizza. The potato and prosciutto was different but still delicious. I really enjoyed the ranch too! Very dilly :P They support local artists with the wall art and family welcoming vibes of the restaurant. Will be back to try the special pizza!

    Had a very late lunch here. Good selection of pies and beer. The service was great and pizzas came out quickly, but our crusts were a little tough. Two people can easily finish a whole pie. Overall a nice experience for a Saturday afternoon.

    The crust appear quite dark and rigid, especially around the edges where it looks dry and overly firm. The cheese near the edge is caramelized and hardened, which typically happens when a pizza is overbaked or kept too long in the oven. The pepperoni and bell peppers look a bit shriveled and dry--another sign of overcooking. that biting into it would be difficult and not enjoyable.

    Thank you for the great service and for the gluten free options! Mediterranean salad is a must for us!

    First I wanna start by saying that the staff here were so friendly! They were able to accommodate a huge group of us and kept making sure to come by and check on us and continuously clearing our plates. The restaurant is very cute and clean. Got the hibiscus limeade which was okay. The pappardelle lamb pasta was good but probably wouldn't get it again. But the star of the night was definitely their pizza! They had a buffalo chicken pizza that was absolutely delicious, it was so saucy and flavorful and had a nice crust. It was not your traditional take on buffalo pizza and they really outdid their selves with that one! 10/10 would recommend that pizza. Definitely would come back to see what other tasty creations they come up with.

    We're so lucky to have Backpacker Pizza in downtown. Not only are they delicious, but they're great neighbors who care about the community! Backpacker is involved in our downtown Camas community garden and they generously provided us with some beautiful pizzas for our kick-off party. It was the highlight of the day and every single pizza was perfectly crispy, with unique toppings and flavor combos. Their homemade ranch and the quality of their ingredients took it to another level. Thank you Backpacker!

    The food was really good! The service was also top notch, and they have a happy hour from 2 theough 4pm. Our server Corey was very kind and friendly! Would definitely come back for the food and atmosphere.

    Tried to get in here earlier, since the restaurant opened just recently, but they've been really busy (super happy to see that). Stopped in this time on a Saturday afternoon about 2:30 PM, and (for a group of four adults) grabbed a couple of pizzas, a couple desserts, and a beer; ended up being just the perfect amount. Got the Thru Hiker and the Caprese, and both were great. Somewhat modest beer selection, but choices were right on the mark, and they also offer several other sorts of drinks (soda, coffee, canned beer). Service was super friendly, and pizzas came out in about 20 to 25 minutes, which was reasonable. Space is not huge, which I understand, so especially if you are local, if you don't get in when you want to, come back later and give them some business. Or, at worst, go walk around downtown and then come back in. Really a nice addition to downtown Camas.

    Pepperoni w/ Cheese Sandwich

    When I tried out their Pizza Sandwich, they tasted amazing. I love it so much, I highly recommend trying it out. I'm very haply due to the employees are friendly at all times. Food perfectly arrived in a timely manner with the best quality. The environment is a calm zone area.

    Amazing Caesar Salad (their way). Amazing! As you can see!

The mashed potato and veggies were excellent. They topped the steak with couple pickled onion rings which was quite refreshing. And don't forget the garlic infused butter served with the steak. It was wonderful. I had my wedge salad while my husband had their soup of the day. It was a big salad which Ai appreciate. The blue cheese crumbles and salad dressing was fantastic. The chocolate mousse dessert was a piece of art. It was quite big and can be easily shared with another person. The atmosphere inside was nice and modern in a warm sense. The servers were very attentive. I am not sure what brand of root beer do they serve but it was very good.
