Let me paint a quick picture for you. We had just left Insomnia Cookies and have been turned away because they had too much demand and didn't want to sell the remaining cookies this early in the night. It was 11 p.m. and I and II college-age buddies had the munchies. We had eaten a full dinner at Otto's two hours prior. One of my friends had the brilliant idea to go to Canyon Pizza. He told us it was the cheapest place around and you can get a ton of food for little to no cost. We were excited to try the slices, but quickly realized this was not a good idea. After my first bite I knew the only value here came to those that were trying to sober up in the middle of the night. This could be quite possibly the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. Because I knew my buddies had mentioned they like this place I tried to keep my mouth shut however seconds later when the third member of our party mentioned even being six beers in that he couldn't stomach another bite I knew I was onto something. This pizza was worse than what I would find sitting under a heat lamp at Sheetz. When we look behind the counter at our options the slices look like they've been sitting there for half the day. They were cold, slightly shriveled-up and uninviting. The girl was nice and took our order and then put them in the oven for a minute before sliding them across to us on the counter. We all took bites, we all looked at each other and we all did the same thing: and that was throw them in the trash. The good news is two slices of pizza and more than a half-dozen breadsticks only cost $5 so we didn't feel like we lost too much money. It's hard to believe anybody giving this place a good rating because the pizza was downright unedible. That goes for me being sober, one of my buddies six beers in and another that takes pride in living off fast food like Taco Bell. None of us ate our food. When you get a chance do yourself a favor and take a look at the all so uninviting condiment bar. This includes some ranch that looks like it's been sitting out for three days, marinara sauce and a spicy marinara. There were beautiful stains on the counter and I can imagine the health department wouldn't pass this place. I wouldn't come back but I'm guessing some college students rave about this place because you can get a slice of cheese pizza for a dollar and their form of a breadstick for $0.50. If you're just looking to fill your belly I'm sure you'll do fine. I'm sorry if this review seems negative but the only way people trust you and your reviews is if you tell the truth every time. And in that case this is some of the worst pizza I've ever had.

Nobody around when I came to pick up my order. I waited 15 minutes for this guy to quit laughing and talking with his buddy in the back - we made eye contact plenty of times and he saw me standing there. I had to shout to get his nasty self to the front. Then he gives me an attitude, like I interrupted him. Asked for my name on the order...then asked for my receipt, probably just to be an A-hole. This is 100% poor college kid pizza. I paid $10 extra bucks for 3 toppings on a plain cheese pizza and got very scarce toppings. I could have bought a can of mushrooms and slapped them on the pizza myself for cheaper than the $3 they charged for 6 f'ing mushrooms. Screw this place, and the guy who served us.

Worst customer service and even worse food. I ordered create you own party sticks with pepperoni, jalapeño and pineapple. When it arrived it looked good. The cheese seemed kind of thick. As soon as biting into it you could tell it was totally raw dough. I called them back and the person answering the phone blamed me for "all the toppings" when you can see in this picture its way too much cheese. He offered me a $7 coupon and only offered to remake it and send it a new one after starting to argue with me on the phone. Don't waste your money to an establishment like this. There are too many people out there doing a better job. I could cook a better pizza with my eyes closed.

I had their $4 combo deal... AMAZING. The place was packed but the line moved quickly. It is known at the spot to get pizza after the bars, parties or just when your craving a slice. Their deal really is great, it consists of any 2 slices with a can of soda and 1 pepperoni roll or 2 cinnamon sticks. They have a condiment section, it has 3 sauces 2 of those being ranch and spicy marinara. They also have the other condiments like red pepper, black pepper, oregano etc. They also ring the gong for every tip they get and the crowd just makes every ring more exciting. It really is a good time! Their pizza was good The right amount of cheese and sauce.Their pepperoni stick was my favorite. I definitely recommend coming here and they are open until late ! I also heard one of the people say that the pie is 8 bucks! Great prices!

First of all, I live in the middle of nowhere, so delivery is a novel thing for me. I thought about ordering at 4:50 and opened up Yelp to see what was near by. Well damn! Yelp has a delivery option. I looked at a few reviews on a bunch of places and all of them had negative things to say about delivery. I thought, well, I'm in no rush, let's give it a try. Canyon Pizza seemed the best and the reviews said the pizza is okay. Soooo, I clicked the "place your order" button and hot damn, the things on their menu on Yelp we're actually the items available to order. (I had super low expectations for this working.) I choose a strombolli and Pepperoni Sticks. I choose cash as an option to pay and put in the address of my hotel and clicked the submit button at 5:05pm. With my continued low expectations I figured something would go wrong. I got comfortable and prepared to wait the 45-60 minutes the Yelp site said the wait would be. The app said to check my email for confirmation, so I did. The email had three links to choose, check order status, reordered, and check order status on Yelp. I chose check order status and it said that my food would be delivered at 5:36. I figured that was wrong didn't even care that it was probably wrong. Low expectations made me chill! (Also, I'm almost never chill, soooooooo.....) So here's the amazing thing. The delivery guy called at 5:30 to confirm my address and said he'd be here in a minute. WHAT? NOOOOO! This process, which is ripe for horror and tears worked AND was ahead of schedule? How does that even happen? I met the guy in the lobby. He was nice, neatly dressed, and clean. (I'm a Mom, these are things that are important to me.) I paid him and headed back to my room for dinner. The Stromboli was HUGE and delicious! I ordered ham and pineapple! It was perfectly cooked and wonderfully messy. The Pepperoni Rolls are huge. I was anticipating something similar to a garlic knots, but they are literally slices of pizza, rolled up. Super delicious and way more food then I was prepared for.... Ladies of Penn State, if everyone on your floor is PMSing, you neeeeeed these pepperoni rolls! $6 for 6! You almost have to. I think you owe it to your hormones and hormones of the people you live near to have these pepperoni rolls! If you're looking for something fancy, then I don't even know why your reading this review. Stop it! You're a troll. If you want some bang for your buck, Canyon Pizza is for you!

Literally top notch service, North even though it was so late at night, absolutely served top notch - extremely attentive and kind, continuously checking on customers, advocates for positive attitude, unlimited patience. I recommend everybody who visits state college to stop upon this joint. 10/10

Okay, here's the deal, if you are looking for high quality "shi-shi" pizza places, Canyon ISNT for you. If you want awesome tasting pizza for an awesome price, you can't beat Canyon Pizza. Canyon has an extremely varied Pizza menu ranging from Cheese, to Everything. Their prices are some of the cheapest in State College, and their service is excellent. The jewel is their 4 Dollar Pizza Deal. 2 slices... ANY Slices, 2 breadsticks, OR a Pepperoni Stix, and a 32 Oz. Fountain Soda. Where else can you get a meal like that for that price? Some negatives... VERY limited seating. Very limited parking. Street only. Sometimes it can get crowded, but they do their best to keep the line moving. All in all, a great Penn State tradition!
