That’s a lot of pizza for a city of 15,000. “Pendleton, Oregon, is the biggest pizza town I have ever seen,” said Jerry Covington, owner/operator of Domino’s Pizza. In addition to Domino’s Pizza delivery service, Pendleton has three pizza restaurants: Big John’s, Godfathers and Klondike’s. There’s also a take-and-bake pizza outlet: Papa Aldo’s. And several store delis sell pizzas. When the sales of all those businesses are combined, 4,000 pizzas a week might be a conservative estimate.
