This is the best restaurant ever! This should be a national chain! The quality of the pasta and ingredients is top-notch. Service is fast, and portions are generous. I took my wife and four kids here yesterday and not a complaint from anyone - which is a miracle in itself. ;) Please support this restaurant so they stick around for good.

I can not hype this place up enough! I have literally been all times of the day; first thing when they opened, mid-afternoon and right before closing. All of the ingredients were super fresh! The cut leafy veggies were fresh and crisp. (Not withered and brown like some places that cut them way in advance.) You build your own pasta dish (pasta, sauce(s), toppings, and seasonings) and pay one price, no matter the amount of toppings or extras. They have over 30 toppings to choose from including meats, cheeses, veggies, and more, even Cheez-Its and Hot Cheetos.If they can close the lid, it's a go! My pasta was loaded to the top. They had to squish it down to make it close. They are very, very generous with the portions. The first time I got the The Boss size and I literally got 3 meals out of it. The next time I got The Supervisor size and got 2 meals out of it.If you aren't sure what to get, they have some Boss Favs selections you can choose from or customize. Every bowl comes with a piece of fresh garlic toast.Thier pasta is made fresh in house every day. Their meatballs are amazing and I'm not even a fan of meatballs. The staff is super friendly, welcoming and patient. I highly recommend them! They have something for everyone.Vegetarian options: All of their pasta is vegetarian and vegan: macaroni, fettuccine, spaghetti and penne.Their cheese, Alfredo, basil pesto and marinara Sauces are vegetarian. They have tons of toppings like caramelized onions, charred corn, garlic mushrooms, broccoli, basil, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, parsley, olives, lemon, cilantro, peas, jalapeños, banana peppers, spinach, black olives, bread crumbs, Cheez-Its and Hot Cheetos as well as 6 types of cheese.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available.Parking: It's in a shopping center with other businesses but there is plenty of parking and I've always gotten front door parking no matter what shift I went.Kid-friendliness: Many kid friendly options like Mac and Cheese, and plenty of toppings to choose from like fresh meats, cheeses, veggies, andWheelchair accessibility: The layout is open and very wheelchair friendly. You will have enough room to move and the chairs aren't stationary so you should have your pick of tables.

I wish I would have found Pasta Boss sooner! Such a fun and unique concept with fresh made pasta and any possible topping you could think of! Prices are great especially for the ammt of food you get (don't forget the complimentary garlic Texas toast! Customer service was fantastic, very kind and patient team helped us make all our decisions. We were even lucky enough to have a pasta making lesson! This will be a new favorite for our family. Welcome to Keizer Pasta Boss!

Portion size is pretty good for the price, and the order I put together tasted as good or better than what I was expecting. The chicken was flavored nicely, as well as the Alfredo sauce. Being my first time through, the staff was friendly and helpful. I will be coming back.

The food was very good and service was fast and friendly. We liked that there is a set price for each serving size regardless of toppings. We tried the Pesto and the Alfredo, both were very good. They do have Gluten Free pasta which is a must for my wife.

Amazing. We all 3 got fresh pasta for our macs and cheese when we showed up and it was before a rush so the Crew was fun and making jokes. They had a great vibe and created a fun atmosphere. The food was great! Only complaint was that the shrimp was a little dry, but we went late evening, so it's possible it was that. The pork and bacon was a bit more fatty than I'd like, thats a personal preference, though. It's all around a great spot to go. Garlic toast was awesome too, easy to please me there though. The mac wasn't totally the best warmed up, though. 4.75/5 :) amazing soda machines as well, bussing as the kids would sayVegetarian options: Easy to avoid meat here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free penne option, as well as sauce option I believe! Can't speak on every topping though.Parking: Easy parking lot access across from fred meyerKid-friendliness: The crew was friendly and laughed at his little jokes, made the fella smile :) I appreciated their open-ness to a younger kid.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, very open lobby

Staff and atmosphere are great, went in to try their pasta all the toppings and sauce are delicious. The noodles on the other hand taste undercooked and chewy. They have a lot of potential and will hopefully improve so I can give them another chance.

I see the potential to become something like a MOD’s pizza, Chipotle, or similar. It’s very affordable. However the quality could have been better.My husband’s shrimp could have used more flavor. The Italian sausage was tough and cold. The marinara sauce was warm but very thick and clumpy. It was also sweet and I prefer savory. (Personally!) The garlic bread was freshly made and it was my favorite of the meal.As a customer it would be nice to feel as though the employees have it all under control. In our short interaction with the employees, our cashier cashed us out and then proceeded to make our garlic bread, while also handing a Dasher a food order. I could also see into the kitchen and could see the messiness running of the restaurant. Groceries on the table and packaging in the trash. I heard them say “we will make more” and “we will grab more” multiple times.I could just tell it was going to be a little rough. And it was. Not bad! But not great.

We had the spaghetti with meat sauce and the shrimp fettuccine. They were both boss size, which was enough for several meals for each of us. I would definitely order smaller size next time. The service was as quick as they could do, considering you pick your own toppings They could upgrade the decor, it is very basic. I will go back again sometime.
