Salads are beautiful, pizzas from the brick oven are the most delicious thing ever! Be prepared for a wait, unless you go in off hours.

I call it 'stah 'zah: Simple pizza with a hipster vibe. You're not gonna get super cheap or super fancy here, but it's a nice middle ground that appeals to both pizzaphiliacs and casual eaters.

I tend to keep it simple with the classic Margherita, as I think his raw tomato sauce is the best I’ve ever had. My husband swears by the Soppressata, which has ruined me for all other pepperoni pies. Read more

The current version of the seasonal roasted vegetable plate showcases smoky pardon peppers -- delicious, and not often seen on Portland menus.

Cocktails, wood fired pizza, fresh desserts, the bread (and by extension the croutons on the salads).

Generally a long wait but the pizza is delicious. A whole pie is perfect to split between two people

Ask for table bread; it's pillowy soft and is Ken's original expertise. Served with olive oil, sea salt and red pepper flakes.

Delicious fresh ingredients. Great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Prices are extremely reasonable.

Don't miss the veg plate if you're hungry enough for both pizza and something else. And save room for some of the best desserts in town. My favorite pizza? Prosciutto? Soprasatta? They're all great! Read more

if you happen in when the Spring Onion pizza is on the menu, it’s a must-try. Read more

The pizza is delievered to me still seething with the oven's heat, the cheese fused into the slightly piquant tomato sauce, and the singed basil wafting its scent into the air.

The bacon pizza is a-maz-ing! Crispy bacon with a wonderful blend of cheeses. The mushroom wasn't too shabby either!

Try the Fennel Sausage & Onions Pizza - Add the side of arugula to any pizza for extra tasty nutrition points.

Two pizzas feed three people. Mix and match, we’re a fan of the arugula, the olive and the arrabbiata!

Amazing crust, great service, get in line early!!

Try the Olive pizza. The olive flavor bakes into every bite without being overpowering. Amazing!

Citrus salad was amazing and the Pizza was perfect.

You usually have to ask for it, but bread and olive oil are free.

The Margherita pizza is deliciousness

Peach and bacon salad: I think I love you.
Lisa S WongNovember 27, 2009
Arrive early, shortly after they open to get a seat. Pizza is worth the wait if you have time otherwise (40+ min wait).
Bill HOctober 24, 2010
Awesome pizza. The cool, chatty, older bartender is actually Ken.

Service pretty bad...waitress response to a forgotten beverage: "you should have let me know". No apology. Really?

By far the worst experience I've had Pizza and service stay alway terrible terrible terrible
Andy McMillanMarch 7, 2013
Who're you kidding, walk to Scholls. You're so close already, just keep going. It's like 20 more blocks, that's nothing. And the pizza there has flavour and ingredients and everything.
