You know, sometimes the world just makes you more grateful for what you have…read more It may throw something at you like a subpar suburban mini chain using Boboli crust, foisting off quarters of personal pizza as "slices," and basically chucking a garlic knot at your head for suggesting that the family-first, live-laugh-love branding may not be enough to hold together a business. That same world may put people in line ahead of you who haven't figured out that their pizza and appetizers aren't made by pure magic and that making the brave decision to pick up your order didn't absolve a kitchen full of workers of the time and effort it took to make a meal for you. There's something you can do very easily if you don't feel that pickup is worth a tip: Drag your lazy, tasteless, hairy-knuckled Pacific Northwest carcass next door to the Plaid Pantry, pull a frozen pizza out of the freezer in the back of the store to the far left, pay for it, and take it home to cook for yourself. But, typically, the world just gives you that pizza shop around the corner from your family's place on the outskirts of civilization that tried to make you a calzone when you first moved in, has made you pizza for every family occasion since, and has managed to put together an Italian cold cut sub with no mayo and pizzas with no ranch dressing. When you realize that each day brings a steady stream of morons up and down Glencoe just looking for reasons to tell you how ignorant they are or how they can diminish once-enjoyable experiences for you, it makes you cherish the good folks who've been blending your apple and cherry ciders without question for years, selling a steady stream of local beers, giving kids arcade games to play and a place to gather, and offering slices at lunch and long tables for family and team dinners. Jersey Girl gets the basics right, both with its food and its surrounding community. It keeps familiar employees around for years and remembers a time when the pandemic kept the numbers painfully low. It doesn't taste exactly like other pizza out there because, as it turns out, each pizza isn't supposed to taste the same. If Dimo's tasted like Baby Doll, there'd be no purpose to it. If Lovely's tasted like Apizza Scholls, it would be a travesty. If Ranch tasted like Atlas? Why bother? Jersey Girl has become a neighborhood favorite on its own merits, and it isn't asking people to make pilgrimages out here to justify its existence. If you wouldn't go to a Western Hillsboro strip mall for pizza normally, don't feel the need to do so now. But if you're in town and you're looking for a pizza multiple steps above a chain and less formal than Pizzario's neapolitan pies, enjoy your stay and tip accordingly.

Picked up two pizzas to go. With such glowing reviews and for a higher than chain pizza places I…read moreexpected phenomenal pizza, unfortunately that wasn't the case. The amount of toppings were great on both the large boardwalk pizza and the half pep and half cheese. The crust? Had a strange minerality or slight chlorine taste to it. Not sure if it was the crust but all the pizzas had it. The cheese on both tasted amazing and fresh. My young daughter (elementary school age) after this however only taking just one bite the same day and a day later reheated for dinner has now decided that "I don't like pizza" which is kinda wild considering she likes others. This is also an establishment that tries to force tips upon pickup for a food which is honestly dumb and annoying but works for them as my wife didn't want to press the custom button and give 0$ even though she should have. I think this needs to be stopped and is a shame on this business. Less so than the unfortunate taste of the pizza, but perhaps to some even more of an issue.

The sauce was the biggest letdown it wasn't very flavorful. Toppings tasty and good quality. Overall a decent option when visiting Next Level. They were overly busy and only one person working the day we were there, that caused a significant delay getting our food.

I'm looking forward to trying their Strawberry Acai beverage, they had run out by the time I ordered my pizza late in the afternoon.

In general, the Portland metro area doesn't have burgers worth crowing about…read more The old timers will rave about Helvetia Tavern, Skyline, Roake's, Jim Dandy, Mike's Drive In, Fuller's, and Nob Hill burgers. These are various takes on Burger King's Whopper and it's difficult to prove otherwise. Canard's steamed slider? A chef'd up White Castle. Champs, Farmer and the Beast and Tulip Shop? Yes, every city has smash burgers now, congratulations. Wolf's Head? The issue with throwing pork into the mix is some days it's glorious and some days it's the driest burger you'll ever eat. Higgins?! Yes, dad, your $30 bacon cheeseburger was totally worth it and not at all a slightly upgraded McMenamins offering. But Five Stars? I'm genuinely stunned every time Grand Lodge has a show and this place isn't packed. Those who know treasure it, and those who lack the patience are missing out. There's enough commentary on the spartan interior and the counter-and-drink-cooler aesthetic, but the important detail is the note to customers to the right of the register: Your meal is going to take time. It's going to be perhaps 20 to 40 minutes. It will not come out before that time. If you are in a hurry, please go elsewhere. They say this as straightforwardly as they can: They would rather have the time to prepare your meal correctly and sell fewer burgers than churn out nonsense to more customers. Armed with that knowledge, I ordered a bulgogi cheeseburger, took my drink, and settled in to watch the traffic. On a weekday, my only companions were older couples who'd clearly been coming in for years. About 25 minutes later, the burger arrived on its char-toasted kaiser bun (a rarity out here). On the first bite, I encountered both flavor and texture I could only compare to a wagyu-based take on a Big Mac that I'd sampled at a Chicago culinary festival. The patty melted into a near pate, while the bulgogi blended with the cheese into a complementary umami flavor that chains like Umami Burger never quite achieved and local spots like Mr. Bento seem too focused on speed and volume to prepare correctly. I am absolutely late to the party here and realize that countless influencers, food critics, car clubs, and Western Washington County regulars have already made 5 Stars an overwhelming success. But that "best in Oregon" claim isn't just a tilted Yelp score or foodie hyperbole: It's a whole lot of time and effort paying off in a product worth the expense. 5 Star unquestionably makes the best burger in this state, but it's the care taken by the family behind it and the genuine love of the community surrounding it that separates it from the crowd. P.S. I can't believe the former owner of Piattino left a bad review. What would I rather do with my life: Make food and experiences that people remember months to years later and serve as the basis for comparison to every burger that comes next, or open the 30th reclaimed-barnwood restaurant in town with a forgettable take on the same pizza made by at least three other Portland spots?
