    Gotta love the classics
    John K.

    Not many pizza-by-the-slice places seem to be open for lunch anymore. Humdinger stands out as an exception to this trend. Though they're located at a busy traffic intersection, I've never had a problem finding nearby street parking when I'm craving a slice. Humdinger is a big, bright space with high ceilings and huge south facing windows. Combine this with cheery orange walls, and pizza isn't the only thing that will brighten your mood. I don't get here often enough to recognize faces behind the counter, but service has always been efficient and friendly, yet another reason to come back.

    Maybe a clear 4.5. the pizza itself okay, Plenaty of good chewy cheese, the crust maintains structure--slices this huge need to be folded. And these two slices totaled $7.50. Friendly service. High-ceilinged, well-windowed space, usually pretty empty

    Caesar Salad

    We had the food delivered so I cannot speak to the cleanliness or friendliness of the restaurant or staff. We ordered the Fully Loaded Compact (12"), Caesar Salad, and Build Your Own Compact (12") - pepperoni, ham, fresh pineapple. The pizzas were on the more expensive side but we had high hopes. The pizzas and salad were pretty basic but good. The grease was there but not over the top. Everything was ok but not something I'd seek out.

    Awesome pizza! Crust was thin and soft enough to be foldable, with good amount of toppings. And only $4 for a solid-sized slice from the pizza case! Pinball arcade wall, with event flyers for tournaments they host there! They also had a bar area in the adjacent room. Lots of regular and picnic style seating.

    I'm pretty surprised this spot has 3.5 stars, however it may be due to the slices. While I got a whole pie instead of slices, I did notice the slices, at least at the time I was there, looked a bit stale as if they've been sitting around a while. We ordered the humdinger size whole pie which we split half and half. This fed my family of 5.5 (half for a toddler) and it was plenty of food. Visiting family from New York which is known for great pizza, while it's hard to compare I think this is some of the best pizza I've had in Portland. It was not too think and not too thick, with a fairly generous amount of toppings. Additionally they have a bar you can get a great beer selection at, and various arcade games (such as racing and Pac-Man) that is great for entertainment as you wait for the pizza to cook.

    Loved all the pin ball machines! Staff were super friendly and the pizza was delicious!! They have both vegan and vegetarian options.

    I got Humdinger pizza and garlic knots for takeout one night recently when I didn't want to cook. Ordering online was easy and it was ready when they said it would be. Free parking nearby but it can be hard to find a spot - they're on a corner in "downtown" Lents. Their "compact" pizza is 12 inches, feeds one to two, and costs $16-22. They also have the "sedan" at 16" from $27-33 and a 24" big pizza for dine-in only (which you get a prize for if you eat by yourself in one sitting). Slices are $5.50. So it's all kinda pricy. Except for the garlic knots which are just $5. Pizza was standard, thinner crust, good toppings, good size. Garlic knots were delicious and super oily and came with sides of marinara and ranch. Not sure I'd return for regular price, but I might be back for their various weekly events and specials: Shifters Bar is next door for beer and cocktails. Trivia on Thursdays. Industry night on Sundays. $11.50 lunch specials on weekdays. Half price pizza when you buy two drinks on Wednesdays.

    I was just there to pick up a pizza, so I didn't observe much, but the guy at the register was friendly and the pizza was pretty good! Definitely not bad for Portland pizza.

    Pre-ordered pizza at noon for dinner for pick up at six o'clock. Four pizzas plus tip for $120. They forgot to make one of our pizzas so we had to wait 20 minutes which made us late for our meet up. The on time pizzas were so burnt they weren't good. This isn't my first experience like this-- won't be going back. No refund or discount was offered. Don't recommend at this time.

    I've only had delivery from Pizza Kat, so I can't say anything about the location, but the food is…read moregreat. Had pizza from here twice during a long stay in Portland, and enjoyed it both times. The first time, we had a pepperoni pizza, a side of meatballs, and grape sorbetto. We liked the meatballs so much that, the second time, we had the Alley Kat pizza and, again, the grape sorbetto. The pizzas were both excellent--good crust with a great chew, good proportions for the toppings, and a cheese that tasted like cheese. (reductive? Maybe, but so much mozzarella is bland and rubbery that it seems worth mentioning.) The grape sorbetto was an excellent way to finish the meal both times: sweet, but not too sweet, and very bright to cleanse the palate.

    I hate to write this review because I was genuinely excited to try this place, but with so many…read moregreat pizza options nearby, this one is an easy skip for me. Unfortunately, this was both our first and last visit. I don't think I've ever disliked a pizza before, but this may be the first one I would genuinely call bad. I enjoy wood-fired pizza and don't mind a little char, but somehow this pizza tasted noticeably bitter despite having very little visible charring. Whether it was the lack of sauce, the sauce itself being quite bland, or simply an imbalance of flavors, the end result just wasn't pleasant. The biggest issue is the value. A $25 cheese pizza doesn't need to be life-changing, but it should at least taste better than Costco's. In this case, unfortunately, it didn't. If your goal is to enjoy great pizza, I'd recommend one of the many other pizza spots in the area instead.

It was now happy hour, so I ordered a gluten-free spicy salami pizza. It was one of the best thin crust pizzas I have ever had! I thought about saving some of it for later, but I inhaled the whole thing. The sauce was perfectly proportioned. The spicy salami and cheese blend was incredible. I highly recommend this pizza!

I don't know. There are tasting notes and even the actual recipe for the drink! I've never seen that before. If something doesn't suit your fancy, ask for something off menu. I've done it several times and always been pleased.

    Portland is a tough place for pizzerias since the variety & quality is so good throughout the city…read more But for 25+ (35?) years, this little slice-or-whole-pie place in NW 23rd has churned out the tied-for-best pizza in the city. It's true NY style, thin enough to fold if you're walking, the perfect amount of oily, with only the freshest of mozzarella. Slices are available at the counter (and a few stools if you're just having a quick lunch) all day. For a whole pie, call ahead to schedule (503-22-SLICE has been their number since I moved here decades ago) and they'll give you a time generally 20-35 minutes in the future depending on how busy they are. Staff are just like NYC: no suck-up, extra sarcasm, and if you stand at the register for 5+ minutes fumbling with your wallet, they might make a snide comment. But it's endearing grouchy, not really mean, and it adds to the "flavor" of the whole place. Parking in NW 23 is usually very hard.

The guy on the other side of the counter said something like, "You think the city puts those tables there and keeps them clean?" and some other rude remarks. Maybe they are trying to be New Yorkers and play the part? I don't know, I was jut put off by it. I waited for them to heat up the slices and then went outside to eat with my wife. The pizza was just "ok" and nothing like I remember. Between the attitude and the quality of food, we will not be returning.

For example, when the Arugula Salad is made well, it is fantastic. However we have had repeated experiences where the greens are not fresh, or the dressing is forgotten, or there is no cheese. We have had repeated issues specifically with takeout orders, over many years. Additionally, if you dine-in, there is an entire bottle of oil on the table that you are encouraged to use on your pizza. It is delicious, and really completes the pizza flavor profile! They used to automatically include two small containers of oil per pizza if you ordered to-go. Current policy appears to be to not include any oil with the pizza (unless explicitly asked) and to only provide a maximum of two oils (even if multiple pizzas are ordered). I don't know if there is an oil shortage or what, but this is silly for a place that charges so much for their pizza. Life of Pie is a typical Portland restaurant that expects you to tip before you receive your food (and also expects you to bus your own table). To me, this expectation alongside with the inconsistency of the food for the price, is disappointing, and does not encourage people to go out of their way to return. When the food is good it is a solid place, however I would expect much more consistency for the price they command.
