I know I must have written a review for this place.... And somehow it isn't showing up. I don't understand it. This place is great! Top pizza in PDX. I know I said this place is right up there with Kens. I was planning on writing an update. It's been a while since we ordered pizza from here, we wanted delivery. My wife ordered it, and did a tweak on the mushroom, added onions and feta instead of the smoked cheese, it was soooooooooooooo good!! It was so cheesy, I was concerned for my heart, but I was very happy. And get this... this really makes them stand out from the rest. They give you a small bag with fresh basil leaves. Who does that? It was perfect to rip up on to the pizza. Grandma style is my other fav. Thin but not too thin and great crust. Lots of great flavors. read more

Terrific pizza, but I'll never order online again. Literally all of the toppings came on one side, instead 50/50 split as requested.

They don't skimp on the pep! Great all around, friendly staff, quickly baked, chewy crust and very tasty pies! $21 for this pizza. Winning! Cheers everybody. read more

Picked up a pizza while in town for a show. It was ready so quickly and it was DELICIOUS. I will absolutely be back to stuff my face the next time I'm in town. read more

I go here whenever I have a hankering for cheap eats and good pizza. The pizza slices are all grandma style and spot on, but the real slice of heaven is the winter special: Beef Bolognese. Rich, tasty chunks of beef cheek on pizza?! Sign me up every time. Owner is super nice, food is flavorful and well made. There's a few outdoor tables and standing room inside next to the counter. Meta is the crown jewel of the Brooklyn food scene, delivering affordable and tasty dishes found nowhere else in the neighborhood. read more

It is quite easy to drive right by this place, but try not to. Probably the most underrated or unknown pizza places in Portland. I really like their Grandma and margherita is my favorite. read more

We have found Meta to be consistent and provide delicious pizza. The food was easy to order online and was ready at the time we were given. We ordered the sausage and peppers pizza, half cheese/half pepperoni pizza and a Caesar salad. The pizzas were great- good amount of fresh tasty toppings and barely any grease. The Caesar salad was pretty basic, could have used more dressing. We'll continue to keep Meta in our rotation of pizza places. read more

I wanted to check out Enthea Tea house...oh no...steps...but Meta Pizza had a sing that says... open and slices. I could see in the window a person seemed happy tossing the pizza dough which comes from Fleur de lis by the way. I checked out the slices...pepperoni was looking at me but I went for Grandma style. Three different sauces flavors that had my mind thinking about the flavors wait is this wine. A cozy place with a couple of inviting picnic tables outside. Inside the counter where you can stand and savor your selection. Reminds me of the bocadillo shops in Spain. Nice selection of condiments on a table near by. Jake the owner greeted me a welcoming place. Many to go orders passed through as I was enjoying my grandma's style slice. Great little spot with excellent pizza. Stop by have a slice take some to go. read more

Quintessentially Portland, excellent crust, great toppings, good enough service (actually quite good). Can't wait to go back and take my kids. Love the neighborhood, too. read more

Got some pies from them recently and I really enjoyed thier topping combos. The Pizza Week Special one had tons of tender chicken and slightly tangy, spicy sauce. Delicious. Also really love how you can do half-and-half. The other pie was half Sausage & Peppers and Brooklyn Raab. The white sauce on the Brooklyn was nice but I thought the greens kinda threw the balance off a bit. The sausage was tasty though. Again, very generous on the protein. Dough was soft and had a good texture. Wish I could have had them fresher out of the oven. Prices were great and the person on the phone was super friendly. A solid takeout pizza spot! read more

Meta Pizza - PIZZA WEEK The Stissing House BBQ Chicken Pizza and Half & Half Pie of Brooklyn Raab and Sausage and Peppers - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Humble people serving a great pizza. The vegan pizza is amazing. I couldn't make a difference between a regular pizza n vegan. It's a cozy place offering a good pizza. If you stumble on this place and still deciding. Go try them. They offer both by a slice or whole pie of goodness. read more

I love some good pizza. Who doesn't? Meta Pizza has been around for a short time in the formally occupied space that was Pizza Doughnais. One of my favorite places in town prior to them closing. (side note, I hope the two of them come back with another pizza idea, I need some sfincione.) So the folks from Pizza Doughnais, on their IG feed, recommended Meta and granted it took me some time, and a recent stay at an AirBnB around the corner, to finally venture in. I'm glad I finally did. In an article last year?, the owner of Dimo's Apizza made mention of basing a good pizzeria by their margarita pizza. I grew up eating fresh garlic pizzas, so a maragarita with roasted garlic sounded like a plan. Good choice. The crust was right on par with places like Dimo's, Red Sauce and Pizza Thief. The sauce had a little sweetness to it but you got the full tomato taste and cheese and roasted garlic? A nice balance and bite. Overall, a solid pizza right up there with the upper echelon of PDX zah. I also got a seasonal salad that had baby arugula, roasted Delicata squash, goat cheese, balsamic syrup, lemon oil, black olive/hazelnut crumble. Really nice textures and tastes. The balsamic syrup was totally key. The also make a Ceasar salad. Meta Pizza is putting out some good product and they have several great pizza choices. They have a few vegetarian options along with sausage and peppers, pepperoni and a spicy lamb pizza. I'm sure that is quite interesting. Give them a try. Support local. Enjoy! read more

Meta Pizza - Margarita pizza with garlic - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

As I was visiting the Enthea Tea House for the first time this afternoon, I was surprised to I see the Meta pizza shop sign hanging from the next building on the street. It's been on my "to try" list since reading a very positive review in Eater. After the "tea course" I stopped by and ordered their recommended lamb sausage pizza, a personal order hot from the oven! To me, a perfect crust: thin enough not to dilute the flavor of the toppings, the bottom cooked to a crisp that gave a gratifying crunch and supported a good quantity of toppings. The lamb sausage with feta was outstanding, the inclusion of green olives an inspiration. Cooking dampened the bold green olive flavor just enough and added the perfect tangy bite. The only improvement that I would suggest would be cutting a bit back on the salt and adding a little more sun dried tomato. Ready-made, by-the-piece pizza options were available at the counter. The guys behind the counter were cheerful, informative and very pleasant to talk with. The shop seemed to be doing a brisk take-out business, which I was glad to see. It's unsuitable for sit-down dining: no inside tables and only a couple of outdoor picnic tables, which will be in high demand during warm weather. read more

Meta Pizza is yummy! The crust is what I am most interested in - remarkably light, flavorful, slightly chewy with a nice lil crispy crunch. Small, thoughtful selection of some classics. Go for the grandma slice or pie- the pesto is delish! Great for a single slice or a pie. Casual, fun, energetic atmosphere with a couple tables outside and fast, friendly service! read more

We tried the 2024 Pizza Week slice here - The Stissing House BBQ Chicken . This was tasty, but it could have had a bolder flavor, even just more of the bbq sauce. The hot honey definitely improved it. read more

Meta Pizza - The Stissing House BBQ Chicken - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Always friendly service , pizza is always delicious. Love the hot honey that comes on the side as well. Our favorite is the spicy lamb pizza. I don't think it's really spicy but packed with flavor. Saltiness from the cheese, heat from the chilis and tanginess from the olives. Try this place, you're bound to find something you love! read more

I wasn't expecting much from Meta as I haven't heard much about them in the pizza scene, but they sure aren't the underdog! I gave them a chance during Portland Pizza week and I wasn't disappointed! They are a small store front in SE Portland with a couple bar seats inside and picnic tables outside. A small, yet mighty crew working in a small kitchen, they work together like a well oiled machine. We were quoted a 45 min wait for a full pizza, but it was closer to 30! Their pizza week special was delicious! Beef cheek, bolognese, basil aioli - the flavors were hearty and worked together oh so well. The beef cheek was tender, smoky, garlicky, and the bolognese was rich, balancing out the meaty-ness of the beef. OMG the bail aioli! It was like a creamy pesto, and it made the pizza. It was like I was eating pasta on a pizza...if that makes sense. Wowie. I hope they bring this pizza back some time. I did think the crust was a bit too done for my liking, but the taste and texture were on point. Meta brings their A-game, and I can't wait to be back. read more

Came by for a vegan slice today which was perfectly crusty with solid flavor. I hadn't been in a while and was craving a slice. It was super tasty! The staff were very friendly, and I love the rock music in the background. Note it's takeout only with a few picnic tables out front. You can't order slices online from their website it seems, but you can always walk in. They generally have four pizzas ready for all your slice needs! read more

Don't let anyone tell you anything different at a pizza is simply the best pizza in Portland hands-down

I'm not sure how new this place is, but thanks to Pizza Week, I was able to check them out. It's a smaller place that has outdoor seating. You can order pizza by the slices or by the whole. The people working their were super friendly and quick to get our slices out. I lied the slice I had and am eager to try some of their other stuff next time. read more

Meta Pizza - 5 cheese - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Okay so hear me out. I love pizza... (like most people, right?) And I like all kinds of different pizza. But you know when you have a slice of pizza and it just makes you feel all warm inside? And brings back some great memories? That's what Meta Pizza did for me the other night. Long story short - there's a place in Las Vegas that I go every time I'm there and it has the best Brooklyn style cheese pizza I've ever had. And I normally don't order cheese. But it's that good. My boyfriend and I got Meta Pizza over the weekend and after seeing some pictures, I had to order a cheese pie in addition to a pepperoni. And wow... that first bite... It tasted exactly like my favorite cheese pizza. EXACTLY! And now I have it in Portland, down the street from me, and I could not be any happier. I love how the dough is soft but has char. Both pizzas were just really awesome. I already can't wait to try some other stuff on the menu! read more

I love this place, tracked it down on a whim when I needed a slice. It was exactly what I needed ; a vegan Sicilian with a great balance of flavors. Tucked away a bit but well worth it. read more

I love this place. It's small is convenient and is good. That's all I need for a good pizza.

I'm not sure why Meta Pizza has so many 5 star reviews. I love supporting local and don't want to take away from them with this 4 star review but I would be doing both the business and those of you who are reading this review a disservice if I wasn't honest. Pros: Food tasted good. Prices are competitive - pizza $15, salad $12, $5 tip = $32 for dinner for two. Salad was creative. Fresh and fast. Nice website, easy to order, and nice staff. Cons: Food tasted good, not great. Salad was warm and pizza was barely warm. I placed the order at 7:30pm, received a message that the pizza would be ready at 7:50, picked up pizza at 7:53, hoped into my very warm car, drove 2 minutes to destination, walked 5 feet to get inside, opened pizza box to find a room temperature pie. When picking up the pizza, I did notice that the order was on a rack shelf next to the glass front window and close to the door which is probably the reason the pizza didn't taste like it had come out of the oven 5 or 10 minutes earlier. Took a bite, it tasted good but not great. I will order from them again and plan to arrive 5 minutes sooner than the pick up time. Better than some places nearby. read more

The pizza here is awesome. I go for the cheese and add what i want. The mushroom is excellent too.

The 78th place I've had pizza in Portland. Maybe 4.5. A lot to like about it: tasty subtle sauce, spicy sausage, a good balance to the ingredients. Glad i got a little extra cheese on it. Charred, bubbly crust on top but the one negative for me is the bottom crust, somewhere between chewy and gummy. Maybe a matter of degree and being in a box for 25 minutes but just seemed a shade undercooked. Quality ingredients all around. The pie was right on time and the guys inside jovial. read more

Quick and tasty! Crispy flavorful crust and loaded with toppings. Large square slices for only $5, friendly staff, little neighborhood gem!

A new, pretty small pizza joint near the Brooklyn District. I really love the style of their restaurant and logo, You can tell that they invested a good amount in developing a top-notch kitchen. They definitely care about their craft. On to the pizza - Hands-down one of the best artisan pizzas in town, so tasty! I had the lamb sausage pizza along with the mushroom pizza and they were both excellent!! 5 stars for sure read more

Very decent pizza. Will go again. The pizza would definitely taste better eating there. We got it to-go, and they need to reheat in a toaster oven for couple minutes. The chilli-honey dressing was THE BOMB! Game changer. read more

On point NY style pizza. Very thin, chewy on the inside, yet crispy on the outside crust. Really good sauce and toppings. I had the Sausage and Peppers pie which was delicious and slightly spicy. And unlike all the other "NY style" pizzas in town it wasn't soaked in grease. Id give 4.5 stars if I could(it's a new local biz so rounding up!). The crust texture is spot on, but I prefer a bit of a sour dough flavor when I'm going full breadstick mode with the crust ends. Excited to have this option in the hood. Im sure I'll be a regular. read more

Complete gem of a place, the specials are fun and delicious--staff is always just a sweet as can be. Give this place a try asap!

I got the mushroom pizza and it was amazing!! Super nice staff as well. Meta has the best pizza in Portland.

Got some pizzas to go for a small get together and everyone enjoyed it! We just ordered over the phone and the pizzas were ready right when got there. Def would order from here again! read more
