Specialty pizza toppings fun and remarkably go to together. Pub setting so wouldn't know you can buy pizza by the slice.

I've been enjoying OTTO for years, but had never been to this location. We were looking for something quick to grab for an impromptu picnic on the Eastern Prom and OTTO saved the day! I liked that they had several different pizzas ready to choose from, and everyone in our group from toddler to grandma left lunch full and happy. I will definitely be back to this location! They had some decent-looking tiramisu that I'd like to try. read more

OTTO - Pizza! Pepperoni; Mashed Potato, Bacon & Scallion; Three-Cheese Tortellini; Cheese. Huge slices and very good! - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

I've been wanting to try Otto's pizza for while but when I'm in Portland, with all of the amazing and creative food, pizza just isn't my go to. But I grabbed a slice of cheese just to try and was glad I did! Super thin crust, delicious sauce and good flavor - all the makings of a great pizza! It's kind of a reverse pie - cheese as the base and dollops of sauce on top. The sauce was fresh and delicious, I actually wish it was evenly distributed so I got some in every bite since it was my favorite part. But I'd definitely eat it again. Friendly service too, even at the takeout counter. read more

This OTTO was fine--the interior was a bit average, the food subpar. Nothing special. The only upside is the location for East Enders. Staff seemed... out of it. I much prefer the more central Congress street location. Better option for takeout, I'm sure. read more

Ordered the happy hour deal that promised a $1 slice with any alcoholic drink so I ordered a draft beef and the mashed potato pizza slice. But when the check came it was $14.30! So either I got ripped off and was not given the deal I asked for when ordering or a simple draft beer is over $12 at this place. I can only wonder because instead of giving me an itemized total the bartender just thrust the machine with the balance at me. Gonna be stewing on this for a bit.... Pizza was just ok read more

OTTO - This happy hour deal did not leave me very happy... - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

Biggest plus of OTTO was the cocktails are a fair price: cheaper than getting drinks at a bar and definitely had enough alcohol to get us started for our night. The pies themselves were unique in ingredient-combinations. The pizza was a pretty decent size for a single person (I was able to finish it all in one sitting). The crust was thin, charred and sturdy enough to hold the toppings. I was excited to try out the mashed potato, scallion, and bacon pizza, but the flavor was a little more boring. The mashed potatoes didn't add much flavor (carbs on carbs is a fun thought, but in execution, pretty underwhelming) & so the pizza relied a lot on the bacon fat to provide the punch--which it did not. read more

I ordered two pies and a salad through their online website. I arrived and told them my name for my pizza order. The lady at the counter told me it will be about 10-15 minutes, so I sat and relaxed. 20 minutes gone by no word from anyone so I naturally went back to the counter and asked about my order. She asked me my name and that it would be another 5 minutes. Walked up again after 10 minutes and then finally they gave me the reassurance that it was coming out. These were the facts of what happened. In the time I waited so patiently, I over heard the workers in the back say "this is like the third pizza I burnt today." And so naturally I thought it was reason why my pizza was taking so long. In the amount of time I've been there, I've seen so many things unfold. Customers whose ordered were placed online were never received, customers who ordered a pre-made slice got their pizza slice burnt because they forgot it in the oven, customers who came to pick up their pizza were told it would 10-15 minutes wait, but never got it within the said time. They obviously over promise and under deliver on their time estimation-but I get it, it happens. Despite my experience, I was really looking forward to the food. The pizza definitely wasn't well put together. Things started to fall apart, slices were ripping off. The bottom of the pizza was so burnt that the comment from kitchen worker started to make sense. But I do have to say that the ingredients were fresh and seasoned. I wished they did a better job at preparing the food and improving the customer service for future patrons. read more

Staff was friendly but the food was terrible. First, the pizza had almost no sauce and the sauce that it did have tasted like canned tomato purée with zero seasoning. My meal ended abruptly when I went to the counter to ask for napkins and saw grease dripping from the filthy top rack onto the pizzas below. I was disgusted. I took pictures to attach to this review. Don't eat here, The food isn't sanitary. read more

Trying hard to keep forgiving this place but this is the last time. Every time we order they either forget something or the order is wrong. We decided to give one more try and they forgot my wife's salad might seem like a big deal but it seems to be a regular thing so looking for a new pizza place read more

It's solid - don't expect to be wowed with the pie at the price. Cordial service and cool space overall.

After a year my sister and I traveled back north and came to try this place out again, the issue after all was a sever issue and nothing more. The server this time was such a pleasure to have. Super attentive and nice. I had such a better experience here. This place truly is a good pizza spot and thats coming from a New Jersian. Thank you as well to the owner, he did reach out to make things right but I'm not a local so I let it be. Food: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 2/5 The two stars I gave to service was in fact generous. The hostess was m.i.a upon arrival. The restaurant wasn't busy or else I would have understood. There was one lady sitting in the back whom we thought was on break given how long we waited for acknowledgement. Finally a man next-door in the take out area yelled for her. To my surprise the lady on her phone, sitting at the table, was the hostess and unfortunately, our waitress. She seated us and then it was just constant waiting on her to check in for our food order up until we left. She was super nice I'll give her that. But maybe pay more attention to customer read more

Realy convenient and hosting a whole new pizza experience. We try to go every week when not traveling so we can continue to try each mouthwatering pizza. We like to start with a Salad and Garlic Sticks and then select the pizza of the night. I still enjoy the cheese pizza, but my wife just goes down the menu and finds one she has never tried before. The staff is always friendly, and the service at Biddeford ME is top shelf. We have tried other locations and have not been disappointed. The best part, sometimes is the next day when and if we have leftovers... Try it....you will enjoy it.....!!!! Love eating in a garage too...with doors open or closed. Our only complaint is that we are outside the delivery zone, but maybe someday it will expand. Until then, we go there and enjoy the outing. read more

Yummy pie. We got a kids cheese pizza, butternut squash pizza, and an order of cheesy garlic bread. They were all very good. Coming from the New Haven area we have high pizza expectations. We thought Maine wouldn't be able to deliver, but we were pleasantly surprised. Service was not unfriendly or inattentive but not stellar either. A great spot for a quick meal in Portland. read more

One of the workers was aggressive with an adult member of our party as she looked for napkins to mop up a water spill from a 4 year old at our table. His hostile manner and words made her cry. Our pizza arrived burnt and a slice from the child's pizza we ordered had slipped off the plate and onto the floor during delivery. Our server was helpful as we asked to speak to the manager. The manager had not come to the table after 15-20 minutes and so we asked to speak with him a second time. The manager on Oct. 3 came out angry and defensive. He was dismissive to the father of the customer who had been so rudely addressed by the worker. I asked him if he was defending the behavior of his worker and he said, "Yes." I reminded him that the customer is always right and he argued with me. And I said again, that in a good business, the customer is always right. All he needed to do was to give us an apology. But he doubled down supporting the inappropriate behavior of his worker. I do not recommend this business on any level. There are much better places to get pizza in Portland ME than this Otto Pizza on Congress St. read more

As a family from NYC, this was our first taste of pizza with Mash Potatoes as the main ingredient. I enjoyed a slice of the Mash Potato, Bacon, Scallion pizza which was delicious, as well as a Mash Potato with Pulled Pork and barbecue sauce, also excellent. Wife enjoyed a very fresh, delicious, and "bountiful" Cobb Salad. The hospitality and kindness afforded by the staff at the Congress St. location topped off the experience. Definitely a gem of a find during our travel through Portland. read more

The service was a disgrace! Had us sitting at the bar for 15 mins doing nothing when they were ready to wait on us. They said all we have left the slices I said are you kidding me? You had a sit waiting and we walked out never again.! read more

Rainy Saturday night (7/8) and we needed a quick meal. Little did we know that there were a few Otto Pizza places around town since we had already eaten at another one for lunch! Huge, delicious salads and yummy pizzas at both! I love the crust and the ingredients tasted fresh and full of flavor. read more

Absolutely in love with their delicious veggie pizza pies! I stumbled upon Otto through a yelp search and was very excited to try their pizza. I'm happy that I tried this on my first night in Portland. Staff was very hospitable and knowledgeable about pizzas and things to do and places to eat in Portland. Note: I visited during Labor Day weekend and they had both outdoor and indoor seating. Although indoor seating was socially distanced and sanitized and same goes for outdoor seating. read more

We visited on Thursday 10/5/23, from Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Man! You can't get a pizza pie like this back home. But what made the evening for me and my Bride was the extraordinary service we received from a young man who was working all the tables by himself (and not skipping a beat). Food can be exceptional (and this was!!!), but service can kill a restaurant. They NAILED IT! A huge shoutout to the young guy, I was dumb and didn't get his name ! read more

As long term fans of Otto (Portland locations, South Portland, Saco and Biddeford) I have to comment of our experience last night in Saco. The pizza was atrocious: dry, flavorless, thin and crunchy (quite like a stale cracker). If we had never had Otto Pizza before we would never return. I thought that Corporate would be interested in checking to see what is going on in Saco. read more

Food is decent. Staff are hit or miss, mainly miss. Expensive so bring your retirement with you.

This place is dope. OMG...OMG The finest pizza in all of Portland & surrounding areas. Their latest restaurant is in the Cinemagic theatre in Saco, on route 1. By the way their meatballs are almost better than mine. I've never ever found a meatball so close to what I make. Otto's is superb!! read more

Pretty good pizza. Ready right away. Not a huge selection of flavours. I like that they have fountain pop as well as bottles you can buy.

Otto's pizzas are very tasty. We went there at 4th of July . They were supper busy and we wait 30 minutes to have our pizza .

This pizza was perfect! We went during lunch, and they sell it by the slice at lunch. Because of this, we tried a few different ones, but the potato pizza was our favorite! It was so unique, and it reminded me of some of the potato pizza I had in Rome. It's great that they have multiple locations in the Portland area. Would reccomend! read more

With its unique toppings and pairings, it takes this place from a regular pizzeria, to something special. We went on a Sunday evening which was pretty empty. Football was playing on the bar tv which my boyfriend appreciated. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower, scallion and blue cheese pizza and a butternut squash, ricotta and cranberries. Both absolutely blew us away! The cauliflower had a bit of spice, the scallions added a freshness and the blue cheese tied it all together. The butternut squash was my favorite of the two, with large dollops of ricotta, so can you really go wrong? Both pizzas had a buttery thin crust and the flavors were memorable. read more

I've been loving on OTTO since the day they were born, but I gotta be honest: I kind of forget that this location exists. For me, OTTO is: 1. The other Congress St location (because it's the original, and ohhhhhhhhhh the memories I have - and the money I spent at 2am - eating huge slices of 'za here) 2. John Roberts Rd, because it's my favorite indoor location (though they've gotten rid of their indoor bocce and that's a huge bummer) 3. Online (a) love that you can track the progress of your pizza!, b) if you haven't joined their rewards program - GET ON THAT!) So... I don't come here; I think it's a much more convenient spot if you live in the East End or are spending time in this area as a visitor/tourist. But, it's still great. The staff is always super friendly, there's plenty of seating, a great selection of local beers (and wines to choose from), and they have an expanded menu including fries (which are actually DELISH and abundant at just $5 or $6; for sure get the sriracha mayo for dipping!) and Detroit style pizza, which is possibly the only disappointing OTTO pizza I've ever had - it's "deep dish", but it was mostly thick, dry dough when I had it. So, I'll agree with others, it just leaves a lot to be desired. So glad they continue to create unique flavor combinations, and YAY for bringing back cauliflower as an option. Now... where'd the roast garlic cloves go?!? read more

Our party of 4 ordered two small pizzas that were delicious, but not exactly warm. we let the server know and she immediately offered to take a pizza off the bill. We appreciated her offer and decided to order one more small pizza that she promised would be hot. very soon the kitchen sent out two pizzas that were straight from the oven and were delicious. We were so appreciative and told our server. when the bull came, we were not charged for the two additional pies and she had taken more money off the bill. our server could not have been nicer. she was working hard and was gracious and very much deserved the larger tip we gave her. All the pizzas were outstanding - though the hot pizzas were much better. we love Otto Pizza, and we love Portland. This should be a definite stop for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic pizza in a warm atmosphere with great staff. read more

Otto's is one for my favorite pizzerias. They always have extremely creative flavor combinations. We could go on and on. But a couple of our favorites are the mashed potatoes, bacon and scallion pie and the asiago, eggplant, mozzarella, red sauce, ricotta, basil. Just tried a season special which was delicious - Honey balsamic roasted brussels sprouts, bacon, mozzarella and blue cheese. We try everything and have not been disappointed. On-line ordering is easy. And the staff are always friendly, efficient and accommodating. read more

Food was great, Riley was our server and was awesome. super nice and recommended a menu item. Overall great!

I love OTTO, the mashed potato, scallion and bacon pizza has been a favorite of mine for years. Whenever we visit Portland we come to OTTO. I especially like the very laidback interior, great for eating with my young kids and they even have a kid's pizza that has a traditional red sauce and slightly thicker crust. read more

We had an evening of brewery hopping (Oxbow and Austin Street) and wanted to finish off the night with something easy and delicious. We called to place a pick up order with Otto and tried the mashed potato pizza as well as the buffalo cauliflower. I thought both were delicious and were more than enough food for two people for two full meals. We had it for dinner that night and had it for another meal the following day. If i had to choose - I'd say the buffalo cauliflower was a little bit better. They have lots of fun combinations that you wouldn't normally see at other pizzerias, I would love to try some others the next time we're in town. The butternut squash is probably the next one that is on my list that I would want to get. read more

Stopped by 9pm on Saturday. Dining room was closed due to staffing issues. Limited slices left. A crowd walked in behind us just after 9. The slices we got were served warm, not as excitingly hot/fresh as we were hoping. Got slices of margherita, mashed potato bacon, and monthly special (crab rangoon). They were decent, probably would have been better earlier in the day or if they were fully staffed. read more

The pizza was excellent. We had: Butternut Squash, Ricotta and Cranberry ($21/$12) The small pizza is definitely big enough for 2 people. I would certainly go back here. Service was friendly and it was nice and warm inside. read more
