    We got there about 40 minutes to closing and luckily, they still took our order! We have been wanting to check this place out for a while and it did not disappoint! The person who took our order was so kind and patient with us. We were a bit indecisive because everything from the menu sounded amazing. We ended up deciding to get el chingo and el Kevin. El chingo was so flavorful. Nice spice kick to it! I think next time I'll try it with the pineapple because I think it would be a perfect sweet balance to the spicy jalapeños. I think next time I'll try it with the pineapple. El kevin was the perfect cheese pizza. Nice balance of cheese and sauce. Both pizza doughs were cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the Mexican oregano - it was so flavorful. We can't wait to be back! Also, bonus points because the owners are Dodgers fans & my husband is a huge Dodger fan! Go LA!

    The Verde
    Rachel H.

    Super cute set up, there is plenty of seating at the bar outside and a fire pit right beside the shop. We tried the Verde and the Chorizo con Papas, Both were so balanced, and wonderful. Also, the crust was incredibly light and chewy. Very impressed! Service was kind and we will absolutely be back.

    Not sure what all the hype is on this place. I was really looking forward to trying this out because of the name and the high rating on yelp. Maybe most of reviewers were drunk from the neighboring bar. I don't want to sound too harsh but here's my experience. The place is small but we went early so it was not busy. I think we might have been the first customers of the day. The employee was nice and helped us decide on the pies were got. He said the hot honey was good on the pizza so we said we would try it. Little did we know we got charged $1.50 for it. I think if they are going to suggest something, they should warn you it's not free. The pizza came out in a reasonable time. The crust was overly burned on the bottom, middle was a bit thin. Toppings and crust were dry not much to enjoy. We paid for a side of ranch which looked homemade and tasted like sour cream with dill. Overall not the best pizza in town. I would suggest to skip this place, unless you're a few drinks in from Holy Ghost then I guess it wouldn't matter.

    Taco Tuesday pizza special
    Benjamin S.

    Great vibes and the pizzas are decent. What I like is the fresh ingredients but the crust is soggy in the center, so kind of like limp pizza. I went on a Tuesday night and had to try their "Taco Tuesday" special, and it really did taste like taco ingredients (ground beef, cheese and shredded lettuce) but on a pizza crust instead of tortilla. Not sure it was a success because I felt it needed a drizzle of some kind of sauce, but I give them credit for creativity. The pizza spot is tiny and you order and then you have the option of sitting in the patio with fireplaces or in the Holy Ghost bar. Great neighborhood spot and if you like tasty soft pizza crust, then that's what's served up here.

    El Chingon
    Monica R.

    So dam good! Had the "El Chingon" and it had a burst of flavors! All mixing so well together. Must try!

    Chorizo con Papas
    William H.

    Pan con queso shares space with Holy Ghost brewery and 28 Tigers. The Pan con Queso spot is akin to a hole in the wall but all three businesses use a shared patio space. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We had the chorizo con papas pizza, and straight up, it was exactly that. I assume the other pizzas are just like they are advertised. I will come back and when I do, I will update this post

    Pizza was thin and full of flavor, they had different types of pizzas and all of them look really good, me and my friends try 2 of them; El chingon and new pizza La hawaiana, both of them were pretty good. We also try their caesar salad, and omgggg it was so fresh, crunchy and full of flavor. Cashier/server was nice, we talk to him about different pizzas and gave us some recommendations. Ambience was nice, they have outdoor and indoor seating.

    El Chingon! Must try!
    Gavin J.

    For those seeking a creative twist on traditional pizza, Pan Con Queso delivers both in flavor and atmosphere. Their dedication to quality ingredients and innovative recipes makes it a must-visit spot in Portland's vibrant food scene. However, guests can enjoy their meals at outdoor picnic tables or take advantage of the adjacent Holy Ghost Bar's seating area. The friendly and accommodating staff enhance the overall dining experience. The pizzeria's crust is crafted from a multigrain sourdough, fermented over several days to achieve a chewy texture with a subtle tang. This foundation complements toppings such as cotija, cilantro, chipotle, and corn, resulting in flavorful combinations. Pictured is the pizza El Chingon!

    I recently started working in a new office, and with that came the excitement of exploring all the new dining options nearby and, of course, cross-referencing them on Yelp. One place, in particular, caught my eye: Pan Con Queso. I browsed their menu and immediately noticed a pizza named "El Kevin (McCallister)." I thought, "OMG, I have to go there ASAP!" (For reference, my social media handles are inspired by "Home Alone", which is one of my all-time favorite movies.) As I looked over the rest of the menu, I saw "El Chingon," a pepperoni and pineapple pizza with a Latin/Mexican flair. In my opinion, pepperoni and pineapple is a far superior and more underrated combination of toppings than the standard Hawaiian that everyone gets. Growing up, I thought I was the only one who loved this combo, but I later discovered that there is a small yet passionate and devoted fan base for it. IFKYK. I was torn between the two, but I knew I couldn't just add this place to my TDL, I had to go TODAY! I pulled up PCQ on Google Maps and headed there after work, only to find out they had moved locations. That didn't deter me, though, and I made my way to their current spot on SE Gladstone, which wasn't too far away. When I arrived, I was disappointed to learn they were out of pizza for the day. The staff was really friendly and told me that although it happens from time to time, it's pretty rare. I was let down, but I was determined not to let that ruin my day, so I made an effort to return the next day. I had a horrible day at work and in my personal life that day, and all I could think about was getting that pepperoni and pineapple pizza to cheer me up. I called ahead and showed up even earlier this time, only to be told again that they had sold out. They were deeply apologetic. At that point, I was facing some pretty devastating things in my personal life, along with a big health scare and not getting this pizza that I was so excited for 2 days straight really felt like those cartoons where the clouds would follow the character and just dump rain while everyone else is perfectly dry. Some time had passed, and I received a call from PCQ. They had somehow gone through the trouble of tracking down my phone number to tell me that my next pizza would be free of charge. That gesture was honestly the first bright spot I'd had all summer, and I was so grateful. I finally returned to PCQ about two months later and mentioned that I had been told my pizza would be comped. The two female staff members (Mikayla and Abby) lit up and replied, "Phil?" I was floored. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. Even before eating my food, I knew this was an experience I would treasure for years to come. (Food review on a subsequent visit)

    Chorizo pizza
    Mark H.

    Really wanted to like this place, but was disappointed . Crust a little too thin for the toppings. They loaded on the pepperoni, but ended up as a puddle of oil in the middle, cheap pepperoni ? On the other the chorizo was skimpy. But the pizza was flavorful. Probably won't return. I will say the service was friendly and quick, so if you're drinking at the attached bar, okay . But to take home, eh

    con todo
    Dan R.

    My 97th Portland pizza spot. And it's a lot more than 'break with cheese.' How all the toppings work together--very tasty chorizo, love the fresh mozz, and the red sauce has a real zing to it. I don't like kale but the little bit here was fine. Amazing how such a thin crust can have such strength. The char factor near the border of almost too much, but not quite. The Living Haus space is cavernous and industrial, but the tree slab tables add a touch of atmosphere. Very friendly service.

    El chingon pizza !
    Karina A.

    We had the El Chingon pizza, it was one of the best pizzas we've ever had! We are only in Portland for a few days and definitely returning before catching our flight back home. We recommend it 110% !!

    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'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.

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.
