I've eaten here a few times and have yet to find something I really enjoy. I think it just boils down to personal taste. I understand why other people enjoy it, it's just not necessarily for me. I personally think the pizza could use more cheese. The tomato sauce tastes more like a tomato paste to me than a sauce. And the crust in the middle is a bit too thin and limp for my liking. We did have the Caesar salad as well, and that is fantastic! The service is fantastic, really friendly and timely. If this is your kind of pizza then I recommend, it just wasn't for me! read more

The verde pixxa is making me rethink ever eating any other food ever again- I haven't even put my slice down to write this. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

We ordered the El Chingon specialty pizza with cilantro crema and shishito peppers. Their menu doesn't have much variety so their pizza bases were pretty much all tomato, but everything sounded solid. The pizza dough was great for a thinner pizza and their pepperoni balanced well with the jalapenos and pineapples. Their cilantro crema was a standout and it's a good sub for traditional ranch. The shishito peppers were rightly charred but lacked some salt. This place has some outdoor seating but we brought our food to the bar next door. Overall, I'd come back again if I was in the area. read more

Pizza was so good we didn't even get to take a picture! We had an El Chingon and their Caesar salad, both so good. I love the concept of the shared patio with the bar. Service was quick and they were very polite! read more

Really impressed with Pan Con Queso. We were at the bar next door (Holy Ghost) and wanted a bite to eat. The 12 inch pizzas have great chewy crusts and service is fast and delivered to the bar/patio :)! read more

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. read more

Pan Con Queso - El Chingon - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have never been so hyped for a spot to get its own brick and mortar in a while! I knew that I would have to check this place out because we absolutely love pizza in all forms and just throw in the wonderful mexican flavors, and we're totally sold. I tried this place with my husband when it was still a pop up in a brewery and loved every single bite. I had the elote pizza which was the special during that time whereas my husband had the chorizo con papas. We both loved our pizzas -- the pizza dough and crust was delicious and the toppings all worked together super well. I can't attest for his non-veg pie, but I can tell you he finished it within a matter of minutes. If that's hot high praise, I'm not sure what is. Service was super friendly and prices are incredibly fair for how good everything is. I have been raving about this spot to friends and trying to get more people to get out and try it because it's just that good! Swing by and show support in the form having some incredible pixxas. read more

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 read more

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. read more

This place does not get enough hype!! My partner and I stumbled upon it while we were around the area and it was such a treat. We tried the El Chingon and Con Todo and they were phenomenal. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends! read more

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! read more

Pan Con Queso - El Chingon! Must try! - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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) read more

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 read more

Pizza was absolutely delicious, atmosphere was great with the fire pit and heating lamps outside. Employee taking the order was super kind and service overall was good. I'm Mexican and finding places like this in pdx finds a special place in my heart after moving out here from LA. This made it to the top of my list and I will definitely be going back as a regular for more delicious pizza. read more

Best pizza I have had in PDX. It is on my parent's non-negotiable list whenever they come to visit. Perfect space and perfect service. I could not find a complaint if I tried. read more

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. read more

Saw someone post a video about this place online and I immediately was very interested in going, so I knew that as soon as I could, I wanted to go and try it out. The front and the kitchen is very small. It was cold outside, so we sat inside Holy ghost, and we just hung out until our pizzas were done. We got an appetizer of the jardinera, and it was delicious. They have cactus cooler as a drink option, but they were out so we decided to get strawberry Fanta. we ordered three pizzas, so it took a little bit, but it was definitely worth the wait for sure. The crust was delicious, and had a depth of flavor regular pizza crust does not have. I ordered the elote pizza. My friend is a little less adventurous and he ordered the pepperoni pizza, and then my other friend ordered the chorizo y papas pizza. We all swapped a slice of our pizza so we could try all three and I was blown away with all the different flavors that where achieved on our pizzas. My pizza the elote pizza had a wonderful creamy sauce, pieces of corn, bright cilantro and a wonderful array of seasoned flavor that you can only achieve with the blend of elote ingredients. Even the pepperoni pizza was better because of the type of pepperoni that they use. And the sauce flavor was excellent. I don't usually like red sauce pizzas, but this pepperoni pizza still really good That chorizo pizza however, was so many layers and flavors and dimensions of taste. I could not believe my senses, the taste of the chorizo, the creamy of the potatoes, and the cilantro crema on top was so good. It reminded me of breakfast and away. It was spectacular! and nothing we ordered was overly spicy or too mild. If it was supposed to have a kick, it had a kick. We usually like Ranch with our pizzas so we ordered a couple ranches, and the cilantro crema dipping sauce. The sauces are made in house and the ranch was divine. Everything tasted really amazing and I can't wait to go back. Maybe one day the pizzas will come in different sizes, but for now a 12 inch pizza made with hard work and love, will be enough for me. I have no notes on the food because I was absolutely in love with it, but I was really looking forward to cactus cooler soda, and I wasn't expecting such a small store front, but since it is attached to Holy Ghost, there is outdoor seating with a fire pit, and you can sit inside holy ghost, so that was a definite plus, because when we walked up and saw that there wasn't much seating inside of the store we were kind of worried that we would have to sit outside in the cold, but the person who took our order told us we can be inside, but with the fire pit and the outdoor seating I can imagine this place being very popular since it's in a cool area. read more
