    Family business in same location for 50 years says a lot! I've been coming here for 20 years and they consistently deliver quality homemade food each and every time. No fussy menu with fancy items, just simple honest food. No waitstaff but plenty of cozy seating. Super nice owners, friendly staff, low prices. Fresh homemade meatballs in the subs. The sauce is delicious. Do yourself a favor and try the Hot Oven Grinder! www.pizzabymichael.com My 3 fussy kiddos LOVE this place -they get their chocolate milk & pizza fix here!

    Sm extra cheese (10in)

    I may be labeled a pizza snob when people see I lived in NY for a decade, but I grew up in Portland. I spent my summers on OOB pizza like a great many of us did. Given the plethora of choices, I had managed to never come here before. Out for a family drive on dad's day off, we needed eats after a stressful experience. I wanted pizza so Yelp lead us here. The pizza itself was not bad. We got the correct food, as ordered. The staff was nice and the shop was clean. The mushroom (for the spouse who loves them) was declared unremarkable and slightly oily in an after taste way she didn't find grand. My extra cheese was indeed cheese loaded. For me this crust resembles pier slices. It is a tad more doughy and yes, more oil is obviously there. It is edible, it is not offensive, it was made properly and cooked all the way as it should be. A 10in small is a healthy "personal" serving and I did eat all of mine. Is there better pizza? Probably, but since all taste is subjective to the person eating it, this is certainly acceptable for the cost and quality of what you get. It is a neighborhood place and my only wish is that they offered by the slice instead of just pies. No other complaints.

    Visited Portland for the long weekend and stumbled on this pizza place by accident. It was pouring outside so we ordered a basic large cheese and ate at one of the tables. Clean establishment, pizza came out quick, and it tasted pretty good too.

    In the midst of COVID, a lot of places around here have been closing early so this was a happy mistake that we stumbled upon this pizza! We got a take out large pizza that was delicious! The crust was good, not too dry but not undercooked either! We were also very happy with the amount of toppings on the pizza. From the outside, it looked like a little hole in the wall, but my husband said it was quite pleasant inside when he went inside to pick it up. We would definitely order here again!

    Wowza! Quaint little shop with super friendly staff and amazing pizza. We stopped in due to other Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. If you're in the area give them a try

    Chewy and doughy are accurate descriptions of the pizza

    Best pizza in the area hands down. I wished they offered some sort of delivery options however.

    If you like pizza heavily dosed with basil, you might like this pizza. Same recipe for at least 40 years I'm guessing!

    Drove down from Portland to try Coletti's and we were NOT disappointed. Coletti's offers a…read moreNeapolitan style pizza - which is important to know. Very different from Greek, New York and New Haven style pizza. Deliciously different from what we usually get in Portland. We ordered online but ate in the restaurant. The service was very good, friendly and knowledgeable. We had the Margarita pie and the Sausage and Broccoli Rabe pie. My husband is a pizza snob and he LOVED the broccoli rabe pie. Both pizzas were cooked perfectly with generous amounts of cheese. The margarita pie had just the right amount of basil. But the star of the show for us was the sausage/broccoli pie! We had never had broccoli rabe on a pie before. The broccoli rabe was tender, well seasoned, and had a floral note to it, the crust was chewy with just the right amount of char and the sauce added just the right acidity. The only thing we felt was lacking (slightly) was the sausage. It was so mild that you almost couldn't taste it. It was cooked well and no gristle at all - just lacking that sausage flavor that you expect when you order sausage on your pizza. Regardless we would and WILL order it again. We will definitely be back and strongly recommend Coletti's if you are in the area. If Coletti's is looking to expand - please come to Portland!

    The flavor of this highly talked-about pizza is bland. It's not sweet, thank goodness, although…read moresome folks like it, and it's not savory (garlic and tomato forward) this pie is neither, so like I said bland. Also, the shape is terrible - too thick and puffy on the outside and too thin and flimsy closer. It's impossible to pick up a slice. I was very excited due to the hype, but when it arrived we were disappointed.
