Pepperoni Pizza

Service was super great. They treated everyone so nicely inside and the vibe was great ! However the pizza was average, IF that. About $4 for 1 slice. the crust was pretty hard. It was a thin slice and not fresh, it was premade and you could tell it's been sitting a while. Would not come here again. But thank you to the workers and staff, you guys were great!!!

Pizza jerk is sooo good, I also love their ranch. The restaurant is also pretty chill and the people are friendly. Their pizza is now a must have whenever I visit my friend in Portland.

Working near by and lucky enough to have a great selection of food. Pizza it is and pizza it was. Lunch special for 9.50 you get two slices and soda. Pretty fair price these days. You may wonder why only 3 stars. Well I think pizza is one of those categories where a three star is pretty damn good. As a matter of fact it's good enough that I returned for a second time and will go back again. Also they have a ranch for .50 that I enjoy. I used to dip everything in ranch lol. Again I don't want the three stars to deter anyone. You absolutely should try it. I enjoyed every bit of it. I had the veggie and meat pizza for my first go around. My second time I had pepperoni. It had the cupped roni and some kinda of Hawaiian type pizza. Both were great. Anyways go check them out.

Pizza Jerk is awesome! Read the great reviews so it went on my list to try. And it did not disappoint. I ordered half It's Always Sunny in Cully (add sausage) and half Clam Jam. The pizza was a little on the expensive side, but it was very large. Large enough for about three meals. I would never had thought to order clams on my pizza, but it was really delicious. You could hardly tell they were even on there. It was just buttery, garlicky goodness. The pizza is a New York style so it had a very thin crust. The crust was a bit floppy, even when folded, but it didn't bother me since it was so ding dang tasty! I would definitely get the clam jam again! The people working there were really welcoming and friendly. And the place gave off a super chill vibe and was really clean.

Ok..... awesome pizza. The crust could be a tad firmer. Excellent sauce though. Explored the back patio which was really nice. Tons of families there. There's a play structure for people to climb on. Bring the dogs and the kids We'll be back for sure.

Pizza!

Not the cleanest place, but definitely has that hole-in-the-wall, I'm about to eat something really good vibe. Super laid back pizza place that will make you think of eating pizza as a kid in the 80s w/ red plastic cups, checkered vinyl tablecloths with rips & before California had so many rules for food establishments. You know...when things were fun! Employees sit on the counter, talk to their friends on the phone & one even rolled in & looked like he was still in pajamas/half asleep‍ But, this place is interesting! Lots of cool, vintage posters to look at while you wait. The Caesar salad is delicious (they have amazing house made dressings), served with a fresh lemon wedge & yummy croutons. We ordered the pizza with pepperoni, pineapple, peppers, basil & honey; ordered the ranch & truffle ranch for dipping. SOOOOO good! I noticed lots of people stopping in w/ kids just for the ice cream, so we got a giant spoonful to sample before heading out. Very creamy & good! We were too full, but would definitely come back & eat ice cream while we wait for our pizza I've been hearing about Pizza Jerk's Rice Krispie treats for years, so that was a must. I love the saltiness & butterscotch chips, but we can do better! It's definitely not chewy with the amount of marshmallow that really takes a Rice Krispie treat to the next level. I'd skip it & head straight for the soft serve.

This place reminds me of Sizzle Pie in a way except the music is way better... The atmosphere is relaxed with helpful staff that will engage with you even when they are busy. The decor is on the funky side. They have a decent selection of beer. In addition, they have thin pizza by the slice which is a huge plus, and they have vegan choices which is another plus... They pizza is not artesian style and tend to be on the thick side, but it is very good. There's a decent size private parking behind the building, so you don't have to waste time looking for a spot.

They have street parking outside and only open for "to-go" outdoors right now. No indoor dining! We called them ahead and ordered on the ph. They mentioned the pizza will be ready in 30 mins and we reached in 25 mins and it was already ready :) there is a Safeway grocery store nearby so we did our grocery shopping in those 25 mins. We ordered the "make your own pizza" with red sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushroom and jalapeno. The pizza was huge and could serve 4-5 ppl in my opinion. This was under $30!! I did find the pepperoni a lil on the salty side. They do give u chilli flakes, hot sauce and parmesan cheese so u can add those to lower the salt on the pepperoni. All in all, great value for your buck and NY style thin crust dripping pizza yum! #supportlocal

I CANNOT believe that I have never left a review here! I've been coming here for a couple years…read morejust for the Margherita pizza! It's truly sensational and the most authentic I have tasted! When I order I go in person because I have special requests of extra sauce, etc and everyone who leaves this amazing restaurant always raves about it to the staff upon leaving. The best part though is just how NICE they ALL are! I fly from LA just to come get pizza and some to take back. The crust is perfect chewiness and perfection with the right amount of airy and right about of thin and the sauce is amazing! You will NOT be disappointed! They also fulfill my special requests with ease and a smile! I have told thousands of flight crew about this place as it's right around the corner from our layover hotel. I bid this layover ONLY to get pizza. Yes, I gave up a Hawaii, Cancun and Costa Rica trip for this layover for Mucca Pizza, so that should say it all! So appreciate how kindly they treat you when you walk in the door:) amazing staff and owner.

We love their sister restaurant next door so had high hopes for this place. It did not disappoint!…read more Pizza was amazing (although I like it a little crispier) and the pasta is clearly fresh and homemade. Gelato is also made in house and worth the calories!

Detroit style pizza. If you know, you know. The crispy…read moreedge, the stripes of sauce, the pillowy soft middle with toppings upon toppings ladled on top. New York and Chicago are still trying to catch up. But we are in the Pacific Northwest, nowhere near Loui's Pizza or Buddy's Pizza (Detroit pizza staples). So many times, what tries to pass off as "Detroit style" falls miles short. Then came "Ranch" where I stood outside and screwed up enough courage to try yet another Detroit style pizza. The interior was small, one wall lined with tomato sauce cans, the menu was bolted to a wall. The smell took me back and that gave me some hope. The pizza arrived at the table, the wife and I have varied tastes so we each ordered a quarter pizza. Mine was pepperoni, the wife had a veggie. The pizzas looked right, square, caramelized crispy edges, heavy toppings... and then on the side of the plate was this cup of ranch dressing. Duh! "Ranch" obviously has to have a good ranch, right? I dipped my pinky finger in the ranch and took a taste. You would not think one ranch can be so far ahead of the others, but ranch is the place for ranch, as well as pizza. My first bite brought a smile to my face, it was just, right in every way that a Detroit pie should be. I have been back to try their #4 pie with sausage and ricotta, and I am looking forward to more trips. If all that was not enough, the service was friendly, the food came out so quick (about 10 minutes) and the place was nice and clean.

Super fast service and super yummy food…read more I always get their #4 because it's so good. It has Italian sausage, red sauce, calabrian chiles, mozzarella, and ricotta on top. A slice of that dipped in their ranch (they give a side of ranch for all pizza orders) is heavenly. Their ranch is actually the best ranch I have ever had. I wish they sold bottles of it so I can have it at home. They also have seasonal specials, like their pickle pizza with hot honey, or the french onion soup pizza (so good). I would recommend doing takeout as there is limited seating.

No matter where you roam, near or far from home, one question must always be answered: where can I…read moreget good pizza around here? If you're in or planning to be in Portland, Oregon, I respectfully and enthusiastically recommend you include Pizza Kat in your considered alternatives. A thin, flexible, and tasty-all-by-itself crust. Tomato sauce that adroitly walks the lines between sweet and acidic, and between supporting the other elements well, fading into obscurity, and overwhelming those other elements. The right amounts of the right cheeses. And fresh, tasty toppings. (Sweet Italian sausage not dominated by garlic and mushrooms worth eating on their own, for two delicious examples.) Even better, prices are reasonable, and delivery is available. We had some delivered to our hotel, and it arrived almost as hot and tasty as we would have expected were we at a table near the ovens. There are other pizzas worth eating -- including the thicker-crust "deep cut" slices available before and after select shows at Revolution Hall. But when you want the thin-crust version done right, Pizza Kat will leave your taste buds and tummy purring, without clawing the life out of your wallet.

Grew up in metro Detroit; the crust is wrong and there is way too much sauce. Places outside…read moreDetroit seem to focus on the sauce being on top, but the crust is the key. The crust needs to be thick but light and airy in the inside, with a crispy, greasy bottom pocked with air holes. The bottom of this crust was smooth, which probably limits how much oil they can use. The sauce was way too thick (about 3/8") and extremely salty. The cheese and pepperoni were ok. Quality of ingredients was good. Overall the pizza was just average, and I would have preferred Jet's. Price was good and 1 pepperoni slice is a meal. I ordered 2 slices and did not finish the second. (For comparison, 2 slices of Buddy's is a meal but I end up eating a 4 square.) Good service, low frills place.

Portland is a tough place for pizzerias since the variety & quality is so good throughout the city…read more But for 25+ (35?) years, this little slice-or-whole-pie place in NW 23rd has churned out the tied-for-best pizza in the city. 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. Being a friend to run in while you drive around the block, then enjoy how your car smells HEAVENLY on the way home!

Definitely not an experience I'd want to repeat.
