No matter where you roam, near or far from home, one question must always be answered: where can I get 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. read more

I hate to write this review because I was genuinely excited to try this place, but with so many great 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. read more

Hey Pizza Cat! You iz all that. Tighten up those mozzarella balls or ricotta dollops, it's kind of a mystery there.what that becomes, but the crust is the bomb. You are serving art here my friends. Cooked with so many veggies. Under-scorched to perfection. Do you feel my pizza SNOB coming out from when I through dough in the late 80s? You exceed expectation. Great job. read more

We ordered delivery so I cannot speak to the cleanliness of the restaurant or friendliness of the staff. The food was ready and delivered on time. We ordered the 12" Vegan Luxe, 12" pepperoni, pineapple and Canadian bacon, Classic Salad and Roasted Cauliflower. The salad was fresh and crisp, nice amount of cheese, great croutons and dressing. The cauliflower was cooked well with good flavors. Both pizzas had ample toppings that tasted fresh. The crust had a good chew to it. Definitely impressed and will return. read more

Simply delicious pizza. 5 bucks a slice for some of the best crispy pizza in the neighborhood. If you're someone like me who prefers to dine in for the perfectly charred fresh pizza slice then there's no better spot. Service is kind, music is chill and overall an awesome spot for a drink and a slice. read more

Super cute logo and merch! Also, there pizza is tasty too Recommend the mushroom slice. The meatball pizza would've been better with sliced or smaller meatballs vs a few large meatballs. read more

Excellent pizza! We ordered a full assortment of different pies and all were excellent. The guys loved the pizza! We had it delivered by DoorDash and it came hot and on time. When I had difficulty with the app, the nice people at Pizza Kat helped walk me through the difficulty and made our order perfect. read more

Portland is known for their food. Portland is known for its pizza. Why pizza kat is not more popular is beyond me. Part of me is selfish and enjoys that I can enjoy it and not have to wait 3 hours for it. But also, pizza kat deserves the hype. It's cute inside, has great seating, a parking lot. It's on food delivery apps. It's great served fresh, it's great served delivered. It's great a day old. It's great when you're happy. It's great after a hospital stay (I in fact ordered pizza kat to the hospital) The staff are also amazing, always so kind. I order their pepperoni the most but I've done their specials and have been just as pleased. Try it out, it's worth it! read more

this pizza shop has the kindest vibes ! we got two slices of margherita pizza and sat at the window and omg it was so delicious ! the combination of the tasty pizza and looking outside on a nice day was so great ! the person helping us was also so attentive and thoughtful. this is definitely a new favorite spot of mine read more

Pizza Kat - margherita slice - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There's only one way to put it: this is the BEST pizza in Portland. Full stop. And as an Italian, I'm very picky when it comes to pizza! I wish they offered a few more standard toppings for classic Italian-style pizzas. I'd love to see a capricciosa, for example. That said, while some of their topping combinations aren't my favorite, the quality of the dough is absolutely superb. They also make their own gluten-free dough, which is a huge plus! My daughter is GF, and she loves their pizza. It's an ocean apart from the usual frozen cauliflower crusts you find elsewhere. The taste and texture are so close to traditional wheat dough. Parking can be a bit challenging, but they do have a couple of reserved spots on the side of the building. Service is excellent. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Absolutely recommended! read more

There are a lot of good places to get pizza in Portland, and now I know this is one of them. Tried the veggie and built or own pizza...both were good and I loved the chew of the crust. I picked up the pizza and ate at home. I've driven by Pizza Kat many times and while they are on busy Burnside, they have a parking lot adjacent to the building (right side) that made pick up a breeze. It's now on the list. And since I'm a dumb dad, I'll say, Pizza Kat was purrfect and left me feline fine! read more

Ordered DoorDash for this margarita pizza, and omg.. THAT RED SAUCE IS TO DIE FOR (even when it's not piping hot). The crust was nice and chewy too! Def want to try more varieties of their pizza next time! read more

Pizza Kat - 18" Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Got to try a couple slices of their gluten free pies and as a full-gluten person I quite liked them! The crust was chewy but it's to be expected. I still really enjoyed their toppings which were abundant and flavorful. Excited to try their full-gluten crust next time! read more

I love this pizza. A lot. As a NYC transplant, their margherita pizza makes me happy, and the fennel sausage pizza and meatballs side are also phenom. read more

Pizza Kat is my new favorite pizza joint. My review is based on two visits. My very first time was on Sunday, 5/4 and the second was on Friday, 5/9. Twice in one week. Yeah. It's that good! These NY-style thin crust pizzas come in two sizes (12" and 18"), and you can also get pizza by the slice! See my "Helpful Tips" below for more info on this. For my first visit, my wife and I ate there. We live a couple miles away and we've driven past it numerous times, always telling each other, "We still have to try that place." I'm so glad we finally did because their pizza is top notch. It's certainly the best pizza I've had here since relocating to PDX (from Los Angeles) two years ago. The pizzeria is not too big but there is a lot of seating! The atmosphere is cozy and alive and the place was clean and well kept. For our second visit, my wife and I decided to do an online/pick-up order. One thing I noticed on the second visit is that they had so many pick-up orders (a testament to how good this place is). The customer service was great both times. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. We felt so welcomed both times. FOOD RECS: * Get Wild (Me, both visits): This is a white pizza with king trumpet mushrooms! I love mushrooms so this was a no-brainer for me. And I absolutely love it! My mouth is watering just typing this. I mentioned it above, it's NY-style thin crust. The dough is so good; crispy base, but a chewy/fluffy edge. * Pepperoni (Wife, both visits): Can't go wrong with this! She loves it. * Classic Salad: This is essentially a Caesar Salad. We got this on our second visit and the to-go portion was a great size. * Cool Herb Sauce: This is essentially their ranch dressing. HELPFUL TIPS: * If you're familiar with my reviews, I always note if a place sells Coca-Cola products, and I'm so happy to report that Pizza Kat serves Coca-Cola products! Huge win! * In addition to offering full pies, you can get pizza by the slice! However, you can't order a pizza by the slice if you're placing an online order (it's only available if you're ordering in person/eating there). * Parking is available but it's very tight and is only limited to two (maybe 3?) spots (it's a shared parking lot). The two times I went, we were lucky to snag a spot with no issue. I just thought I'd mention it here in case you, too, are driving. * They sell merch! Hats, shirts and stickers! I got two stickers of their logo. Really cool! As I mentioned earlier in my review, Pizza Kat has become my new favorite pizza joint. I'll be coming back again and again! Take my money! Thanks, Pizza Kat! read more

Was walking up Burnside from Pioneer Place to Washington Park. Planned to go to Sizzle Pie but they were closed. Had been wanting to try a slice at PizzaKat but never had because I'm usually driving. So glad I got the chance today. Five-Stars!! Got a slice of Mushroom Basil. Perfect crunchy on crust, and flavors. Staff were super friendly, too. Got stickers, too!! read more

I've only ever gotten their pepperoni because it's so amazing. Huge slices and dripping with grease in the best way possible. This place has a great ambience. Traditional brick on the outside and clean, modern, and fresh on the inside. Has good outdoor seating options in the warmer months. I've always had friendly and excellent service every time I've gone. read more

This is for the Gluten Free pizza only. It was just ok. I couldn't tell if it was the dough or the pizza sauce but it just didn't hit the mark. Atmosphere and service were great and I know a lot of friends who rave about their regular pizza. read more

Delicious pizza! And well made Caesar salad. We did "takeout" because we were traveling with our pup, but they have a great space, easy parking & friendly service. read more

Best pizza I've had in this area of Portland so far! I'd only say it needs a bit more cheese, so if you're ordering a whole pie ask for extra. Other than that, the restaurant was clean inside and the service was great! Their ranch was not a traditional buttermilk or garlic ranch, I think the guy called it "cool" something. and I personally didn't enjoy it. But the pizza was good enough to not really need any ranch! read more

Another fabulous pizzas night in. I have already left reviews for our go to pizza place. But I thought I would include some pictures! read more

Disappointing + overpriced. I got a GF 12" pepperoni for $21 (on Uber Eats) and it had barely any cheese. The pepperoni had good flavor + was crispy, but the lack of cheese (and sauce) made it super dry. The GF crust was decent but very chewy - could have def cooked a little longer. read more

Portland's best pizza. We have had this delivered at least 20 times and probably a bunch more. Their pizza is always excellent. Their ice cream is the best I have ever had. You cannot do better than Pizza Kat. read more

The best pizza in Portland. If NY style pizza is your favorite then don't think twice about going to PK. Their dough is fermented perfectly. It's light, airing, and they put a perfect char on it. PK serves slices which is great because you can get a slice of your go to standard slices while also trying some of their seasonal joints. The inside reminds me of an old NYC pizza shop and the staff is very friendly. Go now and be happy you made the decision forever. read more

Pizza Kat is all around the best pizza we've had in the Portland area! Great location, easy to find. Pizza was exceptional! Service- amazing and above and beyond. Visited on a Friday afternoon and was not yet busy. Ordered a couple of slices and two build your owns. Everything came out hot and fresh. Total: $67.xx before gratuity I loved every bite of the pizzas. I could tell they use very fresh ingredients. Shop is quaint and has a British Abstract Mod vibe. Would highly recommend Pizza Kat and look forward to visiting one day again. read more

LOVED Pizza Kat! I wanted a slice right after work, and I found them and got a slice of pepperoni -- it was awesome!

We have been visiting Ringside Steakhouse across the street since before Pizza Kat opened. We always said, "We HAVE to go there, it looks great". We finally made it while visiting Portland recently, and we are glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile and asked how we could be helped. There was some upbeat music playing in the background, making for a fun atmosphere. We opted to sit outside, and so happy with did this also. What a great space behind the restuarant to relax and have some great food. Our pepperoni pie was brought out hot and ready to eat in a timely manner. If you don't like grease on your pizza, just ask for less when you order, but it tasted great! We enjoyed the water fountain and vibe in the outside space, and would highly recommend sitting in that space. We will be back again the next time we are in Portland. read more

I was... really not expecting a lot from Pizza Kat! But was genuinely blown away. Decore inside is like a lowkey , indie coffee shop. The staff are super friendly. Kind of quirky and chill. The pizza... the star of the show.. some of the best I've had. Crispy crust, a generous amount of pepperoni, and the sauce was perfect. Honestly, a must stop. Even the cocktail, a pre bottled "secret mix" as phenomenal. If you want pizza, come here. read more

Simple, fresh quality ingredients done well. Forgot to snap a pic of the pizza, but had the marinara (was with a picky eater). Thin crust, slightly chewy dough, and a hint of sweetness in the sauce - perfection. Also enjoyed the salad :) read more

holy smokes and welcome BACK to the Portland Pizza Taste Test #7! My newest favorite! Amazing atmosphere inside the place and on their back patio!
