Greek veggie. Yum Yum.
Kristi B.

My brother in law recommended this place. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. This did not disappoint. I ordered on-line the Greek veggie. Everything tasted super fresh and came out 10 minutes earlier than promised. It was a Sunday night‐ but I can see why this place would be swamped. It had a well lit industrial vibe. There was counter seating, but we got it to go. Before leaving, I picked up a gift card to thank bro in law and sister for their hospitality. If I lived in Portland, I would be ordering here a lot.

Excellent food! Dunno why it has only 3.8 stars, but this is the best damn pizza I've ever had. So much so I screenshotted it and made it a featured location in the mockup of the app I'm creating, Gem Hunt. Pepperoni Pizza only is my order! Thanks, Rovente Pizzeria, for basically saving my life by letting me leave a review like this here! I wish you the best. Until next time: Best Regards, samthecat6217

A littler reminder

Rovente Pizzeria, your pizzas are delicious. I always find myself coming back for more! Whether I am attracted to your prices, enormous slices, yummy crust, or simply friendly service. Everything is just perfect. Open late on Friday and Saturday. What else can you ask for? Okay, fine- you got me. There is a catch or a few: parking can be difficult (street parking), limited seating, andddd I cannot remember if they have drinks besides water. However, they have STAMP CARDS- WIN! My personal favorite here: Hawaiian $4.50/slice. (Due to Covid - only serving by the slice from 12pm to 4pm until further notice)

Super delicious pizza with fantastic crust that is on the thinner side, but still soft. I got a 1/2 veggie and 1/2 pesto, with light cheese and no feta. My favorite ended up being the veggie! Both were stocked with a variety of veggies and actually look quite similar as you can see from the pictures. The reason I preferred the veggie is because the pesto was loaded with garlic that overpowered the flavor in my opinion. If you are in the mood for something garlicy, this is perfect but I was wanted to to taste the pesto more. The ranch is great and I loved dipping my pizza in it.

Pizza Week Review: 4 of 10 consecutive pizza slices Let this be known I have never eaten here outside pizza week! This is a pure review on pizza week, pizza week slices, pizza week prices, pizza week service, and I am going to keep saying pizza week, because their pizza week pizza was a bit... dare I say it... Pizza WEAK. I am not sure what all was going on here, the slice didn't pull me in like I hoped for. They had everything on paper that would make a great slice, but me, the wife, and my oldest were all... 'nah I am good with that' now I ate the whole slice, but I was still dreaming of the pizza stop before hand, and didn't like the overall taste profile. Now the crust and dough was good, and the pizza was done well, but the meat or maybe the sauce, just didn't add up. I hate to give a middle of the road review when they are doing something cool for pizza week, so... I will return ad try a standard slice soon and update this review to hopefully be mire positive.

5/5 pizza! I got half veggie & half pesto. The pesto had quite a bit of garlic! I happen to love garlic so if you don't beware. Crust was on the thinner side but not stiff. It was nice a soft and like 4:2 veggie to crust ratio. Huge variety of pizza flavors and cheesy bread and salad!!!!

I've been here a couple times in the past and have always liked it. I came here with a few friends for Portland Pizza Week and had their special hot Italian slice. So far this is my favorite slice for the week. The pizza sauce has a nice kick to it and so does the sausage. I think they should keep this permanently on the menu. The service was also great. They were super nice to us and didn't mind that we ordered a few slices and also brought them out to us. Overall - Great!

Delicious warm slices of pizza. Most pizza places in Portland have sucked so I said well it can't get worse than Scottie's pizza parlor. Thank pizza god this place was delicious. The staff wasn't very friendly but listening to them talk about how facial hair is generic and how mullets are coming back as we ate our pizza was pretty funny! The pepperoni was extremely flavorful. The cheese pizza was stringy how a cheese pizza SHOULD be. Great red sauce, not sweet but not acidic-y marinara. Very very good! The crust was crunchy and has delicious flavor as well. A perfect crunch with every bite. Definitely recommend this place. The price isn't too bad! But be warned, their coke selection is super limited.

Pizza Week Vegan Slice!
Jason C.

I've been here a few times and really like the quality of their ingredients and their crust (mix of not too thick, not too thin, crispy, yet fluffy). Their flavors are usually pretty good even with combos you don't expect. Their vegan Pizza Week slice had a beautiful melange of flavors far exceeding any other vegan slice I've had. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. It is pretty limited for seating, but they have some outdoor seating, and if it's a nice day you can always just grab a seat wherever outside.

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.

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.

Simply delicious pizza. 5 bucks a slice for some of the best crispy pizza in the neighborhood.

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.

The pizza is usually good, it's a joint that has pies on display and they reheat slices as they are ordered... so the key is to look at all the pies and pick the freshest looking ones.
