I've only had delivery from Pizza Kat, so I can't say anything about the location, but the food is…read moregreat. Had pizza from here twice during a long stay in Portland, and enjoyed it both times. The first time, we had a pepperoni pizza, a side of meatballs, and grape sorbetto. We liked the meatballs so much that, the second time, we had the Alley Kat pizza and, again, the grape sorbetto. The pizzas were both excellent--good crust with a great chew, good proportions for the toppings, and a cheese that tasted like cheese. (reductive? Maybe, but so much mozzarella is bland and rubbery that it seems worth mentioning.) The grape sorbetto was an excellent way to finish the meal both times: sweet, but not too sweet, and very bright to cleanse the palate.

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

The bartender (Ryan!) was super friendly and made me an incredible Añejo old-fashioned with El Tesoro tequila. Turns out, he knew the co-founder of Tequila Ocho years ago and helped in the early days of the additive-free tequila movement. Anyway, the cocktail was well balanced and delicious! It was now happy hour, so I ordered a gluten-free spicy salami pizza. It was one of the best thin crust pizzas I have ever had! I thought about saving some of it for later, but I inhaled the whole thing. The sauce was perfectly proportioned. The spicy salami and cheese blend was incredible. I highly recommend this pizza! I needed a second cocktail, and Ryan made me an incredible Sazerac. Sweet, but no too sweet, and a wonderful way to wrap up my meal.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. I've been coming here for years, and this place is…read moreconsistently fantastic! This review is broken up into 2 parts. Pizza (Oven) and Cocktails (Shaker). The Oven part of the restaurant name. When it comes to food, I love pizza and that is what I am going to highlight here. They have a nice selection of standard pizza and 18 different additional toppings that you can add so it is super easy to get a pizza just the way you like it OR create something never before seen. It up to you! Don't forget to ask about the daily pizza pie they are currently offering. I am gluten free. I am not celiac. I actively avoid gluten. Their GF crust is a great option. I remember the first time I got it I asked the server if this was the GF crust and they said it was. I was like amazing! Note to self: Yelp does not support emoji in reviews. The Shaker part of the restaurant name For me, the craft cocktails here are spectacular! There is a half page menu with 9 well thought out drinks. It changes regularly. Is it seasonally? I don't know. There are tasting notes and even the actual recipe for the drink! I've never seen that before. If something doesn't suit your fancy, ask for something off menu. I've done it several times and always been pleased.

We hadn't stopped in years, but we were in the neighborhood and hungry, so we stopped. I walked in and was asked if it was for "here, or to go". Since we were going to be sitting at a table outside, I said we were sitting out there and didn't know what that was considered. The guy on the other side of the counter said something like, "You think the city puts those tables there and keeps them clean?" and some other rude remarks. Maybe they are trying to be New Yorkers and play the part? I don't know, I was jut put off by it. I waited for them to heat up the slices and then went outside to eat with my wife. The pizza was just "ok" and nothing like I remember. Between the attitude and the quality of food, we will not be returning.

The service was attentive and warm. They treated us like family and talked with us at length. The food was hot, balanced in the taste and spice, and the pasta was fresh and not boxed. I loved the appetizers like the ravioli and calamari. Fresh, tasty and not to salty. Our main dishes were a variety of pasta and salad. The mix of flavors between the dishes was excellent because many Italian restaurants use the same base and just change it a bit. I am not a fan of that. Each dish should be distinct and I felt Gilda's did that. Take your time there. Enjoy the experience. The dining area is like a dining room in the home and you can tell that many of the guests had been there many times by they way they talked with the staff and where they sat. We enjoyed the dining experience and my wife was treated with respect and dignity.

We came in for the smell of pizza and we're not disappointed. We were greeted by a window with 6-8 different pizza types and two vegan options. I really liked how they had slice options for about $6 and half slice options for about $3. Really accessible for ppl with less than $5 and great to try something you're unsure of. I got a slice and salad combo for $11 that I really enjoyed. There was a lot salad that took up half the plate and I enjoyed the balsamic. The quality of the produce was 10/10. I got a piece with pesto cheese and balsamic. It was 4/5. My other friend really enjoyed the pepperoni. They have a soda fountain of all the jones sodas if that's ur thing. All the staff were really cool and stylish. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back but a solid place to return to if I'm nearby and want something reliable.
