One of the most charming décors I have seen in a while! The inside is like an Italian grandma's rustic cottage, and the outside patio is like entering a fairy tale. There are vintage Tiffany style glass-painted chandeliers all over the place. The outdoor patio is covered with real grapevines, and you can see grapes hanging from the ceiling! Luckily, we went for a late lunch and had the patio all to ourselves! Now to the food - the pepperoni pizza was to die for; the charred sourdough crust was so soft and chewy! My husband never eats a pizza crust, but he devoured the entire thing this time. They offer various dipping sauces for the crust, and we got the garlic dipping sauce which paired so well with the sourdough crust! The best part? They give you a free loaf of sourdough bread to take home after your meal! How amazing and thoughtful is that?! And oh, very cute bathroom as well!
First time trying this restaurant and the homey stylish feel is so Portland coded! I loved the vibes and the worker there was super friendly and checked in on our table multiple times. I got here right when they opened and it wasn't busy but about an hour into their opening, the indoor seating was pretty much full. There's also a heated patio outside which I didn't see but looked cute in pictures. Got the pepperoni and garlic arugula pizzas. I really liked the sourdough crust. Next time I would want to try their tiramisu!
While visiting from Dallas, The Turning Peel was highly recommended. What a great spot! Service was top notch, pizza was amazing, ambiance was calming and comfy. Definitely a must try!
We had heard good things about this restaurant and we enjoyed a good lunch. The pizza dough was really good and the toppings were great! The service was quick and friendly. My two downsides were that I didn't like the drink options and I also found it too dark. The option to order via the app was unhelpful as neither of our phones worked well inside.
Great as usual. Enjoying a delightful lunch on a beautiful autumn day. The $9 lunch special Margherita is the bomb. Best sourdough pizza in town!
Took my wife here for her 40th birthday and it did not disappoint. I'm just gonna skip the food real quick and start off by saying How family friendly this place is. We're willing buckets of toys that kids can grab and bring to their table to play with. Yes please! And then the food... We were absolutely blown away by how quick the food (and drinks) arrived at our table. And arrived with all the flavors we could have imagine! Will be back.
Literally theeeee best Neapolitan style pizza in Portland!! Sourdough crust is amazinggg. So fluffy and chewy with the perfect tanginess. Pizzas don't feel heavy and all the toppings are the perfect ratio. Ordering system is via QR code and there is a huge back patio that is beautiful. Full of plants and grape vines, it truly feels like you are over at a friend's backyard having pizza. So cozy and homey. You can't go wrong with any pizza here, and they also have sauces (crust dips) that are amazing! Seriously, just come and you won't be disappointed.
Phenomenal sourdough pizza in a serene setting. Extremely casual, order via a QR code. Very child friendly. We had the beets, arugula salad, pepperoni pizza, seasonal fig pizza, and truffle mushroom pizza, and loved every part of it.
My cousin had been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad we did! It's right over the Ross Island bridge. The pizzeria looks like a home! It's a green house and covered in vines. It was like we were walking into a home. We were greeted immediately when we entered. The hostess was warm and friendly. Inside, it was classy, with the wood, wine, and kitschy decor. There were paper menus next to the door. It consists of mainly pizza, salads, soups, apps, and desserts. I decided to get the pepperoni jalapeño hot honey added Italian sausage to it. For my drink, I got the gimlet. It came out to around $30. The hostess let us know that we are free to take a seat anywhere we'd like, inside or outside. We decided on outside since it was a nice day out. The outside patio looked whimsical and there was a lot more seating outside than in from what it looks like. It seems very private on the tables is your number and. QR code if you prefer to order it from your phone vs inside with the hostess. There is a cute shack as the bathroom. We didn't have to wait too long for our order. We received our drinks first and then the pizzas. My drink was not too sweet or salty, just perfect! The pizzas looked beautiful! So hot, warm, and delicious. The pizzas are made from sourdough. My pizza was thin, but so filling. The hot honey really added to how unique the pizza is. The pizza is 11" so not too big or small. The hostess came to check in on us every now and then to make sure everything was alright. There are to go pizza boxes and tinfoil for your leftovers. I also saw the hostess offer water to a customers dogs that also out in the patio. Staff are attentive and accommodating. We said good bye to the staff. We were satisfied! This is a great spot to lounge, talk, and have a bite for you VIBE.
Very Portland-esque pizza spot with homey, living room style decor and a beautiful back garden. The pizza was pretty good! But unfortunately mine was a bit burnt and I honestly didn't find it to be very flavorful. Crust was really good and dipping sauces is such a good idea. Wish we would have gotten the tiramisu! Drinks were good and honestly I'd go back just to have an aperol in their garden. Make a reservation! Folks behind us were told an hour or more for a table on a Friday night and we walked right in.
Finally stopped by right at opening on a weekday for open seating. Enjoyed a salad and two pizzas with three of their different special dipping sauces. Ordering at the counter was convenient and the staff was friendly and happy to answer any questions.
My friend and I got the marg and the pepperoni jalapeño hot honey. I was most intrigued by the sourdough and I thought that was a nice touch and flavor. however, I thought the dough itself was floppy and chewy like it was undercooked. Flavor on the marg was decent nothing special. the pepperoni had a good flavor and was my favorite of the two. tiramisu also wasn't that good.

We went here instead of waiting 80 minutes for a popular spot down the road. Boy are we glad we did! Pizza was absolutely incredible. Including the crust dipping sauce which is a must. We were so happy and it was out extremely quickly. Come here instead of other popular spots :) read more

food is excellent here! I would recommend checking out this hidden gem. Only con is that you don't really have service there, you have to get all utensils/plates yourself and no one checks on you but i'd still recommend it read more

This is a super cute spot that totally fits the Portland vibe! Great patio with pretty greenery all around. It was quite busy for a Wednesday night so reservations are probably a good idea. There isn't much interaction with the staff as you order right at the table with a QR code. Drinks and food are delivered, and that was the end of the staff interaction. Overall the crust is great but pizza is floppy with little to it. We didn't love any of the dips that we got. They didn't have a lot of flavor. It's a cool concept though it just wasn't for us. I still recommend if you're looking for that cool patio and enjoy this type of pizza! read more

They've done it again! We did a reservation which was nice to beat the crowd and not wait. We got the pepperoni hot honey again as it was so good and it still was amazing. I really liked the special, fennel sausage which had some shaved fennel in it that tasted like it was marinated and really was complex in flavor. It was a bit floppy of a slice but it didn't take away from the flavor or my enjoyment! The three meat was also very good. We enjoyed it all, and we'll definitely be back! Very nice to sit on the patio and hang out. read more
Just visited for the first time for the Portland Restaurant Month special, and I can't wait to come back! The owner and staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The space is so unique and cozy. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, which is great with the summer weather approaching. There is plenty of street parking available too. The food was excellent! We loved the arugula salad, truffle mushroom pizza, and the affogato. We would order everything again! Definitely get your own pizza, or a few to share...they are too delicious, you'll want to eat it all! The crust was perfect, crispy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. Highly recommended! read more
I am an avid pizza maker and make pizza at home at a very high level. There aren't many places in town that impress me... I've been hearing about the turning peel on social media and decided to try ordering it for delivery last night. I ordered the mushroom truffle and garlic, and also a pepperoni pie with a side of olives. The crust was definitely unique, and I appreciated the complexity and texture of the sourdough. These are different pizzas, they are smaller and more personal sized, which was a nice change. Overall, the quality was fantastic and I was really impressed. I am looking forward to going there in person and trying some cocktails. This place is definitely worth trying and is not like any other place in town. A+ for creating something unique, special and high-quality. read more

5/5 - Casual anniversary dinner and brought the pup along - thoroughly impressed by the quality and speed of the food, vibe and ambiance, and friendly service across the board. I've had a pie in many-a-places domestic and intl and you can tell these are made with passion and love. Garlic Truffle Mushroom Pie + a Tomato Cheese, couple of bevs, topped with a mind blowing homemade mango lassi popsicle. No notes, keep it up. read more
This is a quaint little place. The service was amazing. I really like the homemade limeade. My wife and I had a difference of opinion about the pizza. We both thought it was pretty good but my wife didn't appreciate the singed parts of the dough. I thought it added to the mystic. So it might not be for everyone. read more
This was an unassuming little place from the outside that opened up to a cute and cozy world inside! There was already a line outside waiting for the restaurant to open at 5pm but we were seated quickly. The patio area outside was a beautiful set up, however despite it being heated it was still a bit cold (our table was near the door though). The ordering style is via QR code which I wasn't a big fan of since you have to pay and tip already. The pizzas were amazing, the toppings were so fresh and it was some of the best crust I've had. The tiramisu was quite strong on the rum so I wasn't the biggest fan of it. I'd definitely come back for the pizzas! read more

I was sold on it being pizza made with sourdough. I was super excited to try this out, huge fan of pizza and sourdough. I got the margherita pizza, delicious! Also had the whipped ricotta with honey and garlic oil. It leans more in the sweeter side but a delightful addition to the pizza. We also ordered the Three Meats which was salty, but balanced with the rest of the pizza at the same time. The spot was inside a home converted into a pizza spot. It's cozy! read more
Turning Peel was sooo tasty and the crust was delicious!! I came on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, after ordering t the counter the pizza was out within ~10 minutes. The outdoor seating is lovely and super shaded. read more

This is probably one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust has a good crunch while the dough still being chewy and the sauce has good flavor. The ricotta and garlic oil crust dipping sauce was great too. I'm glad we found this spot. read more

Thank you so so much. We appreciate you
We were excited to try this spot in our neighborhood! Ambiance was great inside on a wintery night. We were surprised, but not off-put, by the method for ordering. You can order via QR code at your table, or take a card up to the counter. Our pizza arrived surprisingly fast, but then our appetizer and salad never came. We flagged someone down because, without a dedicated server, the rest of our order was forgotten. They were busy, we get it! And once we made them aware it was resolved quickly. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and we are excited to return. One disappointment was the ranch, which was giving Hidden Valley. read more
What a fun and delicious place. we did not make reservations (which they do take) and fortunately arrived a little before opening, because there was already a line forming. Luck was on our side, as we were the last party without a reservation to be seated. everyone else behind us had about an hour wait. All of the pies we tried were really really good. The tomato pie was really savory tomato sauce on sourdough crust. My son, who has never been a cheese fan, loved it! Their sourdough crust is chewy and tasty! They have a great selection of specialty cocktails and drinks, and a couple of options for desserts. The house made ice cream was pretty good, but we all thought the tiramisu needed a few more lady fingers. The atmosphere is casual and fun, and the staff was very sweet and attentive. We loved the east coast accent too! ;) I think it makes the pizza even better. We will be back and we will make sure to make reservations. read more

Wow, Great Sourdough Pizza! Whatever you put on this pizza the star of the show is the Sourdough. We got there at happy hour and we got a margarita pizza for 9 bucks and we got a 3 meat pizza at $23. They have table or counter service. The wait staff is alert and attentive to our needs. This is an old home converted to a pizzeria restaurant. On the outside they have all kinds of plants around the tables in front and in the back. The place is kind of antiquey and homey. Very comfortable. I don't eat pizza very much, but when I'm in town, I wanna go here for pizza and beer and or soft drinks because it's just delicious. read more

First time having sour dough pizza. This place did not disappoint! Enjoyed every bite, our server was super nice too! (: read more
Great food and beautiful space! I came here with my partner for lunch on a Saturday and we split the arugula parm salad and pepperoni jalapeño hot honey pizza. Both were really good and the sourdough pizza crust had that nice chew to it that I've come to love. It wasn't too busy but I've heard it's busier for dinner. The only drawbacks on the pizza were the toppings had a tendency to slide off and the center of the pizza was a bit too doughy and oily. While the food is good, the ambience is the major draw for me. The entrance, interior, and back patio are all absolutely gorgeous! The owner did an excellent job making the restaurant very relaxing. This restaurant isn't my absolute favorite pizza place, but I regularly tell others about it and definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I absolutely loved it here! The Turning Peel is the cutest and most charming hidden gem! The food was phenomenal -- the margarita pizza was perfectly done and the arugula and parmesan salad paired perfectly with it. Do not pass on the whipped ricotta with honey and garlic oil dip; I could eat it on everything. The wine selection is limited (just red or white), so I'd probably bring a bottle next time -- the corkage fee is $25. Every seating area feels cozy and homey, adding to the charm of the place. All of the staff was friendly and food came out quickly. I appreciated ordering through my phone so we could go at our own pace and it makes it a great place for groups so you're not awkwardly trying to split the bill at the end. I love it here and will definitely be back -- already recommending it to friends visiting. Don't forget to make a reservation! read more
