Italian Family Pizza (Seattle, WA)
New Yorker: Cascioppo Brothers Sausage, Whole Cherry Peppers and topped with cold Ricotta at the end ∙
Dropped into this spot after leaving a party while visiting a friend in Seattle. We had zero expectations for the pizza, and I later found out this is one of the Emerald city’s great spots. The pizza was wonderful. The NYer was truly tasty, with an excellent amalgamation of toppings that dazzle your taste buds. I plan to return for a traditional pie, as I expect I won’t be disappointed.
Pizza Schmizza (Portland, OR)
Pepperoni & Supreme slices ∙
I spent about 6 months in Portland for work. I had the opportunity to try a lot of pizza spots, and this wasn’t the one to write home about. Solid lunch spot; not really high on my list. All love for the pizza gang, but not for me.
Panini Bakery (Newport, OR)
Pepperoni & Vegetable Slices ∙
Slipped into this bakery for a quick breakfast bite. Pro Tip: Always try the pizza at a bakery if available. The slices were a wonderful surprise. The crust, obviously, was superb. The sauce and cheese weren’t standouts by any means, but the ingredients tasted fresh. Would surely recommend for anyone coming off the beach, cruising down the Oregonian coast, or getting their fix after a long night.

Bráz Pizza (São Paulo, Brazil)
Pepperoni, Onion & Black Olives ∙
While working in São Paulo for 2 months, I was only able to try one pizzeria. Although I would have usually tried a plain pie, I’m happy I decided for toppings, considering the healthy cheese portion. For someone constantly dining in Brazil, the wonderful quality of ingredients came as no surprise. The crust was airy and light, although structured well to support the helping of toppings. The sauce wasn’t too tangy, although had a nice bite. Again, loaded up on cheese, whether it was for a gringo traveler, or their own style. Always enjoyable. Have to try the pizza when traveling internationally!
