Escape From New York Pizza (Portland, OR)
I told you I’d be back! After more than 4 years, this pizza is just as trusty as ever – they haven’t missed a beat. You’re here to stuff airy NY-style slices that leave you satiated but not weighed down. My favorite NY slice in the PNW is the same as I’d hoped. I’d highly recommend this spot for a crust that is so easily digestible, you could feast on an entire pie.

Cheese, Meat (pepperoni, sausage, ham) Slices ∙
Structure is impeccable. Crust is so light, yet supportive and delicious. The sauce is very good…simple and light. Cheese gets it done too – balance is great, tastes fresh, doesn’t control the slice. The deliciously decadent and delicate crust was the takeaway…the sauce and cheese were good, but not big elements. Most digestible crust I’ve ever had. Meat slice not greasy at all. Nothing greasy. I love this place and will be returning next time I’m in PDX.
Apizza Scholls (Portland, OR)
Pepperoni, Onion, Jalapeno ∙
I was so excited to visit this restaurant after reading about it for so long. Once the pizza arrived, I understood all the reviews I had read. The crust was firm and thin, yet structured well. The sauce was flavorful and tangy, but didn’t overpower the pizza. The cheese tasted fresh and was balanced well on the pie. The toppings were delicious. For what is referred to as Neapolitan-American, I was enchanted by the pie lauded for a litany of reasons. Would always recommend to a friend for excellent pizza and service.
Technically New Haven style, but categorized under Neapolitan until I can do a CT tour.

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.
