pretty dang good pizza. very very tasty ranch, if you're into ranch like I am you will know what i'm talking about, runny, house made with lots of herbs. breadsticks are tasty but hit or miss, occasionally tasting stale/freezer burnt or doughy, but not often. much better than rovente pizza across the street. read more

Hands down one of the best pizza's in the Portland metropolitan area! Always excellent and love the daily specials and beer selection. Please open one in Vancouver read more

HOTLIPS Pizza - Hawthorne - Daily special with potato, tillamook white mozzarella and feta cheese with apple smoked bacon sooo good!! - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We're only here because we're doing a fund raising for my church, but I was wrong on the date, but we're here and we're also buying pizza for my family that we're visiting, so, oh! well! Surprising to see, there's parking on their lot, here on Hawthorne, when it's impossible to find parking! This is a bonus! I know right away what I wanted to order, and I showed the staff, which pizza it was, using my phone. We were able to order right away. We ordered 3 pizza. They were able to accommodate our half & half request. We also ordered 2 different types of salad. Both of them were pre-packaged in a cooler display nearby. One of the salad, was large enough for 4 servings (2 adults, 2 children). We were a little disappointed that we have to wait 25 mins. for the pizza, hubby should have called ahead (we were the 2nd customers there, 5-ish pm). Everyone enjoyed their pizza, including the picky-eaters and they each have seconds! The sliced onions weren't separated, (ends weren't cut-off) and people left them on their plates, not because they don't eat raw onions, but we didn't have knives. read more

Five stars for their awesome staff and how clean the place is. The pizza itself was a-oaky overall. Toppings were solid. I mostly just didn't like the crust which didn't have the flavor or crustiness I wanted despite being quite thin. Would come back if having a hankering. read more

I hadn't tried Hot Lips yet and wanted to know what makes this local chain so popular. I went in with a friend, the location didn't give much for ambiance and as you'd expect of most pizza/slice shops there's not a lot to give a sense of flair, so no concerns there. The staff was very friendly and they even let me know which breadsticks they preferred to help with my decision. I got the Vegan slice of the day which was some sort of broccoli, vegan protein balls (can't remember what they called them) and pine nut slice. It was alright, it was also near the end of the day, but it just kind've seemed a bit bland and I needed to use most of the ranch (which comes with the breadstick!) on the pizza. However, that breadstick was really delightful honestly and I'd love to try their pesto one next. Maybe we'll see if a fresh pie makes a difference. read more

HOTLIPS Pizza - Hawthorne - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I hate to give this place a one star due to the circumstances in which I tired it. (Story time) I ran into a guy who needed help with directions, in return for my generosity he bought me lunch dinner par say. We settled for pizza just to cut both our time short. I literally cried at his kindness because why were you so sweet, I hope life is treating you well. Anyways back to my review, one of the servers was extremely rude to my new friend however the female (forgive me if that is not your pronouns) server made up for it, she was a doll. Need I say both our pizzas were so bland, tasteless, stale and BURNT. I tried my hardest to scuff down the pizza to the point even my friend seen my struggle to indulge in such a HOTMESS and told me I did not have to finish it. Lol..like sir I am even more grateful for you read more

So many great pizza spots in Portland. Today we were hopping around the Hawthorne area and decided on HotLips pizza. My favorite type of spot, they have a nice variety of pizza, wine, beer and fountain drinks. They are very kid friendly, lots of seating, you can also reserve a part of the space for a private event. Be ready to bus your own table, no big deal, it's nice to help out. The pizza, is so tasty, nice size slice of pizza options or a full pie. I love the crust, its nice an thin but just has the right crisp level. We had 2 pepperoni slices. The pizza sauce is one of the best that I have tried in Portland within the various pizza shops. We also tried the oversized Parmesan bread stick, it had a little garlic, you can also get your favorite dipping sauce, we tried ranch and side of marinara sauce, to good to pass up. You are greeted with a smile by the staff, the person at the counter was super friendly and very efficient, it was the lunch rush, he did a great job managing the customers. Wish I had a HotLips near my home. read more

Love trying new pizza places but unfortunately this place is a HUGE thumbs down. My work place recently gave all the staff pizza from here and I have never tried worse pizza. No offense to anyone, I will never go eat from here again. This is the lowest graded pizza of any pizza out there. I'd rather eat Chuck E cheese pizza or Red Baron pizza before eating this pizza again from Hot Lips. read more

I was there for a private event. The beer and pizza was nice. They also have canned options for beer besides the one on tap. A causal place overall for a get together. read more

Had a pool party and ordered pizzas to be delivered In advance. They were right on time and were so delicious.

We've been going to Hotlips forever. I know I'd been before then, but my first memories of going there were walking with my friend's 2 year old daughter who refused to be in a stroller. She just graduated from college! The walk was just right, the pizza great, and they offered good salads, sodas, and beer and wine options. Guess what has changed in 20 years? Very little!! I miss the seasonal berry sodas they made, but the pizzas are just as delicious, the staff helpful and kind, and the delivery is super efficient. Now my son, who is a teen, wants Hotlips all the time. And I have no argument with that!! read more

A quick, friendly place to pop in for a slice of pizza. They have vegan slices, and they are pretty solid and inexpensive. You can eat here if the line is too long at Jam. read more

We tried the 2024 pizza week slice here - Asparagus Ricotta Truffle. It tasted great. We're a little unsure of asparagus as a pizza topping, but otherwise, this slice was fantastic. The house sauces were amazing too. read more

Hot drizzly kinda oily ish but the yummiest (oh you've been a very bad, naughty little) pizza you ever did taste and quick!!! It's good. Recommend standard ready to go pepperoni but can't go wrong. They are super sweet. And yeah, ambiance, idk, I walk with my pizza and it doesn't make it with me to my destination. Nuff said. read more

Well it's Pizza week in Portland OR and many of the pizza parlors are offering $3 slices and $24 pies . With that said I've been eating lots of pizza and today I tried HOTLIPS Pizza on Hawthorne and ordered two slices of their ricotta - garlic- scallion - asparagus pizza with truffle oil ! If those ingredients don't make you hungry then your not of this world I truly enjoyed my lunch with a bottle of hand crafted root beer... Lastly the crust was perfecto! Bon Appetite Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy read more

Gluten free pizza was good. We're pretty picky about the crusts, mainly getting our own from a place in Oakland. It's nice to have a local spot that doesn't have a heavy sour dough taste. We got a cheese, spinach and black olive light on the sauce. For our nondairy fam, a gluten free bacon and olive oil. We've already been back. I called ahead to ask what was in their flour and they were really nice about it, even though I gave them an out and said if they were too busy they could tell me to shove off. Drivers like tips in cash. read more

Too Hot To Boogie! This spot does have some hot pizza and I mean the temperature when it's fresh out of the oven. I've had this place on multiple occasions, typically on Fridays. Every time, I think this pizza can always be better, but it's not terrible. In the great words of my mom, "Not bad". There are so many different topping variations that I have tried and all of them are just okay. There wasn't a topping variation that was out of this world experience. So, if you are in need of a quick pizza, then you definitely want to come to this spot! read more

The pizza itself is alright not the best pizza I've had in Portland but good if you are already nearby and looking for something to grab quick not something I would actively search for though. It is kind of overpriced for what you get and the slices in the pizza are crazy different some are quite small and others are like 3 slices in one. The salad would have been great if their ranch wasn't so watery it was by far the worst Ranch I have ever had. Overall I probably wouldn't recommend this to someone looking to get a good pizza but if you are in a bind and need something it is decent. read more

After walking Hawthorne for over an hour, we came upon Hotlips Pizza. It was an easy stop with plenty of seating and a short line. We ordered 4 slices, 2 pepperoni and 2 cheese and we weren't disappointed. The pizza took only 5 to 7 minutes to come to our table. I loved the seasoning, cheese, and pepper shakers which made the slices zing! Great job Hotlips! read more

We had a most delicious pizza from HOTLIPS last night! Appreciate all the locally sourced ingredients, good balance of tomato sauce and other ingredients (to me, that's always the downfall for a lot of pizza shops not getting that right), and the crust was the best part, of course. Thank you for taking such care to provide a great product! read more

Instant gratification at a great price from nice people. Pizza is totally fine in my book. I come often.

We were sad to realize that our preferred Hot Lips location had shut down. So we tried this location and it did not disappoint. We love Hot Lips pizza and this is our new go to spot. The pizza is the best NY style in the area! Great service, beer selection, seating and service. Thank you! read more

HOTLIPS is my favorite vegan pizza shop in Portland. I'm honestly confused why the ratings are low because they definitely deserve higher ratings due to their delicious vegan pizzas and salads. I'm constantly switching between the vegan supreme and nirvana! super delicious and light. read more

So I ordered a pizza w pineapple and jalapeño... the whole pizza had like 6 or 7 slices spread out... imagine a 12" pizza and they put like 1 or two small pieces randomly somewhere. Is the attitude like " hey, not false advertising, I can take a picture and shows it exists?!" Or is the idea it I eat an ENTIRE SLICE IN ONE BITE and I will encounter the tasty spice? "Hey, we said there was a jalapeño on there, mission accomplished "... hey, why don't you add more than a 1/4 of a pepper on there (if that)? Dice them or something, spread them out... if I ordered a specific ingredient and paid for it, why make it so scares? Hey man, it had a slice on there, we lived up to our obligation." read more

Second time the order was incorrect. Pizza had marinara sauce when asked for garlic parm. ( tomatoes allergy). Hot Lips was the best in Portland at one time, but for the cost and distance to go , not worth getting a subpar pizza read more

What happened here? Haven't been in in a while and the food has really gone down hill. The staff is still super fast and kind but the food was really bad. The quality seems to have gone down a lot :( a huge bummer. I'll try again in a few months to see if it was just an off day and put it back up to five if I can but it really seems like the quality has just gone down and the price has gone up. read more

Hot lips is the best. I love it. Nothing can compare to Hotlips. Every employee at every location is kind and understanding and human. Every piece of food is delicious and fresh and amazing. The sodas actually bring tears to my eyes every time. And the ambiance is also great too. I literally love hot lips so much that I could cry. Go here. read more

I will always love hot lips!! It's not the most authentic, but it doesn't want to be. The pesto bread sticks are amazing, I mean beyond good.. see photo The deep dish pizza is great, it's more of a foccacia cheesy bread really as I get it without the tomato sauce, salt and cheese and a topping. Their pepperoni is very very good, veggies are fresh (almost too fresh for pizza) but I am not a huge fan of their standard pizza. Also 5 off 20 coupons for Chinook book gets you a deep dish sheet pizza for 21$ out the door and that's a good deal these days!! A must try are the sodas they make in house and the memosa that uses this same soda plus cheap bubbly wine ;) Great for family and adults alike, we all love pinball. Couches and booths are a big bonus as well IMO. Keep doing your thing Hot lips and we will keep on stopping in for that thick sheet of deep dish pizza love. read more

When you get fresh pizza from this place it's good. Unfortunately the last two times I have gotten pizza from this location it was clearly old pizza they reheated. We were even 5 minutes early for pick up and live across the street and when we got home the pizza was cold. read more

Honestly....The pizza is very dry and stale. Not tasty at all. I'm not sure they care because business appears to be busy. I ordered a vegan slice and a chicken/wheat slice. The cheese and ingredients were not remotely fresh. The crust was inedible. Perhaps, I got unlucky and would have had a better experience had I ordered a personal pan rather than the slices. However, it is the restaurant's responsibility to not sell stale slices. Despite the food, in terms of ambiance this place is great. Really cool minibar displays, paintings, and even pinball machines. Also, the servers were pretty upbeat! Just wish the food was better. read more

I've been truly impressed by the pizza pie this town turns out, but there's something about Hot Lips that keeps me coming back. Even when I'm not even hungry. Just the sight of the red kissed sign makes me hungry for some of their thin crust pizza. Maybe it's the homemade sodas made from NW fruits. Or maybe it's the cookies baked in house. Or even maybe it's the hot lips bottled hot sauces that I douse the pizza in. Maybe it's the creative toppings like squash sauce, broccoli, pulled pork, and hazelnuts. Maybe it's just that little loyalty punch card. Well whatever the reason...It just can't keep me away. read more

Great pizza parlor environment with lots of pinball machines and seating in the main dining room. Friendly staff and unique style pizzas along with the classics to pick from. We ordered the lunch special of a breadstick and a slice of pizza, which for us was the asparagus and bleu cheese as well as one each of the pesto and cheese breadstick. Additionally we tried their fresh marionberry soda. Everything was great and would try other flavors of pizza again. read more
