Great pie, definitely reminds me of New York In Portland Oregon . Super good sauce and the crust was perfect.hot sauce was a bonus as well read more

I'm from NYC so I'm pretty sure I can claim "pizza snob" status and this place delivers great pizza. What makes a great slice? A thin yet crisp crust. If you pick it off the plate it stands up on its own. I hate a floppy flaccid slice. A good amount of cheese. I need to get a good cheese pull. Flavorful sauce. Their marinara has pieces of tomato in it. It's robust and laid on thick. A good topping bar with red pepper, oregano and Parmesan cheese. They make their own jalapeño and habenero hot sauces that are yummy. Don't sleep on their crispy flavor drenched breadsticks (garlic or pesto) which come with a ranch or marinara dipping sauce. Service is fast and friendly. Location has free parking! read more

Visiting from CO found this beautiful spot with a beautiful location! Grabbed an 18in Vegan classic with a side of pepperoncini's and copious amounts of their house made jalapeño and Habanero hot sauces! The pie was amazing from the veggies, red sauce to the perfectly crunchy crust on every piece! This was the perfect balanced pizza. Good Beer and wine menu as well. Stop in and sit outside and eat some delicious ZA. We'll be coming back the next time around! Oh and side note, the two pieces leftover tasted amazing cold for my next day brekkie! read more

Ambiance: 6.5/10 walk up by the slice pizza joint. Cool exterior and great location Service: 6/10 good, nothing to complain about Food: 6.5/10 Loved how fast the food came out. Order by the slice, they heat it up fast, everything you'd want in a quick pizza spot. The slice I got was good but too blue cheese forward. I would have appreciated a bit more apple to compensate or maybe some type of jam/jelly to make it like a charcuterie style pie or even candied walnuts. But if you like blue cheese, give it a try. Dough was solid even after reheating it. I'll be back to try more slices. read more

Nice variety of slices available at lunch during my visit. Had the Winterarita (Margherita) slice which was a big, beautiful slice. Very foldable. I added red pepper flakes for additional flavor. I found the tomato sauce slightly too sweet, but still tasty. The slice had a bit of natural flop, so could have used another minute of oven time, however being that it's sold by the slice, I understand the challenge of keeping each slice at the perfect bake. Good, quick service. Free WiFi. Canned and fountain soda and drinks, as well as several local beers on tap. read more

HOTLIPS Pizza - Pearl - Pepperoni slice with a pint of beer - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Not my favorite pizza but decent, I was looking for a quick cheap slice and a beer and that's exactly what I got. When I went they had 5 slice options, a pepperoni & a cheese, and a rotating meat/vegetarian/vegan option. Cheese/pepperoni are a bit too basic for me and the meat option that day was Hawaiian so I went for the Primavera (vegetarian) which was a pesto base w/ cheese but was a bit salty and maybe not heated up enough. I felt like it was missing something so I added their habanero sauce which improved it, but also I usually like meat so I take that into account. They have great HH deals tho, a slice+pint for 9.25 & I think it's all day now. read more

I happened to be in the area at lunchtime and stopped into HotLips for a slice. This location is in the Eco Trust building. I had never been here before, but it's pretty cute. They have a nice patio, wonderful old wide plank wood floors, just a couple of indoor tables, and of course, pizza, sodas, and ice cream sandwiches from Ruby Jewel. I got the available vegetarian slice (Winterita - marinara and basil, even though the temperature outside tells me it's very much summer). They heated it up for me. It was tasty and service was friendly. I think it came out to about $5 for a slice after tip. read more

We ordered 3 pizzas for our World Cup watch party and Hotlips went above and beyond to get it to us at our scheduled time. The pizzas were amazing (the Meat Supreme and Rita were tied for fan fave) and HotLips will have our business for any and all future gatherings read more

Solid slices. Felt a bit overcooked, but they were still pretty tasty. The ice cream sandwich was bussing! Nice spot.

WHO DOESNT LOVE PIZZA AND A FUN STAFF - I had lunch here and would always come back - beautiful location!

My husband's favorite food is pizza so naturally one of our first stops in Portland was Hot Lips. We were between Sizzle Pie and Hot Lips and a friend told us she prefers Hot Lips and the reviews were better as well. The pizza itself was super yummy, the crust was thin and crispy. The basil pesto breadstick had a lot of pesto flavor and dipped in ranch was Heaven. The jalapeño sauce made the pizza in my opinion. It wasn't too spicy that it overpowered the pizza but just enough kick to bring out the flavors. I'm also such a sauce and condiment person so I am such a sucker for a good dipping sauce. My husband and I are currently sober so we were happy to see a wide selection of non alcoholic beers. The ranch was yummy and flavorful. Still my favorite pizza in the world is Regents Chicago style pizza in La Jolla but Hot Lips still was a yummy meal! read more

Stumbled on this place thanks to their happy hour sign! We stopped in to see what the specials were and landed on a $4 pint, pizza slice and breadstick! The gentleman at the register was super friendly and helpful, and even gave us both the marinara and house made ranch to try since we were from out of town! We got the cider, specialty pizza with the chicken sausage, onion and arugula, and the parmesan breadstick. All were great, but I'll definitely be dreaming about that breadstick later! read more

Best pizza in Portland Oregon first timer and was amazing for the first time taste is great and service

Simple, quick, and friendly. Not more you can ask from a pizza spot. Our hungry group ordered an 18-inch half and half pie of the Artichoke Garlic Sauc and the Brooklyn. The pie came piping hot. It's full of toppings as well. I love how the Artichoke one tasted, creamy and garlicky. The Brooklyn one was good too with tomatoes and olives but my vote goes to the Artichoke. I do love how their crust was very thin and evenly crisp and brown at the base. The dough didn't impart too much flavor but the texture was on point. Pretty happy with the spot, all in all. read more

Service: Pizza: Although quite oily on the top, the under carrier was crisp. I wish I had the ability to take one slice home and toast it for personal preference! Sheesh these slices are big and filling. I definitely could have had just one and a beer this time around. Crust is bomb dot com, wish there was more :( read more

HOTLIPS Pizza - Pearl - Pepperoni and Boneyard RPM IPA - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Hands down the BEST pizza in town and yes, I've tried the 2 that everyone raves about being the best. But none are as good as Hot Lips, it's not even up for debate, it's simply a fact! I'd been going to the PSU Hot Lips when it was around, back when I was in college, a loooong time ago lol. The fact that it's continued to be so delicious after all these years, decades even, is pretty amazing. Even great places aren't always consistent. My photos are of the vegetarian Summerita we had this month, and Summerita and Winterita half & half we had the previous month. The dough is fabulous, and the toppings are fresh and delish. I've also had their vegan pizza, and wow, you don't even miss the cheese or meat! Not even the cheese and I'm a cheese fanatic! This place is ridiculously outstanding! The staff are all super nice! I only know Drew by name and he's always so friendly and personable. You just can't go wrong here. Just. Can't. read more

Always on a mission to find a good thin crust pizza, HOTLIPS creates a really tasty pie! The crust is thin and has the right chew, the ingredients are fresh and they offer lots of toppings. For me it's a margarita pie, its the benchmark before I order anything else. Theirs has the right balance of the simple combo of tomato, mozzarella and basil. Simple and sooo good! Pepperoni is my second choice and it's also very tasty, not too greasy as some pepperoni pizza can be. The Pearl location gets crowded but lines move fast. read more

this location has plenty of spacing. the pizza slices are new york sizes and the crust is a very crispy and satisfying texture. that was my favorite thing about the pizza. i liked the natalia but i wish they put more toppings on. the breadsticks were okay, i would not get them again next time. they weren't as flavorful or crunchy as i wished. the employees were super nice and fun to talk to. i would come back here for the pizza! read more

Sustainable and certified Shepherds grain (frown by a handful of Oregon farmers) - this wheat flour is what makes this pizza taste great. But that is not all. It starts with dirt. It starts with love for the soil. Seed to plant to wheat flour to fermented pizza dough. Healthier soil means healthier and more nutritious food. The soil is part of the recipe for the great taste in the pie. And Hot Lips knows how best how to prep the dough, flip it, spread the tomato sauce and scatter farm fresh fresh ingredients. Into the oven and bake. 20 minutes later contactless pickup. I walk there in a matter of minutes. Walk home. Pop a few slices in the oven to re-heat. Since the pandemic, we've ordered at the rate of about one a week. Our favorite is the Winteria, pesto and marinara with mozzarella fresh mozzarella. Add toppings ok. Pie perfection! Week in and week out the pie is consistent, good crunch on the crust and good distribution of toppings. A family owned and operated pizza shop since 1984. read more

I'm from New Jersey and am a total pizza snob. This place was sensational and passed my snob test!!! Best of all, they had vegan cheese. Yippee!!! read more

I dont even need know where to start, but the order of breadstick was so embarrassing that i couldn't believe it. Solely because of the breadstick, they are getting a 1 star. If i was able to give a lower score, i definitely would. Also, even the pizza crust was a little messed up in the box and normally, i wouldn't care but added to the breadstick its clear that either they just threw this order out, or thats just how all orders are. The website needs to be more descriptive because the delivery driver was, but because of the breadstick, i would never order from here again. read more

My favorite pizza in Portland. The toppings and combinations are creative, unique and delicious. Great options for vegetarians, meat-eaters and vegans alike. The quality of the ingredients is really good too - good quality cheese, fresh tasting vegetables and sauce, etc. My go-to is the winterita, which is dollops of red sauce and dollops of pesto and dollops of cheese. It's basic, but a combination that goes really well together. I love trying their new pizzas they offer on rotation too. Always find something new I like. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of the food here. My date and I started off with the pesto bread sticks, which were absolutely delish! The pesto flavor was strong, but not overbearing. I didn't really feel like the marinara sauce was needed, but it was nice that it was included. The "baller" aka meatball pizza was great as well. The homemade meatballs were super tasty, but I really enjoyed how light, chewy, and tasty the crust was. This was another food highlight of Portland! read more

Not even sure how I've gone so long without reviewing my favorite Hotlips location! I seriously have spent so much time here that it is almost impossible for me to think of not at least stopping in for a slice each time I'm in town. So, if you get here by 11 you can score $2 slices of cheese pizza goodness. I can eat two whole slices in one sitting....something I do far too often but somehow not enough. So, yeah I love their cheese pizza for the thin crust and cheesy goodness, also I dig their sauce. They all come together to make a slice that I eat from cheesy bottom, to crusty doughy top! I'm a trash person and I always spring for their homemade ranch for dipping, because everyday is the first of the month when your eating pizza! Anyway, download the ChinookBook app to get free slice rewards! Also, pay no mind to that chick huddled at a table eating pizza with glee... it's a treat for me! read more

My pizza took 2 hours to deliver and it was charred through. (I live down the street and so make your own assumptions.) I honestly would've been happier if they had stop taking orders if they were that busy. Which was the excuse I was given. In any case if you still insist on giving me a burned pizza, free would be only appropriate. It would have made me forget that I couldn't eat that night! read more

Oooooh Hot Lips Pizza pulls me in every time. This place is dangerously close to work and has creative and delicious slices consistently rotating. I'm so thankful that the space is a judgement free zone when I go in and order multiple slices just for myself. When you find that good pizza place that uses fresh ingredients, and is generous with the toppings! I've been there and enjoyed the traditional pepperoni slice. I've also been there and enjoyed the deliciousness of Hawaiian slices with fresh not canned pineapple! But most of all I've been gleefully surprised at how good the veggie slices are, for example; broccoli, cheddar, HAZELNUT pizza with a squash sauce. Oh yeah they also have great salad and breadsticks, but it's all about the pizza. read more

There was more than one attempt to eat here when the service felt so gross the pizza lost its taste. The woman tonight was brash. She was tolling her eyes and condescending. In a matter of 9 min to come pick up 4 slices, they sold them. She was at least kind enough to tell me I should have known better than to ask for what they had before coming. Good pizza. Fire the staff that make your pizza taste as gross as the way they treat your customers. read more

Giant pies, terrific crust, toppings are generous. Can be a little spendy(but where in the Pearl isn't these days) but the pesto breadsticks are a must have for our household. Will say, the online ordering doesn't have the ability to denote what has been 86'd for the day, so I've been let down a few times. read more
