    sausage & msuhrooms
    Dan R.

    Portland pizza place #110. Pretty place, big windows. Excellent service. Very handsome pizza. Very tasty ingredients--had the solsiccia e funghi--most tasty sausage, good interplay of textures with the shrooms , peppers and cheese, minimal fresh tomato sauce/ the outer crust a little too soft inside, and the tips of hte slices, even when folded, would tip down (unless you flipped that over) & the cheese & toppings could slide off. maybe there's a trick to doing this and keeping yours hand clean.. maybe this crust was just a little underdone. and not saying I wouldn't come back for another.

    A nice cozy spot located in Downtown PDX. The place easily fills up during lunch with the lunch crowd and shoppers in the area. We ordered a carbonara and sausage and mushroom pizza to share. Both items were really good, but if I had to pick one, I would say their pizza is something to not overlook. It was well made with the crust having that chewiness and airy-ness that I like. I would gladly come back here to try some of their other items.

    Came here after a very quick map search and without checking the menu as I figured pizza was pizza and my relatively picky dining companion and I would find something. I was in a rush but was very impressed by this place. The inside is cute, the service was excellent, and the pizza was interesting (and delicious!) as was their version of arancini. Would have loved to have had time for dessert. They weren't very busy thankfully and we got our pizza and appetizer very quickly. Would happily visit again.

    Super yummy pizza! My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite while walking around the area and split a pizza and salad. The food came out quick and delicious! They also have plenty of different types of pizza and toppings to add on. Definitely planning on going back!

    First off menu in the window was really helpful, I love places that do that. We were just walking by, we wondered what they cooked in there after reading the menu, we didn't have to wonder anymore. We walked right in. Now I'm gonna tell you about the service, really really good. I felt very cared for, even the way they placed the napkins in the silverware really shows a love of the craft. The food was great, very fresh ingredients, a few new things that we hadn't tried before and had a wonderful experience. We ordered two pizzas for three people, two orders of bruschetta and drinks, I had a wonderful Italian spritz, I recommend that for sure, my wife had one of the wines that were offered and my daughter who is under age had a soda out of the bottle, some Italian flavor with really good taste. Just go, you're gonna love this place.

    Popped in on a Wednesday evening about 30 min before they closed and the gentleman who took my order was very kind and friendly. I always feel bad walking in right before closing time, however, I wasnt made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The interior looked very nice and if it wasnt for the time I would have eaten in. I placed my order to go and pizza was out in about 8 min. I ordered the sausage, mushroom and pepper pizza. Fortunately my hotel was just about 4 min away and the pizza held up very well on the walk. Pizza was delicious and crust was pillowy with a slight chew and char. Quality ingredients and the peppers added a nice subtle spice to help balance everything.

    This place was a happy accident. My friend and I were dead set on eating Italian this night. We went to Carena's not realizing they'd closed permanently. It was not updated in Google and we were bummed. Then a lady came out of the shadows telling us about Musca. She let us know this is one of the best restaurants she'd been to and she was spot on. The food was sooo good. The space was small, but they found a table immediately. It was nicely decorated with wonderful service.

    10/10 would recommend! We tried three different appetizers and would order every single one again. That brushetta ... omg. The pizzas were insanely delicious. I can't wait to come back!

    Bologna Love! Mortadella & pistachio pesto. Divine.
    Kim G.

    I'm still dreaming about the Mortadella pizza we had last night! Thankfully, I brought a slice home and will enjoy later. This is the best pizza in Portland! With combinations I've only enjoyed previously in Rome. This particular pizza is listed on the menu as Bologna's Love, and it's aptly named! Get it! The mortadella, bologna, studded with pistachios, is placed over a base of pistachio pesto. Yes! Divine! And stracchino cheese, a superbly creamy cow's milk melting cheese, that adds to this pizza's creaminess, a delightful contrast to the lightly charred crust. When a friend invited me to dinner, I knew the pizza would be fantastic because it's the sister restaurant of Mucca Osteria, next door, arguably the best high end Italian restaurant in Portland. The pizza menu boasts many traditional Roman ingredients and combinations, in pizza form. For example, the Amatriciano is topped with delicious guanciale (pork cheek), carmelized onion, mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano, adding a salty flavor layer. Fabulous. We shared the Cesar salad, both of us exclaiming it was one of the best we ever had. Crisp romaine, noticable flavor bombs of minced anchovies with a creamy in-house dressing That I wish they bottled. We left no crumbs! Since we have different wine preferences, we enlisted the assistance of the Sommelier to select a wine. The Cab Franc she recommended was simultaneously light (few tannins) with rich berry notes. Perfection. For lunch they serve pasta, but only during lunch. And yes, that includes the 4 pastas of Rome, each of which I love for different reasons. Cacio e Pepe (Pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper) for the saltiness and simplicity; add gianciale for pork goodness and its Alla Gricio. Add egg yolks for richness and it's Carbonara. Sub tomatoes and onion for egg yolks and it's a tomatoe based Amateiciano. I need to visit 4 times so that I can enjoy each! Not kidding, thats a declaration. Inside is small and unassuming with an open view of the chefs doing their magic. The waitstaff is wonderful, friendly and efficient. This is new favorite casual restaurant. Located on SW Morrison between 9th & 10th, which is the street car route so there is no parking out front. Park at the Smart Garage on SW 9th, right before Morrison, and walk one half block up to restaurant on the right. This is legit pizza.

    It took us a little bit of time to be seated... but the ambiance was great it is a casual pizzeria but a little bit more modernized and more chic! The service was great and they were all friendly! The food was amazing !!! There isn't too much chose from but all of what we ordered were all delicious! The pizza are amazing!

    Your taste buds aren't ready for this... I know Kens gets a lot of pie love but Mucca's deserves a slice. They are without a doubt the most under-rated pizza joint in PDX. Don't listen to me, try it and enjoy the party in your mouth. Showstopper: North and South pizza, Mushroom Bruschetta Still amazing: Mushroom pizza, Chili bruschetta Good but just good: Arancini I have tried multiple times to snag the lunch pasta but so far, struck out. I can't wait to go back, I love these guys.

    North and South pizza

    Recently, my wife and I were on our annual PDX visit and we walked past Mucca and decided to drop in for a late lunch. We were excited that the reviews were so good (plus I love pizza). We ordered the North and South, soup (for my wife) and some bread. We were seated promptly (not crowded at the time) and the staff came out to take our order fairly quickly. Then the wait started. I noticed others arriving after us started getting food. Then, my wife's soup came out. No bread. Staff kept passing us by. She asked, twice. Finally it came out after soup was nearly gone. She did like the soup though. A little more of a wait (zzzz) and finally, the pizza arrived. The outer rim of the crust was great and tasty. Good pizza starts with the dough! Sadly, this is where it kinda of started to get a mixed review. The pizza is a super thin crust. The large amount (or type) of toppings overwhelmed the oven's ability to cook the pizza enough to make it possible to pick up a slice without it drooping/falling apart. Two hand slice eating was needed. On top if that, the toppings didn't stand out. I had to pick off the greens, there was so much and was a bit overwhelming. The other toppings were merely okay. We didn't even finish the pizza. The combination of the inattentive service plus mushy pizza was a real bummer. Maybe our bad visit timing but it was disappointing.

    Loved them!! Just like the mucca osteria, I loved their pizza. The toppings on vegetarian pizza were unique and definitely shows the chef's experience. We all enjoyed our orders and we look forward to be back to try them again.

New York and Chicago are still trying to catch up. But we are in the Pacific Northwest, nowhere near Loui's Pizza or Buddy's Pizza (Detroit pizza staples). So many times, what tries to pass off as "Detroit style" falls miles short. Then came "Ranch" where I stood outside and screwed up enough courage to try yet another Detroit style pizza. The interior was small, one wall lined with tomato sauce cans, the menu was bolted to a wall. The smell took me back and that gave me some hope. The pizza arrived at the table, the wife and I have varied tastes so we each ordered a quarter pizza. Mine was pepperoni, the wife had a veggie. The pizzas looked right, square, caramelized crispy edges, heavy toppings... and then on the side of the plate was this cup of ranch dressing. Duh! "Ranch" obviously has to have a good ranch, right? I dipped my pinky finger in the ranch and took a taste. You would not think one ranch can be so far ahead of the others, but ranch is the place for ranch, as well as pizza. My first bite brought a smile to my face, it was just, right in every way that a Detroit pie should be. I have been back to try their #4 pie with sausage and ricotta, and I am looking forward to more trips. If all that was not enough, the service was friendly, the food came out so quick (about 10 minutes) and the place was nice and clean.

If you're in or planning to be in Portland, Oregon, I respectfully and enthusiastically recommend you include Pizza Kat in your considered alternatives. A thin, flexible, and tasty-all-by-itself crust. Tomato sauce that adroitly walks the lines between sweet and acidic, and between supporting the other elements well, fading into obscurity, and overwhelming those other elements. The right amounts of the right cheeses. And fresh, tasty toppings. (Sweet Italian sausage not dominated by garlic and mushrooms worth eating on their own, for two delicious examples.) Even better, prices are reasonable, and delivery is available. We had some delivered to our hotel, and it arrived almost as hot and tasty as we would have expected were we at a table near the ovens. There are other pizzas worth eating -- including the thicker-crust "deep cut" slices available before and after select shows at Revolution Hall. But when you want the thin-crust version done right, Pizza Kat will leave your taste buds and tummy purring, without clawing the life out of your wallet.

Unfortunately, this was both our first and last visit. I don't think I've ever disliked a pizza before, but this may be the first one I would genuinely call bad. I enjoy wood-fired pizza and don't mind a little char, but somehow this pizza tasted noticeably bitter despite having very little visible charring. Whether it was the lack of sauce, the sauce itself being quite bland, or simply an imbalance of flavors, the end result just wasn't pleasant. The biggest issue is the value. A $25 cheese pizza doesn't need to be life-changing, but it should at least taste better than Costco's. In this case, unfortunately, it didn't. If your goal is to enjoy great pizza, I'd recommend one of the many other pizza spots in the area instead.

The crust needs to be thick but light and airy in the inside, with a crispy, greasy bottom pocked with air holes. The bottom of this crust was smooth, which probably limits how much oil they can use. The sauce was way too thick (about 3/8") and extremely salty. The cheese and pepperoni were ok. Quality of ingredients was good. Overall the pizza was just average, and I would have preferred Jet's. Price was good and 1 pepperoni slice is a meal. I ordered 2 slices and did not finish the second. (For comparison, 2 slices of Buddy's is a meal but I end up eating a 4 square.) Good service, low frills place.

    Portland is a tough place for pizzerias since the variety & quality is so good throughout the city…read more But for 25+ (35?) years, this little slice-or-whole-pie place in NW 23rd has churned out the tied-for-best pizza in the city. It's true NY style, thin enough to fold if you're walking, the perfect amount of oily, with only the freshest of mozzarella. Slices are available at the counter (and a few stools if you're just having a quick lunch) all day. For a whole pie, call ahead to schedule (503-22-SLICE has been their number since I moved here decades ago) and they'll give you a time generally 20-35 minutes in the future depending on how busy they are. Staff are just like NYC: no suck-up, extra sarcasm, and if you stand at the register for 5+ minutes fumbling with your wallet, they might make a snide comment.
