I always love ordering from ottos. Now that they have a place on read street it's more accessible than driving down to old port. They have their 4-6 happy hour where you can get a free slice woo woo! Came in for some meatballs and a chicken and Basil Pizza. The meatballs came out within 5 minutes; we ended up saving the sauce for dipping our crust in! The pizza was on point as always. I grew up on pizza in Brooklyn NY so it's usually hard to impress me on pizza places but Otto's knows how to cook a pie. read more

When I'm stressed and tired, I will order an Otto pizza delivered, and Otto never fails me. My pizza arrives hot and delicious, on time, and the driver follows my instructions. Try the "extra sauce" option -- it's life-changing. read more

Pretty good. Variety of slices at lunch, never too busy that you have to wait, several locations to pick from depending where you are in town. read more

I love all Otto's locations and have eaten at all, but this one is the best! The service, quality, and attention to detail is amazing. I go out of my way to hit this location because it's consistently amazing every time we go! Months later after consistent ordering, I went to get a pick up order and it was incorrect. They were so pleasant and gracious about it and remade the pizza and let us keep the one that was incorrect. You don't find that level of customer service anywhere anymore and this is why I love this location! read more

I ordered the monthly special, 3 mushroom and cheese pizza. Looked yummy and I added chicken. But very few mushrooms made it to my pizza. Come on Otto's! You can do better than this. I'm a loyal customer. Provide the pizza you advertise! read more

Ordered a pizza tonight with a 2 1/2 hour delivery time frame. It's now 10:15 PM, Otto is closed and I HAVE NO PIZZA! What kind of business is this? Take my money and don't deliver a product!? read more

Love the pizza, and counter service on pick up our two pizzas was friendly and prompt. OTTO pizza is one of my favorites! Did not eat inside so cannot comment on ambiance. read more

Otto's is fantastic for it's inventive flavors, efficient website/delivery service, and it's DELICIOUS high quality pizza! I live in the west end so this location is the one that provides free delivery to my house. 8 times out of 10 the pizza delivered is good and hot. It usually takes about 45 min and I love the easy process on their website. You can create an account where they save your address, it's easy to pick pizzas (and the online menu is always updated with the monthly special), you're even able to customize them. Otto's is good about regularly rewarding you with $5-$10 off coupons in your account (plus Sundays and Mondays you earn double points per $1 spent!). I also appreciated that recently when ordering 4 largest for a group, they even brought us paper plates and napkins with the order free of charge! That's above and beyond service. In terms of the pizza itself, it is made with the most perfect cornmeal-encrusted thin crust. I'm not into the mashed potato flavor (it's like too much dry starch and bread together) and the only other disappointing one I've had was the buffalo cauliflower - it was large pieces of cauliflower that totally weighed down the thin crust so it didn't seem to work. Every other flavor I've had I loved! Their simple four cheese, margherita, and pepperoni are delicious (which is the good sign of a solid pizza place in my book), and then I'm a BIG fan of the pulled pork/mango, the butternut squash/cranberry/ricotta, and the October special of pumpkin/sage/sausage. I love that they're constantly coming up with clever flavors and not tried of strange combos. read more

Pizza, pizza!! This is by far the best pizza around in my opinion!! Otto's has a large pizza selection with unique and flavorful combinations. Some of my favorites include: chicken and basil; sausage and vidalia onion; mushroom, bacon, vidalia onion; chicken, pear, and fontina; and four cheese. I mean really, nothing you order can ever be wrong. Unless it's so wrong, that it's right. Otto's has numerous locations. I love the new Read St. location because it's close to my home. It's always packed! If you're looking for a quieter location, head to John Roberts Rd in South Portland or Cottage Rd in South Portland (cool place in the summer because they open a large door since it used to be a garage). I will also say this...If you love rewards, get the Otto's app!! For every $100 you spend, you get $10 off. I hate to think about how much money I've spent at Otto's since downloading this app, but then I don't feel so bad because I know I've saved a lot of cash, too! :) read more

Ordered delivery from here on Friday, as my friend was getting in super late, and, I wanted to make sure she had something to eat when she arrived. I opted for the Margherita and Mushroom & Roasted Cauliflower pizza and both were delicious! As a matter of fact, we continued to eat the pizza throughout the weekend, both cold and heated up and it was delicious all weekend. A solid option when visiting Portland! read more

Great pizza enjoyed by everyone at my luncheon meeting. Otto's never disappoints. Delivered when I needed it by a friendly driver.

First time in Portland. And we were told that the spot to be in for pizza is OTTO's. Went in at around 6:30pm on a Saturday night. We were greeted by a less than enthusiastic waiter, which I can completely understand. However more so than enthusiasm, or the lack thereof. What had us truly disappointed was the pizza. Now, the fact that I'm a New Yorker is not why this pizza sucks. Quite frankly Rose's bagels blow anything from NY out of the water. So no, the issue is the fact that my hands were literally covered with charcoal after eating a tasteless slice. Let's start at the beginning, ordered a cheese pie 12". Comes out looking like a margarita, (cheese on bottom with watery tomato sauce in spots on top). It had 0 taste, aside from burnt crust. Literally the first time in my life I resorted to putting salt on pizza. The underside was covered in burned to a char specks of what I can only describe as charcoal from lack of cleaning the oven. The after taste was so bad we couldn't get past it without a whole cup of water. But we were starving so we did. But look at the pics. Your hands should not look like a coal miners after a slice. read more

Yummy pizza, easy ordering system and quick service. Have only been for pick up, but looks like a cool place to grab a bite too!

It would be ridiculous to give OTTO anything but 5 stars. My daughter would kill me. Thin crust, tasty sauce and imaginative renditions using strange combinations of toppings, It really is the only pizza in Portland. We are regulars st Read Street but I frequent at least 3 other locations as well. Always good decor, prompt friendly service and tasty pies. read more

OTTO - Saccarappa by Mast Landing on tap - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

Great staff! Love their bar. Easy to order a pie and watch a game. Plenty of parking off peninsula. Ottos pies are unique. Not the best pizza I've ever eaten. They always seem a little dry no matter what combo you order but their unique offerings of specialty pies and ingredients is fun. Their pies are expensive as compared to other pizza joints-not restaurant quality/level for the price but slightly more upscale as compared to national pizza chains. read more

After a brutal exam, all a girl needs is some great pizza and good wine. This location is so close to UNE, I did not notice it. It is right off Forrest Ave, you cannot miss it. Literally walking distance and I did not notice. Better late than never. Different location same great pizza. Decided to try something new and ordered the Sriracha chicken and avocado pizza. This pizza was so good. The cheese, the chicken oh my goodness but not sure if I am a fan of the cooked avocado. It will take some getting used to. The crust is thin as always but this was a little chewy; exactly what I was craving. With the addition of a glass of wine felt like I was fine dining right in my home. Definitely will be visiting more since it is so close. read more

My order never arrived. I waited for two hours, called three times to check in and was told it should be in the way. My last call I was told the driver said he delivered it and already went home. I asked for a refund. So disappointing as we stayed up late to wait for our dinner which never came and most other places in Portland were already closed for takeout. read more

Was contacted about my last experience and offered a gift card. Ordered a couple of pies and they were burnt with little black pieces all over the crust. Really sad about this. Usually a big fan of Otto's. Guess it's time to find a new pizza place. read more

Excellent crust as well as toppings on the manchego, mushroom and herb pizza we recently purchase as takeout from the Read Street location. After having bad luck with other local takeouts, we decided to give Otto another try (even though it is further than is desirable), and we were not disappointed! A few minutes in a 250 degree oven, pizza heaven! read more

Yalllll are crazy for any of your bad reviews. This pizza SLAPS. Unbelievable. Must try. Ask for Parmesan on the side. Thank me later. Fast and nice service. Ottos has done it, stop your food search here read more

Always a great experience with Otto's whether eating in, taking out or delivery! This was a delivery - great pizza and excellent service and delivery by a friendly driver!! Thanks... read more

This new location is great! Always a great selection for slices, nice bar, lots of tables of various sizes. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Only downside is a lack of parking spaces. Don't forget to join their loyalty program! They also have a punch card for slices which is nice - buy 10 and get one free! The combinations may sound weird, but don't be discouraged. My favorites are the mashed potato/bacon and the sweet potato/ricotta pizzas. read more

What used to be a solid 4 star pizza place has sadly gone down to 2 stars. We ordered takeout on a Friday night from the Read street location as it is close to our house. We ordered a large cheese pizza with extra cheese. After bringing it home we realized half of the pizza was burnt, and for a "large" pizza this looked rather small. We called back over and they offered to give us credit for a different time, or make us a new pizza. Back over we went to pick up a new pizza. This pizza was even smaller than the first one, but it didn't look burnt so we were okay with the size. Little did we know the bottom on the pizza was black. There were also little black flakes on both of the pizzas. I am not sure if it is just that they need to clean the ovens or what is happening, but we will not return to this location, and possibly not to Otto's again. read more

We've been to the location in the Old Port and after hitting up a few breweries in the Industrial Park were happy to find this one not far away. The tap list was great and my wine was pretty good too. We started with the meatballs and loved the sauce. We got the sausage, broccoli rabe & red pepper flake pizza as well as the chicken and basil pizza. Both were great and really hit the spot. There's also an area that serves just slices if that's what you prefer. We'll definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

The best pizza! Thin crust, fresh ingredients, amazing flavor. Go get some! Creative specialty pies plus the basic favorites.

We've ordered pizza twice from OTTO. The first put me off a bit. I was not a fan of the Congress St. venue. Some months later my husband and I ordered a pizza for delivery. We live within 3-4 minutes away from the Read St. location. The second pizza was LOADS better than our first experience with Otto. The pie arrived hot and had plenty of fresh pepperoni and cheese. Was a very good pizza and the thin crust was greatly appreciated. I will order from the Reed St. location again and soon. read more

I consider myself a pizza connoisseur and OTTO meets all of my standards for excellence! The pizza is made consistently with fresh ingredients. The staff is polite, friendly, and professional. The OTTO near my house feels like a neighborhood pizza parlor! The option to order online is convenient! Delivery is always prompt and a pleasant experience! We wouldn't consider ordering pizza from anywhere else! OTTO is hands down the most authentic, wood-oven pizza this side of the Atlantic Ocean! read more

As we were heading to Portland's airport, we decided we were in the mood for pizza and had heard good things about OTTO and this location is literally 5 minutes from the airport. One of the best things about OTTO is that you can just order slices! So if you want to try multiple different pizzas, this is a great way to do it. On this occasion, Mr David and I were able to agree on our pizza choice, so we went ahead and ordered a pie. Only small and large sizes here at 12in or 16in. Since we were literally going to be jumping on a plane in a couple hours, we went with the 12in Sausage and Vidalia Onion pizza and supplemented with Caesar and BLT salads. One of the best parts on the menu at OTTO is the unique flavor combinations. I wish that we had had more time to try the entire menu, but we didn't. One pie that sounds particularly interesting and wonderful is Sriracha Chicken and Avocado pie. Hopefully I can get back to try it! Both salads were fresh and made with quality ingredients and I literally have nothing bad to say about them. The Sausage and Vidalia Onion pizza was to die for. The particular pie is tomato based and although I did feel like the tomato base needed to be cooked down a little more (read: it tasted a little tinny) the flavor was still there. The sausage didn't leave the pizza feeling overly greasy and there were just the right amount of onions. The crust was thin and crispy which is my pizza crust preference. The building is awesome and industrial and the booth seating is massive; as in I'm pretty sure you could seat 10-12 people in a booth comfortably. The pizza kitchen is open and it was fun to watch the pizza being made. The service we received on this visit wasn't very friendly or welcoming, but we by no means received poor service. read more

Staff is incredibly helpful and the pizza was delicious with plenty of toppings! The specialities are always creative and the crust is a great thinness (not quite like NY but thinner than most around here). read more

This pizza is always a treat when we visit Portland. The combinations are super delicious (we always order out of our comfort zone and are never disappointed!) Fresh ingredients, creativeness and yummy crust score this pizza high on my favorite's. read more

Otto's pizza is consistently delicious! I especially love their crust. Their service is friendly, helpful and respectful, even when super busy. Thank you Otto's! read more

In a neighborhood that has its fair share of longstanding townie establishments, I love that Otto's new place is just a hop, skip, and short drive away from my house. What took you so long to get out to Riverton? The pizza quality is top notch and remains unchanged (best in Portland?), the service is good, and the location is perfect. The only thing I find hard to swallow is that the price of 2 slices and a beer is $16-17. Deep down inside, this seems a tad bit high to me, although I know I know both will be amazing. Maybe I just need to hit up happy hour more. Keep up the good work! Hopefully I've found my new neighborhood bar. read more

I appreciate that they have vegan cheese, but lately they dump half a bag on there and even if you get the pizza well done it's just a floppy slime pile mess. So be sure you ask for light vegan cheese. read more

How can I even begin to articulate my love toward this majestic prince-charming-of-pizza places (and this location in particular). Even when I drive by, my heart flutters. The illuminated "OTTO" letters that adorn the building are what I envision exists when people discuss the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel." If any pizza could evoke a sense of hope, it's OTTO's. *Speaking of hope, I hope I can go to the beach and not be mistaken for a whale next summer. Depending on how my emotions/food consumption goes this winter, I may have to start ordering my food under my alias, Shamu. I mean, since Carlos Danger is already taken... First of all, there is nothing bad at OTTO's. Personally, I'm a fan of their pizzas without red sauce, just because I like some crisp to my crust. Plus, they have such great quality ingredients, why overshadow them? It's basically like a girl with too much makeup; cool it on the eyeliner, Becky. The mashed potato/bacon/scallion pie is kind of epic and signature, and when I'm having decision issues, that's my default. Let's be real....It's kind of common sense that 1) bacon is always the correct answer 2 ) Mashed potatoes? #praisebe 3) And scallion? ...there's my VEGETABLE. Aka, that means the whole pizza is healthy. Obvs. I could detail all of the many different pizzas I've tried from here, but why body shame myself even further. Dependable, finger lickin' good, slightly cheesy, smile inducing...all traits I love. And who knew I could order this to my doorstep with such ease? Additional points: -Online ordering= amazing for those of us who are hobbits. -The last time I ordered, my pizza literally came in 14 minutes. Sometimes I don't even come in 14 minutes. -Ive never had a delivery guy who wasn't extra pleasant and super friendly. read more

Not quite sure what happened to my visit here but really not the best experience at this location. Ordered a pizza and brought it home, the crust was burnt and had bits of charcoal pieces (see pic). Complete loss of appetite. Called the store and they gladly offered to replace the pizza at no charge and delivered. Upon receiving the second pizza, it was missing the pepperoni topping I ordered. Had to call again but somehow the person had a real nonchalant attitude...felt like it wasn't a big deal to them and they were even happy and quick to refund my card. I understand that issues may arise and challenges in quality but cmon guys, charging a $25 premium for a pie of pizza I would expect better quality control than dominoes or ceasars. Step up your game please. read more

OTTO - Pic as part of my review. - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

This location is so close to UNE! The thin crust pizzas are so crispy and delicious. My friend and I shared 2 pizzas: PULLED PORK & MANGO: sweet and savory. Who knew pairing fruit and protein on a pizza would taste so great! My friend was gushing over how happy she was to eat it! CHICKEN, CARAMELIZED PEARS & FONTINA: I really enjoyed the caramelized pears - you can really taste the pear slices and it smells wonderful too. This was less savory compared to the pulled pork but it was a nice balance to have alternating slices with the other pizza. They offer gift cards you can purchase - the more you spend, the more bonus $ you get. Absolutely worth it. Our server was nice and checked up on us about 3 times total. He also boxed up our left over pizza and divided an odd number evenly. See you again soon OTTO's! read more
