    I find myself passing through Portland International Airport more often than I probably should admit, and yet somehow there are still corners of this place I haven't explored. On this trip, with a little time to spare and no rush to run out the door, I finally checked one off the list Oven and Shaker. First thing that hits you is the space. It's big, open, and breathing easy none of that cramped airport chaos. You've got these wide windows letting the light pour in, planes rolling by in the distance, and for a moment you forget you're in a terminal. It's the kind of spot where you can actually sit back, take a breath, and enjoy where you're at. PDX has been stepping up its game, and this place is proof. I had a little time to kill waiting on my ride, so breakfast it was. Nothing fancy on paper just a simple plate but don't let that fool you. There was nothing "simple" about it once it hit the table. Everything was dialed in, from the flavor to the presentation. It's one of those meals where you take a bite and think, "Alright... somebody here cares." And the staff? Top notch. Friendly, attentive, and on it without hovering. In an airport, that kind of service stands out more than you'd think. They made the whole stop feel easy, like I wasn't just another traveler passing through. Between the view, the atmosphere, and the quality of the food, this place felt less like an airport pit stop and more like a destination. Clean, comfortable, and honestly kind of hard to leave. Five stars all day. Next time you've got a little extra time at PDX, do yourself a favor pull up a seat, look out those windows, and enjoy it.

    Oven Roasted Olives
    Lenea E.

    The negative reviews are so shocking to me because this place was great! We had a long wait in the PDX airport and Oven and Shaker was perfect! Their pearl pizza was great, not too heavy. We got their oven roasted olives and they were delicious on top of the toasted bread they gave us! 10/10. Service was fast and efficient. You can sit in a table and watch plane land and take off, which was great!!

    Quick bite until I can get back to the desert...

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, if you're wandering around PDX looking for someplace to feed yourself or have a drink or two, this is a good place to send some time and money, especially if you're on an expense account. LOCATION: Excellent C terminal location, Alaska. FACILITY: Pretty new, clean, nice tables with separations. MENU: Really good except the prices, but it is an airport so wadda ya expect. FOOD PREP: very good, I watch pizza being made, legit... Pizza for me, it was very good too big for one person so I shared. FOOD QUALITY: very good pizza, not The Hut. LIBATIONS: good drinks, WAITSTAFF: super nice people here. OVERALL VALUE: good value to PDX... TIP: don't be shy, these people get inundated at times so, be kind and they will be kind back.

    Wake me up mimosa..... terrible

    Keep walking to another spot in the airport! Service was nill, the caprese chicken was rubbery, and the drinks tasted terrible. We sat at one of the tables on the side, which has a qr code for ordering and no service until our drinks came up even though a waitress said she'd be right over. They hadn't even wiped it down. The meanwhile the tables Uber the canopy area got table service with water etc. Don't waste your time, especially since there are plenty other places to choose from.

    So there I was, a hungry man adrift in the damp gray purgatory of a Monday evening, dragging my bones through Portland International Airport in search of something warm and edible. My traveling companions and I had first tried our luck at Screen Door in Terminal B, a place where fried chicken and waffle dreams go to die. That misadventure is chronicled elsewhere. I have no interest in reliving it here. With our spirits half-sunk and bellies fully empty, we stumbled into Oven and Shaker, which was shining like a cozy little lighthouse on the rocky shores of the concourse. One waitress was running the entire place. One. From two in the afternoon until nine at night and still smiling like someone who had just discovered electricity. She was sharp, funny, and entirely unbothered by the absurdity of her situation. If you've ever tried to get service in an airport past dinnertime, you'll understand how rare and precious that is. We ordered via a QR code, like astronauts in a fast-casual dystopia, and our food arrived faster than expected. I had a grilled chicken caprese sandwich. It was not a life-changing experience but it was warm and well-balanced and tasted like someone had cooked it with intention. One friend ordered a salad and a mocktail. She is not easily impressed but declared both "actually really good," which in her native tongue means she'd eat them again. The third in our party went with the Pearl Pizza. A white pizza, no red sauce, all risk. In Portland of all places, where despite their well-earned reputation as a foodie's playground, pizza is often a tragic misunderstanding. She liked it. She really liked it. That alone earns a standing ovation from our Jersey-bred taste buds. The prices were suspiciously fair, which felt like a trick until we realized the trick was simply this: someone had cared enough to run a tight ship. Even in an airport. Four stars. But if you find yourself stranded near a gate with more time than hope, go to Oven and Shaker. You'll be fed. You'll be treated like a person. And in the sad zoo of airport dining, that's close to a miracle.

    Island Heatwave
    Rachel M.

    (3.5 stars) I usually go to the Oven and Shaker location in Lake Oswego that it was a nice surprise to see it at PDX. The Pearl is one of my all time favorite pizzas. Unfortunately, this airport version wasn't quite the same. The Pearl Pizza (3.5 stars) had the delicious lemon and garlic flavors that complemented fontina, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses. However, I missed the more generous portion of the fried sage. This one resembled small green confetti. I still enjoyed the flavors, but the crust was more chewy and not as memorable. I loved the Island Heatwave (4 stars) cocktail. It had tequila, passion fruit, jalapeño, lime juice, and a hibiscus lime salt rim. One drink was enough as I waited for my flight. The service was 4 stars, and I didn't wait too long after I ordered. My server was very nice and attentive. You can pay through the QR code on the receipt, which is convenient if you are on a time crunch. Even though I expected better pizza, I would return even if it's just for a drink.

    Mushroom pizza+ pepperoni
    Mary N.

    Oven Shaker has delicious food! I ordered the mushroom pizza and added pepperoni--honestly the best decision I've made all week. The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings were generous, and the size was perfect for sharing with one other person. The olives appetizer is to die for, but just a heads-up--it does have a spicy kick to it! The drinks were great too. I tried the Mistletoe Mayhem and loved it. Our server, Sara S., was amazing. Even during a busy shift, she handled everything like a pro--calm, professional, and fast. She was the highlight of our dining experience and absolutely deserves recognition. Highly recommend!

    Purple Caesar Salad
    Mary R.

    The service was prompt and friendly. We had cocktails in a shake and they were pretty good. The purple caesar salad was good as was the sausage pizza. The maple pig was too sweet for my spouse's taste but I enjoyed it. Its crust was past Neapolitan and was quite crisp. For airport dining, I have no complaints.

    A drink station

    The service this morning was the worst I have ever seen. To be fair the guy was alone but he didn't even make eye contact. Several people walked up got a seat, and left unacknowledged while we sat. So rude.

    To go pizza
    Ashley L.

    Located inside the airport past the security checkpoint. Great little spot located right after security for one of the terminals. They have a convent spot to the side of the hostess with a screen to place to go orders. We placed an order for two of their pizzas and they were ready in about 10-15 minutes later. The ingredients were fresh and a decent ratio to the size of the pizza with high quality ingredients and flavor. Even an hour or so later, once cold, the pizza was great. Seating at that time was seat yourself and the hostess/server extraordinaire was helpful to guide us to the to-go ordering.

    Chris L.

    Absolutely love this airport dining spot. Hand made pizza that has amazing flavor. Every time I fly through PDX I get the mushroom pizza and salad. So delicious and way beyond anything else I've had in an airport including Europe. Service is fast. Order by menu, QR code and pay at the table. Overheard so many people around me act surprised at the quality. Quiet and sunny ambiance make for a great experience. Best part...it's not airport pricey. WHAT??!! Yep!

    pepperoni pizza pieces
    Betsy B.

    We had extra time at the Portland airport and went here for lunch. The service was prompt. My daughter and I shared a pepperoni pizza and really liked it. It had a lot of parmesan cheese sprinkled over it. The crust was nice and the taste was good. I would definitely go there again.

    Oven and Shaker Restaurant from the outside.
    Karl L.

    I've always loved the downtown Oven & Shaker, especially for their fantastic cocktails, so I was honestly surprised and pretty excited to discover they now have a location at the airport. It's located right behind TSA and has an amazing view of the runway, which actually makes it a really nice place to sit for a bit and relax before a flight. Lesa, the bartender, was wonderful. Super engaging, very sincere and warm, and she makes a fantastic whiskey sour. You can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of people. The pizza was outstanding. Extremely fresh ingredients and perfectly baked. Exactly what you hope for from Oven & Shaker. There's still a little construction noise around the terminal right now, but honestly it didn't take away from the experience. Great cocktails, great pizza, great people, and a surprisingly relaxing airport spot. I'll definitely be back before my next flight. Tip: If you have a little extra time before boarding, grab a seat by the windows overlooking the runway. Watching the planes while having a cocktail is actually a pretty great way to start a trip.

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.

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.

    Tried Life of Pie Pizza on NW 23rd and went with the all-meat pizza…read more Loaded with toppings--pepperoni, sausage, and the works--this thing was definitely hearty. The crust had a nice chew with a bit of crisp on the edges, and the sauce balanced everything without getting lost under all the meat. It's a solid spot if you're craving a rich, filling pizza that doesn't hold back. Not light by any means, but that's kind of the point here. Good flavor, good portion, and hits best when you're hungry.

    My wife and I used to live down the street from this place for four years, so we've had many…read moreexperiences here. They charge a premium, but the food is consistently hit or miss. For example, when the Arugula Salad is made well, it is fantastic. However we have had repeated experiences where the greens are not fresh, or the dressing is forgotten, or there is no cheese. We have had repeated issues specifically with takeout orders, over many years. Additionally, if you dine-in, there is an entire bottle of oil on the table that you are encouraged to use on your pizza. It is delicious, and really completes the pizza flavor profile! They used to automatically include two small containers of oil per pizza if you ordered to-go. Current policy appears to be to not include any oil with the pizza (unless explicitly asked) and to only provide a maximum of two oils (even if multiple pizzas are ordered). I don't know if there is an oil shortage or what, but this is silly for a place that charges so much for their pizza. Life of Pie is a typical Portland restaurant that expects you to tip before you receive your food (and also expects you to bus your own table). To me, this expectation alongside with the inconsistency of the food for the price, is disappointing, and does not encourage people to go out of their way to return. When the food is good it is a solid place, however I would expect much more consistency for the price they command.
