    Caesar Chavez
    Mollee C.

    Hands down BEST Caesar Salad I have ever had. Definitely recommend getting the Caesar Chavez salad. The pizza was amazing as well... but this Salad, chef's kiss

    The Verde
    Rachel H.

    Super cute set up, there is plenty of seating at the bar outside and a fire pit right beside the shop. We tried the Verde and the Chorizo con Papas, Both were so balanced, and wonderful. Also, the crust was incredibly light and chewy. Very impressed! Service was kind and we will absolutely be back.

    Not sure what all the hype is on this place. I was really looking forward to trying this out because of the name and the high rating on yelp. Maybe most of reviewers were drunk from the neighboring bar. I don't want to sound too harsh but here's my experience. The place is small but we went early so it was not busy. I think we might have been the first customers of the day. The employee was nice and helped us decide on the pies were got. He said the hot honey was good on the pizza so we said we would try it. Little did we know we got charged $1.50 for it. I think if they are going to suggest something, they should warn you it's not free. The pizza came out in a reasonable time. The crust was overly burned on the bottom, middle was a bit thin. Toppings and crust were dry not much to enjoy. We paid for a side of ranch which looked homemade and tasted like sour cream with dill. Overall not the best pizza in town. I would suggest to skip this place, unless you're a few drinks in from Holy Ghost then I guess it wouldn't matter.

    Taco Tuesday pizza special
    Benjamin S.

    Great vibes and the pizzas are decent. What I like is the fresh ingredients but the crust is soggy in the center, so kind of like limp pizza. I went on a Tuesday night and had to try their "Taco Tuesday" special, and it really did taste like taco ingredients (ground beef, cheese and shredded lettuce) but on a pizza crust instead of tortilla. Not sure it was a success because I felt it needed a drizzle of some kind of sauce, but I give them credit for creativity. The pizza spot is tiny and you order and then you have the option of sitting in the patio with fireplaces or in the Holy Ghost bar. Great neighborhood spot and if you like tasty soft pizza crust, then that's what's served up here.

    El Chingon

    So dam good! Had the "El Chingon" and it had a burst of flavors! All mixing so well together. Must try!

    Chorizo con Papas
    William H.

    Pan con queso shares space with Holy Ghost brewery and 28 Tigers. The Pan con Queso spot is akin to a hole in the wall but all three businesses use a shared patio space. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We had the chorizo con papas pizza, and straight up, it was exactly that. I assume the other pizzas are just like they are advertised. I will come back and when I do, I will update this post

    Outside

    Pizza was thin and full of flavor, they had different types of pizzas and all of them look really good, me and my friends try 2 of them; El chingon and new pizza La hawaiana, both of them were pretty good. We also try their caesar salad, and omgggg it was so fresh, crunchy and full of flavor. Cashier/server was nice, we talk to him about different pizzas and gave us some recommendations. Ambience was nice, they have outdoor and indoor seating.

    El Chingon! Must try!
    Gavin J.

    For those seeking a creative twist on traditional pizza, Pan Con Queso delivers both in flavor and atmosphere. Their dedication to quality ingredients and innovative recipes makes it a must-visit spot in Portland's vibrant food scene. However, guests can enjoy their meals at outdoor picnic tables or take advantage of the adjacent Holy Ghost Bar's seating area. The friendly and accommodating staff enhance the overall dining experience. The pizzeria's crust is crafted from a multigrain sourdough, fermented over several days to achieve a chewy texture with a subtle tang. This foundation complements toppings such as cotija, cilantro, chipotle, and corn, resulting in flavorful combinations. Pictured is the pizza El Chingon!

    Menu 8/24
    Phil N.

    I recently started working in a new office, and with that came the excitement of exploring all the new dining options nearby and, of course, cross-referencing them on Yelp. One place, in particular, caught my eye: Pan Con Queso. I browsed their menu and immediately noticed a pizza named "El Kevin (McCallister)." I thought, "OMG, I have to go there ASAP!" (For reference, my social media handles are inspired by "Home Alone", which is one of my all-time favorite movies.) As I looked over the rest of the menu, I saw "El Chingon," a pepperoni and pineapple pizza with a Latin/Mexican flair. In my opinion, pepperoni and pineapple is a far superior and more underrated combination of toppings than the standard Hawaiian that everyone gets. Growing up, I thought I was the only one who loved this combo, but I later discovered that there is a small yet passionate and devoted fan base for it. IFKYK. I was torn between the two, but I knew I couldn't just add this place to my TDL, I had to go TODAY! I pulled up PCQ on Google Maps and headed there after work, only to find out they had moved locations. That didn't deter me, though, and I made my way to their current spot on SE Gladstone, which wasn't too far away. When I arrived, I was disappointed to learn they were out of pizza for the day. The staff was really friendly and told me that although it happens from time to time, it's pretty rare. I was let down, but I was determined not to let that ruin my day, so I made an effort to return the next day. I had a horrible day at work and in my personal life that day, and all I could think about was getting that pepperoni and pineapple pizza to cheer me up. I called ahead and showed up even earlier this time, only to be told again that they had sold out. They were deeply apologetic. At that point, I was facing some pretty devastating things in my personal life, along with a big health scare and not getting this pizza that I was so excited for 2 days straight really felt like those cartoons where the clouds would follow the character and just dump rain while everyone else is perfectly dry. Some time had passed, and I received a call from PCQ. They had somehow gone through the trouble of tracking down my phone number to tell me that my next pizza would be free of charge. That gesture was honestly the first bright spot I'd had all summer, and I was so grateful. I finally returned to PCQ about two months later and mentioned that I had been told my pizza would be comped. The two female staff members (Mikayla and Abby) lit up and replied, "Phil?" I was floored. I couldn't believe they remembered my name. Even before eating my food, I knew this was an experience I would treasure for years to come. (Food review on a subsequent visit)

    Chorizo pizza
    Mark H.

    Really wanted to like this place, but was disappointed . Crust a little too thin for the toppings. They loaded on the pepperoni, but ended up as a puddle of oil in the middle, cheap pepperoni ? On the other the chorizo was skimpy. But the pizza was flavorful. Probably won't return. I will say the service was friendly and quick, so if you're drinking at the attached bar, okay . But to take home, eh

    El chingon pizza !
    Karina A.

    We had the El Chingon pizza, it was one of the best pizzas we've ever had! We are only in Portland for a few days and definitely returning before catching our flight back home. We recommend it 110% !!

    Elote pizza
    Bexx K.

    Saw someone post a video about this place online and I immediately was very interested in going, so I knew that as soon as I could, I wanted to go and try it out. The front and the kitchen is very small. It was cold outside, so we sat inside Holy ghost, and we just hung out until our pizzas were done. We got an appetizer of the jardinera, and it was delicious. They have cactus cooler as a drink option, but they were out so we decided to get strawberry Fanta. we ordered three pizzas, so it took a little bit, but it was definitely worth the wait for sure. The crust was delicious, and had a depth of flavor regular pizza crust does not have. I ordered the elote pizza. My friend is a little less adventurous and he ordered the pepperoni pizza, and then my other friend ordered the chorizo y papas pizza. We all swapped a slice of our pizza so we could try all three and I was blown away with all the different flavors that where achieved on our pizzas. My pizza the elote pizza had a wonderful creamy sauce, pieces of corn, bright cilantro and a wonderful array of seasoned flavor that you can only achieve with the blend of elote ingredients. Even the pepperoni pizza was better because of the type of pepperoni that they use. And the sauce flavor was excellent. I don't usually like red sauce pizzas, but this pepperoni pizza still really good That chorizo pizza however, was so many layers and flavors and dimensions of taste. I could not believe my senses, the taste of the chorizo, the creamy of the potatoes, and the cilantro crema on top was so good. It reminded me of breakfast and away. It was spectacular! and nothing we ordered was overly spicy or too mild. If it was supposed to have a kick, it had a kick. We usually like Ranch with our pizzas so we ordered a couple ranches, and the cilantro crema dipping sauce. The sauces are made in house and the ranch was divine. Everything tasted really amazing and I can't wait to go back. Maybe one day the pizzas will come in different sizes, but for now a 12 inch pizza made with hard work and love, will be enough for me. I have no notes on the food because I was absolutely in love with it, but I was really looking forward to cactus cooler soda, and I wasn't expecting such a small store front, but since it is attached to Holy Ghost, there is outdoor seating with a fire pit, and you can sit inside holy ghost, so that was a definite plus, because when we walked up and saw that there wasn't much seating inside of the store we were kind of worried that we would have to sit outside in the cold, but the person who took our order told us we can be inside, but with the fire pit and the outdoor seating I can imagine this place being very popular since it's in a cool area.

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.

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.
