When I think of a great food experience, I think of Crust Collective. My husband digs the beers,…read morebut I'm in it for the gluten-free deep dish pizza. I love that you can get traditional pizza toppings or creative combinations. The flavor of the pizza is amazing and I have heard that the gluten free crust is considered better than the regular by some people. This location gets busy, so if you can swing an early dinner or a meal at a slightly off time, your wait to sit will be shorter. We came in a bit before 5 when the patio seating was open and got to sit right away. When they are busy, you might wait a bit for food, but the servers are friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered the "something marvelous" (bbq chicken) and a pepperoni pizza (because kids) for our pizza. We also got the beets and burrata salad to start. This was more than enough food and we always take leftovers home. The weather was nice on the patio and you can see the waterfront and river from your seats. We've been here before. We will be back. I hope the Cuban style pizza makes it back on the menu...pizza with pulled pork and pickles? Yes!

We ate at Ruse Brewing on our way down to Portland for the weekend. This was a beautiful day on the…read morewaterfront and there was no wait at 7PM on a Friday night, which we found surprising given how almost every restaurant on the street seemed to be full. We were told it would be a 20 to 25 minute wait for our pizza (I had to ask - the server didn't volunteer this information). It actually took 30. Dini Broccolini ($16) - We ordered this as an app. The dish includes a thick romesco sauce spread along the bottom of the plate. It's served cold and it's quite nutty (walnuts?) and peppery with a strong tangy umami. It's chunky with lots of small pieces blended in. On top of the romesco are three slices of crostini that are much thicker than average. They are completely dried out and crunchy like croutons. They salt the bread a ton; it's salty enough that my mouth felt like it was burning. The only warm thing on the dish is the broccolini, which is baked rather than charred. The texture is great and the seasoning level is perfect. On top of the veggies, they sprinkle pecorino and and breadcrumbs, for additional saltiness, umami, and a bit of crunch. (4/5) Now onto the pizza. Taken from another of my reviews: there are several characteristics that define Detroit-style. Firstly, the base must be a thinner and chewier focaccia dough-like crust, pillowy on the interior and with a crispness on the bottom and sides that are somewhat greasy but not overladen*. There must be flavorful Wisconsin brick cheese (or blend), buttery and fatty, melted on top and spread until it spills over the sides of the crust, creating a crisp caramelized frico ring surrounding the pie. The pepperoni must be underneath the cheese**, and the flavorful tomato sauce, typically in several wide lines, is spread atop the cheese. There must not be too many toppings to prevent the crust from compressing and ruining the texture. *Note 1: The fat/grease is very important, both to allow the crust to crisp up and to act as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess. **Note 2: This is the one trait I dislike since it makes the pepperoni limp and soaked with grease. Dial 'P' for Pepperoni ($26) - As always, I start with the base pepperoni pizza, the most classical Detroit-style pizza. The pizzas here are standard 4-square size (8in x 10in), cut into 6 pieces. Pricing is pretty expensive for this size - I'm used to 8-square (10in x 14in) pricing being around this much. Starting with the base crust - it's pretty good. It's crisp but not overly greasy, thinner and a little collapsed in the area with toppings, but still light and airy without being dense. It's super bubbly from frying in high heat and the crumb, especially towards the sides, looks great. It has a tasty buttery fried flavor. The cheese frico on the sides is underwhelming. While crisp, it's a little collapsed and flattened rather than having lacy, thin, uneven tops as with a great Detroit-style pizza. The bake on the pizza is also uneven, with one side much darker than the other. The darker side unfortunately burns the frico, which gives an unpleasant acridity on one end. On top, they add an appropriate amount of mild mozzarella. It's enough to give a slightly cheesy stretch, but isn't enough to feel overly heavy or rich. They then place pepperoni on top, which cups and crisps up. Again, they don't overload the pizza, so while salty, it's not overwhelmingly so like several other Detroit-style pizzas I've eaten recently. This all makes a pizza that give a really balanced bite. Unfortunately the sauce here is a miss. It's ridiculously tangy and acidic to start with somewhat of a metallic kind of flavor. It then descends into a really heavy overly concentrated flavor of dried Italian herbs. It's incredibly overwhelming, like they wanted to completely cover up the taste of bad quality canned tomatoes* but failed. The dried herbs are followed up with a slight heat that warms the mouth, probably from red pepper flakes mixed in. On each slice of pizza, they place a giant spoonful of sauce, which is unfortunate given that I didn't enjoy the sauce. I think they should revisit their tomato sauce recipe. It's one of the worst Ive had in a while. Luckily, it's not a huge part of the pizza. (3.5/5) Overall the pizzas have some major weaknesses. My review reads very critical, but I think the pizzas are still quite tasty and will satisfy most people. Still, I personally wouldn't return given the better options for Detroit-style pizza across the river. *Note: They use Valoroso canned tomatoes from Stanislaus, which is a company many places in Detroit also use. I doubt the quality of the tomatoes are actually bad. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

((((Preface: As a former business owner myself the manager (or shift leader) would have been fired on the spot (and I would have taken over the operations for the night) after witnessing this overt abuse of position. She looked in our direction multiple times and it was CLEAR that the store was very busy and that the cashier needed help)))) My first time at any Panera. From the moment I walked in I knew who the Manager was. She was at the sandwich station talking and having fun with fellow employees (and ALL the attention was focused on HER). Meanwhile there were about 10-12 waiting Customers (gamestorm convention traffic) and ONE REGISTER OPEN (while more and more people walking in every few minutes). Meanwhile Gabriel, very nice and doing her best was ALONE at the register with 4-6 employees in the back LAUGHING and CHATTING and obviously paying homage to the person who holds influence over there pay-rate and job who enjoys a SHOW rather than EFFICIENCY and Customer satisfaction. {{{One register open with a FULL LINE and many employees in the back is indicative of a manager who PURPOSELY bottle necks the Output so that she can give the impression of Hard Work but in reality she is carrying on a social event disguised as Customer Service.}}} As I was observing this behavior another customer OPENLY and not Quietly stated "Look at them, literally doing nothing just talking". This carried on for less than a minute until (manager included) they attempted to continue preparing orders. And even as they began preparing orders (after visiting and having fun) they were still VISITING (and one couple flirting), and laughing, and carrying on as if they were EMPTY and about to close. After my order was finally taken I entered the eating area. There were Multiple (empty) Dirty Tables with FOOD, TRASH, and other debris as well as food and trash on the ground. NO ONE attempted to clear the tables, clean the floor, or restock (empty napkins) the ENTIRE time we were eating. Also, I was ignored by the young male with glasses when I asked for his assistance as we were preparing to leave (he looked right at me and kept walking). I saw clearly that this store is run by a person who cares more about IMAGE (and being liked by employees) rather than ACTUAL Customer Service. And as a result it is a FACT that her employees are being taught to follow the same blue print And cuz I know what you are thinking I DONT WANT ANYTHING FREE. I am very financially stable. DO NOT OFFER ME ANYTHING at all because won't accept it. I don't even accept discounts at ANY stores when they offer (after good service). I am certain that Panera has MUCH BETTER Establishments, however this one in Jantzen Beach will NOT get one more penny from me until she is fired and or quits. p.s. This is the first time i have left a review on yelp, however, this experience at Panera warranted me making a review even as I am supporting a company I do not like. That is how awful my experience was. read more

Imagine how excited I was to find one inside Portland International Airport. The best part? I still remembered my order without even looking at the menu. A Big Wreck on multigrain with everything on it and extra hot peppers. One bite and it brought back so many memories. The bread still has that nice chewy texture, the meats are warm and satisfying, and the extra hot peppers with the pickled carrots add that crunchy, tangy kick that I always loved. It's messy in the best way and every bite has a little bit of everything. Airport food is usually something you settle for, but this was the meal I was actually hoping to find.
