Slice prices is better than some places in town. Slices are very thin and crisp which is great and reminiscent of some places in my hometown in New Jersey. Lot of potential here, but the underbelly was unfortunately still a little flimsy and despite an attempt at being crispy had too much flop and fall apart. Good potential, so/so execution. Probably more like a 3.5 read more

Pizza Jerk - Cheese Slice - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My boss keeps ordering this pizza. We ordered it because the office gal is vagen. but this is gotta be some of the worst pizza ever. Two times it was delivered and I couldn't eat it. I didn't want to complain to the boss and come across as unappreciative. So I'll leave my complaint here. Greasy soggy pizza. Nothing looks fresh. The combination pizza had a blue tint to it. No thank you. Next time I'll be sure to take pictures. read more

We ordered the eggplant Parmesan pizza, and it was good, but not great. I felt like it needed more cheese, but the breaded eggplant was cooked very well. I appreciate that they have parking spots available and a large dining area with tons of seating. We waited at the register to pick up while the worker stared at a computer for a ridiculously long time, I'm assuming looking at an order, but the lack of even a "hello, I'll be right with you" was very odd and not very welcoming. Given how many quality pizza spots there are in Portland, I will probably go elsewhere next time. read more

Pizza Jerk - 18" Thin Eggplant Parmigiana Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We ordered 2 pizzas. One was burnt and gross. The other was completely wrong. We called and they knowingly said they made the vegan pizza with real cheese and still sent it out. They remade the pizza and the new pizza was ridiculous. A burnt crust with hardly anything on it. This is the second time this has happened here. We are officially 0-2. If you want what you ordered -- I wouldn't go here! This Lovely Linda doesn't look so lovely. read more

Pizza Jerk - Lovely Linda. 2nd time ordered. Wrong both times. - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Service was super great. They treated everyone so nicely inside and the vibe was great ! However the pizza was average, IF that. About $4 for 1 slice. the crust was pretty hard. It was a thin slice and not fresh, it was premade and you could tell it's been sitting a while. Would not come here again. But thank you to the workers and staff, you guys were great!!! read more

Super delicious thin crust pizza. So many options! Love that they have something for everyone from meat to veggie to vegan.

The pizza here is incredibly delicious! The thin crust is crisp on the bottom but still chewy. The sauce is real pizza sauce not marinara or spaghetti sauce used in substitution. The building and interior are quintessential Portland. They even have a parking lot which makes it easier for disabled patrons. Go here and get some pizza. It's good! read more

Nothing great, nothing bad. Average pizza overall. The staff members were nice and the seating area was clean.

Service was friendly and it was quaint inside. I wanted to try because I liked the way the pepperonis have the upward curve. It looked visually appealing and it was alright pizza. The only downside in my opinion was the amount of grease. It's worth a gander for sure. read more

Working near by and lucky enough to have a great selection of food. Pizza it is and pizza it was. Lunch special for 9.50 you get two slices and soda. Pretty fair price these days. You may wonder why only 3 stars. Well I think pizza is one of those categories where a three star is pretty damn good. As a matter of fact it's good enough that I returned for a second time and will go back again. Also they have a ranch for .50 that I enjoy. I used to dip everything in ranch lol. Again I don't want the three stars to deter anyone. You absolutely should try it. I enjoyed every bit of it. I had the veggie and meat pizza for my first go around. My second time I had pepperoni. It had the cupped roni and some kinda of Hawaiian type pizza. Both were great. Anyways go check them out. read more

Ordered on doorcash -- which is always a perk! It took roughly an hour on a Friday night which is not surprising, and the pizza was still warm and very good. Door dash Brought one of the wrong pizzas so that was a bummer. We had a sausage pizza and a sausage and pepperoni pizza. (We didnt get a veggie pizza). Pizza was overall the 80-90s greasy pizza, thin crust. The kind where the grease drips off (minus a star for me). Tasty red sauce Not a lot of toppings or cheese. (Minus a star) Also the pizza is ~ 40$. While it was tasty - there are pizza places I personally enjoy more in Portland! I can see how this would be a 5/5 for some people though. Thanks! read more

Excellent atmosphere, great beer selection, friendly service, and thin crust pizza with a light crunch and fantastic chew.

A friend of mine gave me a slice of their eggplant parmigiana thin crust & it was amazing! This was day old pizza & the crust was still awesome! And fried eggplant?! So good! I will definitely be seeking out the fresh version of that delicious pie. read more

Amazing Detroit style pizza, Heater Allen on tap, and the thin crust js good as well.

Pizza Jerk is awesome! Read the great reviews so it went on my list to try. And it did not disappoint. I ordered half It's Always Sunny in Cully (add sausage) and half Clam Jam. The pizza was a little on the expensive side, but it was very large. Large enough for about three meals. I would never had thought to order clams on my pizza, but it was really delicious. You could hardly tell they were even on there. It was just buttery, garlicky goodness. The pizza is a New York style so it had a very thin crust. The crust was a bit floppy, even when folded, but it didn't bother me since it was so ding dang tasty! I would definitely get the clam jam again! The people working there were really welcoming and friendly. And the place gave off a super chill vibe and was really clean. read more

Not the cleanest place, but definitely has that hole-in-the-wall, I'm about to eat something really good vibe. Super laid back pizza place that will make you think of eating pizza as a kid in the 80s w/ red plastic cups, checkered vinyl tablecloths with rips & before California had so many rules for food establishments. You know...when things were fun! Employees sit on the counter, talk to their friends on the phone & one even rolled in & looked like he was still in pajamas/half asleep‍ But, this place is interesting! Lots of cool, vintage posters to look at while you wait. The Caesar salad is delicious (they have amazing house made dressings), served with a fresh lemon wedge & yummy croutons. We ordered the pizza with pepperoni, pineapple, peppers, basil & honey; ordered the ranch & truffle ranch for dipping. SOOOOO good! I noticed lots of people stopping in w/ kids just for the ice cream, so we got a giant spoonful to sample before heading out. Very creamy & good! We were too full, but would definitely come back & eat ice cream while we wait for our pizza I've been hearing about Pizza Jerk's Rice Krispie treats for years, so that was a must. I love the saltiness & butterscotch chips, but we can do better! It's definitely not chewy with the amount of marshmallow that really takes a Rice Krispie treat to the next level. I'd skip it & head straight for the soft serve. read more

This place reminds me of Sizzle Pie in a way except the music is way better... The atmosphere is relaxed with helpful staff that will engage with you even when they are busy. The decor is on the funky side. They have a decent selection of beer. In addition, they have thin pizza by the slice which is a huge plus, and they have vegan choices which is another plus... They pizza is not artesian style and tend to be on the thick side, but it is very good. There's a decent size private parking behind the building, so you don't have to waste time looking for a spot. read more

Served us a burnt pizza, I like char on my pizza but not burnt. Disappointing. Slices were better than spending the money for a pizza that should have never been served. read more

They have street parking outside and only open for "to-go" outdoors right now. No indoor dining! We called them ahead and ordered on the ph. They mentioned the pizza will be ready in 30 mins and we reached in 25 mins and it was already ready :) there is a Safeway grocery store nearby so we did our grocery shopping in those 25 mins. We ordered the "make your own pizza" with red sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushroom and jalapeno. The pizza was huge and could serve 4-5 ppl in my opinion. This was under $30!! I did find the pepperoni a lil on the salty side. They do give u chilli flakes, hot sauce and parmesan cheese so u can add those to lower the salt on the pepperoni. All in all, great value for your buck and NY style thin crust dripping pizza yum! #supportlocal read more

We saw an article on Tasting Table on the 20 best pizza places in Portland. Pizza Jerk was ranked #16. We tried the clam pizza. For those of you who are fans of Frank Pepe in New Haven, we found this to be a good recreation of their clam pizza. It had a lot of clams and heavy garlic, with a thin crust and a good amount of char. We did find the char to be a little light on the crust. And, like some other reviewers, we found the toppings to be a bit on the salty side and a little oily. The crust was crispy, but the shell near the center of the pizza was a little soggier than we would have preferred. The servers were friendly and our pizza arrived within around 15 minutes from the time we ordered. It was $30 for an 18" thin crust pizza and $9 for a salad. Overall, it was a pretty good pizza. We're looking forward to trying the other pizza establishments on the list. read more

Pizza looked good, but what we came for on a recent sunny afternoon was soft serve ice-cream. Casual pizza joint where you order at the counter and they'll bring your food out to you. Booths and tables inside their greenhouse-like establishment, or plenty of covered outdoor picnic tables out back if you don't mind sharing the space with a sea of roaring children. Maybe there were multiple birthday parties going on, or maybe this is just a popular family spot. I don't have the answer to that. We sat outdoors for a few minutes until we were confident that our ice-creams wouldn't topple, then we took it to the streets. They offer the classics, chocolate and vanilla, but also fun flavors like peach, pumpkin, maple, and birthday cake, among others. If you're sticking around for food, they also have margaritas and beers. Might help drown out the kiddos. read more

Great NYC style pizza . Sauce has good flavor and they use high quality ingredients. The staff and pizza makers are very kind souls . I would recommend grabbing a slice ! read more

Pizza Jerk - 18" Thin Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I just got grifted with the most mediocre cheese pizza of my life. I ordered an '18" Thin White Pie' that supposedly came with fresh mozzarella, basil, chili flakes, garlic, and ricotta. Instead what I got was some Wish.com version that was missing all of the toppings because there wasn't any basil, chili flakes, garlic, or ricotta to speak of. I'm no genius, but I know a motherhugging cheese pizza when I see one. I was hungry and trying to be a good sport, so I dove in anyway. Let me tell you, I'm not even picky about pizza, but eating this thing was like eating an oily rubber disc. Also, the names! Do you think I can tell anyone that I got a sad "thin white pie" from "Pizza Jerk" and keep a straight face? I cannot. read more

Pizza Jerk - Sad and oily. - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Picked up a pizza here over the weekend and it didn't disappoint! I hadn't tried Pizza Jerk before this and I thought it was really good. You can't go inside but they have a pick-up window right next to their parking lot. I ordered a thin crust pepperoni pizza, a pint of their truffle ranch, and some raw pizza dough to make my own pizza sometime this week. I thought everything was super delicious! The crust was thin and crispy. They don't add *too much* cheese which is always great in my book. Sauce was tasty. The star of the show is definitely the truffle ranch. I saw it on the menu and almost just got a small side of it, but opted for the pint and it's seriously good. read more

Pizza is not bad, nothing to write home about, crust was sort of hard. Staff is very nice.

It's been an annoying week in our household. My husband ordered Pizza Jerk delivery as a pick-me-up. He chose a pepperoni pizza, and one that had pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, and other toppings. And I have to say, Grrrr. The taste/toppings were delicious. But the centers of the pizzas were soft and undercooked to the point that they fell apart when we tried to separate the slices. Even our leftovers, which had gone through a round in our air-fryer toaster oven, were still soggy at the ends. Grrrr. At this price point, I expect better. read more

Oh Pizza Jerk~ Honey on a Pizza, now I get why there is honey packets at some Pie Shops... Damn, took decades to have my eyes open. Came here for pizza Week, Oh boy which location... I think Both... Maybe one.. Oh snap well I will review both, I don't want them to get short changed on this review of excellence!! Start from the background.. Pizza week is big for me, so I went to about 15 places this year, and maybe a dozen or more each year the past couple years... Clout level 10,000, just saying. This was one of the first slices, and wow it was great, their idea of a crust, is spot on, their sauces, oh wow.. amazing much? What about the cheese, amazing for the shredded variety (I like a clump personally) and the toppings were fresh as my Adidas Track Suit... The spicy honey was just perfect, i have no idea that this would set the bar so high for the rest of the week... So for the places that got 3 and 4 stars... blame ya bois herr @ Pizza Jerk! read more

I love it when its good but sometimes, and lately The pizza was WAY over salty. It was so salty I couldn't eat more than one slice. Pizza Jerk, I love your pies, but please easy on the friggin salt.. You're going to chase my business away.. (for the record, I asked you to go easy on the salt when I ordered). Please Jesus read this review management. read more

I'm a native NYer and I don't usually eat pizza outside of my home state for good reasons. This slice was really good and was the most like NY that I could remember since leaving. Thin crust - yes! Pulling cheese - yes! Bubbly & slightly charred crust - yes! and most importantly a perfectly orange oily drip - YES! Don't look for poofy crust, this isn't it. Nor is it saucy or deep dish. On this slice you taste the cheese and a little touch of the crust char from the oven - YUM! For my NY Style pie or by the slice it's the Pizza Jerk for me! read more

I've eaten here by-the-slice, in the restaurant pre-Covid, whole pies, and takeout over the years, and while the pined-out interior has an odd bit of nostalgia, the pies are often salty, oily and pretty average. Sure they use the smaller pepperoni rounds that look cute, but also curl up to hold tons of grease. The crust is pretty decent, crispy on the outside with a nice chew in the inside, but often flops out in the center. I do like their sauce, which is nice and tomato-y with just the right texture (not too pasty, not too chunky). The deep-dish is pretty solid if that's your style, but there's better in town. A few of my friends think this is the best 'za around, but I think they've only ever had pizza from a couple spots. PJ is ok but far from the top of my list of any style in PDX. read more

I found this place on a youtube video. I always bookmark places I may want to check out if Im ever in the area. We ordered a slice of cheese, pepperoni and 2 sodas, not bad for $11. Their pizza is thin New York Style Pizza that had a great flavor! Was sooooo good, we wished that we each got 2 slices, but we were already too far. If we are in the area again, we will definitely come back read more

Pizza Jerk is a good local pizza spot with a homey feel. It is a great option if you would like to feed a group with unique pizza topping combinations. We shared an 18" thin crust that was half White Pie and half It's Always Sunny in Cully. I took off 2 stars because I was not as fond of their pizza. I found the White Pie to be quite salty. The It's Always Sunny in Cully was very oily, but had good flavor. I would try the 12" Thicker Crusted pizza next to around. We also ordered a margarita slushee which was delicious and filled to the brim! It was a very refreshing pairing to our pizza. Pizza Jerk also offers soft serve with fun syrup flavors. We tried the pistachio and pineapple soft served, both were yummy! They have a parking lot that can fit approximately 8 cars in front of the ordering window and street parking. They have an outdoor patio with picnic tables. We were able to find a table immediately after ordering. We were even able to bring our dog along! I would come back to Pizza Jerk, but next time maybe only for a slice and an ice cream cone. read more

Great place for pizza! Great place for lunch! We went here on a team lunch and ordered a few pies. I finally had a chance to try their cast iron pizza, which was fantastic. We also ordered the special - Sausage 2.0 which had Old Salt pepperoni, OP cotto salami, sopresseta, bunk hot peppers, and truffles ricotta. This was a great choice! The other pizza we got was the chicken parmagiana, which was also good. The wait here was not long as you order at the counter and they will bring the food out. Our cashier/ waitress was super nice and friendly. Also, they have soft serve to end it off with! read more

Ordered it via door dash. Took about an hour on a sat night.. pizza shows up warm and delicious. The cheese half for the kids was really good. Pepperoni one was a little greasy to the point it was dripping off the slice. Kinda gross. But still ate it lol. Docked a star cuz 1 pizza is $40. That's out of this world but had to try it. I'd eat it again but not worth 4x dominos pizza read more

The pizza is sooo good but you *Really* gotta like KIDS a whole lot to have a tolerable eating experience on site. Think kids running rampant, screaming and shreaking, blocking the already narrow pathways, sticking their dirty paws on your pizza (wish I was joking), while parents are paying zero attention to their crotch goblins terrorizing other patrons. Next time I'm getting takeout. Also minor irritation, the only menu is on a giant backboard and you can't see it unless you're right up next to it, the color of the marker makes it unreadable. read more

Hungry as hell. Friend ordered from here.. got delivery...shit was mushy, crust in tack but limp as a noodle.. hot no. But if it was not mushy it would be great.. isn't the top of the pizza suppose to be crisp and with cheese. This had none.. of that. .. ick i would mot order again read more
