Had the lunch special for $9.99. Huge piece of pizza and a huge delicious salad with the goat cheese! Lots of goodies. Only negative was the place was very chilly and was told it gets too warm in the kitchen so we have to stay bundled up. read more

‼Excellent pizzas and the Pinini. Great customer friendly service. Prices are seasonal too. Nice safe , clean friendly area too. read more

I'm disappointed it wasn't cooked enough and the toppings were only in the center. It was a very dry 2+" pizza crust. If I had known the toppings were provided only on the inner section, I could have ordered the 12" pizza a saved $$. I suggest adding sauce, this was way dry thru the inner pieces and needed to be put back in the oven to cook read more

My go-to is a slice and a salad. There's a rotation of seasonal slices like sausage & chanterelle, or you can just get OG's like pepperoni or cheese. Even though the pizza is good, ironically my favorite thing at Pizzicato is the salads! Especially the Caesar salad. It's always SO crunchy & fresh. It comes with a thin baked cheesy cracker-crouton thing that's perfect and the dressing is to-die-for. It's lemony and punchy... just the way Caesar should be. Honestly you should probably get an extra one to dip the crust. Super yummy spot if you're in this neighborhood looking for a bite! read more

I love Pizzicato! They are close to my office and we often go for lunch. The pizza special is always great, it's your choice of a slice and a salad. The salads are killer good: chopped Chinese salad with peanut dressing, pear and argula salad with candied walnuts, Caesar salad, yummmm.... I also love their club panini, which is like a super delicious version of a club sandwich, and also comes with a side salad. They've had an August and September special of an Italian Cobb salad, which is amazing. It looks like a work of art, with chicken, bacon, greens, chickpeas, parmesan and more. My friend got the special of the Fresca pizza and it also looked great. I'm semi-sensitive to gluten (haha, I know) and their gluten free pizza is also great, I especially love the Thai chicken pizza, a flavor bomb! The ambiance is casual and service is always excellent. read more

Hello All! Welcome back to Portland Pizza Taste Test! #6 is Pizzicato in the Pearl! Had a lovely chat with the worker! Ordered one cheese slice and one Puttanesca Verde slice which had: a Garlic Olive Oil Base, Castelvetrano Olives, Chevre, Roasted Tomatoes, Fennel, Roasted Garlic, Parmesan and Basil sat at a lovely low bar looking towards the street and they have their flavors as movie posters! and total came to $9 the cheese had great sauce/cheese/crust ratio and was thin crust, not too thin! very buttery flavor! the puttanesca verde slice was a little chewier with the dough and im not complaining! the toppings were SO refreshing! loved the roasted tomato chèvre combo! pricing was fair for big slices and great service! overall i am giving this one a solid 8/10 read more

There freshly made whole pie is some of the best I've had in PDX. Crunchy and crusty base while still retaining some chewiness. The dough also delivered a lot of flavors which is one of the biggest sign of good fermentation to me. It was a bit of a wait for our large 1/2 and 1/2 pie of Thai Peanut and Hot Honey but I'll wait as long as I need to for something as delicious as the pie we got! The toppings were super fresh and plentiful. I think they strike a good balance of being artisanal and creative with their pies while giving their customer a good bang for their buck; what's not to love about that. Juicy chicken thigh pieces on the Thai Chicken. Lots of cured meats and veggies on the Hot Honey. And plenty of herbs on both giving them unique flavors. Already ready to try out their other combos. I'll definitely be frequenting this spot. Especially on a sunny day, you can order takeout from them and have a little picnic at the Fields Park next door. read more

Pizzicato Pearl - Large Thai Chicken and Hot Honey - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great and reliable pizza spot in Portland! I've only been to this location, but I am aware that there are multiple locations in Portland of Pizzicato. They offer a variety of pizzas (that you can buy by the slice or whole), specials, sandwiches, and more! Every time I've stopped by here, there often isn't many people so service is fast. You order at the counter and go sit down, then when your pizza is done, they bring it out for you! I've tried a number of different pizzas and I think they're all great. I love how the crust is on the thinner side and each pizza is unique in how they match the toppings. read more

It was pretty good we got it for a work meeting and I enjoyed it. I'm not sure what vegan cheese/sauce they use but there was something white and creamy that was tasty on the pizza that I enjoyed. It was a good easy vegan pizza no complaints. read more

Pizzacati is a solid place for slices. I like this location in the pearl. Next to the fields and tea bar, along the streetcar line and there always seems to have street parking. I like to work here and enjoy the free WiFi and a slice. Staff is super friendly and it's never very crowded read more

I really wanted to like this spot but there was one major issue for me. The flavor of the pizza was really good and promising but the texture just couldn't be overlooked. The crust was unfortunately soggy to the point that it was challenging to even pick up a slice. The reason I've rated 3 stars was that the gluten free pizza was actually quite good. I've tried many gluten free crusts and this one was pretty darn good comparatively. I recommend this place if you cannot eat gluten but assuming you are not gluten free it left a lot to be desired. read more

We are in Portland for our nieces graduation from Lewis and Clark. She recommended this place since we couldn't get into another place that planned to go to nearby. We were so happy that happened because we may never have come here. We ordered a cheese pizza, pepperoni supreme. Also had the green goddess salad and the arugula and pear salad. So delicious...everything!! When here again, we'll be back. read more

I happened upon this little jewel of a pizzaria while visiting the city for work. Immaculately clean!.. soft, pleasant music in the background; outdoor seating and a wonderful staff! I enjoyed their daily lunch special of a slice and salad ($8) !! There are several selections to choose from and I chose the arugula pear salad brimming with candied walnuts and just the perfect amount of dressing. I paired that with a putanesca slice which includes artichoke hearts, tomatoes, kalamata olives, garlic and feta cheese. The crust was thin and crispy and the topping fresh and vibrant.. (see photo). This place is a keeper!.. read more

Pizzicato Pearl - $8 Lunch Special: slice and salad - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Consistently good pizza and salads. The slice & salad promo for lunch is great and a good value.

I've been to this specific Pizzicato location twice. The service has been phenomenal both times. Today I had a slice of pizza with fresh cherry tomatoes, balsamic dressing, and fresh mozzarella cheese. The flavors were harmonious and well thought out. I also had corn that came with cheese and lime. My mom had breadsticks. I would happily patron this location in the future when I want a light lunch. read more

This location just needs to close, two nights ago called for dinner but they closed early. Tonight they have no cheese or pepperoni slices at 6:00 pm? Why be open just to tarnish the reputation and consistency that this local once Holy Grail of pizza establishment in PDX has built. read more

All bundled up with tobogan hats, gloves and scarfs we walked in a rare PDX snow flurry over to Pizzacato located in the tallest high rise (Cosmopolitan) in the Pearl District. It is also between two great walking parks, Tanner Springs and Fields Neighborhood Park. Inside and outside seating along the "street-scenic" wooden boardwalk creates a convivial space for a meet up for pizza, brew and chit-chat. We enjoyed the space as well as the pizza. We made it just in time for happy hour (2-5 PM) to try the pizza slice special with a craft brew on tap--beer and slice for $6.95. It is a great value. But I am less impressed with value and more impressed with quality. The pizza is very good. Baked on a pizza stone. It passed my crunch test. Nice crust! Good crunch! Not overcooked! Not soggy! Generous tasty toppings! And a Boneyard IPA for us! Now for quality: Pizza dough is hand tossed fresh daily using dough supplied by Grain Craft Flour Mills, Pendleton, Oregon. They source local wheat and sustainable ingredients. The conglomerate of companies has roots back to 1910. Going on the web, they are committed to the environment by minimizing their environmental footprint and conserving natural resources. Grains are processed with recycling, local power efficiency, motion lights and wheat grower education. Grains are moved maximizing rail and truck capacity--I like companies that care--cuz I care too--so I take time to know where my food comes from and support companies who care and support local farmers. Good taste! Good value! Good quality! We'll be back before the next snow flurry! read more

Pizza was better than expected. Flavors were strong. Lots of toppings. The toppings were high quality. Dough was slightly undercooked, but that's a personal preference. The pizza wasn't perfect and it's not close to the best ever, but for pearl selections, it's very very solid. Would recommend. read more

I love going to Pizzacato! They're a solid pizza spot. I like getting their slices cause they're huge and the topics taste fresh! I also really like their arugula pear salad which consist of arugula, mixed greens, pears, Gorgonzola, candied walnuts, and balsamic dressing. Another one of my favorites is their breadsticks! They are filled with mozzarella and have great bread to cheese ratio and it's just amazing with the marinara sauce. If you're ever craving pizza and want a solid spot to go to, I would look I to Pizzacato! read more

Pizzicato used to be a reliable pizza go to, but it's quality has rapidly been declining. I ordered their January 2021 special panini and it looked nothing like the photo. Here I was preparing myself for sandwich nirvana when an anemic airplane quality roll with a touch of toppings showed up. I emailed corporate and heard nothing. Disappointed that the food wasn't as advertised and dually disappointed that they no longer seem to care. read more

Great pizza and great salads. As this place is just across the street from where I live I go there frequently, especially for lunches on the weekends. There is outside seating available. The service is friendly and the food is good. The lunch special is less than nine bucks for a slice of pizza and an accompanying salad. A great place to grab a quick good lunch. read more

I absolutely LOVE Pizzacato, but this location fell short for me. We ordered two pies and a medium salad. The total was $52 (not bad for 5 people). The salad came out and was as expected. Our pizzas came out and the crust was soggy, maybe not cooked enough?? They were understaffed so everything took longer than anticipated. I'm ok with waiting if the food is worth the wait, but this food wasn't. Too bad because it's a fun location. read more

Always fresh and tasty with great salads too. Always stop here for lunch near a playground and near Powell's what more can you desire?

The Al Greco is amazing. If you have initial reservations upon reading the ingredients, be assured I did as well. Give it a shot and you won't be let down (make sure you get the tzatziki sauce it comes with). Also Ben who works here is amazing. Thank you Ben. read more

We visit Portland often and we used to enjoy coming to Pizzicato. Not anymore, especially after our experience last night. We ordered pizza to go, one of them being gluten-free. The order taker was well aware that I needed a GF pizza because we discussed the specific limitations of GF offerings. Upon returning home with the pizza I realized it wasn't gluten-free. The meal ruined and uneatable, the whole experience of getting a refund was made worse. Justin the manager talked over me entire time I try to explain what happened telling me that he wouldn't listen to anybody that was disparaging one of his employees. Don't bother eating here. Not worth dealing with stupidity and arrogance. read more

I got a small pepperoni with mushroom and onion. The pizza had an additional herb blend on top that was unique. The small is definitely a good size for one person. The menu had a few interesting additions, like the all veggie that I'll try next time. They do have a gluten free option. read more

Pizza was meh. Workers were super rude and short with us. We felt rushed to order even though nobody was behind us.

Great pizza spot if you are in the Pearl District. My kids rated crust 10/10 and cheese part 9/10. They are 6 and 10 but super picky, so I think it's high praise. My wife got a bbq chicken pizza and she is dairy free and loved it. Great pizza & great sidewalk seating read more

If you value crispiness in your pizza then Pizzicato pearl is for you. Too many places these days over saturate their pies in sauce (hot lips, naughty) leading to a soggy endeavor. I've enjoyed this location a few times now, & each time it hasn't disappointed. I can't speak for the quality of all locations but this one seems to have a higher standard. Their slices are reasonably priced too, so it won't break the bank. They have an assortment of wines and beer, as well as patio seating. Their specialty puttanesca slices are full of enticing flavor, each bite left me wanting more. The pepperoni is hard to stray away from, however. I shall return in a fortnight. Buona sera pizzicato. read more

I came here very excited to try the October seasonal pizza (maple bacon apple walnut) on a day where half the restaurant was closed off for a wedding. There were maybe 50 other people and I thought "oh no, service will be terrible." I was so wrong. Salad and pizza came out in less time than expected, our picky requests were remembered and met, and the staff checked in to make sure everything was going well. I am always a fan of the pizza and salads, but I give 5 stars for exceptional service on what looked like a chaotic day. read more

Not sure about the bad reviews, we've ordered pickup from here about 4-5 times and it's been a great experience every time. During COVID we have been doing pickup, and it's always a seamless process. Short wait times, easy pick up, and delicious pizza. I would recommend the bbq or Thai chicken pizza. The bread sticks are on point as well. read more
