Delivered ice cold and full on burned pizzas. To add, the sesame ginger "chop" salad was barely cut and had giant pieces of romaine, which is far from what the salad is supposed to be. I have been coming to pizzizicato for years, but it had been a while. Very disappointing. read more

Pizzicato Pizza - Mt. Tabor - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My partner was looking around at food and came across a pizza he just had to have. The Thai pizza caught his eye, but once I looked I was all in too. I decided I wanted to see their super large pizza and was glad I went with it. For the price might as well go up in size. We had just returned from vacation and I knew I needed some veggies in my life and ordered a salad as well. For the price I figured we could share the salad. Actually, it could serve 4, and we ate it twice that day/night. Plenty of toppings and even had little bread. The pizza was amazing. So much flavor! I'm definitely going to be back. read more

Excellent Food. Ready on time for take out. Delicious!! Even the salad with the dressing on the side was rich in greens and savory. read more

I'm going with 3 stars on this place for takeout. The location is extremely convenient to me and the staff working there was very friendly. I ordered a gluten free pizza online and an order of breadsticks. The quattro formaggio sausage and mushrooms pizza was quite tasty, and the gf crust was nice and thin/crispy. The mozzarella filled breadsticks were not good. They were soggy and d the marinara was served cold. I'd pass. I would have given a higher rating for the pizza but my order for pickup was $40 and the pizza was quite small. It was good, just not a good value. read more

Pizzicato is a gem. This location is an awesome neighborhood pizza joint for South Tabor. I have a few friends from out of town that rant and rave about Pizzicato all the time and it's the first place they want to stop. It's been such a staple in Portland Metro for so long I think it goes under the radar - being lowkey one of the best all around pizza spots in town. Great Salads, great pizzas, paninis, specials, and good price comparatively. The team at this location has been awesome every time I stop in. They often have my online pick-up orders ready early too! read more

Had a nice vegan pizza, served (pretty promptly) at the table, counter person complimented my earrings, has parking, comfortable booths, nothing to complain about. read more

I ordered a small putanesca and a medium pepperoni pizza for pick up. I even left a 20% tip. The order was confirmed via email. I went to pick it up, the counter person confirmed my name and handed me two pizza boxes. When I arrived home I discovered they gave me a small putanesca as I ordered, and a medium very veggie pizza. I abhor veggie pizza, so no dinner for me. Thanks puzzacato, I won't be back. read more

Not sure who else really enjoys listening to death metal while trying to enjoy a meal. Because that's what's playing at this very moment as I'm waiting to get my food. Background music should be pleasant and quiet not somebody screaming at the top of their lungs. read more

Horrible worthless crap 4 dollars for this worthless slice with nearly half the slice being bread bubble with nothing on it and the rest being barely any cheese or sauce. probably the worst pizza i ever had in my life even my dog wouldn't eat it. This is what happens when you have 30 year olds with no motivation but to smoke weed all day running the location read more

Pizzicato Pizza - Mt. Tabor - Worthless cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've had so many pizzas here that I could write a book--so many that my go-to now is often the pizza of the month. Otherwise, it's the Wild Mushroom, the Puttanesca, or the Margherita. The best pizza they've ever had, however, is no longer on the menu, and it's a real shame. It was called The Rudy, and it had amazing lamb sausage, caramelized onions, mascarpone & green onion on a garlic/olive oil base (I would give five stars if it were still on the menu). It was perfection and still haunts me. Pizzicato uses a corn meal dusting that's just right for the medium-to-thin crust crunch, if you're a fan of the dust. Their best sides, IMO, are the (often available) Harissa Roasted Carrots, the Arugula Pear Salad, the Radicchio & Hazelnut, and the Chinese Chop (the Caesar is too garlicky in a not good way, and I like garlic). read more

After coming to Pizzicato since they opened their doors, I had an appalling experience this evening that really has me floored. My husband and I frequently get salads on Friday night at Pizzicato because they're delicious. I get the Greek salad and he gets the arugula pear with the unsugared walnuts. When we called to place the order my husband asked if they had regular walnuts and was told they did not. We picked up the salads, got home, put them in a bowl and all of the walnuts were black, burnt, bitter and inedible. He was going to try to eat it, but after the first bite, he said it he couldn't do it. So I call and tell them that I'm bringing the salad back and again asked if they have unsugared walnuts and again was told no. I get there and there's a different person at the counter (not the woman who took our order) so I show him the salad and the blackened walnuts and ask if they are shipped that way to the store. No they're not, and would I like plain walnuts? So I said, "then you lied about not having them?" Things really unraveled after that. Four people got into the discussion where they explain to me that the previous general manager who is no longer there as of 2 days ago told them to tell customers they only have candied nuts, I say, "But he's not here now." Then, they explain, well, they thought it was just a corporate policy so they were sticking to it. To me, the worst thing is that they put burnt walnuts on a salad and served it to a customer. Then, when the customer tells them it's inedible and brings it back, they don't offer to refund it, LIKE ANY OTHER RESTAURANT WOULD DO. Not only did they not offer a credit, the manager tried to gaslight me saying the nuts were not black lumps of carbon--they were normal. It was a scene out of a Coen Bros movie. To their credit, they remade the salad, but after they doubled down on defending their bleeping nuts, I said I didn't want it, I just wanted my money back. The manager told me no, I couldn't have a credit because I called them a liar, and I just needed to leave with my salad. (I didn't call them a liar, I pointed out they were lying, which, although they were, was an inflammatory observation). I repeated that I didn't want the salad, I wanted my money back, and she said that I had to go or she was calling the "non emergency police." That wasn't much of a threat, and we had a couple more rounds of her pushing the salad at me and me telling her no, I want a refund. Finally, she said she'd give me my money back, but "you'll be 86d, and you can't come here anymore." There were so many things I could've said to that, but I thanked her and left with my credit. After recounting this whole thing to my friend, she observed that these employees aren't trained or paid enough to know how to handle customer issues. Which is probably true. It was Karen of me to get into the integrity issues with them. If I had simply walked in, declined plain walnuts, and asked for a refund, they might have given it to me. But I've been 86d, so we'll never have the opportunity to find out. read more

Their pizza is yummy but the margherita pizza is kind of a scam. Usually margherita has san marzano tomato base with slices of fresh mozzarella and basil but theirs just has slices of regular tomato and a dusting of shredded mozzarella, and basil, reminiscent of a white pizza but not as good. It would be less of an annoying if their pizza wasn't so freaking expensive. It's disappointing when you think you are splurging on something nice and it feels like they cut corners. But gluten free crust is 5/5 and employees are really nice. read more

Been coming here the last 5 years when in town visiting. Always a super cool crew with good service and killer food. Try their seasonal specials. Thank you Mt.Tabor Pizzicato! :) read more

3.5 stars, but I rounded up because the service was friendly. Pizzicato Pizza is a typical pizza place where you can order slices of the pizzas they offer that day or you can order a whole pizza off their menu. Along with pizza, they have sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Food: All of the slices were good sized portions and on thin crust. Cheese Pizza - This was pretty standard pizza. Veggie Pizza - standard, but I felt like I could have had more toppings Pizzicato Breadsticks - This appetizer was really good. It was full of cheese. It looks like it was baked as one really long breadstick that is then cut to slices after it is done baking. I would recommend this for sure. The pizza sauce it came with to dip was also good. Service: The guy behind the counter was super nice. It was towards the end of the day, and he gave my friend a free cookie. When one of our slices of pizza was taking longer to come out, he went to see what had happened. It looked like his coworker took it by accident. He gave us an extra free slice to make up for the wait on the one slice. When we were looking at what slices were available, he came over to tell us there were also slices in the back that we can order. Those pizzas had just come out of the oven so they weren't out in the display just yet. TL;DR - pretty standard pizza place with super friendly service read more

I was a little hesitant to order pizza from Pizzicato, as we have a handful of our favorite places in town and usually have that in rotation, but a friend of mine mentioned that this was one of their favorite pizza joints in town. I placed my order over the phone and was given a time of 30 minutes. I drove over and it was hot fresh and ready to go. They have a little parking lot, which is why I chose the Mt.Tabor location over Laurelhurst or Sellwood. We got the Thai Peanut on one half, and the other the Very Veggie. The Very Veggie was a veggie delight with toppings galore: mushrooms, artichokes, olives, tomatoes, and roasted veggies. If you like a smorgasbord of veggies on your pizza, then you'll like Pizzicato's veggie pizza. A couple of my favorite pizza restaurants in town, usually only have a handful of toppings, it's nice to be able to have a salad on top of my pizza if I want one. The emphasis at Pizzicato is toppings! + Friendly staff that helped answer my questions. read more

Well as the word is spreading Portland has now been rated the best place to eat pizza even over the Big Apple - NY ! Wow so I tried Pizzicato and as a former NYer from back in "My Yute" for all the my cousin vinny fans, I have to say their pizza was really great . We had their sausage combo pie and the crust, sauce and combo of flavors was scrumptious. Portland and Pizzicato are definitely giving NY and run for the #1 spot. Check them out you won't be disappointed Bon Appetite Ronn just Ronn The whole in the wall food guy read more

I like Pizzicato pizza but last time I ordered from this location, it occurred to me to get the asparagus appetizer...what a crazy idea! Got in time to pickup my order pizza was ready to go but had to wait 30minutes for the asparagus unbelievable! The staff was aloof and didn't seem to care. Won't order again from this location read more

Food was good. $80 meal. Ordered at the counter, tipped 15% and waitress made scene to waive me down to bus my own table as we left. I guess I need to adjust my service expectations. read more

Overall great pizza with the following attributes: *Delicious high quality gourmet toppings (try the mushrooms) *Chewy crust (avoid this place if you dont like that) *Cheese with an awesome mouthfeel. (That's right, MOUTHFEEL) *Sauces that are balanced perfectly with the toppings, *And fresh herbs that deliver a lot of flavor. *The parking lot is tiny though so get ready for some pre-meal tetris. It's worth it. read more

Pizzicato Pizza - Mt. Tabor - Lunch - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Ok this is an easy review, it writes itself (see picture) When I get up to counter guy and ask for two slices cooked extra because every time I come in they are under cooked like raw dough and melted cheese, he says sure thing. He was super nice... However every single time I get slices from here they never fail to be almost completely raw. Super lame Pizzicato, super lame. I'm done. read more

Pizzicato Pizza - Mt. Tabor - Raw dough, cheese barely melted, just always under cooked every time I come in and ask for them to cook it a bit longer. Super frustrating. - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I haven't hopped on the Pizzicato bandwagon ever, despite a growing presence throughout Portland and now northern California (whoa!). There might be some subtle bias with being around New York pizza so often, but when there is fresh ingredients, thin slices and a good variety of toppings, one will ultimately find something they like here. The pizzas might be the star of the show, though I've yet to fall in love with any of them. Many folks have touted the Puttanesca ($26 Large) as their favorite, but the artichokes and olives haven't tasted as wonderful as they look. I also have similar results from the Molto Carne ($26 Large), which featured a hearty portion of pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and olives, but was largely bland for every bite. There was some high hopes with the Kale and Italian Sausage ($27 Large), but the flavors just weren't potent enough to elicit much fanfare on my end. That said, I'm glad they offer an interesting mix of topping combos, including a nice array of vegan options as well. Salads and paninis have been a different story however. At a little over $8 each, the paninis are served in a fluffy ciabatta bread that works as the perfect lunch when served fresh. The Grinder (ham, pepperoni, bacon, provolone, peppers) gets a thumbs up, as does the The Club (chicken, bacon, avocado, ripe tomato, mayo, provolone). When they come with a side salad, the Arugula Pear and Kale Feta have easily emerged as standouts from the rest of the leafy pack. The staff is understandably young, even if a bit hipster, but super friendly. While they haven't been as spot on as I had hoped for the pizza recommendations, they've certainly made up for it with stellar work and infectious amiability. This aspect alone is enough to warrant many return visits. read more

Love it! The mushroom pizza especially is the best! There is something for everyone. The salads are delicious too!

I am a pizza lover. However, I recently eliminated dairy from my diet, and finding a good pizza with dairy-free cheese is a struggle. Pizzicato's dairy-free cheese is fantastic. Not to mention the pizza overall was terrific. I will come here again. read more

Friendly enough staff. Great lunch special (Slice of pizza and a HUGE portion of salad). Love that I can choose any of their salads to eat with the lunch special. They make the salad fresh so don't expect it to be at your table right away. 5 - 10 min wait. I've also had their sandwiches and I enjoy them. Good flavor combos and are a "small lunch" size. Iced tea is funny. read more

Not my favorite experience. Knowing that I was in a very celiac unsafe space, I simply asked if they would change their gloves. I got back an honest response but also snarky. "There's gluten flying everywhere in there so..." just change your gloves. That's all I asked. When they brought me my food, they didn't even look at me--just handed me my food and walked away. That's not how anyone in the rest of my party was treated and we all took notice to it. I felt like I was a. Inconvenience which sucked. My food was great though! I probably won't go to this location again. read more

Yes, it is expensive but totally worth it. I've been going here for years and they've never got an order wrong. Lots of delicious and unique options too. They are also the best place fore takeout, always reliable and the food is still super good (unlike other places where the food is worse in takeout). read more
