I discovered something awesome about this location. Many many many moons ago when some friends lived in the apartments right behind this, they ordered pizzas from here. I think it was when they opened and were the only location. It was the most delicious pizza I had here because of the pizza combo which they now no longer carry. It was called the Gambereto and was no sauce, cheese, roasted sweet peppers, garlic cooked shrimp, feta, basil and roma tomatoes. It was so good but alas, I also liked their cheese a lot. So, they drop some pretty great coupons on you if you share your email - this month was $10 off a large cheese or pepperoni. I ordered online, used the coupon and picked it up on my way home because they are right off 26 and so easy to do just what I did. It was ready to go. piping hot and freaking delicious + $13! Even at full price though they are worth it. It really is one of the better pizza choices and a very easy spot to drop in and grab to go which is your option since they do not have tables and a space for you to hang out. read more

I love pizza and have tried pizza in many different cities known to deliver the best pizza. I'm eating a three because of how compassionate the associate was in saving a bug. It warmed my heart wholeheartedly. But the pizza was not one of the best, it was painful to eat on top of it being burnt during the rewarming process. All three pizza burnt The salad however was amazing, I was skeptical on it but it was so good. read more

Hadn't been to a pizzacato in a bazillion years, and decided to try this out yesterday as it's less than 2 miles from my house. I ordered the club Panini, and wow! I was prepared for a regular sandwich because I was in a hurry and hungry and oh boy was I wrong. The ciabatta bread was so soft and fresh! Apparently they get it from Lovejoy Bakers so that tells you a lot about the overall quality of ingredients they choose here. Beyond that, the basil aïoli was incredible and the provolone cheese was melted and gooey. Service was great! The gentleman working yesterday was friendly, attentive, and was even sharing some of his favorite menu items. Will definitely be back! read more

Great pizza, ok salads and not great service. It is a small shop for picking up a great pizza. Ignore the help and enjoy the pizza.

We ordered online and chose curbside pickup. This is as easy as it gets! I wanted it at a certain time so I chose order for later, 5pm. I listed the make, model, and color of my car and badda bing badda boom! They bring the pizza(s) to your car wearing a mask and gloves. Of course you should wear a mask too to receive it! My 4yo daughter in the backseat exclaimed, "that's huge!" We got an 18" cheese pizza and everyone kept asking where is this from?? It's so good. I'm a hero! Hooray Pizzicato!!! read more

Pizza is solid, however we had the worst customer experience I've ever had at a pizza store. We were waiting for our pizza to be made and the cashier asked us to wait in our car in order to not "fill up all the seats in the store." There was not a single other customer in the store and we weren't even eating there, just waiting for it to come out. He asked us to wait in our car on a 85 degree day rather than sit in the empty restaurant. What is the point of having seats if paying customers can't sit in the them? Never been more disrespected. read more

Super tasty pizza and only $4 for a slice of the March special. Very yummy 10/10. The workers are very nice dudes too and will let you wait outside or in your car and bring your pizza when it's ready. read more

This is probably one of the best thin crust pizza I had in a long time. I had one each of pepperoni and "the Stefan". Both were freaking delicious. Keep in mind this a small restaurant with very limited seating (5-6 bar style chairs). I thoroughly enjoyed eating here and took 2 more slices to go. Although a little pricey, they are totally worth it. The customer service was also good. read more

I love Pizzicato....seriously. Probably one of my favorite places to grab a quick slice or one of their delicious salads or panini's. Is any of it healthy!? HELL NO! But delicious?! HELLS YES! When you live on the west side there aren't always a ton of one off pizza shops to grab something unique. It's all chains out here and Pizzicato being the best of the chains I would say. They have great lunch specials and it's nice you can get some wine or beer with that slice. They are happy to make a pizza "your way" if you are buying a whole one. My faves include: Either the black forest ham or portobello panini's....seriously so, so good. As for pizza, the Quattro Formaggi, Puttanesca, and Rudy's pizza are absolutely delish! Have never had bad food here, never any bad service, it's always been quick and fresh. Can be a little on the spendy side to purchase a whole pizza, but it's well worth the $$ Oh yeah, and their breadsticks....YUM! P.S. They also have gluten free options! read more

Still love Pizzicato! But I have a new favorite, it's the Puttanesca! I lalalalaLOVE it. I'm also addicted to the arugula pear salad and it goes really well with the Puttanesca. Free delivery after 5pm. Not too shabby. read more

I think Marc started the first Pizzacato here. It was a small operation, dedicated to quality and refinement, a simple thing done well. A family member wanted to open a second location and the rest is history. Each of the other locations I've been to has the same dedication, great ingredients, including build your own options, even cheeseless. This location is very small, best for order and pick up (by phone is fine) or grab and go on the slices of the day. There are now other fancier options in Portland with atmosphere, and of course more inexpensive and heavier. Pizzacato is the spot for solid, tasty, healthy, and a great custom built pies at a good price. They also have a new gluten free crust, primarily cornmeal. Not my concern, but for some it's important. read more

I've been eating their pizza for years and it's only right I write a review. Love their pizza and love their employees! If you some deeeelicious Zaaaa this is the place to go read more

I went with the Very Veggie but I requested red sauce instead of the walnut pesto sauce that is listed on the menu. I was nervous because I am usually disappointed by sour red sauce on most American restaurant pizzas but this one did not disappoint. The veggies were fresh and I watched in awe as a Pizzicato associate named Andy hand sprinkled extra cheese and arugula on the pizza before he put it in the box. Andy didn't know I was watching him carefully add the sprinkles in a perfectly symmetrical manner. I find that most people in the food service world don't care about details these days -- but this is not the case with Pizzicato (Sylvan). I now want to return just to see how good their pesto sauce is! read more

Pizzicato makes the BEST pizza I've had anywhere in my 25 years in Portland. This location is pretty much take-out only with very limited seating. I'm here 2x/week for lunch. The pizza never disappoints. Crust is EXCELLENT (and I generally skip crusts) and toppings are really high-end, generally with an abundance of FRESH garlic (winner!). The staff is super friendly, very chill. Love Pizzicato!! Can you PLEASE open a store in Happy Valley? read more

I will never order from this place again. Bunch of kids running it on a Friday night. No idea what they are doing and it's total dysfunction going on. I showed up for my pizza when they said it should be ready, it wasn't. They said 3 more minutes, after 20 I asked what's up? They said we don't know where your pizza is, but we can start to make it now. WTF, so now it's 2 hours for a pickup pizza. read more

It's disappointing to have to write this review. My family's been going to this original Pizzicato location since they first got started back in 1989. Always been pleased with the quality and value ... but something has changed. As we've been doing for 25 years, we ordered a large 1/2 puttanesca, 1/2 pepperoni. The first thing I noticed upon picking up the box was that it was so light. I even opened it up to check before leaving the store, to make sure they hadn't accidentally put a small pizza in a large box. Nope ... just a super-thin $25 pizza with little cheese. For the first time in a quarter-century, we were all profoundly disappointed by Pizzicato's product ... and this was the first time we finished a large with no leftovers and still feeling hungry. Maybe it was a one-off thing -- perhaps the pizza cook was having a bad day -- but I sincerely hope they take note of this review from a long-time loyal customer and correct course soon. read more

This is definitely meant to be a place to stop on your way home via Hwy 26, just off of the Sylvan exit. The small space isn't designed for a sit-down meal, though they have a four-person (give or take) bar should you choose to get pizza by the slice. I got my medium combo in 10 minutes, much quicker than I usually get at their other locations (again, it's a quick-stop shop). They also have bottles of wine and beer for take-out only. Pizzicato is a bit more expensive than your average pizza joint, but the ingredients are of a higher quality than your typical national chain variety. If you need a pizza recommendation, then try the quattro formaggi w/ sausage and mushroom. Delicious! read more

I was pet sitting in the area and had not had time to go marketing yet. I was on my way to take care of a rambunctious 60 pound 6 month old puppy and knew I needed to have something in my tummy in order to deal with him the minute I stepped through the door so I stopped at Pizzicato and picked up two slices to go. I admit I ate one while sitting in my car in the parking lot and took the second slice home with me to enjoy after puppy time. The special that night had a type of Italian Salami, it was delish. The other slice was the Puttenesca, I highly recommend this pizza. While waiting for my slices to be heated to perfection a couple ordered a few slices of gluten free pizza, yep that is right, they will make you individual slices of Gluten free pizza, you don't have to order an entire pie, now that is amazing in my opinion. This place is for take out, not for dining in. read more

Pizza is bomb. Salads are bomb. Staff is a delight. Overall an excellent pizza joint. Employees treat you how you treat them. It's a simple concept some people seem to forget. read more

Perfect spot to run in and grab a Pizzicato pie to go for those folks on their way home to the burbs (this location is right off the Sylvan exit on Sunset Highway). Unlike other Pizzacato locations, this is more of a pick-up and go than a family-style restaurant where you can grab a seat and sit down. I have stopped in for a quick slice, but the space is so small you are lucky if you can find any seat at all. read more

The pizza here is top notch. Every month they have a special offer and/or featured pizza. Some good ones to try: Salsiccia Roma, Pepperoni (seriously, it's to die for), BBQ Chicken. Expect long wait times during peak hours - frequently 10-15 minutes longer than they estimate. Most of the time we call ahead and just go pick it up. Note that this location doesn't have a lot of seating. It's more of a takeout/delivery style set up. They have other locations (like the one in Beaverton) that are designed for dining. read more

*Slice Review* I want to note this is a review of warmed slices at the Sylvan Pizzicato location and NOT of an entire pizza. I eat at Pizzicato quite often but rarely at this location since it is not near my house. I found the slices here to be lacking in the normal excellent Pizzicato taste, though it certainly hit the spot during a late lunch on the run. The crust was crisp and perfectly done, but I did not get the tang of the sauce or the spice of the Pepperoni like I expect. The Puttanesca was pretty much the same...good, but not as good as normal. The location is very small and has just a few seats inside, so take out and delivery are a staple of the Sylvan Pizzicato. The cook/cashier was very nice and exhibited great customer service skills. They also compost their waste, including the food-based cutlery. Bravo! Unfortunately, I cannot give the slices more than 3 stars, but I would come back here again to try a takeout pie the next time I am in the Sylvan area. I'm hoping the full pizza will allow me to bring the review up to 4 stars. read more

eh. service was fair-- likecome out let's do the most minimal as possible. But I'm getting to understand that may be a West Coast thing? The pizzas just not that great. read more

Pizzicato is my go to neighborhood pizza delivery! They have a ton of vegetarian options, not to mention gluten-free and vegan too! It's definitely a crowd pleaser at our house. Delivery after 5pm is free! read more

UPDATE**I upgraded this store back to four stars because they seem to have resolved the cheese problem ** First off, Pizzicato is my favorite pizza of all. But I have to say I'm disappointed in this location. I go here often because it's right off the highway on the way home, but for the past few months I've noticed that the pizza barely has any cheese on it. At first I thought I just got a bad slice, but in every subsequent order the cheese has been sparse to nonexistent. I had company from out of town the other night so I ordered two large pizzas. I asked for extra cheese just to be safe. But when we started eating them one of my guests asked if that particular variety was supposed to come without cheese. We picked apart the toppings and managed to pull up a tiny string of mozzarella. Not only did they not add extra cheese, once again they barely used any cheese at all. If they don't correct this I'm afraid I'm going to have to cross the Sylvan store off my list. BTW, I got a slice at the Fremont store for lunch -- it had cheese on it! Delicious. read more

My family and I have been going to this location since it opened, but no more. Most of the guys who work there are jerks, but the big one is the grand poobah of them all. He is sarcastic, glib and exudes a feeling of disgust for his customers. These guys get so carried away with their cool conversations that they forget about the pizza in the oven. They burned my pizza again today, even though I was the only person there and about four or five were behind the counter. It happens, and but the really rude one showed me the pizza and joked "they're a little crispy." "Actually, no they're burnt." To which he replies, "WELL I'D EAT THEM!" I just said no thanks and could I have my money back. Got a mumbled "sorry" and I mumbled "whatever." I should have been meaner, because I'm sure as soon as I left, they were talking about what an old bitch I am. read more

Wow - could you be more rude? I don't think so. Good pizza (and it's just good, not great) doesn't make up for the most rude staff on earth. Oh, and they cannot seem to get an order right to save themselves. Ten years ago they rocked it on a regular basis. It's been declining for years - They think they own Portland Pizza - and with this attitude, they won't for long. read more

This location is the worst. There is no room to eat in and delivery is consistently an hour and thirty minutes. If it's not good for delivery, and it's not good for sit down, (Literally there at 4 bar stools to sit at. No tables.) then what is it good for? Oh yeah, and no parking either. Dobe with this location. read more

This particular location is my favorite because it is close to where I work. I love to order a half baked pie to bring home and enjoy for a quick dinner. (For those of you who are not familair with a half baked pie, it is simply a pie that has not been cooked to completion. You get to bring it home and cook it in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes so that it is hot & fresh ...works perfectly). The folks at Pizzicato on Sylvan are really friendly and always give extra stamps on my frequent slice card :D read more

No parking, no bathroom, there's like 5 stools, no room. Overly charged pizza for this small location and no amenities. Bullahit sitting outside in the hot heat & no bathroom. Go to subway aceoss the street. read more

I was very disappointing in this store tonight. I love pizzicato pizza and on many occasions I have walked from my house to get a slice or had it delivered with no problem. tonight they were disorganized to an extreme. I decided to pick up my pizza they said 40 minutes. When I got there (after 40 minutes) they told me it would be another 10-12 minutes. However I waited for about 20 minutes and finally after hearing that they had sent someone elses pizza out to another person asked about mine again. Turns out it was sitting on top of the oven the whole time. When I got home it was soggy. The person didn't even look for it after I paid and there was no system if I hadn't asked it would have sat there all night. read more

Good pizza. Grumpy hipster employees. But I go there when I'm in town for the pizza. It's really good pizza.

We were hosting my niece's party at the Portland Children's Museum today, and we ordered pizza from here. They delivered the pizza on time and everyone who attended was thrilled because they were all apparently huge fans of Pizzicato. We ordered the Cheese, Pepperoni and BBQ Chicken pizzas. The slices were huge and we had leftovers even though people had more than one slice. They also delivered napkins, plates, forks and knives even though we had our own Paw Patrol ones. The young lady who delivered the pizza was very professional and friendly. They are a little on the pricey side, but their service and quality of pizza is excellent. If you are considering throwing a party at the Children's Museum, I highly recommend using this place. read more

Usually I love this place, but when my dad and I went in to get a turkey sandwich, the girl at the counter asked her manager where the turkey was and he told her, bit she didn't bother getting it. We each had a small slice of turkey in our sandwiches, and it was mostly bread. Very disappointed. Not worth the price that day. read more

My go-to place for great pizza and salad. Lots of variety in pizza types, fresh ingredients, best ever Cesar salad dressing and I love their Asian salad too. read more

The pizza is delicious. The monthly special flavors are creative and amazing. The salads are generous. Staff is super nice. They mess up our order about half the time. I walk in to pick up a phones in order only to find they forgot to make it. Or we carry it home without checking it and find upon arrival that it's the wrong pizza. They're very nice about mix ups and are generous with the free pizza cards to make up for the mix ups. We keep coming back because the pizza is amazing, but if you are annoyed by things like mixed up orders and long waits, you should probably go somewhere else. read more
