Margherita $13 (not $11 per website). Just ok. Lacked oomph. Flavor. Dough texture good.
Graciela C.

I'm a pizza aficionado and saw these gorgeous pizzas on Yelp and stopped by. I rate a good pizza place by their margheritas. Is the most basic pizza is good, everything should follow. The prices on their website says $11 but once I was there they list them at $13 which is very high for such small personal pizza. Overall. It was fine. The dough is perfectly cooked and chewy, slightly charred on the sides however it needed a tad of salt and that lil something something was missing. It also needed more tomato sauce and perhaps basil after cooking instead of cooked together. Not very memorable Overall ok pizza but lacked that oomph.

Five star wood fired pizza experience. I love wood fired pizza and this is one of the best -- or even the best - I've had anywhere in NYC, LA, Seattle or Tacoma. I had the Nonna and I don't doubt that the other pies are just as good. The dough was absolute chewy perfection with the lightest crisp of crust, the sauce was redolent of fresh fresh tomatos and the sharp herbal tang of the basil was so much more THERE than it usually is. I love basil and have always been puzzled why it's so easily overwhelmed on most pizzas. Pyro also serves fresh and sparkly tasting Portland sodas which are better than most. It's located at Cartopia on Hawthorne and is absolutely some of the best cart food I've had in Portland.

Margherita Pizza
Alex W.

Atmosphere: In the Cartopia food carts. There is ample seating and some nice fire pits here, as well as a bar where you can get some beers. One of the nicer food cart pods in Portland. Food: I find that many Neapolitan pizzas are fairly similar and hard to differentiate amongst each other. I thought this was a very good pizza which a nicely crisped crust and not too much crust (that is one issue I occasionally see with Neapolitan pizza). On taste alone, would definitely recommend. Price: I thought the price was standard for a personal-sized Margherita pizza. You can find them a little cheaper after town, but for a normal price this was a fair price. I felt full enough after eating. Service: Food truck so walk up to the counter to order and bus your own tables. Pizza took about 12 minutes to be ready. Parking: Street parking. It's not too difficult to find parking in the area.

Location: S.E. Hawthorne at S.E. 12th Ave

Really great pizza and a cute location, with multiple other vendors and types of food and drink in the adjoining businesses. Our pizza had a bit of burnt crust and I loved it! Probably could have used 1-2 more minutes bake for my particular taste, but very good tasting pizza.

Marinara pizza
Neha G.

Jan 18 2025 review: It was super cold and I got to try there Marinara pizza- amazing crust and wood fire taste. This place is located inside CARTOPIA which is basically a collection of food trucks. Plenty of seating options the best one are the group tables with firefit. You'll likely be sharing this so be ready for that. Getting a seating could be tough on weekend evenings.

Half Margarita and Half Fennel Sausage pizza!
Juhi J.

Talk about the perfect pie!! Impressed with the quality and awesome texture and flavor of their pizza. I loved the fast and friendly service along with the ability to do a half and half pizza so you could try two flavors! Sweet cart design and loved that they had cold water available from their drink station! One pie could be shared or just be the main meal for a single person! Priced right and a definite must try!

Pepperoni pizza
Victoria L.

Absolutely the best stone fire pizza in Portland. It is a food cart at Cartopia and worth the stop! They also make in house soda's that are to die for! Highly recommend the garlic bread and the margarita!

Margherita pizza ($13) - tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, olive oil
Clint B.

Located in the food truck park Cartopia, Pyro Pizza serves some stellar wood-fired pizzas. You'll find nothing but simple, fresh, high-quality ingredients in these pies. Both the Margherita and fennel sausage pizzas were fantastic with their soft, chewy, blistered crusts. Slightly more crispy than a typical Neapolitan pizza, but delicious none the less. And, don't forget to try their sodas. The strawberry lemon, in particular, was really good. Lots of covered seating, but I imagine this place gets busy during peak hours.

Veggie Bianca Pizza
Shanez S.

Hands down the best wood fired pizza I've ever had! I am not normally a big pizza crust person, but this crust was so light, fluffy, and flavorful that I ended up eating it first. Great vegetarian options and decent prices. The food cart pods share a patio that included three fire pits and a heated tent area, which kept us ridiculously warm on a 48 degree evening. We would definitely go back.

Quattro Formaggi Pizza
Joseph M.

I love this food pod, cartopia. And pyro pizza fits right in. First time customer and I am in love with the 4 cheese za. It was oil based with garlic and blue cheese amongst others. I had the craft sodas...meh. Two people working and gave us a beeper. Love the outdoor seating. With a breeze flowing through it felt like being back in the Caribbean, beach pizza and a beer. The place looked great and had a relaxed vibe.

Margherita
Danny L.

Drinks: - N/A Food: - The Fennel Sausage pizza is a must get. The dough for their pizza is so soft with a slight crunch from the charing. The crust was so good, I really liked how soft it was and easy it was to eat. I didn't feel like I was doing a jaw workout eating the crust - The Margherita pizza was okay, I couldn't taste the basil very much but the texture and quality of the pizza was there for sure Ambience: - In the back of the truck there's a big firebrick pizza oven which was cool to look at and watch the employees cooking the pizza in - The woodwork on the cart is aesthetically pleasing, something about it is just so eye catching and charming Overall: This is a must get if you're in Cartopia, the portion size is perfect for one person. DO NOT DO TAKEOUT FOR THIS PLACE, the pizza's here are best enjoyed fresh. Don't let the pizza sit for too long or else the moisture collects in the center of the pizza making it a little soggy, do yourself a favor and visit this place in person and each the pizza right away. You'll thank me later for this. If you are a pizza crust enjoyer like myself then these pizzas are for you. The actual part of the pizza with the toppings is one-bitable so if you're looking for lots of toppings then you might not be satisfied with the quantity of cheese, sauce, and toppings

Marinara pizza
Jennifer C.

The pizza has flavorful toppings and the dough is chewy, but the actual flavor of the dough was pretty bland. I got the marinara pizza which is tomato, garlic, basil and grana padano. The garlic flavor is prominent and I loved it. The tomato sauce has good flavor too. It really was just the dough that was the let down. Looks like only one guy is working there but he was churning them out. On a Saturday around 7 there was a decent amount of people and it took about 20 minutes for me to get the pizza. You need to wait close by because they just shout your name. They don't give you a beeper like many other places.

Arugula and Mushroom Pizza
Shih Fa K.

Ordered an Arugula and Mushroom Pizza: the crust was well-made, and the mushrooms were a good ingredient. The fresh arugula added a nice bitter flavor. I also tried the Portland Craft Soda that they had available: in my mind, the best flavors are Cucumber Lime and Basil Lime. Service was attentive. And the ambiance was a little food cart pod. I am still amazed that they were able to fit a wood-burning oven on a food cart.

One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

Friendly owners. Sizzling fresh food. Price was decent for a food cart serving seafood. I got the…read morelarge serving for $16 and that was a good choice. I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!
