Ugh, this pizza is so good and it is dangerous working next door. The boys here are always making me crazy delicious concoctions, but everything off the menu I've tried is so incredibly delicious! I think my favorite is the margherita pizza. Try it, you'll be surprised it's from a food cart! read more

Portland has about 500 food carts. This one is an example of gourmet quality food coming from something on wheels. Fast, tasty, cheap. Wood fires like camp fires, cover a multitude of sins. In the case of pizza, it produces a crunchy on the outside, and perfect on the inside crust without drying out the toppings. Pyro's dough itself is neither too sweet, nor salty. We got the roasted tomato, fresh tomato, omitting the cheese and they substituted at no charge caramelized onions. Running a production kitchen in a trailer, you are front of the house and back in under 15 square feet, but they were patient, polite, helpful and jovial while we adjusted the order. They were patient too in describing the ingredients in the options we questioned. In these situations, with fires and close kitchen quarters, a hungry crowd, these cart pros could have become snippy and frazzled. They were just the opposite. They offered their drink options (more on that later), but weren't insistent or pressing. We didn't feel like a fit initially with their drinks, so they matched us to another cart based on our vague and wandering description powered by famished delirium of what we were envisioning to drink. (?!% hey, envisioning to drink - help me lexicographers!) They are enjoying what they are doing. The pizza was perfect. We devoured some other cart items, then got serious about hydration. Pyro brews their own, non-high-fructose corn syrup fountain drinks. With some food in stomach and clearer mind, We returned to Pyro for drinks. We had mint lemonade and ginger brew, they have others, and the selections rotate. I think it was $2, ice or no, with one 50 cent refill. Not too sweet. Perfect! Thanks Pyro! read more

Best pizza I have had in my life! The people who work there are super chill. It's just a small little cart in a great pod. The crust is the perfect charcoal crunch and flavor! read more

This place isn't the best pizza I've ever had and it's it not even close to the worst. It's good pizza. Yummy toppings, the sausage is so delicious. We had a Caesar salad and it was just Meh. The soda is the coolest thing. Fun flavors (Sarsaparilla/vanilla Cream/Cherry/Rootbeer) and all local Portland soda! If your there and you want pizza, it's a good option. I would not go just to have the pizza though. read more

Of all the food trucks in the area, I decided that I wanted to try Pyro Pizza as many Yelpers proclaimed it the best pizza in Portland. If Pyro is the best pizza in Portland, I'll eat my hat. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the margharita was pretty mediocre. The crust was certainly thin, but it was pretty burnt. I understand that is the norm with wood fired pizza, but even the basil was burnt to a crisp. I do think it's cool they were able to get a wood fired oven in the truck, but with so many other options, I think I'd recommend passing on this one. read more

HOly crap. Simple organic pizzas made-to-order from a lovely food cart, with some nutritional yeast and chili pepper to sprinkle on to your liking. We got a margherita, it was like $7, and fucking delicious. read more

This is one of those unbelievable pizza places. From first bite to last the pizzas were great. Had the spinach mushroom pie and it was one of the best I have had. Good balance of flavors, taste of mozzarella shining through and a fabulous crust. The ambiance and seating made for a great experience as well. Good seating, fires to warm you up, some covered seating etc.. Parking is a bit of challenge and you will have to cruise up and down the road to find spots, but we got lucky on a side street. Will seek this place out next time I am in Portland and craving pizza. read more

I think I can safely say this is the best pizza I've ever had from a food truck, cart, stand or pod. The sausage & fennel ($9) is just plain amazing. I don't know how they crammed that pizza oven in there, but it's working some serious culinary magic. As if that wasn't enough, the soda fountain is also pretty cool; it's a bunch of organic flavors that are all super interesting - organic cola, cherry phosphate, organic ginger - and they pair extremely well. I'm talking organic cherry cola here, people. If you're famished, you can probably take down a whole pie yourself, but otherwise it's fine to split between two people. Worst case, you can grab dessert from the crepe truck across from Pyro. :-) read more

This place is great. I usually swing by after work for a "quick" but DELICIOUS bite. Anything you get from these guys is amazing. Their food is prepared so fresh and everything taste delicious. Customer service is awesome and they all take pride in what they do and in their craft! Thank you! read more

The prices here are pretty good and the pizza comes out fresh and wonderful. Sometimes i forget what a fresh pizza actually tastes like. It is like a work of art you can chew. Came here late and I really like the vibe of this place at that time. Usually it looks a little sad by daylight but at night there are a lot of people and everyone is having a good time munching on the various carts. The marg pizza was $7 and had a great thin crust which actually had flavor. What a surprise! I was a tad disappointed with the sauce as it was a bit to sweet for me to call it perfect but it was really close. I know I will cross paths with this cart again. FYI even after hours you can't park in the nearby lot. They will tow you fast. I saw it happen to one guy and I felt really bad for him. read more

Came late at night hankering for some pizza, was not aware this place was a food cart pod but nonetheless ordered. The guy and girl working that night were super nice, I asked if I could do half and half and the guy said sure as long as what I ordered had the same sauce base. I waited about 8 mins and the pizza came in a nice compact box which was piping hot. It was so good I gulped it down before pics (it was that serious) my mom approved and she is very picky. This place surprised me, I think it's way better than some other popular pizza joints. The crust is thin yet chewy and crunchy, the sauces made each bite juicy; toppings did not lack anything - this was pizza harmony. I shall return during the day time! read more

I loooove me some Pyro Pizza! I'm not even really into pizza, but I can't help but fantasize about their ooey-gooey cheese, their crisp wood-fired crust, and their delicious fresh toppings. Other good things: The price is right for what you get, I've shared a pizza with my daughter (she's 13) and we had plenty. They seem to be pretty reliable as far as hours and availability go. Also, the staff have always been really friendly. I love that they built a wood-fired pizza oven in a food cart! I also love that they're brave enough to man that thing even during the hottest days of summer. Rock on Pyro Pizza! read more

Love their pizza and haven't been in a while. Signage and web says hours 11 -10 on Wednesdays. Arrived at 4:30 ish and sign on the counter said be back at 5:00. Decided to wait as pizza is worth it. Waited until 5:25 and gave up as no one showed up to open as promised. So disappointing and frustrating that something so easy as showing up when promised can't be honored!. Drove 30 minutes to get there! read more

This is a really great pizza place, I definitely recommend trying them. It's this tiny wooden food cart with a pizza oven inside it where they make to order every pizza. Some of their more interesting flavor combos are especially good, but I simply went for pepperoni since everybody else on my group got the more interesting ones. It's not the most amazing pizza in the world but it's still damn damn good. Far greater quality than any chain of course and I think it's most notable in their quality of ingredients. Everything was very flavorful and fresh tasting and I ended the meal very impressed with the place. It's also great since it's surrounded by other food carts, if you don't want pizza or you have some picky esters, they can find something else without going any further than a few steps. read more

Fresh ingredients and soft chewy dough. They don't do slices, but why would you want a slice when you can get an individual 12 inch pizza?!!!??!11!! You'll want more than a slice, anyhow. Friendly staff. They accept card ($10 min.) and they make their own sodas. We always make it a point to stop here when visiting Portland. We'll be regulars once we move here :) read more

I should've taken a picture of the pizza. But from my first glance of it, I knew it wasn't going to be a good one. I ordered the white truffle pizza while my friend ordered the pepperoni. There was a HUGE crust bubble on mine that took over almost a third of the pizza and none of the cheese stuck there. To add insult to injury, one side of it was charred too. My friend's pepperoni looked better, but they are both were underwhelming. From reading the raves reviews, perhaps my experience was unique. But at the very least, I can say that they're not consistent. Perhaps it really depends on who you have cooking behind the counter. read more

Some dang good food cart pizza. The Margherita Pizza is the only one I've had, but it's really good. Beyond just being good, it's a great price at only $7. Beware the Caesar salad, though... it's got a lotta anchovy flavor going on. Way too much. read more

Next to Potato Champion. They make fresh, hot out of a wood-fired oven. The wood-fired oven gives the pizza a unique taste and an amazing crust. We got the pepperoni one and it was really good but nothing amazing. The crispy crust and smoky flavor is definitely a hit. Next time, I should try their sodas! read more

Pyro Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Question: Who says, "let me pit a brick wood fire oven in this food cart"?! Answer: A GENIUS! The Food: Incredible! ultra thin crust pizza dough, fresh local ingredients, and a blazing hot wood fire oven [in a food cart] is a formula for delicious! They pull their own mozzarella everyday and offer classic pizzas as well as seasonal new favorites. I tried the Pepperoni (made with local Pepperoni from Otto's Sausages [just around the corner]), The Margharita, and a Sausage and mushroom...all three were unbelievable. This is probably the best pizza I've had outside of Lombardi's in SoHo (Coal Fired since ca1904). They also make their own sodas here. I had a Hibiscus soda that was uniquely tasty...you'll want to try what ever flavors they have that day! The Service: Made to order so expect to wait a few minutes but the freshness is worth your time. The Atmosphere: I say again, Brick Pizza oven in a food truck...open till 3am! read more

Excellent wood fired pizza. Made exactly as it should be, and reasonably priced. One pizza and one of their salads is a perfect meal for 2. Their salads are actually worth it too. Score that it's usually open until at least 3am too. I only wish they had a few more varieties and veg options. read more

Awesome wood fired grill pizza. I am surprised I had not tried this pizza before. We had the fennel sausage pizza with some basil on it. We love thin crusts and wood fired grills, so the pizza crust was one of the best ones we have had recently. The pizza was not too heavy but still very tasty, and it was gone in no time. Homemade sodas: this place has wonderful homemade sodas, and you can taste all of them before you can choose which one you want. I loved the ginger ale and the lime one. But they also have vanilla and cola with other herbs in it. Definitely worth a try. We will be going back for more for sure. read more

I was thrown off by their website saying they open at 11:30 am so had to wait today. Ate some other items from the other carts while waiting but the pizza was worth the wait. I just wish they would add prosciutto to the menu so I could have a real Italian pizza. The Margarita pizza is very good and it is amazing they can have such good crust from a food cart and for only $7. All the covered seating in this pod is definitely a plus!! read more

We stopped by Cartopia after a few hours at OMSI. We were hungry and craving pizza and maybe poutine. The menu here is pretty simple, a handful of pizzas with various delicious toppings. Over half of the truck is dedicated to a giant wood burning pizza oven, which is really neat. The night we visited there were 2 guys running the truck and at one point they had to stop taking orders because they were pretty swamped. We went with the pepperoni and the mushroom spinach. The guy warned us that it would be about 25 minutes, which was fine considering we were going to have poutine as an appetizer from the truck next door. After about 25 minutes they called us over to pick up our pizzas. The pepperoni was good and the meat had a little bit of heat to it. I liked the meat, but I wouldn't necessarily think of it as pepperoni, it was interesting. I moved on to the mushroom spinach, which I barely got a piece of because my 2 year old ate 4 pieces of it! It was covered in mushrooms that were super tasty and had a ton of spinach on top. The spinach was fresh and hadn't been cooked. I wish it had at least been put in the oven for a few minutes because it was just too much on top. The dough was great, a little charred on the outside, but really good. I was impressed with the quality considering it came from a truck! I know a few people have complained about the service, but we had a great experience. The guy at the counter was personable and friendly. I know where I'll be coming next time I have a pizza craving! read more

Delicious, hot, crusty pizza in the perfect personal size. I've tried a few different pies and the only thing I haven't enjoyed is the pepperoni. Just not a huge fan of the flavor and spice on the slices. read more

This is a review by a vegetarian Now that's what I'm talkin' bout: really good food from a cart at a good value. A personal sized margherita for $7 that can stand up to Appiza. 4.5 stars for quality (doesn't quite answer that eternal question of when to put on the basil, this was a little burnt) and the round-up for outstanding value. read more

Went here on a whim since we realized that even though we go to Cartopia often (mostly for poutine), we've never tried Pyro Pizza. We've heard good things about this cart too, so why not! We got the margherita pizza and it is seriously one of the best pizzas I've had in Portland. The crust was perfectly crisp on the outside, but still nice and chewy. Not too crisp, not too tough, just right. The mozzarella was rich, cheesy, and fresh. The sauce was perfect. It had the perfect balance of tangy and herby and deliciousness. It was just a pretty effin' good pizza. Kinda kicking myself for not trying this cart soon enough. I'm glad we finally did though! read more

My sister suggested checking this place out while in Portland. Got the Margherita Pizza and it was delicious! They use fresh, local ingredients and the pizza dough was cooked perfectly. I like thin pizzas too. The sell pies whole, no slices, but it was a perfect size to share with my boyfriend. Homemade sodas made with cane sugar and I tried their Apple Cider and it was good. Can't go wrong with a pie for under $10 (and accept CC). Check their hours as they didn't open 'til 5pm (Thursday is when I went). read more

They gave our pizza away by accident, but they were quite apologetic and nice about it. The crust is exceptional - not gonna lie. I think the sauce needs a little refinement. Ingredients are great, though. The ADD Bacon and ADHD Spinach quips were hilarious. And they, too, have a fancy soda fountain! I doubt I'll ever use that coupon they gave me, but I'll probably be back if I ever visit Portland in the future. read more

My favorite pizza in all of portland. The margherita is so solid and perfect and hard to want to share (because come on, 1 person could definitely eat one of these pizzas to themselves if they're determined enough). I will say that the last time I went here one of my slices fell topping side down onto one of the picnic tables and I still considered eating it afterward. The pizza is that good. read more

Has the best margherita pizza in Portland. And the price of just $9 makes it even more amazing.

I've found the best pizza ever over here at Pyro Pizza. Let's break it down: They offer Follow Your Heart vegan cheese, which melts bee-you-tifully on their pizzas. It's a buck to sub it in, but if you sub it for the buffalo mozz on the margherita pizza, it's free! The crust is delicious, soft and chewy that's not too thin or too thick--it's just perfect. The 2 guys behind the counter were super nice. When I show up in a wig talking about how I'm in love with a stripper (I am. She was adorable!), I don't get any strange looks (that I noticed, anyway). Back to the pizza: I ordered a Margherita Pizza that came with olive oil, fresh basil leaves, and Follow Your Heart melty-cheese. I added caramelized onions and tofurky sausage. HEAVEN. The pizza took around 8 minutes, and was gorgeous and melty and big enough for 2 people to share and only 10 bucks. The sweet flavors of the basil and the caramelized onions complemented each other well, and the occasional bite of gooey cheesey FYH pretty much made me have about 5 mouthgasms. It's the best pizza I've ever had, and I'm not just saying that because I was swimming in vodka and had strip-club glow; this pizza is seriously amazing. read more

Yum! This is a pretty thin crust with a nice char from the ovens. One pizza is a perfect size: enough to split for a decent snack, but not so big that you'll feel like a total glutton if you eat it alone. The sauce is delicious, rich with the tiniest amount of spice. There aren't a ton of toppings or selections to choose from, so I usually just get pepperoni. That being said, it's a damn good pepperoni pizza. I like that they serve their own sodas, and my favorite is the basil cucumber. It's rare that I drink soda, and this is a nice treat. More menu options would make this a 5 star experience, but don't let my ranking make you think this isn't awesome pizza. Because it is. read more
