I am glad that these guys are now open for lunch part of the week, which makes it easier for me to check them out. I have now been here twice for lunch and both times have left satisfied. They have some decent lunch specials to choose from. I tried the Tavern pizza the first time and then a single topping pizza the second time. Both times, I got their soft serve, which is worth it alone. For the tavern pizza, I chose the "It's Me, Nummy", which had pepperoni, jalepenos, and pineapple. I liked how the thin crust was crispy and light to eat. For the single topping pizza, I tried a pepperoni and my friend got the sausage. Overall, some good pizzas. read more

This was such a delicious pizza experience!! Small friendly place. The thin crust and having the pizza cut into small square bites was a surprise and we loved it! Monday nights you will get $5 off a bottle of wine. read more

Amazing happy hour deal with a cool sign out front that drew us in. Upside down and backwards, spelling of "Pizza" and a very creative cool motif inside offering soft serve ice cream, as well as nine dollar one topping house pizzas. Very Portlandy. High-quality with amazing crust and dough and the cheese was just popping. Prompt service and friendly kind staff. read more

Thin crust oven pizza is good quality. Need to provide better signage around walk up ice-cream, pizza to go vs sit down diners. 20% mandatory gratuity is a deal killer for takeout. Raise the price to cover labor costs. Service not worth 20%. read more

So delicious and the staff was so attentive ! We will definitely be back. Great neighborhood restaurant! read more

Red Sauce Pizza - Omg so good - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place gets great reviews and ever since moving to PDX I have tried Baby Doll, DImos APizza, The Turning Peel, Olys, East Glisan, with many more on the list (Blind Onion, Ranch Pizza) The Wild Child house canadian bacon, red onion, fresh pineapple I thought the Pizza was good, 3.5 stars sauce was flavorful, would def go back for a slice of something else- but buyer beware the value Large was 8 slices, it still seemed was very small compared to other places for price. They charge automatic 20% gratuity even on take out which added an additional $8 to the bill. Other places in PDX to discover --let the service speak for itself and the customer tip. Not a fan. read more

Great place to go if you like mandatory 20% tips from a qr code menu, bussing your own drinks, and using a laggy website. typically when I like to do that I use a vending machine, but the special thing about this place is that its not convenient either! A real standout in its category, Red Sauce Pizza literally has service like no other, as in it has no service. Pizza was mid. They gave it fancy names which were confusing. Oh, and the parking situation is unparalleled. Mostly because there isn't any parallel parking, or parking at all. read more

My wife and I went in before a Blazer game a few weeks ago. Cool spot but pizza was just okay (should've been better for the price). What really got me was the rude customers service. Not only was the wait long and the cashier acted like we inconvenienced her; but we had no choice on the mandatory 20% tip (rewarding bad customer service). Owner should pay them better instead of placing that on customers who are treated poorly by entitled employees. Meh. read more

Super yummy vegan pizza! And wonderful sourdough. I think they have new hours so I would doublecheck. Great ownership too. Yummmm read more

The pizza and Cesar sale were both excellent. I thought the crust has really good texture and flavor with the right amount of chew. What really solidifies this as a five star joint is the soft serve. It's so creamy and delicious! The service was fast and friendly. The staff were really nice to my young daughters and had coloring sheet for them. read more

The food is great. The service dreadful. 2 hour wait with canned apologies and ZERO problem solving. This is a trend w successful businesses. The customer is disposable. No offer to comp the $19 pizza we waited forever for. Zilch. Bring a lunch for your wait for dinner. Portland visitor. Incredible entitlement issues with the usual freak parade. 20% mandatory tip!!! Incredible arrogance. read more

Good pizza in a nice part of Portland. The crust is chewy and sauce is very tasty. They have vegan cheese options so that's a big plus. Service was good and everything is casual in a funky atmosphere that's fun to be in. They do automatically charge a 20 percent tip for service. I didn't catch that going in but they do have a sign on the outside. My only complaint is that they barely put any sausage as a topping and they didn't use fresh garlic as a topping. It was powder. Overall great pizza place. I would go back. read more

Really good pizza, great flavors, lovely red sauce. I was very disappointed that they don't do slices and only do half and half on the large pizzas with the same sauce base. I would have loved to try their mushroom pizza, but I'm glad I tried the one with the red sauce since it's in the name. A couple things that did bother me are the fact that even with a light char, about 1/2 of the crust was burnt, and they charge 20% gratuity for pickup orders (and it's not that cheap of a pizza in the first place). Totally love supporting service staff with tips, but a mandatory 20% for just handing you a box seems a little odd. Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

Red Sauce Pizza - The "Dirty" Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We decided to try the Pizza Week special. When we arrived, we were instantly told in an unkind and annoyed manner that we needed to call ahead for bigger groups and we couldn't be seated. It was a very abrupt response and we could have been ordering takeout. We placed an order for a whole pie and were told to wait outside. Seemed a little weird but there were many open tables but everyone seated were caucasian customers. We were a group of POC. Pizza lacked the ingredients, barely any chicken, all pickle chips. Also, they charge automatic 20% gratuity, also for take out orders. I don't support places that do that because gratuity should be earned not forced. And come on.. this is take out. read more

With the option of char doneness and with several visits back to this pizza place, I feel they deserve a star bump. I still think their ruthless pizza and the margarita are still stand outs. All & All - Light char with half margarita half ruthless is a home run. read more

good pizza but embarrassingly dumb sign on the sidewalk about gender roles. and good wine (but served in plastic cups?)

Long overdue review for my portland favorite pizza. This place is the perfect portland pizza. Amazing pizza, but having amazing "portland pizza" requires the souls of the neighborhood. At their prior location, I remember coming in during an ice storm around 2017. I offered to shovel their sidewalk, throw some salt for a free pie and it was an immediate "YES". They wanted to keep busy in the kitchen and keeping us safe. That story has nothing to do with how great their food is, perfectly made dough, cheese to die for toppings cut by hand. This is Portland's number 1 pizza spot IMO. read more

I've had their pizza a few times and it was decent, and their sandwiches are tasty. I've picked up food three times, and each time the service has been disappointing. I don't mind waiting at the counter, but in my experience the employees chat amongst themselves and don't acknowledge you at all for 2-3 minutes before just saying "hey". The last time I went to pick up an order, I arrived early and tried ordering a drink while I waited at the bar, but I sat there for at least 10 minutes waiting for someone before I decided to interrupt someone and try to order a drink. The food is good, and I love that there are vegan options, but every time I pick up food I'm disappointed at the service and general vibe. read more

I've tried this place a few times and it pains me to give it a mediocre score. Their wait time are always long. This time, we ordered online and when my husband went to pick it up at appointee time, they said they're backed up and it would extra 25 mins. So their online system is not good at giving accurate pickup times. When we got the pizza home, the crust portion was so floppy and thin you have to use two hands to eat your slice or it will just bend onto your plate. The taste is alright, but hardly had any sausage. All in all, mediocre experience and to automatically tip, well....I guess it's not up to the customer. read more

Love the sauce. Love the crust. Love the service. This is our favorite date spot before a show. Recently, we asked if they could accommodate kind of a large group for a birthday party with various dietary restrictions. Everyone was so helpful, the food came out perfect, and the birthday boy was so happy. read more

Love this place! The pizzas are interesting...yummy... and perfectly baked. The weekend hoagies are a special treat one should not deny themselves of. The staff are friendly and attentive in the right ways. Finally, try to save room for their soft serve ice cream. We split the sundae and it was the perfect ending to our pizza adventure. read more

Ordered a cheese pizza for takeout. I loved the three different cheeses they use as the topping and big chunks of olives and garlic, Yum! The worker at the checkout was friendly and the inside of the shop looked clean. Takeout window was closed so I had to go inside to pickup the pizza. read more

We went out in our neighborhood for what we hoped would be a nice Friday afternoon dinner. Unfortunately, what we experienced at Red Sauce was a mediocre pizza, and getting yelled at for raising our hand to let the server know we would like some service. If you visit this establishment, remember it is a no-hand-raising establishment. I have lived in Portland for 60 years and have never been treated so poorly. I work in customer service all day, and this establishment seems to have forgotten who the customer is. Very Sad. Fortunately, Portland is a great Pizza town, so no need to get yelled at again. read more

I normally don't like pizza, especially pizzas with red sauce due to my disdain for tomatoes. That being said, it was my unprovoked idea to go to Red Sauce Pizza for dinner the other night and I regret nothing! To be fair, we got the two pizzas that don't have tomato sauce and they were amazing. The crust was thin, perfectly chewy, and really made me reconsider this whole "I don't like pizza" reputation I gave myself because I can see myself coming back time and time again. Extra points for the outdoor seating area - lots of space available for you and all of your friends! Ruthless pizza (4/5) - This one had ricotta, truffle oil, mushrooms, and no red sauce. Definitely can taste the truffle, and the ricotta melted really well into the pizza. Hot Nancy pizza (5/5) - my favorite pizza I've ever had by far! This also did not have red sauce, but was topped with ricotta, red onion, and drizzled with spicy honey. It was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, which is my favorite combination of flavors! Cesar salad (1/5) - ingredients were definitely fresh, but this dressing was just... not it for me. I was expecting a more familiar cesar dressing flavor, but it ended up just tasting like lemon juice and parmesan cheese. Not a fan, don't recommend. Cheesy bread (5/5) - I want to say this was basically a thicker crusted cheese pizza without the sauce, and I am absolutely not mad about it at all. It was melty and delicious and I would eat it again. read more

This was a pleasant surprise and I definitely plan to order pizza for delivery from Red Sauce in the future. Was looking for a few pies for a group of friends and their kids. The place I originally planned to order from was no longer taking orders for delivery and as I scrambled for a new pizza place I came across Red Sauce on DoorDash. This place is pretty close to my house and we've certainly driven by and not thought twice about it. Anyways the pizza was delicious. I would absolutely order from here again and highly recommend checking them out. read more

The good: The hostess was lovely and the kitchen sent out a tasty pizza. The rest: My party and I had a subpar dining experience on April 19th in the evening, which defeated the purpose of dining in. Our server was inattentive. It took 90+ minutes to receive our sit-down order as we watched freshly-placed takeout orders get prioritized time and time again. Maybe they were just overwhelmed, as it's pizza week, but you have to operate like it's each diner's first time. Because unfortunately, that was the case for my party. Not a good first impression. Communication goes a long way and it was lacking at Red Sauce Pizza. I can understand the kitchen being backed up at dinnertime but you tell your patrons that and give an ETA. Don't leave them to sit and wonder or have to inquire. Service 101. The worst part is that their soft serve was one of the draws. While our server was literally sitting down laughing with another table of patrons as we tried to get her attention, a big group came in and got the last of the soft serve before the machine broke. I know this because I got up and went to ask the hostess for boxes and soft serve after being tired of sitting in that place and she cringed as she told me. When our actual server finally came back over to see if we needed anything (after we no longer did), she also joked about how she was finally done ignoring us. She also insisted I was wrong when I explained the latest development to her about the soft serve. Can't make this stuff up. FYI - 20% gratuity is automatically included for parties of all sizes. With all the wonderful pizza shops in Portland , no reason to gamble on a repeat here. read more

Really great pizza. Delicious crispy crust. Light and airy but with just the right amount of chew. The sausage pie was really tasty! Enjoyed the garden salad and some soft serve too! The line at Ken's was just too long so this more casual place nearby filled the void quite nicely. Friendly service too! Highly recommend read more

We just moved to Grant Park and oh boy, are we lucky to have this as our local pizza spot. I know Portland is a pizza town and Red Sauce is up to the task. We've ordered delivery from here twice already in the three weeks since we moved in. We tried the Caesar salad, the Georjean (house vodka sauce, ricotta, basil and EVOO), the Ruthless (ricotta mushroom and truffle), The Rosie (calabrese salami, pickled peppers and Shardell's spicy honey) and a classic pepperoni. Everything was delicious, 'would order again' good, but our favorite was the Georjean. Crust is crispy with char. The Caesar dressing was no joke, quite possibly the best we've ever had. Can't wait to dine in (and at this rate, it'll probably be next week! lol) read more

Ordered the breadsticks, Caesar salad, and a large wild child. Plenty of food to feed two hungry humans. All were amazing. Took about 25 minutes after I called on a Saturday night. Get the breadsticks with pepper flakes! Ranch and marinara sauces - amazing. read more

BEST Pizza around. LOVE IT here. I have some friends that always wanna try to get a spot at Ken's. Legit, Ken's is good... If you want a pizza that's up there, in terms of quality, with Ken's, but you don't wanna f*** around for an eternity with waiting in line with a mountain of yuppies, just go north a few blocks to Red Sauce Pizza and you'll be glad you did. I don't wanna make this about a Ken's comparison, because that's just unfair to Red Sauce. Red Sauce stands on its own as LEGIT good pizza. They get an awesome char on the outer crust, the ingredients are quality and they dont' over-do it. It's just perfect. Red Sauce is a sleeper. Don't sleep on it though! Keep it in your back pocket :D I think it's the best in town. read more

You had me at delicious soft serve. Not many places in Portland offer soft serve ice cream, especially not any dope pizza spots. I highly recommend spoiling your dinner with one of these cones while you wait for your pizza. The pizza here is really good, a nice crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside crust with the tiniest little black char spots on it is what I like to call, a little slice of happiness. Highly recommend the Hot Nancy. The honey they put on this pizza on the top is so unique and really makes this a fine pie. This business supports all kinds of social justice issues with fundraisers(100 percent of the proceeds type of fundraisers!!!) so you really feel good about spending your money here. Oh, and to-go only to protect employees during a global pandemic? Hell yeah! Red Sauce is doing good things here in Portland, not just providing your mouth hole with orgasmic slices of happiness. read more

We waited an hour and 15 minutes from when we ordered until when our pizza arrived. Many people around us had clearly been waiting longer. It was insulting watching folks come in the door, make a to go order and receive their pizza before us. The business clearly prioritizes their to-go order over customers dining in. When the pizza finally arrived it was very mediocre. Very burnt. The dough was not good and just did not taste like a $30 pizza. For all the good pizza that exists in Portland how does this place stay in business? When the bill arrived we noticed an automatic 20% gratuity had been added. I will always tip 20% if I receive decent service but it felt odd to me that after receiving bad service I had no choice but to pay a 20% tip. There are so many great pizza places in Portland and we only tried this place because it was in our neighborhood. Now I know why no one has ever recommended this place to me. We will not be back. read more
