    Real good pizza, but entitled money grab 20% "fee" is off-putting.
    Andrew A.

    The Burrata slice, one of their more popular choices, was super delish. Non-burnt perfect crisp, creamy middle, no sag. Turn around time was fast and service was very friendly. The #1 complaint from Yelpers is the entitled 20%. Can't really fault the owner as the inner-Portland vibe condones it. This will not work in many other cities. But it's not about the actual $ why I have issue, it's the pseudo altruistic reasoning that it's for worker welfare, that we're all in this together BS. Call it for what it is: a money grab. It's guilting the consumer into subsidizing payroll. It says, we don't trust our own service to generate tips. Too bad, as the pizza is good.

    Frankie P, Garlic Knots
    Breanne O.

    I love this pizza place! They do great thin crust pizza with the option to buy by the slice. My personal favorites are the Frankie P (the sesame crust is SO GOOD), Plain, and The #1. I didn't really like their caesar salad though. Staff is super friendly and there is a pinball machine in the NW location which is cool.

    Sungold Margherita + Prosciutto add on  Delicious!
    Michelle N.

    Never been to the brick and mortar locations but the slices we tried at the Portland Tomato Festival 9/13/25 has me convinced to go ASAP. I especially loved the peach caprese - an unexpectedly delicious combination and the addition of the prosciutto was chefs kiss highly recommend trying!!

    Took a trip to Portland to visit my best friends and they took our group to their favorite Pizza Parlor, Scottie's! I decided to give the Frankie P slice a try while my friends got their orders. The Frankie P was probably one of the best slices of pizza I have ever tried!! It was very flavorful and delicious and I loved every bite of it. It was a thin slice and it really hit the spot for lunch. 5/5 experience for me!

    Vegan combo
    Magda G.

    Two vegan options - combo & marinara. This vegan combo pizza was THE thinest like I'm not kidding paper thin pizza, it was silly & he sprinkled kosher salt which he didn't ask if I wanted; making it super salty, too salty. I was also charged 20% some mysterious service fee, he explained it as their tip, well that is nice. The last time I checked, the tip was optional, not mandatory. Very disappointed w my expierance. CC accepted.

    Nice atmosphere
    Jennifer M.

    10 in Pizza was perfect for 2 and the accompanying ceaser salad was small but still enough. We ordered an olive and mushroom pizza and it was delicious.

    To be completely honest, I initially stopped into this place because it smelled so good as I was walking by. The employees here are so welcoming and friendly! The pizza was yummy too. You can order by the slice or a whole pie. My understanding is that tips are not allowed because they an additional surcharge to cover employee benefits and wellbeing. I like the intention behind this, but I really would rather that the price just be included in the cost of the slice. I want to support the employees, and would rather do so by paying for a $6.75 slice than buying a $6 slice with a 75 cent surcharge. Maybe this is just a personal opinion, but if you're removing the option to tip with the intention of supporting employees in this manner, it seems the most courteous to include this surcharge in the sticker price.

    Pepperoni slice and DeFino
    Perry W.

    I'm not lying to you when I say this DeFino slice was one of the best slices of pizza I've ever had. I'm consistently a believer that a pepperoni slice is the superior slice and cheese only is reserved to children mostly. But think again...I'm a changed man The crust alone is perfection. It's like a focaccia that is both crunchy and airy in all the right places. Sauce and cheese mingling together in a perfect romance of flavor, only to be met at the end with freshly chopped basil. I could've easily eaten a full pie of this and I'll for sure be back for an occasional slice. Bravo, Scotties. Bravo

    Absolutely delicious pizza! You can taste the love and care they put into their food. ...No notes

    Pizza picnic!
    Stephanie A.

    Great pizza joint! Love that they have pizza by the slice and super interesting flavors. They also have salads etc. a little bit expensive for what it is but super tasty! Cute space too with a big outdoor seating area.

    Destination Funeral IPA, Frankie P, Ricotta-rita!
    Mimi T.

    This place was bomb. Chill atmosphere, great service, DELICIOUS pizza and beer. Got Destination Funeral IPA, Frankie P, Ricotta-rita! We came here since they served pizza by the slice. Why not try it out on your food crawl through Portland!

    Jenny L.

    Drawn in by all these positive reviews, I was disappointed to find the pizza underwhelming. Perhaps my palate is simply different. The cashier was helpful in telling us popular pizzas, but the 20% upfront service fee for a self serve establishment felt excessive. We got our own drinks and cleared our table, with only pizza delivery as 'service.' I appreciate tipping for good service, but this wasn't it. The thin pizza and doughy crust wasn't my favorite. While the pizza was edible, I doubt I'll return.

    Cheese Slice
    Alex W.

    Atmosphere: Bright, take-out style spot with a few indoor and outdoor tables Food: Excellent. Probably the best pizza in Portland Price: Steep for pizza. They also charge a 20% service fee too. This is the biggest deterrent from me being a regular Service: Service was fine Parking: Street parking

New York and Chicago are still trying to catch up. But we are in the Pacific Northwest, nowhere near Loui's Pizza or Buddy's Pizza (Detroit pizza staples). So many times, what tries to pass off as "Detroit style" falls miles short. Then came "Ranch" where I stood outside and screwed up enough courage to try yet another Detroit style pizza. The interior was small, one wall lined with tomato sauce cans, the menu was bolted to a wall. The smell took me back and that gave me some hope. The pizza arrived at the table, the wife and I have varied tastes so we each ordered a quarter pizza. Mine was pepperoni, the wife had a veggie. The pizzas looked right, square, caramelized crispy edges, heavy toppings... and then on the side of the plate was this cup of ranch dressing. Duh! "Ranch" obviously has to have a good ranch, right? I dipped my pinky finger in the ranch and took a taste. You would not think one ranch can be so far ahead of the others, but ranch is the place for ranch, as well as pizza. My first bite brought a smile to my face, it was just, right in every way that a Detroit pie should be. I have been back to try their #4 pie with sausage and ricotta, and I am looking forward to more trips. If all that was not enough, the service was friendly, the food came out so quick (about 10 minutes) and the place was nice and clean.

If you're in or planning to be in Portland, Oregon, I respectfully and enthusiastically recommend you include Pizza Kat in your considered alternatives. A thin, flexible, and tasty-all-by-itself crust. Tomato sauce that adroitly walks the lines between sweet and acidic, and between supporting the other elements well, fading into obscurity, and overwhelming those other elements. The right amounts of the right cheeses. And fresh, tasty toppings. (Sweet Italian sausage not dominated by garlic and mushrooms worth eating on their own, for two delicious examples.) Even better, prices are reasonable, and delivery is available. We had some delivered to our hotel, and it arrived almost as hot and tasty as we would have expected were we at a table near the ovens. There are other pizzas worth eating -- including the thicker-crust "deep cut" slices available before and after select shows at Revolution Hall. But when you want the thin-crust version done right, Pizza Kat will leave your taste buds and tummy purring, without clawing the life out of your wallet.

Unfortunately, this was both our first and last visit. I don't think I've ever disliked a pizza before, but this may be the first one I would genuinely call bad. I enjoy wood-fired pizza and don't mind a little char, but somehow this pizza tasted noticeably bitter despite having very little visible charring. Whether it was the lack of sauce, the sauce itself being quite bland, or simply an imbalance of flavors, the end result just wasn't pleasant. The biggest issue is the value. A $25 cheese pizza doesn't need to be life-changing, but it should at least taste better than Costco's. In this case, unfortunately, it didn't. If your goal is to enjoy great pizza, I'd recommend one of the many other pizza spots in the area instead.

It's true NY style, thin enough to fold if you're walking, the perfect amount of oily, with only the freshest of mozzarella. Slices are available at the counter (and a few stools if you're just having a quick lunch) all day. For a whole pie, call ahead to schedule (503-22-SLICE has been their number since I moved here decades ago) and they'll give you a time generally 20-35 minutes in the future depending on how busy they are. Staff are just like NYC: no suck-up, extra sarcasm, and if you stand at the register for 5+ minutes fumbling with your wallet, they might make a snide comment.

For example, when the Arugula Salad is made well, it is fantastic. However we have had repeated experiences where the greens are not fresh, or the dressing is forgotten, or there is no cheese. We have had repeated issues specifically with takeout orders, over many years. Additionally, if you dine-in, there is an entire bottle of oil on the table that you are encouraged to use on your pizza. It is delicious, and really completes the pizza flavor profile! They used to automatically include two small containers of oil per pizza if you ordered to-go. Current policy appears to be to not include any oil with the pizza (unless explicitly asked) and to only provide a maximum of two oils (even if multiple pizzas are ordered). I don't know if there is an oil shortage or what, but this is silly for a place that charges so much for their pizza. Life of Pie is a typical Portland restaurant that expects you to tip before you receive your food (and also expects you to bus your own table). To me, this expectation alongside with the inconsistency of the food for the price, is disappointing, and does not encourage people to go out of their way to return. When the food is good it is a solid place, however I would expect much more consistency for the price they command.
