    When my friend and I had our flight delayed from Sac and we finally landed in PDX we already knew we were going straight to Virtuous Pie for some vegan pizza. This is what happens when two vegans from Sacramento land in Portland's wonderland of vegan foodie options. We indulge! We made it there shortly before closing and ordered two pies (Super Funghi and Stranger Wings), garlic knots, and scoops of Salted Caramel & Chocolate Pretzel ice cream. I've been to Virtuous Pie in Vancouver's Chinatown, but this was a first time for me at the Portland location. The pizza was good (especially the spicy Stranger Wings, which I prefered) but felt that everything was a tad overcooked. The garlic knots were even slightly burnt. Maybe we caught them on an off night because they were close to closing, but knowing their pizza from Vancouver I can say I've had better from them. Personally I'd also prefer Sizzle Pie if I had to choose between the two vegan pizza places, but I'm definitely not opposed to coming back here for more. I'd also recommend trying out the ice cream, because the flavors are creative and ever-changing. #2VS

    Came in on a Tuesday around 3pm and the place was quiet. I was excited to try Virtouos pies out and sat down to look things over before I decided since I was the only guest in there.. The pizza was just okay so I ordered a side of marinara sauce and hot honey to dip the slices in.. both were $2 each and a small ramekin size. And served cold.. cold sauces for my hot pizza? hmm.. okay.. I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip to dip my slices instead.. pretty good. I liked this the most. I wasn't super stoked on my lunch so I decided to try a couple desserts to make the lunch better.. they were just okay too.. the seasonal canoli was supposed to be apple pie but instead came with apple pie cream and no actual baked fruit.. The guy at the counter was slow with ordering and making my drink.. meh..

    Pizza had almost no sauce and was burnt. The "pepperoni" was giant slabs of seitan. Got an Alfredo pasta that was $19 served in a tiny desert dish. Mod pizza makes a better vegan pizza at half the cost. Their ranch is good though. Never again. They also charged me $2 for 2oz side of marinara

    Had heard great things about this place and am looking forward to going back. We only stopped by for ice cream and homemade waffle cones this go round, but will definitely be back to try pizza, mac n cheese and other delicious goodies. We were kindly greeted upon walking in! We gave the Marionberry and Stawberry & Cream a shot. They were good flavors. Felt a bit overpriced for ice cream but it was still worth it. Looking forward to checking out additional menu items upon our return!

    AJ was amazing!! She took such good care of us and made the best recommendations. She made us feel welcome and at home. I am so glad we came here. Also - The pesto was SO GOOD.

    Great great great!!! Vegan pizza here is da bomb! Cool space to hang and enjoy.... No animals were harmed ....

    Portland Pizza Week is here! I tried two places today and it a fun discovering new pizza flavors. Don't miss out - the week is almost over! Here are some tips to make the most of it: 1 Explore nearby pizza spots and try different flavors. 2 Check out their special Pizza Week pies. 3 Note their open times as some places may have limited hours. 4 Vegetarians, fear not - there are plenty of veggie options available! 1. @virtuous_pie-Pepper Ann They had a really light and healthy taste, and the place itself was really cool, with an amazing dessert menu. It's a great spot for date night or hanging out with friends.

    Blue Lavender Ice Cream

    I had a hankering for ice cream so I can only comment on that. Everyone was super friendly, and the space had a chill, clean vibe. The blue lavender ice cream was delicious and super creamy. Decadently refreshing if that's something that's possible. I'm sure I'll have pizza here at some point but for now the ice cream is good enough!

    Pepper Ann Slice
    Shane W.

    We decided to try the pepper ann slice here for pizza week, and we didn't enjoy it very much. While there can be some leeway for vegan food lacking in flavor, this was far from acceptable. Every single component was below average in flavor. It was genuinely one of the worst slices we've ever eaten, worse than frozen pizza.

    Bacon Mac and cheese. Pierogi Pizza.
    Rachelle R.

    We do takeout all the time and when I say this is the fastest service I am not lying. We had an estimated 30 minute wait and it was all ready in 7 minutes. Not only that but the food is absolutely fantastic. The service is incredible and the pizza is unbeatable. The pizza is always so satisfying and the mac and cheese is just a great comfort food. I have eaten at this location and the Vancouver and I can say they are also very consistent across locations. Nothing bad to say ever we love it here.

    Garlic knots, mac and cheese and pizza!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
