It has been written up in the New York Times as one of the ten best pizza places in the US! We recently took a Greek friend (who considers himself a pizza snob from New York and has never found a pizza that comes very close to what he considers real pizza in Portland). He LOVED it! I should caution you, on Friday and Saturday eves, the wait can be up to 2 hours just to get seated. We have always thought it was worth the wait. Their website is apizzascholls.com and will give you more specifics. (We first got introduced to them when they were a mere ten minutes from us in the little community of Scholls..we have since followed them to the Hawthorne district, but it's much more of a time commitment now, and the Hawthorne district isn't quite as wholesome!...it's STILL so worth it!)

It is crazy with the kids play room. The crust is great. It has cornmeal on the bottom. The way they bake it is really good. They even have delivery. Try it you'll like it.

This is an example of "taking local things for granted." My parents live really near this place, so this is their convenient pizza place. I don't think they realize how extra special it is!

Pizzicato comes in second, their salads are great go-withs. However, in our opinion, on 'those nights you're staying home', Papa Murphys can't be beat. We like Giovanni’s in Beaverton!

It was great! And we were just in NW last week and I was thinking - what is the name of that place we went to... so glad that you sent this out. My husband's favorite pizza place is a tie between Pizzacato and Pizza Schmitza. I'm not a huge pizza lover - I would choose Pizzacato over Pizza Schmitza :-) We found that place when I was pregnant with Sydney and would go down to Good Samaratin for classes! It was great!

They pile on more toppings than you can imagine! Ultimately, our favorite pizza in Oregon is Giovanni's Mountain Pizza in Mill City, OR. We have been known to drive an hour and a half just to have pizza and then come back home. In fact, just a month ago, four of us drove all the way there and ordered four large pizzas plus one to go. We ate a little there and then took all the rest home. Yep, they looked at us like we were nuts!!!! Our favorite pizza in the Portland Metro is in Vancouver…Juliano’s Pizza.
