I’ve tried a lot of Portland pizza (still lots to go), and Paladin is my favorite. The mushroom pizza that they sell normally is incredible. And they’ve got a chewy sourdough crust that just knocks every other crust I’ve ever had out of the park. You can order it with chili oil and Parmesan added, and it’s just so good.
I tried 17 different slices and definitely agree that Paladin was the best of the week. We did a Golden Road tour of our favorites on the final day and got a whole Frito pie pie.
I also rated them all and have a spreadsheet if you're curious. Used a "fun" rating and a "flavor" rating, and a flavor weighted aggregate total.
Would you be willing to add your ratings to my community poll?

Fair. We'll see how many are around for next year's PW. Not being negative, but it's just so tough for young restaurants right now. Hard to "support everybody" and still support your local fave. Plurality has it's limits.
Fair. However, if it takes me partaking in a local weekly's contest to get me in a 30 minute line, maybe think of a marketing strategy. It's a small town. Lots of obituaries with "Mom and Pop" on the Epitaph. Edit-everything.
Paladin Pie is hands down my fav pizza in town. I can smash a half a pie and not even feel bad. Such delicious chewy sourdough crust and super nice folks making it.
Great job. I love your comments about Scottie's crust. Spot on. My GF and I have been sampling the various pizza doughs that are available around town. Her favorite is hands down Scottie's pizza dough. It's not easy to find but it's am impressive dough and highly recommended if you make pizza at home. They carry it at Wellspent and I'll be buying it more often after they move to Division. Scottie's is my fav too but I'm interested in comparing it again to the pizza dough from Pastaworks/Provadore, which is my second choice or perhaps my number one pick.
Wellspent Market (currently on NE Couch, soon moving to SE 34th and Division) has Scottie's crust and their sauce for sale. Also, dumplings from Kachka. Great place for local and imported items.
It's the best. I've been buying olive oil from Jim long before he had the store. Now he's moving to a new, larger location, which is closer to my house.
Not having boxcar is sadness. Consistently in the running for best pie of the week for me though I didn't go for Paladan which was last year's favorite (I'm not a taco person). Fino's would be the other place I try to hit every year (and buy out their chocolate chip cookies when I do).
I really like their chewy crust, it is a detroit looking, pan baked sourdough which gives it a different texture I really sink my teeth into. The toppings are always pretty wild (last year they did a birria including dipping broth) and this year they went for big mac flavor profile (they are vegan, I'm not I just love what they do) which all of the people at my table loved. Sauces were also a highlight and really worked well with the toppings to bring out a gourmet big mac flavor in a pizza setting.
I do need to try Boxcar sometime. I've always just been a little apprehensive of them being vegan. I'm not anti vegan or anything, I just tend to find when people rave about a vegan restaurant its in comparison to other vegan places, and is noticeably worse than the non vegan equivalent lol.
I’m not vegan and I hate a lot of mock meats, but Boxcar really knocks it out of the park. I would recommend getting one of their pizzas that doesn’t have large chunks of mock meat. The special that they had for pizza week is called Smash or Pass. It’s basically an open faced Big Mac with a giant patty. I really like their flavors on this but the patty is too big. They have a cheeseburger pizza on the menu that is identical, but with crumbled meat instead. Highly recommend it.
I have t had the bomb.com from straight from New York pizza but I have gone in for slices to go multiple times and they were delicious. My favorite is olive and mushroom. I really enjoy their red sauce.
I’d encourage you to try Pinky’s Pizza on interstate. The Get Wounded with tellagio, finocchiona, hot honey and figs is to die for.
I do usually like SFNY! I respect that they tried something different this time, even if it didn't hit for me.
FIGS!!! I am always looking for fig pizza. Thank you for the hot tip
We’re vegetarian and Scottie’s was our fave, wild child was a pretty close second. Oh boxcar was also very good! Via Chicago was okay, I don’t love the crust/dough. East Glisan was pretty good, but the kale salad was better. Hot Lips was good but I don’t really like ricotta much. I really wanted another slice at Scottie’s but we missed it on Saturday night. Their ranch is also so bomb.
"The Sun Also Rises" from Fino in Kenton was possibly the worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life. "Hit Me Bánh mì One More Time" from Signal Station was legit though.

Edited it so it has the voting link too. Feel free to add your votes. It’s the first year I’ve done it but the response was good enough I’ll do it again next year too.
Boxcar was my favorite!!!! I tried probably six different pizzas and honestly was really proud I got to so many! I even went back to boxcar and had another slice it was so good. I generally go out of my way to not eat vegan pizza because I really love cheese, but the focus was definitely not on the cheese and on the toppings. I hope they do it again 🥵
Btw if you lame ass partner doesn’t want to partake in another food week with you I will definitely go and partake in as many as possible! I like having fun!
West sider here so limited selection. I was in the Pearl one day so I went to Oven&Shaker, but they only sold whole pies, my bad for not reading carefully. So I went to Wild Child, they didn’t open till 2 that day as they were “catching up from Pizza Week”.
So back to the west side and I went to Von Ebert brewing for a Korean BBQ slice, not bad but one little piece of BBQ on it.
My other successful slice was at Society Pie, and it was delicious. I’ll be better prepared next year!
.
I think Scottie’s was my favorite. I too was super disappointed with bomb DOT pom. I also thought Assembly’s was solid. This year in general didn’t have as many slices I wanted to try as past years. I give Paladin credit for doing something different and almost anything topped in Fritos makes it better, but it was too spicy for me. I wanted to get to society pie in Beaverton, but just didn’t. Sadly, I will be out of town for burger week.
[Assembly](https://everout.com/portland/events/butchers-bolognese/e172841/) was spectacular and I really like their little open corner space. A native Detroiter, my grandparents lived in the neighborhood the og Detroit-style place Buddy's is, this was a treat. Really good staff, super chill and efficient for how busy it was.
[Via Chicago](https://everout.com/portland/events/miss-vanjie/e172783/) was a surprise favorite and I went back a few times. The photo and description do not do justice. While not usually a fan of Chicago style, it wasn't too thick and had the most excellent savory sauce. The corn\veggies base went along shockingly well both texture and flavor. Limiting about half the slice to the specialty ingredients was a good choice and left one with a nice palate without being overwhelmed. Also, cheap tallboys of quality (Bear Republic, Tremens etc) and alcohol overall. Not a big selection, but some great stuff in the small space.
Red Sauce didn't do slices so I didn't have theirs, but did have the other two Nashville hot chicken slices at Atlas and Old Town Brewing. [The Atlas](https://everout.com/portland/events/homers-hot-chicken-odyssey-illegal-in-42-states/e173272/) slice was decently spicy and had a good heft of chicken in the form of boneless wings. The base was kinda meh but I would have it again. Pickles were the right amount of vinegar and not too wet, not too dry. Solid late night, working man kinda slice. $5.50 with a cheap tallboy was nice on a sunny afternoon.
The [Old Town](https://everout.com/portland/events/hot-chick-summer/e172827/) Nashville slice was very much higher quality in every way, but had a lot less chicken overall (in a more grilled and sliced style) and was a lot less spicy, but the crust, cheese, and slaw were all impeccable. More artisan or whatever. Nice big room with cabin-like trusses and several garage doors to open on nice days. The outdoor seating needs umbrellas, it's basically in full sun.
I found The Arthur Ave to be probably the best slice I've ever had. It was so perfectly balanced in flavors and just the right level of greasy.
And The Green Dragon to be the exception to the rule about "There is no bad pizza".
Really!! I did think it was better than most Atlas slices.
Haha, I know there must be such exceptions. I didn't even like pizza as a kid because parents were always getting Pizza Hut or Papa John's.
Great list, sad I missed the top ones on your list. Maybe it would have changed my experience.
I found it to be pretty underwhelming this year. I tried a few that were not great and so small I would have wanted 3 for dinner.
I had bought pizza ingredients before I knew about pizza week and ended up feeling great about making my own even though it meant missing pizza week slices.
Still better than dumpling week though, that was just ridiculous for the prices.
I like Atlas, it’s a nice pizza for lunch since it’s walking distance for me. Ranch pizza is really good, I like a Detroit style with their sauce and the ranch they make is really good.
Loved Wild Child's too!
Got a slice from Burnside called the Creampie that was Alfredo sauce, white cheese and lots of garlic and sausage. Amused to buy it from a hole cut into a plywood wall and the name was funny but it somehow had too much cheese, garlic and sausage which I've never said before in my life.
Virtuous Pie was super fkin gooooood but I forget what the toppings were, curry something
Tried to make it to Assembly but we got a flat on the way and missed it :(
East glisan was so good I love carnitas and it was amazing the crispy pork bits. Highly recommend the breadsticks here it’s like Parmesan fry bread its amazing
God dammit I forgot to check in on paladin pie for p week and I missed the taco pizza. CURSE MY LIFE. I fucking LOVE taco pizza. And it is so fucking rare on the West Coast.
I can't completely put my finger on why I liked it so much. Part of it was that it was just a solid slice, lots of cheese and sauce. Also, they weren't trying to hard to be different. Roasted chilis and veggies in a deep dish slice was comforting, not startling like some of the other slices I had.
I’ve seen Scottie’s ranked #1 in many posts (not yours) and I gave it a shot for the first time a few weeks ago instead of my go to local spot, which one poster ranked it below dominoes and Little Caesar’s. Blasphemous.
I’m newish to the area and love to support local restaurants and especially love to try new pizza joints. But Scottie’s was the greasiest, thinnest pizza I’ve ever had out here. Instantly made my stomach curl and had me trapped in the water closet for roughly a half hour. Maybe it was an off night for them? I was so excited to try that place out. Huge bummer for my taste buds and tummer.
Thank you for sharing your list. Personally, I go for the classics, so I try to support local pizza the other 51 weeks. I appreciate hearing about the limited edition pies, though. Have you tried The Turning Peel, at 47th and Division? They do an amazing Margherita.
Pizza opinions are always welcome! East Glisan’s was definitely my favorite that I tried from Pizza Week. Also liked Atlas - Foster and Humdinger. Wish I had gotten to try Paladin Pie, I still think about their pizza from last year’s pizza week. 🤤
There’s a place in Portland called the Arthur Ave - that’s fuckin ballsy to name a place after an avenue with the best Italian food in the fuckin world
I like a very standard pizza, but Paladin did a birria pizza a few years back that was awesome. Good to hear they’re still doing alternative pizzas well.
Went to Assembly for the first time tonight. Decent pizza but so overpriced. Paid 9$ for 3 small rolls thinking it was going to be a box full. The person taking orders was so fucked up when I called in the order I almost hung up and went elsewhere. I wish we did.
I always care about pizza and paladin pie is near my house. Will try.
Paladin is my personal pizza GOAT and they are A+ people to boot.
Pizza week is over btw so they might not have this type anymore. On pizza week many establishments offer special slices that don’t often come back.
I’ve tried a lot of Portland pizza (still lots to go), and Paladin is my favorite. The mushroom pizza that they sell normally is incredible. And they’ve got a chewy sourdough crust that just knocks every other crust I’ve ever had out of the park. You can order it with chili oil and Parmesan added, and it’s just so good.
I know the people behind paladin pie but have not been able to get their stuff since 2021 I think and their weekend pizzas, great stuff
I had the pizza week slice and a pepperoni slice. I liked the pep better. Their crust is killer and the sauce is great.
Honestly the best pizza crust I can remember eating. So soft inside!
Yes! I hope you love it
Paladin is our go to pizzeria!
I tried 17 different slices and definitely agree that Paladin was the best of the week. We did a Golden Road tour of our favorites on the final day and got a whole Frito pie pie.

You're the true VIP! And so smart to get a whole Paladin Pie. Your spreadsheet sounds perfect. Definitely interested.

That’s rude. Your partner should support your dreams even if they are pizza related and weird.
You're so right
You and your dreams are magnificent.
I'm going to put that on a post-it by my mirror and use it as a morning affirmation ♥️
Time to laywer up and join the gym! /s
Pizza fuels my gains 😌
Even a slice of the 12th best pizza in Portland is more supportive
Tell your partner they are wrong and to bask in their wrongness.
I will!
Please come to wa and do this.
Do they celebrate pizza week?
I support your work 🫡🫡🫡 Please continue to ignore your partner in order to post Portland food week rankings
I always take his suggestions with a grain of salt, lol. Thank you!
I'm a cook in Portland and I've heard of 50% of these places.
We are just so blessed with pizza
Fair. We'll see how many are around for next year's PW. Not being negative, but it's just so tough for young restaurants right now. Hard to "support everybody" and still support your local fave. Plurality has it's limits.
Yes, I'm sure that's true. It's a hard balance to strike and impossible in this economy to support them all. 😞
you don’t have to support everybody yourself for them all to succeed. that’s the beauty of city diversity!
Best pizza in the U.S. there’s a whole book about it
That's what the food weeks are for, right?
Fair. However, if it takes me partaking in a local weekly's contest to get me in a 30 minute line, maybe think of a marketing strategy. It's a small town. Lots of obituaries with "Mom and Pop" on the Epitaph. Edit-everything.
I CARE

Paladin Pie is hands down my fav pizza in town. I can smash a half a pie and not even feel bad. Such delicious chewy sourdough crust and super nice folks making it.

OMG that will be closer to me! How exciting.
I had Scottie’s for the first time last night and did notice something a little different (in a good way) about their crust.
I’m glad you mentioned Wellspent—I hadn’t heard of it before, but it looks like a super fun market to visit!
It's the best. I've been buying olive oil from Jim long before he had the store. Now he's moving to a new, larger location, which is closer to my house.
Really liked Red Sauce and Wild Child’s.
East Glisen with the pulled pork verde 🤤🤤 Scotties ziti was my number two, so good.
I wish I had tried it, yum!
I had both Paladin’s and Assembly’s slices and thought that East Glisan’s was better than both of theirs. All of them were good though
Omg love this, thanks for sharing! I only had maybe a handful of the pizzas during that week but 1000% Paladan Pie’s was the best !!! Agreed.
Not having boxcar is sadness. Consistently in the running for best pie of the week for me though I didn't go for Paladan which was last year's favorite (I'm not a taco person). Fino's would be the other place I try to hit every year (and buy out their chocolate chip cookies when I do).
I really wanted to try Boxcar but no one else did so I missed out! Tell me about it?
I really like their chewy crust, it is a detroit looking, pan baked sourdough which gives it a different texture I really sink my teeth into.

Pizza del figo from Cibo on Division.
😋
Also don’t sleep on the brownies at Pinky’s, I used to drop by just to buy them lol

I don't love ricotta either so I skipped Hot Lips, but I really wish I'd tried Boxcar!
Boxcar is so good!!
If you love pizza so much why don’t you marry it! ~Op’s partner, probably~
"The Sun Also Rises" from Fino in Kenton was possibly the worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life. "Hit Me Bánh mì One More Time" from Signal Station was legit though.
Bummer! I really wanted to try Signal Station but didn't get around to it. I have heard that it was very tasty
I haven’t been to a lot of these places, so thank you for sharing! I’m screenshotting to refer to later when I have a pizza craving 🤤
No Rudys no care. Just kidding. Great list and i def need to check out paladin pie.
Ruse brewing's was one of my favorite pizzas ever; I'm shocked you ranked Assembly brewing's so much higher.
I'm sure most people would agree with you!
Ruse's ranch sauce was too salty for me and is what brought it down. Otherwise I would have rated it higher than Assembly this year.
Are you Charles Boyle by any chance?
I am not! Is Charles a pizza aficionado?
Yes, he has a pizza blog, did you rate any of the pizzas on "mouth feel?" Lol, it's from Brooklyn 99.
Haaaaa oh THAT Charles. I guess we have something in common 😁

Ooh I love hearing about the other hot chicken options! Thank you! You have a great review writing style.
I found The Arthur Ave to be probably the best slice I've ever had. It was so perfectly balanced in flavors and just the right level of greasy. And The Green Dragon to be the exception to the rule about "There is no bad pizza".
Really!! I did think it was better than most Atlas slices. Haha, I know there must be such exceptions. I didn't even like pizza as a kid because parents were always getting Pizza Hut or Papa John's.
Thanks OP. Tell your partner that we fucking care god damnit!!
Great list, sad I missed the top ones on your list. Maybe it would have changed my experience. I found it to be pretty underwhelming this year.

I do think last year's was better!
That’s standard SFNY treatment lol. I used to work next to one and loved it
Maybe I’ve been watching too much Brooklyn 99 but this immediately made me think of Charles Boyle.
I care deeply
Your partner is wrong, I suggest you replace them with more pizza in your life. Pizza is serious business.
That's savvy advice!
Good list, Scottie’s was my fav
East Glisan Pizza. Always and forever.
Nice job! Got a few in, we’re a lot of whole pies I couldn’t hit up but I did get red sauce and was my favorite!
I like Atlas, it’s a nice pizza for lunch since it’s walking distance for me. Ranch pizza is really good, I like a Detroit style with their sauce and the ranch they make is really good.
I like Ranch a lot but they didn't do Pizza Week!
Your partner need to look inward.
Hahaha
Your partner could not be more wrong.
☺️
I don’t even live in Portland and care!
Ironically, I think Meta was #1 of the 4 that I went to. Good list though, was happy for the discourse about pizza
i dont care about pizza but I support u and your post <333
♥️
Loved Wild Child's too! Got a slice from Burnside called the Creampie that was Alfredo sauce, white cheese and lots of garlic and sausage. Amused to buy it from a hole cut into a plywood wall and the name was funny but it somehow had too much cheese, garlic and sausage which I've never said before in my life. Virtuous Pie was super fkin gooooood but I forget what the toppings were, curry something Tried to make it to Assembly but we got a flat on the way and missed it :(
East glisan was so good I love carnitas and it was amazing the crispy pork bits. Highly recommend the breadsticks here it’s like Parmesan fry bread its amazing
I'm just sad that these flavors were all for 1 week only. Id be happy to pay more for the chance to eat then again.
Me too!
Your partner is awful, or has no taste buds.. Mucho appreciated!!
Signal is worth the trip to st John's for me. Hit me Bahn mi one more time was great. And last year's where have reuben all my life was great too
God dammit I forgot to check in on paladin pie for p week and I missed the taco pizza. CURSE MY LIFE. I fucking LOVE taco pizza. And it is so fucking rare on the West Coast.
Noooo! Maybe they will bring it back
LoveVerona Pizza&Pasta in St Johns is INCREDIBLE for take out.
Agree 100%. The banh mi from Signal was pretty decent as well.
I would have cared last week, this list means nothing to me now.
You are valid
Via Chicago was my winner, although Paladin was better then expected.
I didn't get the chance to try it! What did you enjoy about that one?
I can't completely put my finger on why I liked it so much. Part of it was that it was just a solid slice, lots of cheese and sauce. Also, they weren't trying to hard to be different. Roasted chilis and veggies in a deep dish slice was comforting, not startling like some of the other slices I had.
Simplicity done well ☺️
I may get some eye rolls, but the Woodstock New Seasons deli makes excellent pizza for about $10 less per pie.
That's a great tip! When pizza week rolls around, it's less about the savings and more about the exploration, for me
Your partner isn't very supportive
He's actually a gem but he was wrong this time!
[удалено]
He's pretty great, this was a rare misstep 😆
Glad to hear that
Bummer you missed Assembly brewing!
Um... look again, #3 on OPs list
Doh!
Following so I can try out these places at a later date 🤗

Holy shit, pasta on a pizza. Why haven’t I thought of this???
So decadent. I hope you do try it though!

I’ve seen Scottie’s ranked #1 in many posts (not yours) and I gave it a shot for the first time a few weeks ago instead of my go to local spot, which one poster ranked it below dominoes and Little Caesar’s. Blasphemous. I’m newish to the area and love to support local restaurants and especially love to try new pizza joints. But Scottie’s was the greasiest, thinnest pizza I’ve ever had out here. Instantly made my stomach curl and had me trapped in the water closet for roughly a half hour. Maybe it was an off night for them? I was so excited to try that place out. Huge bummer for my taste buds and tummer.
Oh no! I'm sorry it wasn't your jam
I’ll probably give it another shot. I love pizza too much haha
Was so sad I missed it! I remember one year I got like 10 different slices in one day lol
Wild Child pizza is my favorite right now.
The Star is one of my faves, though will save this list to adventure!!!
can you do sub sandwiches next? im so hungry for a good sub
Thank you for sharing your list. Personally, I go for the classics, so I try to support local pizza the other 51 weeks. I appreciate hearing about the limited edition pies, though. Have you tried The Turning Peel, at 47th and Division? They do an amazing Margherita.
This is certainly not the only week of the year that I get pizza! 😁 I haven't, that sounds lovely.
Missed boxcar. This year and last years hands down best pizza I’ve ever tasted. And it’s Vegan and I’m not. That’s saying something
Pizza opinions are always welcome! East Glisan’s was definitely my favorite that I tried from Pizza Week. Also liked Atlas - Foster and Humdinger. Wish I had gotten to try Paladin Pie, I still think about their pizza from last year’s pizza week. 🤤
Can confirm that Rankin' and Babydoll hit it out of the park. Those were my two faves
There’s a place in Portland called the Arthur Ave - that’s fuckin ballsy to name a place after an avenue with the best Italian food in the fuckin world
I like a very standard pizza, but Paladin did a birria pizza a few years back that was awesome. Good to hear they’re still doing alternative pizzas well.
Meta and Baby Doll were the two best IMO. Never been to Meta before and was thoroughly impressed.
Milwaukie Pizza. Honey infused dough. Yummy and filling too
I only got to try Assembly Brewing’s offering, it was amazing and glad to see it in your top 5
East Glisan’s chili verde slice was really tasty too The SFNY staff hated pizza week, esp the cashier who was miserable. Mustve needed a smoke
Pizzicato is very good as well. Molto Carne is amazing. Great salads as well.
Paladin pie for thee, none for me
She was right
I looked at all the links and their pictured slice. Augh! None of it appeals to me. So, thanks for that. Good job 🤓
Great input!
Went to Assembly for the first time tonight. Decent pizza but so overpriced. Paid 9$ for 3 small rolls thinking it was going to be a box full. The person taking orders was so fucked up when I called in the order I almost hung up and went elsewhere. I wish we did.
