Top 3 Pizzerias in Portland

A friend visiting Portland asked where to go for the best pizza in town. What a question!

Everyone has different tastes and preferences when it comes to pizza, and there is something for everyone in Portland. For the busy traveler, however, digging through a list of 30 places on a blog is not much more helpful than looking it up in the yellow pages. Tempting the wrath of all Partisan Pizzeria Patrons of Portland, therefore, I will reduce the list to the three best options:

Top 3 Pizza Joints in Portland

These are not in order; they are all paragons of pizza perfection in their own ways.

1. Ken's Artisan Pizza
   • Brick-baked perfection
   • No delivery, limited take-out. Dine-in is the way to go.
   • Nice place, wine list, no reservations, smart casual.
   • Expect a wait for seating.
2. Flying Pie Pizzeria
   • Fat pie loaded with toppings
   • No delivery
   • Take-out or dine-in, casual.
3. Hammy's Pizza
   • excellent thin pizza with fresh local ingredients
   • Delivery & take-out only
   • Open until 4am
   • Also delivers Voodoo doughnuts & movie rentals

I hope this list helps anyone who recently moved to Portland or who might be visiting from afar. Enjoy!
