Pizza Jerk - Portland

This restaurant serves one of the best gluten-free pizzas I have ever tasted. I highly recommend trying it with the sides of Calabrian chiles and ranch dressing.

Sunday happy hour from 4-5 is the way to go. Love the crunchy crust and they have the best gluten free pizza in town!

I visited this restaurant based on Bill Oakley's recommendation. However, when I arrived, I found that the establishment was closed off. It seemed that they had not gotten the memo that the pandemic had ended, as there was no indoor seating available. It appeared that they had transitioned to a takeout-only model. As a result, I decided to remove it from my list of dining options. For recommendations on great restaurants and cocktail bars, feel free to check out my profile.

This is my second time visiting, and both times I wasn’t sure it was even open no people, no staff visible. The door was open, so we walked in and called out, and we were promptly greeted. As we stood in the oppressively bright and sterile light, we were informed that they were only doing whole pies… for take out. All around weird since they are open late in a bustling part of town. Ok. The pizza itself was confusing. The crust was a 10 which is the hallmark of any reputable pizza joint BUT the sauce and toppings couldn’t be more bland. If there was sauce, I didn’t taste it: and how to you turn onions flavorless? It’s mystifying, like they engineered it to be flavorless. I don’t know what else to say.

I've only ever ordered from them but their pizzas are top notch. Every great once in awhile the quality slacks, but that's pizza joints for ya. About 9/10 times though it's absolutely fantastic and fast.
