Pizzicato Pizza 4217 Northeast Fremont Street, Portland, OR 97213

"Abdolute garbage version of a margherita pizza. By far the worse I ever have had. The crust is good though so maybe if I had ordered a different pie I’d be better off but I will never order the margherita again."

"My friend said he was hungry, so I ordered him a pizza. However I asked the employees to make it as weird as possible, as a surprise for my friend. They happily accepted the challenge, and he received the pizza, with a cute letter with the secret recipe. My friend ended up loving the pizza so much, it's his new regular. Shout out to Beth who took my order and only charged me for a small cheese pizza despite putting a bunch of weird stuff on it. 10/10 service."

"Pizzicato is a local chain that has been around for ages. Over the years, as the culinary scene in Portland has changed, they've adapted to it. They have inventive monthly specials (real talk: that radicchio and hazelnut caesar needs to be on the menu full-time though), and you can order delivery online (which is a nice way to get delivery without supporting the gig economy, if you're so inclined). The pizza itself is kind of what I'd call "Northwest style". The crust isn't quite NY-thin, but nowhere approaching Chicago style. It's medium-ish thick, and super crispy. Similar to Mississippi Pizza, if you've ever been. The real star of the show often is the salads. They are fresh, the dressings are good, etc. When I'm trying to watch my carb intake I can go here with my kids, let them get slices, and I get a salad with some protein and everybody is happy. A word of warning though: when they say "large", they mean it. "Large" really is "family size" so don't even think about it unless you have a bunch of salad eaters at the table. :) If you're in need of a quick tasty slice and a salad, you know what to do."

"Whether it's a Friday night or a Tuesday lunch splurge, Pizzicato is the place to go to unwind, have a delicious slice or two of pizza and hopefully forget about doing your taxes this year. My only suggestion to Pizzicato would be that if you order two slices (for lunch perhaps), the person would say, "would you want that at the same time or a couple minutes apart?" How genius would it be to finish your first slice and another one comes to your table? Magic, I tells ya!"

"Pizzicato has solid, consistent pizza. We had the Pizza Week Pizza which had steak, potatoes, chimichurri, and caramelized onions. I thought it was really tasty, but would have loved a bit more steak and chimichurri flavor (mainly because those two elements were so good)! I’d definitely go back."
