I love Pizzicato. It's a bit of a different feel at each location, but this one is special. It's been through a lot over the past few months, now reopened after a forced makeover due to a natural gas explosion across the street. I tend to go with the seasonal pizzas like this caprese style slice can't remember the clever name. But I always compliment a slice with a the pear arugula salad. The lunch special is a great deal. Congrats on reopening, Pizzicato! Convenient and delicious.
This place is amazing!!! I had The CAPICOLA and Artichoke Dip w/ grape cola. One of my favorite places to grab a quick slice of pizza.
My sister and I wandered in here while out shopping one day last week. We were starving from walking all over the city. The restaurant was spotless. The gentlemen behind the counter were obviously keeping busy with prep work and cleaning in the kitchen, but greeted us promptly with a smile. He made recommendations as we tried to decide what to order. Then the pizza came out. Let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS. The crust was perfect and the toppings were generously and evenly distributed. My sister was in town visiting and we tried three pizza places in the general area, but none of them compared to the flavor and service we received at this establishment. Well done guys. We kept talking about how good it was for days. :-
This place has an excellent lunch for 8.99 or that consists of a slice of pizza--some of the best in town--and a salad. The portion is quite big and the ambiance is quite delightful and trendy. Definitely a place I would return sin e they understand gluten allergies and work hard to accommodate those needs. They can make a single of a gluten free pizza with delicious choices.
One thing that I like about this Pizzicato in particular is how it's not incredibly busy during peak hours. There's an arrangement of seating, too, so you often don't have to sit too close to any other party. It loses a star because the quality of the food feels lower than the other ones. The cheese sticks were extremely bland if you had it without the sauce, and the pizza was unevenly cooked. The food was still good, but I think other locations do it better.
Good pizza, great panini. Service was a bit slow for non busy time
Service was great, food arrived quickly, but the pizza sauce was very vinegary, and way too spicy for a BBQ base. The cheese was generous as was the chicken topping. However the GF crust was soft as though under cooked and lacked flavor. I probably won't go back for the GF pizza because of the crust and sauce. Again, the service was great, but the pizza was a disappointment and it's recipe needs greater refinement.
Fast delivery amazing pepperoni pizza. I was in Portland for 5 days and ordered it twice it was so good both time.
Went in at around 4pm on a Tuesday. Only two other customers in the place. Waited 15 minutes and no one came to take my order. Usually don’t get too frustrated but this was the 3rd sort of occasion this has happened. Went to Escape from New York down the block, I was in and out in 3 minutes flat. The guys working at Pizzacato looked super checked out and unresponsive for how slow it was. Not worth the time or customer service for the price point.
Pros: Food Gluten Free Options Free Delivery Cons: Price -Food- Probably my favorite pizza chain in Portland. They have great selection of toppings, and all the ingredients appear to be good quality as well. -Gluten Free Options- If that's your thing, they have it. Not sure how good it is, but they do have it. -Free Delivery- Always a plus, but kind of expected for a pizza joint. -Price- Paying $25 to $30 for a large pizza is pretty pricey for a pizza joint. I mean they are good, but not $30 good.
