OT Best Pizza in Portland area?

[Lanny]

Hamms, natty ice, milwaukees best, olde english, steel reserve just to name a few....

Oh God, I forgot Hamms.

When I first turned 21 my very first alcoholic purchase was a bottle of Olde English 800. Hey, I was young and very very stupid.

Buddies and I used to make brass monkeys with 40's of Olde English.

Young and stupid is chugging a bottle of Boone's Farm. Worst hangover ever.

Think we have tons of them. Tried it years ago...meh

Locations could vary on their supplies, so I can see how a franchised joint like Marco's might be hit or miss. As far as I know (and have been told), the Charleston metro area here is literally their hottest market so that probably accounts for some of the taste difference. Also depends on how good store management is, obviously.

Were you listening to rap music at the time? Rap guided some of my alcoholic purchases back in the day.

Old Town Pizza is very nostalgic

 

[PDXFonz]

Oh damn, my bad. I thought Lebron bought into MOD.

I bet this dog bought a lot of mod Pizza thinking Lebron was making it back in the kitchen.

and Rainier

Yeah, but at least Rainier used to have pretty good commercials.

Olympia had the best commercials ever.

He ordered the pie with 10x cheese, excess travel, add bricks.

Ever notice that Olympia's slogan is "it's the water"? lol

 

[dead247]

that's hilarious

 

[Lanny]

Yeah, but can he chase intruders out of the house and bark like hell? No? Then what's he good for?

I see, he's good at pissing off the dog.

I used to live in Brooklyn, the only real good pizza I used to like in Portland was escape from New York on nw 23rd.

Hot lips was ok as well, but the only thing that was proper new New York style, was on 23rd

Chicago style pizza is nice if you like a casserole. It's not a pizza however, you will not find anything like it in Italy. It's basically old school fusion food and has a place, but technically, I do not think of it as pizza

No Italian food is lke the pizza we serve here. Italian pizza sucks.

Escape from NY Pizza on NW 23rd was great. Loved their pizza. Are they out of business now?

I have not lived in Portland for 5 years now, that's why I can not tell you for sure what they are like now. I believe they are still around.

As for Italian pizza, you go to Napoli and they're pizza is not totally different from NY style pizza, you can see that they are different interpretations of the same thing. Chicago style pizza, imho, is something else (good in it's open right)

No, but I soon purchased a leisure suit. And I wore it proudly. I told you I was stupid.

I like a crispy crust though. Not for everyone.

...as @Shaboid already mentioned, Paddington's in Salem is the very best cracker bottom crispy style crust pizza in the world.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Salem is the very best cracker bottom

That should be Salem's motto.

"Our crackers have the best bottoms!"

Better than MOD's pizza?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So many pizza places and not one of them has ping pong.

Not even Pong.

...absolutely, but they are in different categories IMO. MOD is more like thin and crispy, almost flakey. Paddington's is more like Pietro's, but 100 times better I've heard this called "lumberjack" style pizza before. It's definitely only around the Northwest +/-
