Story behind my favorite childhood pizza joint

[MickZagger]

Denicola's on Powell.

Really? Weird. I've been to Denicola's a couple times. I always get pasta though.

They got the Original Taco House right there as well thats off the heezy fo sheezy.

 

[MickZagger]

Just passed that yesterday! I looked back around and said to myself, "Man, that place looks like a dump!"

They sure must make up for that in the quality of food they serve.

Were you at the titty bar next door?

 

[MickZagger]

So what does that mean? Just a lot of sauce, a really light sauce, or a lot of really light sauce? Haven't really heard that one before...

A lot of fire roasted stuff. I like mine with fresh mozzarella.

Nah man......that place is known for their pizza!

anybody want to help me remember a place that was on SE 82nd and Market, just east of Bridger Elementary? It wasn't Stark Street (that one was closer to 205) but it was something like Oregon Pizza Co. or something. Grandpa used to take the family out there, get his pitcher of beer and a pizza while I played pac-man on the sit-down arcade table. I'm sure it's changed hands (and names?) a few times, but it was my favorite childhood pizza joint.

The taco pizza at pietros is ridiculously good

I agree!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

If you ever want one of those pizzas which require a hand-truck to take out of there, try Juliano's in the Couv.

Oh, my...

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The Organ Grinder

thats a great name for a strip club

 

[drexlersdad]

...it is like a semi thin style cracker bottom crust. I've also heard it called "Lumberjack Pizza". What the hell kind of pizza is made in Detroit or St. Louis that is unique???

by the way oregon/portland/northwest/lumberjack style pizza didnt give me much in a google search

 

[BlazerWookee]

I loved me some Shakey's as a kid. I could sit and watch the bands play for hours...

And the hats. I loved the hats!

...thanks! I suppose the NW style is most similar to St. Louis - not sure about the yeast aspect though

 

[RR7]

That St. Louis style is just stolen from thin crust in Chicago.

Best Pizza around. My wife disagrees, her fav is American Dream.

American Dream is bomb. I'm a big fan of Baby Doll pizza (fairly new, on Stark). Hot Lips. Abby's. Pietro's. Escape from New York.

But I always took Zags as a Chuck E. Cheese pizza kinda guy.

There was something by the name of Oregon Pizza Co. (or something similar).

There was also the Pizza Baron out further, but I think that was on Division.

 

[porkchopexpress]

Famous Bob's was the spot back in the day. i think it closed up shop sometime around 2000, maybe a year or 2 before that.

Shit, now you guys are talking my ol' stompin' grounds. That's my hood.

I spent so many evenings eating at The Original Taco House and Denicola's...... I almost stopped going to OTH when they changed their guacamole, but they brought it back pretty quickly after so many complaints.

But do try Denicola's pizza. It's pretty bomb.

First date with the Mrs....... Blind Onion on 33rd and Broadway. I actually tried to pay and my debt card got declined!!!!

Blind Onion is bomb, but a little too heavy for me.

Oh shit, forgot about Blind Onion. Many a lunches in HS were there. Only on sunny days though since you had to buy the pizza out of the kitchen door since it's a bar.

I can't decide which would be funnier: Taking this literally, or finding that it's some sort of euphemism...

I've only seen Abby's in the Bend area. I wasn't a big fan.

Isn't there an Abby's in Newport?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yes, there is one in Newport. And Newberg.
