Awesome food and drink. Great service!

Best pizza I have ever had In my life✌️

The pepperoni pizza and the bolenase pizza

My husband and I stopped here to dine during our stay in Portland. The atmosphere of this place made us return the second and third time. We loved the wood fire pizza especially the margherita one. The meatball appetizer was also very good. We had the same waitress all three times and she was great. She was very helpful in choosing a beer since my usual is a local from my area that they didn’t have. I love that you can see the pizzas being made and cooked. The wood fire ovens are always cool to watch. Thank you guys for making us feel at home keep up all the good work. We will see you on our next trip

Amazing food and cocktails, the service is extremely professional and friendly 10/10 would recommend this place to any one!

Excellent pizza, atmosphere, music & bartender! Don’t pass this place up! Eat here the next time you are nearby. I have to write 100 characters

This place was a great later in the evening stop. Huge calzone. Perfect wood fired pizza and tasty wings.

Fantastic gem downtown Portland. Service was quick and food was AWESOME. Ordered the leaf salad. It was very large and very tasty. We ordered the mushroom pizza and it was BOMB. Finally, ordered a tiramisu and it kicked every other tiramisu I’ve ever had in the butt. Great place, good food, friendly staff. A must try!

Great place for a Pre-game if you're seeing a show at the State Theater! They have AMAZING food and the staff is super friendly!! The drinks are good as well!!

Not a reliable choice.I ordered take-out online, and I received a text that pizza will be done in an hour (9pm), and that they will text me when it's ready.I assumed it wouldn't be ready in time, it was Friday after all, so I wasn't surprised that I didn't get a text at 9pm.By 9:30 I decided to walk there and check it out, assuming it's not ready yet, I'll wait, it can't be much longer.Pizza was apparently ready, just nobody bothered to let me know. The place wasn't extremely busy either, at least not for dinning.When I opened the box, it looked like a mess. There was barely any prosciutto (See the pic) And the worst part - There was a hair on it.I wanted so badly for it to be mine, so I can still enjoy my pizza, but it was well mixed in with cheese. Probably got stuck when cheese cold down.We paid extra for prosciutto. It looks like someone just tossed some on top in the end, kind of eyeballing it. Not enough for pizza this size. I regret adding it to the order.Conclusion: Accidents happen, doesn't imply it's a bad place to get a pizza, and chances are you might have a great time and enjoy your experience, other reviews definitely suggest that, and it's probably true. I had lazzari at my friend's house many times before, and it always came in one piece, warm, no hair, so this was a fluke most likely.But I personally don't plan on coming back because:They made me feel like they are doing me a favor by making that pizza.They let my pizza cool down, didn't let me know when it was done, and I was waiting in a bar close by to go home with it.The mess? I genuinely have no idea how they made it into a mess that it was when I opened the box. Maybe the cook hates me personally, and he was sending me a message haha? I don't believe I know anyone who works there tho lol.Overall, I'd rather eat dominos.
