Best you'll find in PDX

by kumm

This location nine times out of ten has good pizza - sometimes, depending on the cook or something, the pizza is inconsistent. Overall, really good pizza and daily specials in-store. Twice on delivery, pizza tasted great, but they'd mixed up our order (and whole pies are way overpriced).

Wish they would stop (re)using gross trays. Super unsanitary. Glad they stopped collecting the trays, at least, on top of the garbage can. It's not NY pizza, but they're not trying to be.

• Pros: great daily specials. carbonated coke is a bonus!
• Cons: reuse of wooden trays is unsanitary; slightly overpriced but mostly worth it

repeated order confusion

by cellen

We used to get our pizza from Blind Onion, until they closed their downtown location. We were devested until we found the Hot Lips pizza near PSU. Our first order was wonderful, and we were hooked. Our second order took 90 minutes to deliver and we live only four blocks away. Our third order took 2 hours to deliver. Both times we were quoted 45 minutes. Our fourth order was forgotten. So we called again and they cooked us a new pizza and priority delivered it with a discount. It was still raw, because they rushed it so quickly and didn't cook it all the way. We decided that perhaps the PSU location might be incompetent, but we didn't want to give up because the pizza is really good. So, we tried to order as a pick up item from the new location by the Civic condo building on Burnside. We called in our order and went to pick it up. They cooked entirely the wrong pizza for us. The person we ordered from had left, so no one knew what could have happened. So, they made us a new pizza and we had to wait 25 minutes for it -- making it yet another 90 minute experience. And no discount was offered. I am sure you can understand that no matter how good the pizza is, and no matter how much we like it, we are ready to give up on Hot Lips.

awesome pizza!

by BriannaK

With brightly painted walls, diffrent dining levals and an outside deck, Hot lips would be my first choice in dining out to pizza. The slices are very large and freshly made, and the breadsticks are huge! Hot lips isnt dirty but with mitch-mached table clothes, and diffrent sized tables you really get a laid-back and 'homey' feeling. The staff was was very nice, which made ordering easy and fast. Plus the prices are very reasonable! its an afforadable lunch or dinner!

• Pros: affordable, large slices!
• Cons: pizza goes fast, might have to wait
