Interesting toppings and a funky split-level dining area have made this a Portland favorite since 1974.

Old Town Pizza offers old world dining and delivery. Whether dining at Old Town Pizza's historic restuarant location or having your meal delivered the old fashioned way (by tricycle), it's always good. But, beware. Some say the restaurant is haunted.

In Short – A grand, wood bar and the order-window dominate the entry of this quaint eatery. Multicolored, stained glass lights hang over standard tables and booths. But families prefer sitting living-room style on antique sofas and chairs around coffee tables. Traditional and customized pies are served with medium-thick crusts, well-seasoned sauce and fresh toppings. The pesto special, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta, pesto sauce and pine nuts, and Caesar salad--big, fresh and garlicky--are popular items.

Good pizza only when made to order
by zentraveler
I've had decent pizza here before when ordering a complete pizza. It's not the best I've had, but certainly not terrible, either. The atmosphere of the place is nice, especially at night.
What IS terrible is the couple of times I've dropped by during lunchtime to have a slice or two, which has been dry and cardboard-like. Do yourself a favor and avoid their pizza by the slice, unless you know it has just been cooked.
- Pros: Convenient location and neat atmosphere
- Cons: Their pizza by the slice get stale quickly

Mostly Mediocre

The reviews on this place are clearly mixed, but we had a discount coupon and gave it a try. The place has "atmosphere", to be sure, but the food was disappointing. Arrived on a Friday evening to find they were out of caesar salad, out of root beer (!), and a 40 minute wait for pizza. Ordering is confusing - stand in line to order, then take a playing card and head for the bar, where you order drinks and pay for the lot. Then compete for a table to open up. Tables are cramped with little leg room. Seats are quaint, but uncomfortable.
Ordered a salad and veggie pizza. Salad arrived reasonably promptly, but very uninspired. Pizza arrived much later, not horrible but not that good (definitely better than Dominos, worse than many). Service OK but busy and stressed.
Parking is a big problem, as noted elsewhere. The facility may be historic, but it is also run down. I don't think they have invested in it in decades.
Overall, an unremarkable experience. They have better pizza in the freezer case at Safeway. If you go, go for the "atmosphere", but not for the food!
- Pros: The place does have personality
- Cons: Tired and remarkable
