Say what you will, it's still the best thin, greasy, fold-in-half slice you're going to find in this town. They really ought to be recycling or composting all those plates by now though.
I've been going to Escape since I was 12 and now I am taking my kids there. It's a Friday night family tradition...we love it!
Worst service EVER!. I see my friend has already posted, but I thought I'd chime in as well. I was out with my friend for her birthday and this was the place she chose. The guy who helped us was a complete as*hole. Maybe he thought he was being funny, but if that's his idea of customer service....I'll never go back. If it would have been my birthday, I would have told him his an as*hole and walked out. I asked if I could get an extra topping and was told "no". Really? You don't add toppings to pizza? I'm sorry you didn't have the time to help me. I don't have a lot of time in my day, but I thought for sure I could take the time to not help you as well.…
What happened to good ol' Escape from NY Pizza?. As a Portland native, when it came time to decide where to go for my birthday dinner the other day, of all the restaurants in Portland I chose Escape from NY Pizza. I went with the memory of delicious pizza and chill pizza dudes chattin' it up and enjoying life. Instead, much to my sadness and surprise, I was met with some of the worst customer service I have ever received at any restaurant anywhere. I asked if I could choose my slice, and the counter guy said no because it was too busy (there was only one guy waiting behind us). My friend chimed in that it was my birthday and to cut some slack. Response: "rules are rules," and he even had me show my ID to prove it actually was my birthday. Proof didn't change a darn thing tho. So in the end he had time to check my ID but not give me the extra second to point at a slice, give me sh*t later for only getting water when I declined any purchased beverage, and was genuinely a dick. You can't rely on quality of pizza alone; customers will drop like flies when you're the type of business that can't even give a smile to someone on their birthday.…
