In Short
Sixties concert posters, wall murals with huge peace signs and tile mosaic installations make this large space a haven for SE dwellers of all varieties that are seeking a mellow vibe. Slices are good when hot from the oven, so order accordingly. Best to order a whole pie, made fresh with any of the many toppings, ranging from feta cheese and artichoke hearts to old standards like sausage and pepperoni. Calzones are a hearty option.

No, I am not a pizza expert, but I know what I like. The other negative reviews are spot-on. The service was O.K., but the pizza was not! I ordered a large with half cheese and the other half mushrooms and onions. It arrived in 9 minutes. Quick, perhaps too quick. The crust was not good, the bottom was both crunchy and chewy at the same time, not sure how they did this. It was not possible to eat it without utensils. I would call it a mess. Papa Murphys is better and half the price. We left around 6 o'clock, just as the place was filling up. I can't figure why this place is popular. I have had good pizza in Portland. This was the worst.

I live in the neighborhood and have tried to support this restaurant, but it is just not good pizza. The owner has always been a nice guy, and it seems like the pizza was better a few years ago. But the slices are bad and often seem like they have been sitting there for a long, long time. The crust is dry, as are the toppings. Whole pizzas are a little better, but not much. The salad is terrible - anyone can open a bag of greens and dump them on a plate, which is what their salads are. It's great to live in a neighborhood where you can walk to so many restaurants, and I would love to have the only pizza place be even mediocre, but IBP isn't even close to that good. I wish the owner would read the reviews and find a way to improve the quality of the food, because it's close to home and a great space.
