There are Portland restaurants that are simply iconic and this is one of them. Nestled amongst the boutiques and hipsters of NW 23rd is this grungy amazing New York pizza parlor. I have heard people complain it's dirty, the staff is rude and there is no place to sit. If not sure what people expect from a pizza place called Escape from New York. Part of what makes this place so good and endearing is the fact that it was literally ripped from a NY burrough by the pizza gods and in their infinite wisdom placed down in the heart of upscale Portland to keep us in line, to keep us grounded and spread the gospel of amazing thin pizza by the slice.

Pros: Most Amazing Pizza ever...and cheap.

Cons: Parking Parking Parking Parking Parking. You should probably take the bus.

Where to Sit

Try to get a window seat, or during the summer, a sidewalk table. Both spots make for prime people watching.
