Pizzacato Gourmet Pizza

This Portland-based mini-chain serves up sophisticated slices.

In Short
Behind the street-side picture windows, the sleek decor of modern furniture and highly polished floors feels nothing like a typical pizza joint. In keeping with the visuals, the pies are upscale versions of their traditional cousins. Gourmet toppings like spicy shrimp and barbecued chicken are layered atop thin crusts brushed with olive oil and garlic. Rounding out the menu are fresh salads and paninis, complemented by local wines and microbrews.

NEVER LETS ME DOWN!

by portland_mike7456

This place is the best! I love their pizza and it is my favorite choice for pizza. This location is good for eating outside and watching the action on Burnside. Also, you can grab a movie just across the street after or before you eat. I have tried many selections from Pizzicato's menu and have never been disappointed. If you haven't tried this pizza, you are missing out on the best.

• Pros: Great pizza, Decent prices, Active street

Great Pizza

by Eric_Vergin

I'm a guy's guy type of guy that subsists on pizza....a friend turned me off of Pizza Oasis and ON to Pizzicato. I'm never going back. Pizzicato's pies are absolutely the best. And for all those people that complain the crust is soggy on take-out orders...READ THE BOX....it tells you to put the pie in the oven when you get home....then it tastes absolutely perfect!

• Pros: multi-locations, professional service

Pizza for the Gourmet

by MikeKugler

I can't say enough about the thought that has gone into these pizzas. My roommate is a trained chef that used to work at Pizzicato. They care enough about ingredients that they pay extra to import high-tariff cheeses from France even though they know that only a handful of people will ever appreciate it.
