Portland, Oregon: Apizza Scholls
Clockwise from top left: Apizza Scholl's just before 4 p.m. and there's only one person in line; the shop is decorated with pictures of famous pizzerias, including FAMOUS RAY'S!?!; the amatriciana, with pancetta and onion. [Photographs: Adam Kuban] Apizza Scholls 4741 Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland OR 97215 (at SE 47th Avenue; map); 503-233-1286; apizzascholls.com Pizza Style: Neapolitan-American—NOT Naples-Neapolitan Oven Type: Electric(!) Bakers Pride Notes: Expect long lines/wait time to get in. On the various blogs and boards, people grumble about this consistently. Is it worth the wait? I would say yes, but only you can decide. Tip: Round up a...Street Food Profiles: Wy'east Pizza, Portland, Oregon
Another installment from my recent pizza tour of parts of the western U.S. Here, a pizza report and a Street Food Profile all in one—from perhaps the best city for street-fooding in the U.S. Wy'east Pizza 3131 SE 50th Avenue, Portland OR 97206 (SE Tibbets/Kelly, parking lot of Ruthie's Weaving Studio; map); wyeastpizza.com Pizza Style: Thin-crust, almost New York–Neapolitan Oven Type: Small propane-fired brick oven The Skinny: Great pizza FROM A TRAILER. Yes. A trailer. Could use a little more flavor to the crust, but the simple and excellent toppings make up for that a bit. Good crisp-chewy crust. Caveat:...Portland, Oregon: Escape from New York Pizza
[Photographs: Adam Kuban] Escape from New York Pizza 622 NW 23rd Avenue, Portland OR 97210; map); 503-227-5423 Pizza Style: New York–style Oven Type: Steel-deck gas oven The Skinny: A stand-up stand-in for a New York–style slice — but in Portland! Price: $2.95 for cheese (plain) slice; $3.50, pepperoni It's long, narrow, and often crowded. The folks behind the counter are reputed to have a bit of attitude but are actually pretty nice. It's cash-only and is open late. Sound New York enough for you yet? Well, the slices deliver on the promise implied in this joint's name. Yes, Escape...Portland, Oregon: Ken's Artisan Pizza
You're probably wondering why it's been a bit quiet around here around Slice lately. Well, I'm on a crazy mission. I'm eating pizza in various western states this week on a whirlwind trip of five cities. Seriously, it's been nonstop travel with barely time to offload pics from my cameras. I'm just now catching up. Ken's Artisan Pizza (top) is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Southeast Portland, a couple blocks south of Burnside and the more hoppin' part of SE 28th Avenue. That doesn't stop people from lining up before the place opens for creations like the Bacon Pie...Pipe-Organ Pizzerias Briefly Explained
Yesterdays' Arizona pizza post and its mention of Organ Stop Pizza inspired me to do a little more digging on this surreal combination of pizza and pipes. That there were ever—and still are—pipe-organ pizzerias is something that never ceases to amaze me. But I'm also saddened that these places are quickly disappearing. Above, Dean Cook, former house musician at the now-defunct Angelino's in San Jose, California, briefly explains the history of this unlikely pairing before launching in to a rousing number. In short Cook says that around 1958, a Haywood, California, man installed a Mighty Wurlitzer organ after having...Bicycle That's a Combination Beer Hall, Pizza Delivery Vehicle, and DJ Booth
[Photograph: Elly Blue on Flickr] Portlanders are mad about bikes. As Bike Snob puts it, "Portland's chief export is now officially freakish cycling." From themed rides (Michael Jackson death ride, a solstice ride) to bicycle and unicycle polo, there's nothing that these folks won't do on a bike. Which is why it did not surprise me to see the Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) beer-and-pizza bicycle. This thing carries two kegs under a built-in inlaid-wood bar, has a rear rack that carries a stack of pizzas, and even has a wood pannier that's actually a sound system. Built by Metrofiets,...Interview: Robbie Augspurger of Wolf Choir Explains 'VIDEO PIZZA'
Earlier this week, the blog Eat Me Daily turned me on to VIDEO PIZZA, a hypnotizing one-hour video of a spinning pepperoni pizza. I initially didn't believe it was real, but it did have a webpage and a link to buy the DVD, so I bit. Yesterday the mailman dropped off my fresh, hot copy. That answered that: It's real. But I had so many more questions. I contacted Robbie Augspurger of the conceptual art trio Wolf Choir, which produced VIDEO PIZZA. Robbie was kind enough to answer.... What inspired VIDEO PIZZA? Some friends and I were watching Video...Comment of the Week: Portland-Area Intel
Not everybody follows the comments on Slice as closely as some of us do. For those slackers, we occasionally highlight a really good piece of intel that might otherwise go overlooked. Today, some Portland-area wisdom from Extramsg, who blogs at Extramsg.com. —The Mgmt. Originally appeared on "Alan Richman Names Top 25 Pizzerias in U.S.": I'd really be interested to see the 109 pizza joints he went to. It does appear the NW got snubbed.IMO, you get to a certain level of quality and it becomes a question of palate. But prior to that, there are a lot of relatively objective...Where Do We Get a Good Slice in Portland, Oregon?
