Portland | Proof Pizza

🍕 This pizza joint called Proof Pizza is totally my happy place! Every time I pass by, the aroma wafting from the oven just reels me in. Their pizza absolutely nails that "crispy outside, soft inside" texture—that satisfying crunch when you take the first bite, with the charred, crispy crust shattering between your teeth, while the inside remains as soft and stretchy as a cloud. That contrast is just incredible! 😋 My all-time favorite is the Truffle Mushroom flavor! The moment you open the box, the scent of truffle oil hits you right in the face. Melted mozzarella blankets the crust, lightly browned and bubbly, while the mushroom slices soak up all that rich truffle sauce. Every bite is like a walk through an aromatic forest. They're super generous with the ingredients, and the truffle sauce becomes even more fragrant after baking, paired with a garlic cream base—it's so umami it feels like your taste buds are throwing a party! 🍄 With pizza this good, you gotta pair it with a local Portland craft beer! My go-to is the citrus IPA from the brewery down the street. The crisp maltiness cuts through the richness of the cheese, and the bubbles bursting on your tongue carry the lingering truffle notes. This combo is a match made in heaven! 👑 Weekend nights here with friends, sharing a sizzling pizza on a wooden table, icy beer glasses sweating... before you know it, the whole pie is gone. I'll never forget the first time I brought my parents here. They used to turn up their noses at "Western fast food," but they ended up fighting over the last slice! Now, every video call, my dad asks, "How's that place with the crispy crust..." Their open kitchen lets you watch the chefs tossing dough into the stone oven, and that sizzle when the dough hits the hot surface? Pure foodie ASMR! 🔥 #PortlandFood #Oregon #Portland #TravelPortland
