Portland Pie Company — Restaurant in Bangor

I've had bad to mediocre pizza my whole life (mainly an Arizona thing, pizza just isn't good there) until I had a Portland Pie Pizza. I've yet to have a bad pizza from here and they all taste really good. The cheese is very good and the dough tastes just as good. I'm so happy they have so many vegetarian options and on the menu. The vegetarian options are clearly labeled which is great for me! I've never had beyond sausage as an option on a pizza before and it was so nice to include that, as it does taste good. I've never once been worried about the beyond sausage being accidentally excluded and instead actual sausage being included in its place. Which is one thing I've been concerned about with eating at restaurants, this place does not concern me.

The garlic dough is really tasty and goes well with any toppings. I'm always excited to get a PPC pizza when I can as it's never been bad. I do think online ordering can be a little funky. As I know with one pizza I got, I wanted fresh mozzarella on top including the four cheese blend, but instead got only mozzarella and no cheese, so it was mainly red sauce and the mozzarella chunks. I don't think they offer both together or at least not online anymore, so I wish it was more clear when it would substitute that or that it's not an offering. Also what toppings can be applied to a whole pizza Vs. a half pizza. Like online the ricotta cheese has to be on the whole pizza or it doesn't apply. Might just be the online site.

Other than that the pizza is always fresh. When I come in for lunch for a single slice and ask to have a piece not touching the pepperoni the staff is always helpful and nice about it. The staff are kind and never give off a bad attitude. You guys are doing a great job :)

Really the best pizza place I've ever been to and...

My partner and I arrived, and they seated us at a small table in the middle of the dining room, where we were in the way of multiple tables and staff. It took 20 minutes to actually get service. We felt a little enclosed and tired of being in people's way, so we asked our waitress to move to the vacant table that had been empty the entire 20 minutes we were there. She said "That should be fine!" So we moved. Not 5 minutes after, whom I assumed to be the manager, approached us in a rude demeanor stating "Just so you know, we usually could not switch tables in the middle of dinner 'rush' and that it's usually not allowed." As we tried to explain to him that the waitress had said it was fine, he fought with us stating "That's not what I heard, the waitress said you asked. I'm getting two conflicting stories" and as we tried to explain, he wasn't having it - he kept arguing us, insinuating we were lying. My partner had asked him to speak kinder to us and he rolled his eyes and walked away. That was when I decided to leave. We did not deserve to be treated that way. If he had went about it in a more polite way, to make us feel welcome, with still doing his job, we would've...
