Pizzicato Pizza Mt. Tabor — Restaurant in Portland

I’ve been coming to Pizzacato for decades and always had a great experience. Sadly the service has gone way done hill at this location. Food fortunately still the same! Sorry for the novel here but it was pretty bad! I arrived (with 4 very well mannered children) and checked in about a pizza that should have been ready 10 minutes prior. They told me it was almost ready and I said I’d be waiting at the outside seating area. 30 min later, I went inside to see what the scoop was. The girl at the front was annoyed that I went outside right before they realized they lost the ticket. (Like that’s my fault?!) you’d think maybe they could walk outside and tell me? Perhaps offer slices or even bring the salad. Anyway I headed back outside to wait even longer. Eventually it came (50 min after expected) but no salad. I had to ask if it was coming.. they forgot (no apologies) Then they brought out a small box and I had ordered a large, to go along with the large pizza. Again girl at the front didn’t apologize and acted annoyed and she even went in to check on the computer and tell me I was wrong because it said a small. She was the one that took my order over the phone. Like I had control over what she put in the computer?! Ugh! She needs to know some basic customer service standards before being the one to great people and at...

It seems that there are now a plethora of eateries offering gluten free pizza nowadays-and I'm not complaining! But with so many options available I have found myself on the hunt for something bigger and better. While I've only been here once before, I will say that I was SHOCKED at how delicious the gluten free pizzas are. Is it the quality of ingredients? The type of ingredients? I don't know but it's amazing. True, the crust is thin, like most GF pizza crusts are, but it doesn't taste or feel any different than eating a slice of East coast style pizza, if that makes any sense. The cheese is heaven, the sauce is robust, and all other ingredients are wonderfully savory and fresh. I got the classic pepperoni with bell peppers and purple onion. The portions are very generous, despite the GF pizza only coming in a 12in size. I really hope I didn't just get lucky and this is how their pizzas always are because I and my family will definitely be...

This Pizzicato location is excellent. Absolutely incredible staff and seriously delicious food. Every time I have been in, it’s been a win.

I have been gobbling Pizzicato at many locations for most all of my life, and I have my favorite gobbles. Recently, at this location I discovered the Copa sandwich, absolutely delectable and is a slamming deal with a generous side salad and flavor for daaaays. In a time where drive through costs oodles, this is a far superior choice.

This evening in particular, the staff were so kind and helpful when I rushed in a bit too close to closing to get some much needed dinner for my mother who lives across the street at Mount Tabor. PSA — don’t be a jerk like me, arriving at the eleventh hour and ordering food, that is generally not it. But on this special occasion, the staff were so gracious that it really made an impression. 10 stars out of 5 for these folks.

Give them...
