We finally got to try this hole in the wall today and I’m so glad we did! We got the black garlic pizza, hawain pizza a beef sandwich, and the cheesy pesto bread. Everything came out hot and fresh. Best pizza I’ve had in a long time. The roast beef was cooked perfectly. The pesto was fresh. For dessert we got the tiramisu and cannoli and they were so good as well. Service was great and the bathrooms were clean. 10/10 recommend.

As a New Yorker, I am picky about my pizza and PortaVia is REALLY GOOD! Their dough is moist and flavorful, and their sauce is perfectly seasoned. That's what makes a delicious pizza! I drive 45 minutes to satisfy this craving! Thank you, PortaVia, for this New Yorker finally having found satisfactory pizza in Western MA!

We were the first patrons in the restaurant at 4:05pm. They open at 4pm, but the door was locked. It took 55 minutes before we were served our food. My father's meal was cold and my pizza was black (and I mean black) on the bottom. So black that I could not eat it. I'd post a photo of it if there was a way to do so. We asked for boxes to go home and heat up my father's food. I rated them a "1" only because there wasn't a zero. Our first and last visit.

I had requested a table earlier in the day. My wife and I arrived and were promptly greeted and sat. We ordered some Meatballs and a Fig and Arugula pizza along with cocktails. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. The live music in the window was certainly a treat as well.

Stopped in for takeout Friday night. Ordered the Not Your Granny's Chicken sandwich and the tiramisu. Both were AMAZING! I highly recommend this place. The staff were very friendly and everyone there seemed to be having a good time.

Found this place just driving down the street. Not only was it handicap accessible but the owners and staff were very friendly and understanding. Now I grew up on Italian food from Shrewsbury Street, Worcester and in the nineties, Federal Hill.
This place took me back to those fine establishments. The food was superb, cooked and seasoned to perfection with no help from extra condiments.
portaVia is so welcoming, and the food is delicious! The food is absolutely scrumptious - the pizza is crispy and chewy, the meatballs are fantastic, and the Tuscan onion soup is to die for. The staff are immensely friendly. Fully recommend! :)

Owner will threaten you because they cant hear you when you place an order over the phone and when you go inside to order he will keep asking you if you’re okay with a threatening demeanor. Great food owner is vindictive vigilante.

Excellent place. Was pleasantly surprised to find live music playing when we arrived. The food was absolutely excellent. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich that came on a soft, though bread-ie hoagie roll. Fantastic. You can pick the heat level. One of the better chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Great cocktails that you can ask for “grande” if you need a bit more booze. I was with a gluten free person who loved the fact that every category of the menu had a gluten free option. The other bar patrons were very friendly and it was a fun place to be! I’ll be back!
