Bittersweet to be writing this review as I will not be able to go here again due to them closing. Glad I was able to make one more stop here once we saw they announced the closure. Fond memories of slab from great beer events held during Maine Beer Week years ago. Along those lines, you could always count on a great taplist with beers from Maine and further. This was a favorite spot of my wife and I to grab some slab style pizza with a brew. Their thin crust pizzas were solid as well, but my favorite food option here has always been the meatball sandwich. It seems to be tough times for many Portland restaurants so if you have favorites spots go out and support them! Thanks for all the memories slab!

Not kid friendly. Waitress abandoned us. Unfortunately and accidentally ordered 2 $45/ bottle beers… at a pizza joint.

Got a recommendation for sicilian pie and came out as decribed light fluffy.
Also got a 12" plain that was good.

I was on my way out of Portland when I decided to stop at Slab Sicilian Street Food to get a Sicilian slice of pizza since it had been a while since I had a good Sicilian style pizza.
It has a modern vibe that approaches modern, industrial. I think it was technofunk music playing in the background, but it was relaxing.
To my surprise, hummus was on the menu as a special which was served with pickled cauliflower and carrot wedges. So I ordered that and I ordered a slice of the mushroom Sicilian style pizza.
I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of the acidity of the pickled cauliflower with the hummus. It felt like I was tasting something completely different from any hummus I had before.
The pizza came out, and I was immediately impressed. It looked like the more sophisticated cousin of any Sicilian slice I ever had before. The crust was crispy outside, yet fluffy inside. I was thinking that this crust would make a really good French toast. I enjoyed this pizza so much I was eating it with both hands.
All in all, a great place to stop and eat. My visit has left me curious about the other items on their menu. It makes me want to know more about how they make their food.

I visited a relative recently for a get together and she served Slabs pizza. The thicker pizza was quite delicious, albeit the crusts could have been a little less burnt. But the flat pizza shown in my photo was so burnt on the bottom, this pizza was left in everyone’s plate. Never having eaten in person at Slabs, I cannot rate the service and atmosphere.

I really wanted to give this place a perfect 5… the food was outstanding, just the right flavors and textures; the service, just didn’t cut it for me. We waited for our check for over 20 minutes, the waitress just wouldn’t make eye contact, it got busy and she got busy, I get it, but just a little eye contact here and there goes a long ways.

3 stars for the pizza, 4 stars for ease of ordering online and pickup. 3.5 stars overall. It’s decent enough and fast. Sauce and toppings are run of the mill. The crust is airy and a little sour, basically akin to white bread w slight sourdough ness which I like but don’t want to know caloric information about. Toast charges a 3% fee for take out FYI.
Slab is excellent Sicilian pizza. I would give it five stars if it were not so close to Miccuci's Grocery Co. which is very close by.
On a 10 point DP scale I would give Slab a 7.8 and Miccuci's Grocery Co. an 8.6 for the pizza itself. However, Slab has a far better atmosphere and ability to sit and eat with other menu options.
What makes Miccuci's Grocery Co. pizza better in my opinion is it’s not as dense and filling, the crust is more airy and less filling.

The staff was very welcoming and the food was DELICIOUS!! It’s hard to find restaurants with vegan cheese so we were pleasantly surprised. We got the vegan arrabiata pizza which was 10/10 and the vegan cheese slab which was also 10/10.

2 inch thick pillowy giant slabs of pizza aren’t anywhere but here. When I say pillowy, you won’t find a lighter airier Sicilian slice anywhere. Don’t listen to the haters, go NOW!
