Not gonna lie, the big MEATBALLS sign on the front of the building is what drew us in, but then after looking at pizza pics on their Google page, we knew we had to come back. Giant pizza and a large Caesar salad fed the four of us more than comfortably. Oh, and we got the spicy meatball to share/try. It was all so tasty we finished it all and rolled ourselves back to our car. Guys working inside were super nice too. Highly recommend!

I was very anxious to try the Vegan meatball sandwich having heard good things. What a disappointment. The taste was pretty good. The bun was so overcooked, nearly burned and dry. If the bread had been good, it would have been quite good, i imagine. Guess that's a bad cook and unfortunate. I likely won't go back.

I ordered off Postmates and forgot to add a second Nonna’s Special. (Click to read further.)Postmastes told me I needed to contact the store to add a second item.When I called the store to add a second they told me that they could not do that and I had to do it in the app or cancel and order again.I told them the app says it will charge me for the cancelled order since they started making it.They told me they had not started making it and when the person I was on the phone with asked for confirmation, that person in the background dismissively told them the order was not being prepared and to tell me I was “wrong”. The person I was on the phone with did not tell me I was “wrong” but did convey the message.Anyways, Postmates charged me because the restaurant did in fact accept the order and Postmates basically told me to kick rocks when I tried to contact them about it.I did place and receive the second order. The food was OK. Meatballs and Garlic knots were pretty good. The pasta was over cooked well beyond al dente.Overall I am disappointed in the lackluster food quality after being treated dismissively and lied to. I hope the $24 the business gets to keep after accepting my order and telling me to cancel it and place another one helps keep the business afloat.

Tried the Margarita pizza (sauce and toppings flavor was good, crust was meh). The Costanza sandwich was very good! Had gluten free pasta with the vodka cream sauce, it was very good (just the right amount of spice and flavor).

I got a spaghetti to go and asked to make sure that the meatballs were not just thrown in from the refrigerator. I got luke warm meatballs along with very over cooked noodles, mushy. Actually the entire boxed spaghetti was only hot in spots, when stirred around made the food just luke warm. What's so hard about giving people hot food?This place use to be great, but it seems to not be very good now.

Vegan sub is small and pretty awful:( completely flavourless meatballs that are falling apart and almost no cheese. No sauce either. It was super disappointing. I actually got an upset stomach after eating it and I’m feeling sick. I really wouldn’t recommend this place..

Love this place! I don’t eat pork and also really appreciate their delicious vegan meatballs. Very tasty food and have always had nice service.

The flavor profiles were awesome. The textures were fantastic. A great quick delicious meal. Perfect portions left me satisfied but not heavy.

Had the gluten free margarita pizza and it was incredible. Wish there was indoor seating. Will be back to try other things!

So delicious and something for everyone! As a vegan and non-vegan household, we were super impressed by the choices offered. The spaghetti is amazing, as are the meatballs-reminded us of Little Italy back in our hometown of NYC. We also ordered garlic knots to go with a home-cooked meal for a dinner party and everyone was raving about the knots! This spot is now a weekly take-out favorite for us and our friends!
Excellent polenta and meatballs. Great selection of meatball types, and the red sauce is also very tasty. Food prep is fast, seating is only outside now.

I used to love this restaurant! As did all of my Mexican colleagues. When I attempted to order on GrubHub tonight, the order came entirely wrong. When I called to share my experience and ask if they could remake our burritos, I was hung up on. I am no longer loyal customer.

We came here off of a recommendation My wife got from a co-worker. My family and I eat pizza weekly and anytime we hear of anywhere that is supposed to be good, we go. It's a 45 minute drive from Forest Grove, it was a Sunday evening around 6:00 or 6:30, starting to get dark in the Portland area around 4:30 so it's definitely getting pretty cool outside. We were looking forward to sitting down to a nice warm pie.We got to the counter and started looking at the different pizza options, and when I asked them what size the pizzas are, the response was "We're out of dough."Whaa? How does a pizza place run out of dough? I mean I guess I understand how they could but it really wasn't that late.Oh well, they did have slices available so we grabbed a few of those, but my wife ordered spaghetti and meatballs for herself. We went outside to wait for our food to get warmed up and noticed there was only outside seating, and only when we went to go sit down did we notice that the tables were all for the neighboring restaurant! There were some park benches available on the curb so that's where we ended up taking a seat. But unfortunately these seats didn't have any lighting or heat.No pizza dough, no indoor seating, no heated outdoor seating, getting pretty chilly outside. This was starting to feel like poor use of a 45 minute drive from Forest Grove.Then the pizzas came out. And I have to say, that even though these were heated up slices, the crust was deliciously thin and crispy on the bottom, cheese and sauce were high quality, and the ingredients tasted great. We all enjoyed our pizza and my wife enjoyed her spaghetti meatballs as well. She let me taste one of the meatballs and it was very delicious. The pasta was maybe slightly overcooked but it didn't really detract from the experience she had. Matteo and I even went back for another slice of meatball.Environmental factors notwithstanding, and the fact that they had run out of dough was a put off, We most definitely need to try this place again when the weather turns good again. It was a nice little neighborhood that really looked perfectly Portland for an outdoor meal.PS**While we were waiting for our food we noticed two guys stroll in to pick up a take out order, each one holding like six pizzas. Someone was having a party I guess and snapped up all the dough. Just bad timing I guess.

Delicious walk-up eatery in Portland! My partner and I had pasta with meatballs and it totally exceeded expectations. Spicy meatball was just the right amount of spice and the garlic knots are Devine. 10:10 recommend and looking forward to another trip to sample their pizza!

The meatball pizza was amazing. Really good stuff. We came kind of late in the day so they didn't have Margarita Pizza. But the beer selection was great. Only suggestion is that they get some more seating.
