Never heard of Detroit style pizza before and usually vegan pizza is rough. Who knew a Egan pizza joint could be a rockstar. Don’t take my word for it. This place is it! Just a heads up to get some heartburn medicine ahead of time even if you never have issues! This food is heavy but can’t wait to visit again!

We had high hopes for Boxcar Pizza but unfortunately we were not overly happy with the meal. In their defense, we did order pizzas and take them to the coast for sunset dinner so we didn’t eat them until about 1.5 hours later, but I’m not sure it would have made us enjoy the pizza too much more. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and bbq wings for an appetizer. The mozzarella sticks were Buddy’s which we have had before and had just eaten the night before from Black Water. They just were not cooked well - the outside was a little too well done and crispy. We also ate these on the drive over so they weren’t sitting at all. The bbq wings also didn’t have the best flavor. For pizza we ordered the Ape Dos Mil and the Four Minute Mile. We didn’t love either pie and the olives on the Four Minute Mile had a terrible flavor. We were super excited about the meal and were left disappointed.

Been coming to this place since they first open. They make some of the best Detroit style pizza in pdx. The flavors are amazing! Got some cheese bread, buffalo wings (forgot to take a picture), and a jalapeño and pepperoni pizza. If you’ve never had Detroit pizza try this place out or if you’ve just like delicious pizza go check this place out!

To be honest I wasn’t expecting much, too many disappointing vegan pizzas in the past but DAMN! This was delicious, different and just what I wanted. Having a variety of, a real variety, of choices was almost too much for me. We got 2 and then wished we’d gotten more. It was just as tasty the next day, cold while visiting a remote area of ONP.

Love this place, been eating here since they opened. The pizza is fantastic, covered in toppings with amazing crispy cheese edges. I have tried everything at least twice but I get my favorites regularly. There are rotating special pizzas which are a really good alternative to the same thing every week.
Boxcar is located in The Zipper so in addition to the limited seating at Boxcar itself there us a large cafeteria and outdoor area to enjoy your meal. You can even take your pizza into the neighboring bar (Paydirt) and eat while you have drinks.
The atmosphere is casual, the pizza is fantastic and the staff are amazing. Highly recommend.

Best pizza in the city! Seitan sausage, lots of garlic, and nutty cheeze, even carnies approve

I still can’t believe it was vegan cheese. The crispy, crunchy edges of this pizza were miraculous. I’m from Detroit and though it’s definitely more artisanal than the pizza of my youth it’s a brilliant update. My husband had the gluten free crust and I think he might have cried a bit with joy.

This place is great. The food is awesome and the seating area in the back is perfect in warmer months. Definitely worth a visit if you are in PDX!

We got the Jimmy pesto and bbq wings. The wings were good too, but holy cow that pizza is amazing.

Very good-sized Detroit style pizzas for a pretty reasonable price! Their cheeseburger pizza was so delicious and they had it out in less than 15 minutes!
A slice & seltzer = $8 and my fave! Love trying the new specials.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had!! I can’t believe how good the gluten free dough was, it was more like a loaded focaccia! I got the Jimmy Pesto (gf) and my partner got the Bianca. Just incredible

Richtige, leckere Deep-dish Pizza. Das Ganze ist wie ein Food-Court angelegt und es gibt einen gemeinsamen Sitzbereich. Coole, entspannte Atmosphäre und gutes Essen!
