Tried the grand royal and the green knight. Grand royal was honestly not great…just very bland. The green knight was much better… lemon ricotta was amazing . It’s really 25 -26 bucks for a pizza that will feed two.

Such a fun place! Loved the detroit style pizza, and salads were great. And, even though mostly beer forward, they had a great wine list! Alicia, Nicole and Justin were amazing - they were friendly and made some great suggestions for our stay! Thanks to all for adding some fun to our trip!

We got a smoothie like blueberry beer and it tastes so good. We loved it. They make all their beers right there. I got 3 glasses and I hope they had a branch back in LA.

Great find. Their Detroit deep dish pizza was amazing and their beers are always awesome and full of flavor.

A little spendy for a pizzeria/taproom, but worth it. The pizza is on par with the exemplary offerings of Lazy Days and Assembly. The Lightbound Pilsner is the standout beer here, able to compete with the likes of Occidental, Wayfinder, Von Ebert, and pFriem.

My favorite pizza place in Portland- we (Fraley + Company) designed the space so naturally we love the atmosphere! The pizzas are varied and all delicious, absolutely love the crust. Ruse beer never disappoints, the Shifting Dreams rice lager is my personal favorite. The craft cocktails are delicious, try the Psychic Reading next time you visit.

Tried the double vision pizza. In my opinion the ratio of crust to cheese and sauce was off, too much cheese. The entire pizza was pretty sweet overall which was surprising. Really generous helping of pepperoncini, probably too much of equal to amount of pepperoni. Tries the ranch and that was fine. Overall preferred Ranch PDX for similar style pizza and for ranch specifically. Music is like folk country but nothing our table enjoyed. Atmosphere is cute with the art lights and plant. Service was okay. Really attentive to start to get our orders and then totally fell off. Didn’t check in after dropping off pizza. Eventually came back to pick up everything . Water is given by Carafes which is nice over a water station but we never got a refill despite being there for a while and finishing our water while still eating the pizza. Not very busy to not have refills or check ins. No need to return

The food is far beyond ALL expectations! I told the gal I was with that I’d not had any good pizza since I had left Phx since 2017, and she assured me to simply keep my mind open.
She ordered the salad, which, when she served it onto my plate I asked where the dressing was. She laughed at me (not in a mean way) and told me it WAS on there; to simply just eat. And, voila, it WAS delicious! Then came the cheesy bread…need I say more? Whoa! Mind was/is officially blown!!! I told her then and there, as crude as this is, “this bread is better than some orgasms!!!” and, damn, I fully meant it! Truly, so many different flavors of cheese! More than I had ever experienced!!!! My goodness! Wow!
Now, the pizza came out a bit faster than I had preferred, personally, as I was still relishing pulling the cheese apart and playing with it, but when it was sitting there, I just HAD to! Now, I’m certainly
NO food connoisseur, so I had/have many: Number 1, the only square pizza I had ever seen was with a real cut-throat kinda place that I won’t name, but it was horrible; plus, not worth any honorable mention! But, then to say a dollop of the sauce on the top was just way “too cute” to even stand!
I cannot adequately find the words (quite a rare thing for me, believe it or not!) to express nor state how purely impressed I am, in and out, with the quality of the food, staff and service, every facet! Even Jeff, the Chef, came to personally greet us! Made me, as a newcomer, (for sure to return, frequently) feel welcomed and appreciated!
Thank you to one and ALL!
Oh!!!! And, are you kidding?????? The ambiance???? “To die for!!!!!”

Delicious, simple, high quality pizzas. Staff are awesome. It’s kind of heavy on the cheese, so, FYI.
