Great pizza spot! Definitely check out their seasonal toppings as well. Located in a shared space with a fantastic bar in the heart of downtown Portland.

The Detroit style pizza is fantastic. I particularly enjoy the BBQ and Pesto ones. Super psyched they are now open for lunch! You can get pizza by the slice or order a full (50/50 recommended) There is an attached bar, but I'm there for the pizza!

The pizza is delicious, thick, and full of flavor. Sauce is on the top. Pricey but worth it if you're splurging.

I'll start with I don't generally write negative reviews, so I put this together in hopes of it being helpful to customers and owners. Last night I decided to give this new pizza place a try. My first thought before even walking in the door was – “BOLD MOVE”, moving in right next to 10 Barrell and Star Pizza in the old Rouge brewing spot that went out of business a few years back. I wonder what their business strategy and product differentiation will be to set them apart from these solid neighborhood pizza players. Will it be on price, quality, creativity? I was interested to find out…My honest assessment here is that the only thing nice was the renovated space. I found the food quality and flavor below either those of their competitors and at a rather high price of about $30/pizza. The pizza is Detroit style, and in reading the other reviews, some people seem to like it. I’m not sure it’s my thing – overly doughy in my view with little topping. We also got a salad, which came un-dressed, obviously just bag letters with generic cheese and croutons – could have been picked up in a bag at Safeway and I’d have not known the difference.There was no service component. You have to order from the register and then pick your food up as it comes out (don’t get me started on restaurants asking for a tip at the register but having no service).I’d say the only thing nice here was the renovated space – but both Star and 10 have nice spaces too.I want people to be successful in their business ventures – and I think unless these guys give some serious thought to their product offerings, they could be in trouble quickly. In my case next time I’ll just be going back to Star only 2 blocks away.

Decent pizza. 4 slices would have been $30 but a whole pizza with 8 slices was $27. Customer service in the bar area was good but the customer service at the food counter was awful. I would give 3 stars but the customer service made it a 2. No personality and the woman at the counter seemed annoyed. No need to work customer service if normal interactions with customers annoy you.

I'm writing this review for the newly opened Pearl District location because that doesn't have a Yelp page yet, but this review will likely stand for this location as well. Pizza is delicious. Marinara sauce has a nice kick to it, the deep-dish style bread is fluffy and crispy in all the right ways, and the pepperonis pack good flavor. However it is pricy at ~$8 per slice; you would need two for a satisfactory meal and that brings you up already to $16. Sriracha ranch is a tasty condiment, but at $1.00 for a tiny container barely enough for 1 slice, I'd skip it and just load up on parmesan and red pepper flakes. But the worst offender of price gouging is the caesar salad. While the caesar dressing is actually quite good (has a nice tang to it), the amount they give you is so disappointing for the price tag of $8.50. I'd give this a 4 or even a 5 star review if the prices were more reasonable or if they simply gave you more. The caesar salad as given should be $5, the side sauces should be $0.50 each, and the slices should be $6.50.

This might just be my new favorite pizza place in Portland! The special was spinach artichoke pizza and it was amazing. Not to mention their homemade ranch is perfection. And I can't forget the brownies... insanely delicious. Ranch Pizza used to be my favorite, but Wild Child takes the cake for me now.

Well sheesh! As a gigantic fan of Ranch PDX this may be just as good or better. The slices especially pepperoni were excellent. I do wish they had slices of the Maui wowie. However the part the part that is hurting my brain is that the house-made Ranch is better than Ranch PDX which is hard to beat. (Pretty sure it is the dill in it here) I also like the layout and feel of the restaurant a lot.

I feel bad for writing a bad review but I want other folks to know- this is the worst Detroit style pizza I’ve had in Portland. Pizza was only partially covered in cheese and had minimal sauce. The slices reminded me of papa Murphys breadsticks. I feel bad for the folks working here because they seemed very understaffed and were having a bad time. I’ll come back and see if it’s better in the future. The bar this is attached to seems cool but the playlist was loud and bad. Lots of Creed!

Been wanting to try this place for a while now. It's evident that they have the marketing and merch 100% down. But is the pizza any good? The answer is yes. It checks every single box and then some. The new location in Flanders is such a vibe too. 12/10 could not recommend more.

Had a great experience here. Love the thick crust and thought the sauce was particularly good.
