The Best New Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland, March 2025

"Paladin Pie’s new sibling cart Oathbreaker, opened in November, is the latest addition to Mount Tabor cart pod Hinterland. Here, Leo Brill turns out crispy-bottomed New York-style pies made with slow-fermented sourdough out of the cart’s gas oven. Diners can customize half-and-half pies, opt for a classic pie pocked with pepperoni cups, or try the Bard pie with Calabrian chile cream, feta, giardiniera, and homemade Italian pork sausage. The cart also bakes ingredients like pepita pesto and roasted mushrooms into stromboli — don’t forget to add a side of ranch or chile crisp for dipping." - Paolo Bicchieri
