"Dimo’s was part of the latest pizza wave in Portland (circa 2019-’22), which graced the city with a handful of new businesses crafting crusts and textures oftentimes specific to Detroit and New Haven-style pies. In place of coal ovens, owner Doug Miriello remains loyal to Elm City’s signature char by baking thin-crust pizzas topped with wood-roasted clams and fennel sausage twice — an initial rise in the Baker’s Pride, followed by a transfer to the white oak-fired oven. Apart from accompaniments of seasonally-driven salads and rotating pasta specials, Miriello has been recently re-glorifying dank Italian sandwiches, stuffing Reubens and Philly cheesesteaks with scratch-made fixins including sauerkraut, stewed collard greens, and pastrami — down to the rye-sesame caraway baguettes. Sandwiches are offered Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Katrina Yentch
