Pizzaiolo Nicholas Ford Is Leaving the Lake Oswego Pizzeria He Created | Eater Portland

"Opened in 2018 in Lake View Village, Pizzeria Sul Lago represented Ford's take on Neapolitan-adjacent pies, featuring toppings like Oregon hazelnut pesto and vegan mozzarella; it proved successful enough to announce a second location in Vancouver's Waterfront Park development. After almost two years at the restaurant, Ford says his time there was 'some of the more formative years in my career,' but he has decided to step away to spend more time cooking—he had been doing a lot of oversight and menu planning—and his last day at Pizzeria Sul Lago is December 10; Ford says he's heading somewhere in Portland but has not yet disclosed the new location." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
