Where to Find Exceptional Pizzas in Portland and Beyond
"In a big, lofty Pearl District dining room, this Bay Area transplant specializes in deep-dish pizzas filled with things like artichoke hearts or roasted zucchini. Think of the Star’s deep-dish as a well-made pie: A crunchy, buttery crust with a dry base has a flavor almost like cornbread, filled with cheese and a sweet-not-sugary tomato sauce. The balance of textures is a true marvel, saucy and messy at its core, fluffy-not-gummy inside the crust, and satisfyingly crisp at the base and edges." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
