"The Star, the popular brand of deep-dish pizza restaurants in the Bay Area, finally opens for good this weekend, with Oregon wines, Mama Lil’s topped pizzas, and a massive, comfy dining room in the heart of Portland’s Pearl District. The restaurant specializes in its sturdy deep-dish pizzas, but The Star also draws crowds for its thin-crust pizzas, salads, and sandwiches, complete with things like marinated Mary’s chicken and garlic-infused olive oil." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
