Escape From New York Pizza

Escape From New York Pizza - Review - Northwest - Portland, OR - The Infatuation

"In a city obsessed with sourdough crusts and wood-fired ovens, Escape from New York Pizza is a refreshingly unapologetic holdout. Since 1983, this sliver of a shop on NW 23rd has been serving floppy, foldable slices to cash-strapped students, homesick East Coasters, and people who are indifferent to imported Pecorino and San Marzano tomatoes. The specials don’t get crazier than mushroom and olive on Thursdays, and the place proudly touts its “Ranch free since ’83” motto, so no dipping sauces to speak of. These days, it might not seem groundbreaking, but back when Portland had zero decent slice joints, EFNY was the lone standout." - Krista Garcia
