Ken's Artisan Pizza - Review - Kerns - Portland, OR - The Infatuation

"Ken’s Artisan is the old guard in Portland’s short pizza history. And while every aspiring pizzaiolo now vibes with long-fermented dough, hand-pulled mozzarella, and imported tomatoes, this wasn’t the norm when Ken’s opened their rustic wood-fired operation in Kerns nearly two decades ago. The corner restaurant maintains its casual neighborhood feel, despite hungry visitors killing time outside until it’s their turn to try these world-class pies. No, reservations aren’t taken, but it’s worth a little wait for their leopard-spotted pies, lush with pistachio pesto and mortadella, or sweet corn and smoked bacon balanced with green tomatoes that are bright and pickled." - Krista Garcia
