Assembly Brewing- Pizza Annex

Came here to try the pizza week special. Honestly, I didn't even think I liked Detroit style pizza. I guess I've just never had a good one before because I LOVED their pizza!!! Crispy, crunchy, caramelized edges. Plenty of sauce and just their tomato sauce itself is fantastic! The staff were super kind, the place was clean, and this area in Alberta is super cozy. We've definitely found our new pizza place.

This is my second visit here and I'm delighted. Detroit style pizza isn't something I've ever had before and generally speak and I like a thin crust but this was outstanding! Much lighter and fluffier than I had imagined and the sauce on top was delicious and not even messy at all and not even messy at all. This is unique pizza for me and I absolutely love it!

Went for dinner today with my son. To start Carol’s service was awesome. We had a small Veggie and s small Veggie Gourmet. Small at owner’s recommendation, all corners. It’s legit the kind of food that makes your eyes roll back. The Diego Mexican Lager was really good.

Wow! How do they make this pizza so good!? I got a small cheese pizza and added my own toppings because I couldn't decide. I got cheese with jalapenos, pineapple and mushrooms and it was to die for! Traditional Detroit style pizza was just unbelievable! Probably the best pizza spot on Alberta! Love supporting this locally owned business and they got great craft brew too that's their own!

Amazing pizza and great beer selection. The pizza is soft but has a nice crisp crust, super cheesy and perfect amount of sauce on top. Beautiful art features, friendly staff/owners, and a great atmosphere.

Wife and I went in yesterday around 7pm. 1 other party there. Cashier/server/host/bartend…to me…. Seemed to be… high or no, just high on some super depressant. Asked for 2 cheese and 1 “the d” pizza squares TO GO! Was told “3 minutes” and proceeded to wait. 7 minutes in, I see the server washing dishes or attempting to in the back, without gloves, comes and checks my pizza, without gloves. Takes the pizza out, places it behind this shelf or something like that and is there for a couple minutes. Comes out with 2 metal treys the pizzas are on and says I gave you an extra plate. The pizza had mounds of liquid sauce poured over it. Not at request. I said I wanted it to go, they giggled and said oh ok and slid it into a box they had waiting. Sloppy and ignorant. I’m literally allergic to certain amounts of tomato sauce. Glad it was liquid enough to slide it back into the box. Shame they took a great location and turned it into a damn place bumping night club music that’s extremely vulgar

Best pizza in town, fight me. As far as Detroit style goes, it's got the crispy crust without being too heavy or doughy, the sauce is incredible, and the beers are good. I think it's heads above Ranch, Wild Child, Pop, Meta... All great pizza, don't get me wrong, I'm just really blown away by Assembly. Bravo.

Great food but the front of house service was pretty awful. Like, actively trying to avoid saying hello and taking orders from customers. The people in line behind us even asked "does this guy actually work here?" after the dude at the counter ignored all of us multiple times, walking back and forth for almost ten minutes. for the record, the place was almost empty, not busy at all. Hate to complain but we're not being Karens here, we just want your pizza!

Assembly is the Portland home for Detroit-style pizza. The owner grew up on Detroit pizza. Later he learned how to home brew beer. Then he got his Phd in Detroit Pizza studying with the late Shawn Randazzo. They have slices and pies, some sides and salads, 6 taps for now, and a small full bar. They had most of their menu items as slices. I had the vegan which looked a little lighter than the other selections, plus a fine Caesar salad with both grated and shaved parmesan and a slice of lemon on the side. They have gluten-free crust available. I have to give a shout out for the shakers for parmesan and red pepper flakes. Most spots have lids with small holes. They are like a carnival game or a claw machine. You think you are going to get something out of them, but it is a trick, you can never win. Assembly has found some lids (pictured) with ample slots Thank you! The founder has been a part of the creative community in Portland for a long time. The Foster location has a large mural, at this Alberta location, that artist has work up now, and will curate other artists into the space. It was nice to see hand-made lighting fixtures by Lam Quảng - HiiH. Lam makes his own paper from pulp and fashions it into free-form colorful shapes. His live-work space was across the street from the now Assembly in one of early, then cheap rent, Alberta artist studios. This location is a little smaller than the Foster location. I did see a high chair and there were families there opening night. There are 4 counter seats, 5 four-person-ish tables and 6 two person-ish tables. There is also an outside seating area in back and picnic tables along the street. It can be busy and it will be a great stop attending an event at the Alberta Theater. When you need a slice or need a pie, and you are hungry for Detroit-style, this is one of the few spots for that in Portland.

Portions are way too small for the high prices. Ordered a whole pie and still left hungry...... Flavor wasn't great. We'll miss you Bella :(

We came to Assembly because we wanted to try deep dish in Portland. We found the place on Instagram and the food looked good and it was a nice large spot with its own parking lot. There was a lovely mural inside and the place had homey bar feels, it let us just chill there for a little bit. Not sure what the other reviews that are low are about but our pizza was beautiful and tasted absolutely amazing. The server was a great dude knew his beer selection and when we asked for a stout he was u sure about he went back to try it to make sure he could trust his recommendation. Just an overall positive experience. I got the best Moscow mule with a local vodka that I was not expecting for a brewery. Gather some friends and go on a night out to enjoy reasonably priced drinks and not overly complicated food tasting food. The picture gives credit that we couldn't stop eating.

I wish I understood why you're charging $5 a slice for pizza that has a SINGLE PIECE of pepperoni on it. I really miss Bella ... sigh.

My partner and I frequent the Foster location of Assembly Brewing, so we were eager to try out this new spot. However, our experience was disappointing. The prices were excessively high for the quality offered. If you're shelling out good money, the food should be top-notch, like homemade. Unfortunately, our pizza was lacking in toppings and the dough was gooey. Overall, a letdown in terms of taste and value

I've been in twice now, and both times the pizza was delicious! Crispy crust, chewy cheese around the edges, and super yummy and tangy sauce on top. The service was good, and the atmosphere is just okay. It's family friendly which is great. It's also a bit noisy from the fans.

This was an excellent deep dish pizza! I can't speak for the other negative reviews but Bella is gone and has no relevance here. The pizza had a nice crispy crust and was not too dense or doughy which can sometimes happen with deep dish. I would definitely go back. Great staff and service as well. Highly recommend

Another deep dish pizza place on alberta. That ls now four deep dish spots within 15 blocks. At least these are MINI deep dish slices though. Gross AND costly, yayyyy. RIP Bella

It's disheartening that my favorite pizza spot Bella Faccia closed and this is now in its place. Not a fan. The slices are SO small for $5.50+. Super gooey cheese and minimal toppings. The place was packed, but it still shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

The people were nice enough and the food came out quickly, which was nice for all the families. The Caesar was good as well, but the pizza was way undercooked, which was a bummer. I'm gonna stick with Pop Pizza, but check out Assembly for yourself.

detroit style pizza makes me feel like home, good vibes good beer, good people, and wifi

we wanted to try assembly vrewing pizza annex, after bella pizza, sad, closed after 20 plus yrs...the setup is similar to before...the original artwork is outstanding, and the music playing was excellent...we shared a kolsch, a greek salad, and a slice of cheese and a slice of veggie....the beer/pizza/salad were great....the detroit style pizza was real nice and hot, and so delicious....the staff is very friendly and quick....we didn't check out the front and back eating areas as it was a cold day....we read the story of the owner on the website and loved it......next time we will check the outside areas out...thx so much....
