Hapa Pizza

"For years, Aaron and Natalie Truong have sold their eclectic pizzas at the Beaverton Farmers Market, finally opening their own restaurant in 2023. The shop’s brick oven turns out leopard-flecked Neapolitan pies with an ultra-thin crust and pillowy edges, topped with ingredients like Vietnamese barbecue pork or slow-cooked brisket to mimic the flavors of Vietnamese dishes like banh mi and pho. Those clinging to tradition can also opt for classics like margherita or pepperoni here, best accompanied by a side of yuzu ranch." - Krista Garcia

"What started as a farmers market stand has become one of Beaverton’s most exciting new restaurant openings. Hapa Pizza uses a foundation of soft, chewy, char-speckled crust for toppings that take cues by a cool collection of pan-Asian dishes. For example, a heavily reduced pho broth becomes a sauce for a pizza inspired by the Vietnamese noodle soup, topped with fall-apart tender brisket, mozzarella, and a handful of bean sprouts. A yellow curry base comes with a scattering of potatoes and bell pepper, with a choice of chicken or tofu. And the banh mi pie cuts the richness of pork with pickled radish and carrots. Sticklers and purists will find the standards here as well, like pepperoni and margherita." - Ben Coleman
