Authentic Neapolitan pizzas, pastas, and gluten-free fare.
"La Sorrentina Pizzeria — which Portland Monthly food critic Karen Brooks praised for its Neapolitan pizzas at the Hazel Dell food truck — opened its brick-and-mortar restaurant in a strip mall off 164th Avenue in the midst of the pandemic. Owner and chef Daisuke Matsumoto bakes fire-roasted red sauce pizzas like the classic Margherita, as well as white sauce pies like the Terra Mia with eggplant Parmesan, sausage, mozzarella, pesto, and basil on traditional or gluten-free crusts. The specials menu varies based on chef Matsumoto’s whims. Past offerings range from black truffle and wild porcini mushrooms served with freshly made tagliatelle to delizia al limone, a lemon pastry with fresh whipped cream from Sorrento, Italy, where chef Matsumoto trained with celebrated international chef Biagio Longo. Chef Longo regularly visits from Italy and teaches cooking classes at the restaurant." - Rachel Pinsky

"This food cart turned restaurant is known for its meticulous Neapolitan pies, a delicate, flavorful crust layered with rosy prosciutto or bursting cherry tomatoes. Owner Daisuke Matsumoto trained under master pizzaiolo Biagio Longo in Sorrento, Italy, now focusing exclusively on his restaurant’s pies; his business partner and wife, Amy Hernandez Matsumoto, greets customers who pop by the restaurant for pristine margheritas or briny puttanesca pies, covered with olives, capers, and anchovies. The terra mia, an eggplant parm pie with sausage, is a particular standout." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
