Ruse Crust Collective Slabtown

The service was really wonderful. We loved our waiter. I loved that there were a couple of vegan options but the pizza was not quite the experience I hoped for. The crust and vegan cheese are good but the sauce and toppings were lackluster. There is so much greens piled on top that it was very messy to eat.

Sad to say me & the lady did not really particularly enjoy our trip. Pizza was good, but for the price it was not inspiring. We got the pepperoni on happy hour which came out to 19 (?) for a two person portion. Ingredients were great but the second it wasn’t hot out of the oven the overall taste was meh. Cesar salad tasted like nothing, the lemon wedge provided 70% of the flavor for the dish. Standout was certainly the little treat cocktail, really amazing & something I have never tasted before. Wonderful service, great location etc but end of the day I wasn’t very excited about the food. Have to try the sandwiches still as I understand those are kind of the standout menu item.

If you like Chicago, deep dish and thicker cross styles, this is definitely the pizza for you. The toppings were fresh. The pizza was cooked to perfection all the way through. If you only like thin crust, you will not like this. That being said if you only like thin cross, then you don’t appreciate all pizzas. If you in Portland and around, I need something good to eat. This is definitely a great choice. As far as dying in, I’m not sure, we ordered takeout. If you’re pizza connoisseur, this is definitely worth a shot.

This was our second awesome experience at the Crust Collective. The Detroit-style pizzas were beyond tasty. The service was super friendly, competent, and made the whole experience next level. Andy was a total hero. And the beer was just terrific, as you’d expect from Ruse. This is going to become a regular for us. My wife loves it, and she doesn’t normally like pizza! 🍕

The Monty sandwich is sooo gooood. I’m eating it right now as I type this. Great atmosphere and service, the bread is also fresh and made in house. I highly recommend

Great beers, delicious season salads , and great pizza. Ample seating both inside and out. Only complaint is no high chairs for kiddos. Most pizza joints are usually welcoming to families so no sure if this was on oversight or on purpose.

My favorite pizza place in Portland- we (Fraley + Company) designed the space so naturally we love the atmosphere! The pizzas are varied and all delicious, absolutely love the crust. Ruse beer never disappoints, the Shifting Dreams rice lager is my personal favorite. The craft cocktails are delicious, try the Psychic Reading next time you visit.

Such a fun place! Loved the detroit style pizza, and salads were great. And, even though mostly beer forward, they had a great wine list! Alicia, Nicole and Justin were amazing - they were friendly and made some great suggestions for our stay! Thanks to all for adding some fun to our trip!
