Straight From New York Pizza (Hawthorne)

I order a pizza meaty pizza and expected tons of meat and flavor with onions and other ingredients. I got my order and I was very disappointed by the look and how thin everything was. The ingredients were just rolling off the pizzas due to how small the ingredients were. Secondly, there was hardly any pizza sauce and the dough was beyond dry. There was barely any flavor or none at all. I feel like this pizza was already frozen since the crust was hard to bite into. In my opinion, I do not believe this was a NEW York pizza and paid 35.00 for 7 slices. Everyone was looking forward to the pizza whom Portland constantly talks about this place and the reviews. My whole team I bought it for were all disappointed by everything and for the prices, it didn’t even serve 10 people.

Above average NY style pizza for sure. Dough, cheese / toppings are commendable. I would return. Expect NYC prices however!? A complete mystery to me how pizzas (even subpar ones) in this town are $30!!! "Not approved" - Lionfield

Pizza was fine. I got a vegan and vegetarian slice. The vegan cheese was very sparse. Crust was dry and tough. Flavors were good though. They also don’t call your name when the pizza is ready, they just put it on the counter without saying anything.

This place was really good! The service was awesome and they were really great about allergies and got our order right. The price was a bit too much though!

I usually order ahead for to-go pizzas. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and they serve pizza by the slice if you're looking for a quick bite. Parking can be difficult, since it's on Hawthorne, so if you're going to pick up your pizzas, you may need to walk a few blocks.

It's been 18 months of pandemic time since I've gone anywhere for a slice. When I was finally feeling confident-ish enough to look for a place for a weekday lunchtime visit, the searches I did for my old standbys showed that most of them are doing whole pie take-out or delivery only, and they generally don't open until 4 PM. SFNY indicated that they were open for lunch, and serving slices. I was happy to see that all the employees were masked, and that the space for visitors was well marked for customers to keep an appropriate distance from each other. As for the pizza - it was just what I hoped for. I had a cheese slice with just the right balance between sauce and cheese, as well as a pepperoni slice that was perfectly greasy, just the way it should be. Prices were reasonable, and, though I didn't opt for the '$5 slice and a beer' special, it was great to see it available. I'm still trying to avoid indoor spaces in general, but I'm glad to see that Straight From New York is available for pizza by the slice, while keeping the experience safe for their employees and their customers.

Just get the whole pizza. Slice is nice but you're gonna want another.

Great pizza on the go by the slice! I got a custom one with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, spinach, green peppers, onion, roasted garlic cloves and olives. Worth the price for sure!
